U-Tyler ubelokhu engumdlali okhuthele, kusukela umfowabo omdala uDylan emethula kumdlalo wokuqala we-Destiny emuva lapho eneminyaka engu-14 kuphela. Selokhu athatha leso silawuli futhi wabulala iChimera yakhe yokuqala wabanjwa. Okuthile kuvele kuchofoze ngaphakathi kuye, kwase kuqalisa umsebenzi wokuzilibazisa okwathi ngokushesha waba uhlanya kwase kuthi ekugcineni waba nokuthatheka okwakuzomholela endleleni yobumnyama azithola ekuyo. Nsuku zonke ngemva kokuphuma kwesikole wayencenga uDylan ukuthi adlale naye, futhi njengoba isikhathi siqhubeka ikhono lakhe lemvelo alithole ladlula elabafowabo futhi waba umholi weqembu elivamile phakathi komndeni wabo.
Lapho i-Destiny 2 iphuma u-Tyler wayeseba amandla okufanele abalwe nawo, igama lakhe lomsebenzisi laziwa kakhulu phakathi kwezinye izizwana futhi esatshwa kumaseva e-PVP, ikhono lakhe lalidlula kude lelo elalimzungezile. Ehamba phambili ekuhlaseleni kwemindeni ngempumelelo washeshe waqashelwa amaligi, izikhulu nezingekho emthethweni. Ngesikhathi kukhishwa amaphakethe amabili okunweba okuqala u-Tyler wayesecele ukujoyina imindeni eyaziwa emhlabeni wonke, imiqhudelwano yemali kanye nezingxoxo ezincane kusekethe yemidlalo njengomdlali omusha we-e-gamer ozowubuka.
Yilapho they wasondela kuye.
Ngesikhathi edlala ngolunye usuku u-Tyler wathola umlayezo kukhompuyutha yakhe ovela kumthumeli ongaziwa, ekuqaleni wayengafuni ukuwuvula, kwaze kwaba yilapho efunda umugqa wokuqala owavela ngaphansi kwesaziso somlayezo… –
Isiphetho Sendaba emfushane ethi Ulahliwe
'Tyler, sibona isithembiso esihle kuwe… sinesithembiso okungafanele usiphendule…'
Yilokho kuphela ayekubona. Okumgqamile nokho wumyalezo ayewubize ngegama lakhe langempela, akukho lapho eke wasebenzisa khona igama lakhe langempela kodwa ngandlela thize lo mthumeli ubelazi. Wafikelwa umcabango wokuthi mhlawumbe lo omunye wabangani bakhe noma babafowabo abadlala ngaye, wabona ukuthi uzohambisana nawo awuvule umlayezo. Umlayezo osele waqhubeka uchaza amakhono akhe okudlala adonse ukunaka kweqembu labantu abacebe kakhulu, abantu ababejabulela ukubukela abadlali bamageyimu kodwa ababenezingozi ezinkulu ezihilelekile... Kanye nalezi zingozi ezicatshangelwayo eziphakeme inkokhelo yemali eyakhiwe. ngayo kumnqobi. Umlayezo uphele nje ngokuthi uma enentshisekelo yokujoyina kwakumele achofoze isixhumanisi, aphume ngokushesha bese elinda eminye imiyalelo. UTyler, engafuni ukubonakala sengathi umlayezo ufikile kuye, wacofa isixhumanisi, waphuma ebusuku futhi akasacabangi lutho ngalokho.
Ngakusasa ekuseni uTyler wavuka ezwa umsindo kamama wakhe ememeza ezansi ezitebhisini, iphakethe lase lifikile kuye elethwe yi-courier yebhayisikili. U-Tyler wehla futhi wabuyisa ukulethwa kwakhe obekungalindelekile ebusweni bakhe obudidekile, ukuthi uvelaphi? UTyler wayivula ukuze athole i-Ps4 entsha sha, ihedisethi entsha sha kanye nekhamera, iLaptop kanye nezinhlobonhlobo zezintambo ezinamathiselwe kulokho okubukeka njengamaphedi anamathelayo kanye nenothi. Inothi lithe ngenxa yokwamukela kwakhe ukubamba iqhaza kwiligi izolo ebusuku ngeke esasebenzisa i-akhawunti yakhe endala, wonke umuntu obambene naye usebenzise i-akhawunti eyabelwe, ihardware ehlinzekwe ngekhamera bekuyimpoqo. Okokugcina, izintambo ezibukeka ngendlela exakile namaphedi anamathelayo kwakuhloselwe ukuqapha izinga lokushaya kwenhliziyo yakhe kubabukeli kanye neziqondiso zokuthi zingasethwa kanjani zilandelwe. I-Laptop kwakungeyokuthi asakaze ukusabela kwakhe bukhoma kubabukeli, lokhu kubuye nemiyalelo. Ngokushesha uTyler waqaphela ukuthi lokhu kwakungewona umgilingwane othile, futhi umqondo wokuthola imali eshisiwe ngomdlalo awuthandayo wamkhanga. Ngaphandle kokucabanga okuningi waqonda ekamelweni lakhe, wavala umnyango futhi wamisa umshini omusha, ikhamera futhi walayisha i-akhawunti entsha. Njengomlayezo, igama le-akhawunti yakhe entsha kwakungu-'Tyler'.
