The Fourth GroupThis group was no ordinary team—they were known for their unity and skill in video games, earning them the nickname Geniuses of the Virtual World.
Their leader, korey, never knew rest. Always absorbed in the test game releases and endless fan messages, even in the heart of the mysterious cave his mind connected every movement to a game or virtual puzzle.
The group set off according to the map’s instructions, and the path led them to a strange tree. As they approached, they were stunned by the sight: a cluster of eggs pnted in the ground, enormous and transparent, each containing a cube that seemed to form the egg’s core.
“What… eggs, and inside them… a cube?” Korey muttered in astonishment.
“Is there a living thing shaped like a cube?” one of them asked, worry evident in their voice.
Everyone felt a faint tremor beneath their feet.
“Run! It’s an earthquake!” Korey shouted, his pulse spiking suddenly.
They all bolted, trying to escape, but suddenly one of the eggs cracked open.
From it emerged a bizarre creature—cube shaped, like a keyboard key, its back marked with familiar symbols: Shift, …Alt, Ctrl.
Korey screamed, as if all his memories from real and virtual games had collided in a single instant: “What’s happening? Is this a dream?”
He recalled the words of the mysterious clown they had encountered earlier in the cave and rushed to retreat. Most of the group tried to flee, but the cube creatures began leaping onto them, pressing down on their bodies like hands on a keyboard, striking in synchronized bursts as if they were controlling reality itself.
They retreated in a strange, almost mechanical way, as if forced to repeat each movement three times without realizing it, trapped between awe and terror, unable to figure out how to survive.
The nightmares were no longer mere virtual games… they had become a tangible reality before their eyes, and every step deeper into the cave brought them closer to a mysterious force they still could not comprehend.
