NEW YORK CITY

"Now, we have a very devastating news. Almost the city's population play the popular game War Legends. Players of the game were starting to disappear and cost 90% of the city's population. Now, policemen were still finding all of them but...there are still no evidence. Goodnight." the mayor of New York City sadly said for his goodnight message.

Welcome to New York 2016, quiet streets roam unusually and was declared as the most quiet city in the whole world since 2013. The other 10% of the population was left and most of them are senior citizens.

Then one day-

TAN RESIDENCE - New York City

"Honey, you barely touched the pasta." Angela Tan said in great concern to her husband, James Tan as their children, Vexy Tan and Drake Tan focused their eyes to their father feeling unusual.

"I'm full. I'm going to the bathroom." James said as he stood up walking towards the bathroom while tapping his SmartWatch in his left wrist.

In his SmartWatch-

                             Me:
                             I'm coming.

He opened tye bathroom door and closed it. But he didn't get inside the bathroom, he sneaked to the kitchen, removed their large framed family picture and a sneaky door was exposed. He opened the door, returned the frame into the wall and closed the door.

Later-

"Thank you for coming here, agent Tan. I got a new assignment for you." Pamela said giving James a folder.

James scanned the folder and silence started roaming.

"So you want me to play War Legends?" James said to clarify.

"Yeah. But that doesn't mean that your assignment is to play. The point is the missing players. We have to find them. I've sent 10 agents for this. And you're the eleventh." Pamela replied.

"Right. I'm going out." James said as he stood up from his chair amd returned home.

He returned the frame gently to cover the door and he slowly walked to the bathroom. He opened the bathroom door very slowly that no sound was produced. He went inside, and got out and acted neutrally to the table.

"Honey, my manager called me to go to work right now." James said wearing his jacket and carried his suitcase.

"Work on the night?" Her wife said as she stood up from the table feeling like she thinks her husband is hiding something.

"I'm not going anywhere, honey. It's just that my manager wants to see me at his office." James said to calm her wife.

"All right. Just make it quick." Angela said as she sat down.

"Bye. Love you guys." James said as he hurried on closing the door.

He ran through the sleeping streets of New York City. He ran directly ran to an internet cafe. He made an account to War Legends and played for three hours. After that, he ran home.

"Honey, *yawn* you gotta get to bed before it's late." Angela said.

"Why are you waiting for me?" he asked before closing the door of their bedroom. Then the lights of the Tan rescidence began to shut off.