Njengoba lokhu kuyimpelasonto yokukhishwa kwe-Forsaken DLC entsha, u-Tyler wayethemba ukuthi babe nombono ongaphambili wokuyisungula, amathemba akhe aqinisekiswa ngokushesha njengoba ebambelele emdlalweni ne-akhawunti yakhe entsha. Lapho ebheka esikrinini se-laptop wamangala ebona abanye abadlali abambalwa bonke bexhunywe izintambo ezifana nezakhe, ngaphambi kokuba athole isikhathi sokuqonda kahle ukuthi kwenzakalani kwezwakala izwi kumakrofoni.
“He… Hey… ukhona ongizwayo?” Izwi laqala "Hello?" kwaqhubeka.
“Sawubona, ngikhona,” kuphendula uTyler
“Kunjalo lokhu…. Okuhlukile, akunjalo? Angazi kahle ukuthi yini okumele uyicabange okwamanje” Izwi elingaqondakali lephula ukuthula kwesibili.
UTyler wabuka i-laptop ukuze abone umfana obukeka esemncane kwesinye sezikrini ezincane ekhuluma ngesikhathi esifanayo nezwi elingaqondakali.
“Ah, ngiyakubona! Bheka ikhompuyutha yakho ephathekayo” uTyler waphakamisa isandla kukhamera “Yimina lowo!” Umfana wayebonakala ebuka i-laptop yakhe bese emamatheka futhi ehlehlisa.
Emizuzwini engu-20 elandelayo umuntu ngamunye uzethule, ukuthi uvelaphi kanye nekhono lakhe elithile, wonke umuntu wabonakala eqhuba kahle kwaze kwaqhuma uphondo oluphezulu kuwo wonke ama-headphones anqamula izingxoxo zifile. Ekugcineni kwangena izwi elisha engxoxweni, elinye elingenayo ikhamera enamathiselwe.
“Ngiyajabula ukuthi senizazisile nonke, ingxenye elandelayo ayimnandi neze kithina lapho ningakwazi ukubiza igama elishoyo.” Kwaqala ukubonakala ukudideka nokwesaba ebusweni balowo nalowo owayeqhudelana naye
“Njengoba nazi ukuthi umqhudelwano lona kodwa akulona uhlobo lomqhudelwano eniwujwayele, cha, lo uzoba nomzuliswano owodwa kuphela, owinile uthatha yonke. I-Battle Royale yohlobo. Manje, ngingaqondisa ukunaka kwenu ezintanjeni enizinamathisele ngokungaboni… Lezi manje sezibukhoma, noma yimuphi umzamo wokuzisusa, uzophumela ekufeni ngokubanjwa ugesi” ukububula okuthukile kwakugcwele ama-headphone “Thula phansi, uthule. konke kuphephe ngokuphelele, uma ungathinti izintambo. Lokho kunjalo kuze kube yilapho singena kahle emqhudelwaneni... cabanga ngalezi zintambo njengokuqedwa kwakho lapho ubulawa emdlalweni. Kunjalo, ukushona komdlalo KUZOholela ekufeni kwakho kwangempela…” Abaqhudelana nabo baqala ukubhikisha, abanye bekhala abanye bememeza, izwi lomethuli wezinhlelo lathula ngenkathi isiyaluyalu siphakama.
Njengoba ukumemeza kuqhubeka nokumemeza okunqamule ezindlebeni kunqamule umsindo, uTyler wayengaqiniseki kahle ukuthi kwakwenzekani waze wabheka ikhompuyutha yakhe ephathekayo futhi wabona omunye wabaqhudelana naye edlikizeka ngaleso sikhathi...lutho, nomnyakazo.
“Kuhlale kukhona unyaka nonyaka” Umethuli wohlelo waqala “Othile uhlale ebuza ukuthi ukucushwa kukagesi kuyihlaya… Njengoba nonke seningasho manje, siyingozi enkulu. Ngaphandle kokuchitha isikhathi, Siyakwamukela kuSizini 4… Vumela umqhudelwano uqalise!” Umsindo omncane wabantu abajabulayo nomculo ubuzwakala ngemuva kumakrofoni yosokhaya.
Bonke Abangenele umncintiswano balayishwe endaweni yokwamukela izivakashi…kwasala oyedwa kuphela…
Sekuyiminyaka engaphezudlwana nje kwemibili kusukela kulowo mqhudelwano wokuqala onezinhlekelele zikaTyler, ngibonga yena ukuthi wayengcono kakhulu ngalolo suku, kanye nemiqhudelwano elandelayo ngemva kwalokho empeleni. Amakhono akhe adumile ngempela, kangangokuthi umsingathi nezibukeli zakhe ezicebile ziyamsebenzisa kumageyimu wangempela ukuze ahehe abaqhudelanayo abasha ukuthi bajoyine iqembu lakhe, futhi uma bezibonisa ukuthi nabo bathola ibhokisi lokungenayo eliyimfihlakalo elenzelwe bona uqobo.
Ngakho-ke, khumbula le ndaba ngokuzayo uma udlala umdlalo othile ku-inthanethi futhi uhlangane nesimemo esisha somndeni, akadlali nje i-Destiny oyaziyo... Bandise uhla lwegeyimu yakhe kodwa isikhathi ngasinye imindeni iyafana, Ngakho-ke qaphela. kwe...
