My Favorite

It was a summer day a few years ago. I was laying in my bed bored and with nothing to do. I was supposed to go to my friend's birthday party at the public pool but it was cancelled due to thunderstorms. To kill the time, I decided to log onto Roblox and, for a little while, play my favorite game at the time: Work at a Pizza Place.

I logged on and clicked on Work at a Pizza Place. It had been a while since I had played Roblox especially since 1.16 of Minecraft had just released and I was focusing on other games. So, maybe Work at a Pizza Place had been updated and changed a bit. I clicked the great big green play button and was launched into a server. A few seconds after I joined, before I could even choose a job like a cashier or chef, I was teleported to another game titled "My Favorite". I was confused. "It's probably just a glitch" I thought. I left and rejoined Work at a Pizza Place. But yet again, I was teleported to this strange game. I left again, frustrated. I tried joining a different game. I tried to join Meepcity. And again, I was teleported to the strange place. I tried over and over to join other games I wanted to play but I continuously was teleported to the other stupid game. Angrily, I slammed my laptop shut. "Whatever. I'll just try again later." I thought. I was furious since I had nothing else to do and I really wanted to see if the games had changed or not. After I had dinner that night, I decided to give it another shot.

I clicked on Work at a Pizza Place and pressed play. I was teleported to the game again but the text was mysteriously corrupted. "My Favorite" turned into "M̶̹̭̮̈́y̶͎̞̪̰͓̌̐͆̚ ̶̛̼̖͎̏́͋F̴̗̙̹̯͇͙̠̅̃̒́͝a̴͚̦̝̜̓͒v̸̫̤͚̭͌ö̸̡̺̯̘̣͈̣r̸̹̩͙̺̟̈͆̈́́͆͝͝ͅi̷̼̬̭̓́̿́̈͆͜ṯ̵̭̽̄͑̈́̏ë̴̜́" The thumbnail had even been changed to some kind of horrific gore. When I joined, it was really the first time I had seen the inside of this game since I kept closing the window when I joined and didn't really look around in game. Inside the game, I spawned inside of a bright box that hurt my eyes. The creator was a user named "FreeRoux_ForAll". There were dancing statues of him everywhere inside this bright box and a humongous statue at the end of the box. It was really strange to me. I wondered "Why did the game look so scary from the outside but not on the inside?" That was only because I hadn't ventured much into this game yet. At the base of the large statue was a white circular brick. When I stepped on, it teleported me to a red box with nothing inside. "Maybe I should stop" I thought... but I didn't. I walked to the end of this red box and I saw text on the floor which was not in English. According to Google Translate, this language was Amharic and the text read "I curse whom read this message. Your account is beginning to fade". After reading this on my Google Translate app, I immediately left this game.

After thinking for a while, I just assumed that it was probably a prank that someone was trying to play. I joined Work at a Pizza Place again. I was teleported to another game but it wasn't "My Favorite". Instead, it was a game titled "I T S E E M S". When I joined, the game went full screen automatically and put me in first person. This was probably so that I couldn't leave. I pressed escape on my keyboard and tried to press the leave button only to be rejoined in this game. It's also to note that this game was also made by the same person who created My Favorite, FreeRoux_ForAll.
