The excitement that I feel within is overflowing.
Talking about the baby, born into a game.
So innocent, timid but not that stupid.
Back when I was a dependent university student.
The door to internet and global world was introduce to me.
By my very first buddy a true friend until this day.
Everyday is a happy day when especially when it is Friday.
It is a big day, going to witness the sunshine inside the internet cafe’.
Okay here I am with the party.
A shaman is for the endless life so necessary.
A swordsman with tq skill is so okay.
With the archer damaging the lure with dod.
Fury, strife, and havoc are the servers.
We then choose fury over the others.
Upon entering fury, we enrolled in Phoenix.
Then we party so far that was the next.
The newbies in the world of online game weary.
Plenty of people so tricky.
Learned my lessons enchanting words when angry.
Leveling up is so speedy with rosary.
The fun continues for four years.
Following the ultimate pattern, twenty-four hours for two days.
Friday is always the starting day.
Witnessing the sunshine inside the cafe’.
It never tires us because it always made us happy.
Meeting new buddies from the real world enrolled in other universities.
Kind ‘a funny but some of them did not make it.
To the stage where they must be.
The year of fun is about to end.
Yes, it is a need, and we did.
For four years we had fun.
And what a run, comparable to none.
But before we bid goodbye, we did silly things.
We created funny and scary things.
We bring havoc in fury that strife some players with some loot.
So funny that the before baby, killing all players like a bot.
We therefore ended our college days with memories to treasure.
And we are still not sure if we can meet again.
And have the fun we had before.
Friday night is our gaming galore.
Time skipped to two thousand and eleven.
When the memories are refresh again.
I come across to the same game.
Now I created and curiosity driven me again.
The same old world become so new.
With various updates and added classes too.
From the three floor characters added with two.
Gunner and assassins are the new.
The bosses become bigger.
Players become more hyper.
With some new events that make the map bigger.
And an ultima for leveling up faster.
I started gain from zero.
Created new student still and archer as my favorite hero.
Here I go again, thinking never we again.
Accepting the fact that I need to establish a legacy in game.
In game I started again with the same old name with one, Integrals1.
I did grind again for several weeks, but it is different this time.
I leveled up faster with the help of some fund.
Made a short cut way bought items using the real-world money.
Broom, zoom and all I did is swept the floor.
Bang all doors, killed mobs and blasted, kaboom.
In two weeks, I was able to almost max level again.
With all the necessary skills, for player kill.
The fun is in new level.
Players are hyper, ever.
The fun is new level again.
I killed Noram1, an afk player.
Oops!........
The sun shined again in the internet cafe’.
The old memory flashback like a bomb.
Should I have known that it is Noram.
A world chat then echoed.
“Do, buang ka? Kumusta?”
“Buddy, are you mad? How are?”
Then the world stopped.
O, come on.
The game is on again.
With an old friend in a same world.
An old friend in different status in life.
We are already professional in real realm.
But crazy duo in digital world.
With the same kind of heroes, feels like new.
But we crossed our roads with our new named babies.
The tandem and the fun continues like old days.
But the twenty-four hours in two days.
Is now every after working hour.
We already have fund and a personal computer as ours.
This game is crazy fun.
We are like crazy in this world of fun.
Because in our real life we are stressed.
With so many deadlines, leading us to the road of the deceased.
But for just a short period of time we go separate ways again.
As we focused on our postgraduate studies.
Extending our name with the title doctor.
Hoping to be promoted and be like our boss a dictator.
Because of so much work and terms and papers to do.
The lonely computer and my online world slowly vanished.
Not until my study is finished.
Dissertation is time consuming and a lot of to do.
Finally, all effort paid off.
I can wear that coconut husk in my head.
With the doctor title that doesn’t heal.
The doctor soon as dictator.
Three years passed unnoticed.
Sat on the chair with a beer.
Facing the river,
beside our quarter.
Breath in a long and relaxing one.
Stretched my feet, stress days are gone.
What could be the sunset offer for tomorrow?
Where are those happy days that we borrow?
The fun we had and the raids we did.
The looting and leaving nothing.
Low level players hoping to be exempted while we are killing.
The bully days while we are laughing.
Where are the days we shared as we witnessed the sun rise and peek in our windows?
Sharing our stupid things, we have done.
After playing the game, we are cramming for the exams.
After the class, laughing as we run.
That message means a lot.
The tower of Babylon we built is shocked.
In the ground lying, mixed with other rocks.
Use to build your new home, no one can mock.
The healer shared his talisman to the last breath.
Give us a fight to remember.
He is my best of friend ever.
Noram and Noram1 you are the one.
