Morning

Around 11:35 AM

Inside a room

"Shoot! Shoot! Quick, headshot! Shoot!"

"Bro, revive me!"

"Bro, only one guy left. If we don't get the chicken dinner because of you, I'll come to your house and give you 10 headshots on your ass!"

"Wait! There's an enemy ahead... enemy! Oh no, no! Behind, behind! You idiot! Where are you going?"

Annoyed, Avinash muttered, "Time to mute all these people. They've been driving me crazy for the past half an hour."

Switching on the mic, he said, "Now watch what I do."

"Here, take these headshots..."

Suddenly, a dangerous headshot landed—not in the game, but directly on Avinash's head!

His face slammed into the PC monitor as his mom yelled from behind, "You keep playing games silently! Go and get the groceries quickly. PUBG (BGMI)? No, son, groceries!"

When Avinash turned around, he saw his mom holding another slipper, ready to strike. He immediately realized he needed to leave quickly, or another headshot was guaranteed.

He glanced at his computer screen, where his team had completely lost. Avinash was sure his teammates were showering him with plenty of "polite curses."

A little later

Avinash was walking home with a grocery bag when he suddenly heard a commotion in an alley.

As he approached, he saw—

A boy pinning a chubby boy with glasses against the wall, saying, "Will you hand over the money, or should I take it myself?"

Two other boys stood behind him, cracking their knuckles. The moment they noticed Avinash, one of them said, "Shekhar bro, look! Another target. Double battery!"

Hearing this, Shekhar, who was holding the boy by his collar, turned around to look.

The moment Shekhar saw Avinash, his face turned pale with fear. Beads of sweat formed on his forehead.

Adjusting his glasses, Avinash said, "Shekhar, meeting after so many days, huh? You haven't forgotten me, right? Won't you snatch my money like before?"

Hearing this, Shekhar screamed, "Run!"

Seeing Shekhar run, his friends followed him, confused about why Shekhar was so scared of a skinny guy like Avinash.

Avinash watched them run away and then approached the boy with glasses. He said, "Hello! My name is Avinash, and I live nearby. What's your name?"

The boy picked up his glasses from the ground and said, "Vivan... and thank you—"

As he looked at Avinash's face, he started trembling with fear. Backing away suddenly, he fell to the ground and stammered, "Please! Let me go... please!" Then, he ran away quickly.

Avinash gave a faint smile and walked back home.

Evening

Around 7:30 PM

Avinash shouted, "Finally! I've created my gaming YouTube channel—Single Baba Gaming! Now it's going to be all money, money, money!"

"What should I do now? Let's start with a live stream."

1 hour later

Reading comments, Avinash said—

"Face 🤡🤡 skills 🗿🗿"

Laughing, he said, "Thank you for the insult, thank you, Amit bro."

"LoL!"

"Bro, you look familiar," another comment popped up.

Avinash: "I don't get it. Can you explain? You've been saying this for the past half hour."

Rajat69 Bhai: "Bro, I have a question for you."

Taking a deep breath, Avinash muttered, "Only 90 people have joined in the last hour, and half of them have already left."

During the live stream

"Bro, the VFX is great. Which app are you using?"

Avinash, confused: "VFX? I don't understand."

"Bro, look down! There's a red light. It looks really cool!"

Startled, Avinash glanced down.

A faint smile appeared on his face as he realized what was happening.

"Ah... Looks like I'm entering another world!"

A glowing red circle had appeared on the floor.

Moments later, Avinash disappeared from there.

Live stream viewers

"Hey! Where did he go?"

"That was a great magic trick!"

"I thought this was a gaming channel."

"₹10 super chat! Please do it again!"

"Lol! I was also thinking it's a gaming channel. Bro, come back now. This trick was fun, but enough!"

"Bro, it's been 5 minutes now. I'm leaving the stream."

In the other world

Avinash found himself in a stone chamber. The walls looked like they belonged to a 15th-century fortress.

There were others present, equally baffled by their surroundings.

A Japanese boy exclaimed, "To hell with that life! I finally got isekai'd without a truck!"

Everyone turned to look at him in confusion.

A Chinese boy asked, "Do you understand Chinese?"

A girl added, "Your Korean is pretty good."

The boy replied, "But I was speaking Japanese. And you all understand Japanese?"

Everyone realized they could understand each other despite speaking different languages.

Suddenly, the sound of heavy footsteps echoed. Moments later, soldiers surrounded them.

One of the newcomers, an athletic-looking Black man, spoke in frustration, "Can someone tell me what's going on here?"

Before he could take another step, a soldier thrust a spear into his knee.

"Ahhh!"

His scream echoed. Everyone else froze in fear.

A boy standing next to Avinash muttered, "Maa ki..."

Avinash glanced at him and realized he was Indian too.

Though Avinash didn't fully understand what was happening, he knew one thing for sure.

The Indian boy finished his thought, "We're screwed."

The Japanese boy, who had initially yelled, trembled as he said, "This is hell. This isn't how it's supposed to be. Tell me this is just a bad dream."

The silence was interrupted by a blood-curdling scream. A soldier had nearly severed a girl's leg. The floor was stained with blood.

One by one, everyone in the room was overpowered and restrained.

A while later

Everyone lay on the ground when a stunningly beautiful girl entered.

Her face looked like a stone sculpture, but a devilish grin soon spread across it.

In a voice dripping with bitterness and hatred, she said,

"Welcome, heroes."
