It’s Too Late

Disclaimer: None of this is true, and is meant just for entertainment.

It was an ordinary day, and as usual, I was playing in the FE2 Pro Server with some random people I didn’t know. Everything was normal in that server for like 3 hours, and I had fun chatting with some of the players there. Well, that it until this random guy joined the server. I can’t remember his username well, but I do know that it had a lot of numbers in it.

He didn’t say anything at first. He just remained idle in the spawn area for around 30 or so minutes. His avatar was that of a typical player, bacon hair and all that.

We were playing in the map Dark Sci-Facility, and most people died at the start, so it was just me and two other people who were left. While the other two were cheering us on, one player died when he went to press a button. That’s when the weird player started typing strange messages into the chat box. His first message was [null]. Everyone ignored him at first, but at that exact moment, the other player (who was standing on a platform and wasn’t touching any lava) died. I thought he reset his avatar or maybe he timed out, and it just so happened to occur at the same time [null] was typed into the chat. I went ahead and pressed the last remaining button and made it to the end.

When the game was loading the next message, I looked at the chat again and saw another [null] message. However, this time, everyone not he server, including him, died.

Some guy started calling him a hacker, and everyone did the same. The guy just kept typing [null] and a random player in the server would die. Eventually, some players left the server. I decided to just ignore him, and eventually left the game.

However, as soon as I left, I saw that I had a message from him. Not one message. A lot of messages. And all of them said [null]. One person I was playing with in the server earlier, whom I had added as a friend, sent me a message too and told me that some guy was spamming him [null] messages. I was freaked out, mainly because my settings allowed only people in my friends list to leave me messages. I checked, double checked and triple checked, and he wasn’t in my friends list, and my settings were the same as they had always been.

I decided to reply to the weird messages, and asked him what he wanted. Here’s our conversation as I remember it:

Me: What do you want?

Him: Join my game.

Me: What game?

He sent me a link to another game. Jailbreak. It was one of my favourite games, and it didn’t seem to suspicious so I just joined, praying he would shut up. I thought he was just some random troller.

When we got in, he started typing in some admin commands, and this confirmed my suspicions that he was clearly using some kind of hack. When I broke out of prison, he was outside, waiting for me. He then started asking me some really personal questions; what’s your name? Where do you go to school? How old are you? Where do you live? Are you alone at home? I knew he was somehow trying to kidnap me or do something to mess me up, and I was genuinely scared now. Some people on the server said to report him for being a child predator. I tried to leave the server, but noticed that the ‘Leave Game’ button was gone, so I closed the window instead.

When I closed it, the ROBLOX website was there, and he kept sending me spam messages; [null], [null] and more [null]. I told him to shut up, or else I would block him. He didn’t listen, so I blocked him and forgot about him for a whole month, before he went online again.

I had blocked him, but he somehow exploited the block system and managed to send me a message. He told me he was sorry, and I asked him, “Sorry for what?” Since I was playing FE2, he joined my game, then started bullying everyone on the server. I told him to stop, because there were lots of kids in the server. He did stop bullying them, but then he started bullying me. I decided this was better then him hurting others and decided to just ignore him. But his spamming was starting to get on my nerves. He was telling me to stop ignoring him. I told him I would stop if he shut up, and that’s when things went downhill pretty quickly.

He somehow got hold of my IP address and location, then broadcasted it to everyone on the server. I told him to F off and stop harassing me, but he didn’t listen, so I reported him. Everyone else on the server was trying to get him to stop as well, but since he didn’t listen, everyone gave up and started leaving one by one. Before long, there were only four people left in the server.

He then started threatening me, saying that if I didn’t follow his demands, he would come over to my house and shoot me and my entire family. I blocked him and left the server, but that’s when ROBLOX crashed and my PC screen turned black. I thought maybe he somehow sent me a virus? I turned it on again, and saw that ROBLOX was gone. I redownloaded it and checked my profile. Everything was normal, but my friends list had changed. I didn’t recognise anyone there, but freaked out since all the avatars were white and faceless, and their usernames were a whole bunch of random letters and numbers. He started messaging me, sending me all the personal information he could find. Like my current exact location. Then the messages stopped. I checked my friends list, and everything was back to normal. I thought he was just trolling and that he has gotten tired of messing with me. I then played ROBLOX like it was any other day.

That night, I received a message from him, but it was only three words long.

It’s too late.
