Chapter 283: War of the Leagues (13)

Rats were scurrying through the pile of rubbish which towered all around the room. A stench of old, stale food and alcohol hung in the air while the trash lay on the floor completely unattended. The lights were switched off and the whole room was thrown into darkness except for a single spot. Dim light emitted from the computer's screen and a woman with wild curls is muttering under her breath. Dark circles formed under her eyes but she unblinkingly stared at the screen, pressing the buttons continuously.

"Die!" She muttered as she shot down a few soldiers on screen who were attacking her character. "Die! Die! Die!"

The screen blipped and a message popped up.

"You have unlocked a new badge: General!" A robotic voice declared.

The woman smirked and let out a sigh of relief. She glanced at the wall clock. It was nearly 6 PM. How long had she been playing the game?

"You're wasting your time, Aina."
