Chapter 1; The Game That Would Change My Life
13th of May was just another day like any other for Sam Chalk until he walked by the Game shop named Out of the Zone, a shop he has walked pasted for the past 6 years on his way to school and back home but on this day he went. The shop owner Chloe welcomed him and informed Sam he was the 500th customers to walk in to the shop and had won the newest D and D game called a hero’s rise or fall which was the collector’s edition which came in a bright red back and light blue box on front with writing "do think you have what it takes to change the world around you, to help or destroy what you see fit in the world of millfull". Just as Chloe was going to handed Sam the box he asks if he could use the shops toilet as Sam had just finished his can of drink and needed to pee.
One could say out of all the shops Sam could of have picked to go in, he picked out of the zone which was next to coffee shop called half cup or full cup which Sam always used to go to the toilet plus this was where all the children Sam’s age would go to after school, Sam who was not the coolest of children would not be invited but he liked to go there to feel like he was but on this day the coffee shop had a sorry we are closed sign but back to the story as Sam had finished using the toilet, Chloe smiled and congratulated him on his win of this game and that all the children was playing this game also would be jealous of his collector’s edition of a hero’s rise or fell which included a printed figure of the main character who was also on the front of the box in his silver and bronze armour with a sword and shield.
As Sam thanked Chloe for this prize he through about whom he could invite to play this game with but also didn’t know any of his small amounts of friends who played D and D. So Sam left the shop and walked down the same street he always walked down then took a left and his house was 3rd to the end in a green coloured house which always stands out as of 2 years ago as there was another house which was a different type of green but with the new owners printed in to fit with the rest of the street which was mainly reds, whites, blues and some yellow homes. As Sam was walking to his home, his mum who was always leaving for work by the time he gets home from school, who normally asks how school was asked a different question on this day, "where you get that from Sam".
Sam answered to his mum "I walked in to the shop out of the zone to use their toilet and I was the 500th customer and won it" his mum smiled and said "that’s nice you have fun and tea is in the oven and don’t stay up to late as you have school tomorrow". He said "ok mum", Sam whom at this point was now used to the fact of him having the house to himself as his mum had work till he goes to sleep. Sam who has a normal retinue of eating his tea and finishing his homework but who would now watched TV, he looked at the game he had win and read the back of the box which read "on this day Gilbert the knight is on his way to the hero’s try out at the city of stones hero’s academy to join a new group of other hero’s trying out on a new adventure, you will help Gilbert to rise or fall as a hero all based on what you want to do and the roll of the dice".
As Sam finished reading the box he could not wait to play this game but now only need others to play the game with him and needing a DM who read the advance for Hero’s rise or fall collection edition had a special book to play called "making a difference in the world of millfull after the war of the last Hero’s" Sam could not wait to read and play this. Sam opened the box and looked at the printed figure in his silver and bronze armour and sword and shield, Sam said "Hi Gilbert" to the figure and the opened the first Map which was involved with the game which was part of the city of stone Hero academy which was a nice printed main building which was the Hero academy which had many different rooms with beds and other fixings but what caught Sam’s eye was the armour in each of the rooms he wanted this armour it was gold with a blue cape. Other part was the hero academy training site.
Something Sam didn’t see as he opened the box was a note that fell out as Sam looked down he saw it and read it ‘to whom it may concern this game was the first to be made and is very special and good luck in your advance also look after Gilbert he really wants to make a difference to the world signed Paul Goodwin at the bottom’ which Sam find intending but he was like someone really got in this game world. So Sam was setting up the game with the figure and put him on the board but as he done this he got dizzy and he closed his eye as he opened his eyes Sam was no longer in his room, he was in someone room which had a poster with bright colours about the city of stones Hero try outs and next it to was armour which was sliver and bronze’s as Sam was looking around the room.
A tall ish Male with brown short Hair who was dressed in a towel who from the looks of it had just had a wash but as he looked down he saw Sam ‘you would think of finding someone in your room who was not there just 10 minifies ago would be like mad or asked what was going on’ but instead as he looked down he smiled and said " a new adventurer it has been so long time from last one, who was a child about your age who was called Paul [with a small tear] I miss him, my name is Gilbert Erail what’s your name" as Sam was still thinking what is going on in his head he said quite "my name is Sam what is going on and where am I?."
Gilbert said "well to where are you is in my room at the dragon slayer inn in the city of stone which is part of Half mountain lands of Creta, to answer to what is going to is your start of an advance which will change your life" after hearing this Sam he smile and as he said "what type of advance?" his eye open wide. Gilbert who by this time had gone to a different part of his room with talking to Sam had just finished putting his armour on and said ‘well first we have to go to the Hero try outs and go from there.
As Sam look at Gilbert as he walked out of the other part of his room he saw the silver and bronze armour with the his weapons with that Sam looked down like, Gilbert seeing this with a joyfully voice said "Yes you get a weapon too" and handing a nicely crafted dagger and with that said put this on it was an outfit for squire which had a crest of a snake rapping around a sword with a black back ground and the shield which was red the other part of the outfit was all blue . Sam walked in to the other room and put this on also asked who crest is this, Gilbert replied it’s the crest of the house of the Adara family the house I am a knight and service.
With that Gilbert and Sam left the room but as Sam was just getting out the room he asked "will my stuff be safe" Gilbert replied "it will be safe and we should go or we will be late for the try out" and with that he locked the door. As they walked out of the dragon slayer inn Gilbert looked at Sam and said "you will be a squire of the house of Adara and are my squire trust me this will be fun" Sam looked back at Gilbert and asked ‘how do I become a knight like you?’
By this time Gilbert and his new squire Sam had made it to the hall of the Hero academy and was welcome by a woman in long blond hair in her mid-20s with a happy voice said "Hi there my name is Sarah and I am the apprentice of the hero academy welcome, are you here for the Hero try outs we are just about to start you just made it please fill out this form and go to the main hall I will show you", Gilbert takes the forum and fills it out as he is doing so asks Sam "what is the name of your family" Sam having to think what Gilbert meant by his question and says out loud my second name is Chalk’.
Gilbert finishes the form and hands over the form as he does so the young lady looks at him with a unhappy look and says "how do you not know the name of your squire", Gilbert looked back at her and informed her that Sam was his new squire and only just meet only but half hour ago and that was the end of that by this time they have got to the main hall.
