Chapter 3
"Because I was once a human and now I'm forever trapped in this world."
Chan was shocked at Jihyo's statement. Before Chan could react, two players suddenly appeared riding a surfboard.
"Seems like someone's having a serious conversation." Jake said whose with a girl "By the way, she's Lucy."
"Sorry to interrupt you guys but Mr. Policeman wants to see the newbie." The girl named Lucy said
"Ah okay." Jihyo agreed once she understand "Chan you should go with them."
"For what?" Chan asked "We already talked a while ago."
"It's the head police this time." Lucy answered
"You will know once we get there." Jake added
"Do you already have a surfboard?" Lucy asked Chan
"Yes." Chan replied "But I don't know how to use it yet. I just know how to make it appear as to what Jihyo teaches me."
"Yeah. Just like snapping and thinking of your surfboard to make it appear, you must concentrate and control it by your mind to use it and fly." Lucy explained
"I'll try." Chan was nervous
"You must. Because that's what will be using to the head police." Jake said
"So let's go?" Lucy asked as the two boys nodded
Jake and Lucy was already riding their surfboard as they wait to Chan. Chan just focused and concentrate his balance.
"Don't be nervous." Jake chuckled
"I'm trying." Chan replied as he successfully controlled his balance
"Okay. Be careful. Bye for now Jihyo!"
The two already flew while Chan is slowly following them because of having a hard time controlling his balance while flying.
"Just trust yourself Chan!" he heard Jihyo shout who's already feet away below from him
He look at her direction and smiled which made him almost lose his balance making Jihyo chuckled. He sighed and try again.

"Finally we're here!" Chan exclaimed when they're already in front of the door of the head police. It was located at the very top of the city.
"We should go." Jake waved goodbye and so with Lucy
"Wait, you're leaving me?" Chan exchanges glances with Jake and Lucy
"Mr. Policeman wants to talk to you alone and not with us." Lucy answered as they quickly flew as if they were having a race
"O-okay?" Chan faced the door and began knocking
But before his hand land the door, it automatically open for him to enter.
"Come inside!" the bearded man inside the room said
Chan politely followed and sat on the designated seat in front the table of the police waiting for the words of the old man.
"Since you are now a player, I want you to sign this and practice later for your first game tomorrow." The man handed Chan the paper
"B-but.." the head police looked at him as he gulped and continue "The police man said to me a while ago that I'm not totally a player. I can escape."
"Can you do the only way to escape?"

"I need 24,000 more to buy that character. It costs 95,000 coins!" Jisung exclaimed as Changbin yawned
"Just play it tomorrow." Changbin said as his back faced Jisung
Jisung pouted "But Chan hyung is trapped inside."
"Will he be saved if you buy that character? And we're not sure if he's really trapped like what? You're just sleepy." Changbin left Jisung in the living room
Jisung make face as he continue to play to earn money so that he can buy the said character.

"You ready?" Jihyo asked Chan "Aish! Don't be nervous. You will just practice for the game tomorrow." She said as she hold Chan's trembling hands
"I-I can't. I want to go back but.." Chan paused
"Then let's have a race."
"Huh?"
"Beat me in the race. Kill me."
"What? Are you serious? No, I won't! I will find another way to go out."
"There's none!" Jihyo shouted, tears forming in her eyes "I'm stuck here for seven years and I'm tired playing for almost half of my life. I wanna die."
Chan looked at Jihyo with pity. He hold Jihyo's chin and raised her head and said "I'll find a way for us to escape this world together."
