The Mysterious Game: The First Level

Kabanata 1: Chapter - 1 : Finding the GAME

Evern, a lively 13-year-old schoolboy bursting with energy and an unquenchable thirst for adventure, often found himself dreaming of exploring uncharted territories and uncovering hidden treasures that lay buried in distant lands. One radiant afternoon, with the salty breeze playfully tousling his tousled hair, he wandered along the expansive shore of a sun-kissed beach. The warm sand felt comforting beneath his bare feet, leaving behind fleeting impressions that disappeared with the gentle caress of the retreating waves.

As he drifted further away from the cheerful clamor of sunbathers and children playing, something unusual caught his eye, half-hidden beneath the grains of sand. He crouched down, curiosity awakening in his chest, and began to dig gently around the object. To his surprise, he unearthed a small box that seemed to be meticulously crafted from time-worn wood. Its surface was covered in intricate, albeit faded carvings, hints of the stories it might contain, and the years it had endured against the relentless elements. The box felt unexpectedly weighty in his hands, exuding an aura of mystery and significance that instantly captivated his imagination.

With a blend of excitement and nervousness pulsing through him, Evern carefully pried open the lid. As it creaked open, a blinding, ethereal white light burst forth like the dawn of a new day, illuminating his face and momentarily dazzling his wide eyes. This radiant glow enveloped him, casting shimmering reflections on the sand around him, as if he had stumbled upon a gateway to another realm. Evern's heart raced wildly in his chest, filled with anticipation about the wonders and secrets that lay within the glowing box, waiting for him to uncover.
