Kenji had always been a fan of video games, and today with his allowance he decided to treat himself with a new one. He had been hearing reviews about this latest online multiplayer game called "Forsaken", and now that he finally saved up enough he knew it was time.
He walked up to the counter and handed the game to the saleslady.
"I'll be taking this one this time." He said cheerfully.
The saleslady looked at the cover and smiled. "Nice choice. Take some breaks every now and then okay? I heard a lot of people get highly addicted to these kind of games. You know that story about those parents in Korea right?"
He nodded. "Don't worry. I don't think my brother would want me to go overtime. He'll confiscate my computer in a snap."
She smiled. "Good."
After she handed him the game-now paid for- Kenji walked briskly out the door towards home.
Today is going to be great! Kenji thought to himself.
-----
In a matter of minutes he was home. He went straight to his room without a word to anyone else in the house.
He placed the CD in his CPU and installed everything.
Kenji could feel the adrenaline rush; He always had this excitement when he had something new to do.
Once the game was installed, he entered the game.
On the screen flashed the following text:
Take care as you enter here, for you could never go back.
Do you wish to continue?"
Of course, not taking the message seriously, Kenji clicked the "YES" button.
And just like that, he had entered the game.

Somewhere out there...
She checked the logs of all the users that had now joined the system.
Looking closer, she saw the name "Kenji Murasaki"
A smile crossed her face.

Author's Notes: I don't even remember how I started this story, or the NAMES of my old character. It's been that long it seems. I need to find those notebooks.
Comments? Suggestions? I need them.
I'll just keep writing until my ideas stop.
