Zero, One, Two...

I hate this game. Yet for some reason, I'm obsessed with it. That's another reason why I hate this game. It ruined my life. 5 years ago, I thought I could be somebody. I thought I could do something great. At the ripe age of 18, I was ready to start my life.

One day, I was browsing through YouTube and saw a roblox video. I didn't play that game much anymore, but I might as well log on again. I went onto my old account and looked at the homepage. I didn't see a single interesting game, except for one. It was called "Zero" and the thumbnail was... nothing.

I know it doesn't sound that appealing, but neither was most of the other games on the site these days, so I began playing. A big, booming voice erupted from my computer's speakers saying "Zero.' It only said it once, but it was really long, loud and drawn out. And then there was the "game." The stupid game, if you can even call it that. It was just a 0 symbol spinning against a black background. I accidentally rested my arm against my mouse, and I accidentally clicked on the zero, teleporting me to another game.

This game was called "One." The thumbnail was a tree. Once again, a voice said the word "One" and the game was nothing but a spinning 1 symbol. Then, the text showed up. Only for a silver of a second, but It popped up a few more times and eventually I was able to take a screenshot. It said this: "GrqrwjrdqbixuwkhuZkhqbrxuhdfkohyho6brxzlooihhoolnhbrxduhehlqjhdwhqiurpwkhlqvlghdqgwkhjdphzloowudsbrxuvrxoLhashulhqfhgwklvidwhdqgLgrqwzdqwlwwrkdsshqwrbrx" and from what I know it was just gibberish. I tried saying it in the game, and sure enough I was transported to the next level.

After a few days, I reached game 5. It is worth noting that with every game, the tree in the thumbnail became more damaged. By this game, the stump of what used to be the tree had a black creature coming out of it. When I joined the game, it looks the same as the other games, but something was different. The voice was now speaking gibberish as well! Then, a red tint went over my screen, and I heard a loud scream. It didn't sound like it was coming from my computer, instead it sounded like it came from the other room. Then, my account was banned from roblox. I was initially saddened, but I don't give a fuck now.

This is where the obsession began. I made alt accounts and went onto the game again, doing all of the puzzles again until I reached Five. This time, I recorded the voice and reversed it, and found out it said: Put the pieces together.

I've been stuck on this part for five years. I threw my life away over it. Maybe it's time to quit. Or maybe, I could try one more time.
