The Amazing Joni's
CHAPTER 2: TWO

My name is Joni, I was born in 2034 and I am an only child. Now, I'm 16, I'm an X class student at one of the high schools. I loved my days at school, it was all fun. All the lessons in school I like, no exception mathematics. My teachers, my friends, everything was fun. For a teenager of my age, I was a mediocre teenager. I have black hair and straight, mature brown skin typical of Southeast Asia. I like new things, whatever they are. The one thing I always carry around is gadgets, loans from school. Even though I have one at home. Through it I can find out everything in the world, including looking for lost neighbors cats and rabbits. My mom used to use it to find new recipes. My dad used it to ease the work at the office. My name is Joni, I love technology and I hate corruptors.

My room is simple, in my time. Just like most other teenage rooms. The window of my room is bright green, on the wall there is one calendar year 2050 with the theme Corruption Graft with a picture of a mouse who was snacking on money. I hate that rat. In another part, there was a study table, there was a not-so-so-so-softer mattress, a wardrobe, there was a blue carpet lying on the floor of the room, and there was a bookcase with three symmetrical shelves. The bottom bookcase is full of books in the genre of travel, travel. The bookcase in the middle is a general book, How to?, motivational books, and books about the world of technology. The top bookshelf is filled with books belonging to father, the bookcase in his room is over capacity. I have a PC that I rarely use. Look, it's full of dust. I like the personal gadgets I have. I can communicate with friends, read books, browse, listen to music, play games with a high definition quality screen. My room is cooler than the outside, because my dad just bought the most up-to-date tech air conditioner.

I also have a Japanese game console in 2020. It belonged to my father as a child, still works well. If the free time in one month, my father often invites me to play together, football games. The image quality is impressive, the faces of the players on the field in the game are hard to distinguish from the real world originals. Even if the one playing the game is more deft, the player in that game can have better skills than the original. One of the most popular features of this game is that the owner of the game can use his own face as an avatar. But before that they had to record the structure of the face just by using a webcam. The rest, this game console can take care of itself.

At that time, game consoles with such sophistication were actually considered outdated games. The latest game console that is most in demand is Video Game 10 V.1, a Southeast Asian country game console. This game console is coming in 2021, continues to grow with various feature improvements until the tenth series is now. However, there is one drawback to this game console, the console engine is too much electricity drain. If one house has a power generator engine independently and this game console is turned on, then other equipment will not be able to be turned on, the fuse will be automatic to the off button. The easier language is that this game uses a very large electrical capacity. That is why the company that produced this console pinned the V.1 on the end of their game console name. The game console still needs to be updated, refinement in the system of absorption and distribution of electrical energy.

The owners of this game console are mostly online game service providers such as internet cafes and so on. Because it is not capable of being used in conjunction with home electricity, they do specialize in the use of electricity only on this game console. Although it feels heavy and difficult, this game is almost certainly in every city. Fans are willing to queue for hours just to play a simple game.

What is Video Game 10 V.1? This game console from Southeast Asia has amazing features, players can go directly into the game. Using his own body, his own blood, and his own life. Dangerous? Sure oes. Players can be attacked at any time in the game and do not have time to press the start button. This game is equipped with a continuous countdown facility of nine as many as three times. If the player does not hit the start or log out of the game, they will directly over the game along with the loss of their own life.

Challenges and violent protests from outside countries are increasingly coming. They assume this is in violation of Human Rights, will be discussed at the UN session. The game is too risky. The country that makes the game console as if it does not care, they continue to try to perfect various features. Among them are the addition of continuous facilities and reduced electrical load, so that the game can be played at home without worrying about making the fuse explode.

“Joni!” There was a sound calling from behind.

Joni looked back, she was walking down the aisle next to the school, now a time of rest. A person with almost the same stature as her, walked leisurely towards her. Joni just got out of the school cafeteria.

“What's up, Deni?” I asked.

“Ehm.” Deni covered his mouth with a grasp, preparing for the best sound. “You've heard about the latest game console? They will release it today.” Deni clenched his hands, he was very excited.

I looked at Deni, silent as a child.

“Yes, of course I know. Look, no new product in this country related to gaming escaped my attention. What you mean is Video Game (VG) 10 V.2, right?” I smiled pretentiously, nyegir.

“Lantas, what do you want from me? You want to take me to play that game? Honestly, Den. I actually feel sorry for the online gaming service providers, they are like burdened with electricity bill costs. Even though they now use electricity at the cost of pulses. You remember, right? When we went there last week, Om the owner of the game console was willing to overheat without air conditioning because the electricity was not able just because it wanted to provide a game service that I thought was no longer attractive. His wife was angry too. Of course, I feel disturbed.” The look on my face looks regretful, and at the same time annoyed.

Deni nodded, stunned. Thas right. It is natural that other countries protest loudly.

“Well, what are the latest features they offer?” Deni asked.

“Energy usage load saving, added with more continue feature to make games safer and less harmful.” Joni explained, he already knew very well with the revised edition of the game console. I answered while walking, followed by Deni at the back. We looked for an empty bench on the front porch of the classroom.

“As much as they add the continue feature, it's still dangerous, Jon. What if the feature runs out to zero? While they still want to continue, press the start.” button Deni and Joni were already on a long bench.

“I think they also created a layered warning code about pressing the start button, Den.” I'm hopeful.

“And I guess, we also need to know all those new features. They released it today.” Deni looked, he smiled.

I turned back. Know it?

“We will try it, Sunday later.” Deni answered Joni's confusion, smiling.

The atmosphere of the school hours of rest is full of frenzy. The school was full of students playing basketball. Some just sat watching beside the field. In another part, there was the sound of the students' jokes, they were laughing, joking. The school is large, there are many buildings in the complex. The main building is two-storied, with light yellow paint. On the back is a cafeteria. It is good to comfort the stomach of the students during the break.

The atmosphere is back. The entrance bell for the next lesson is already ringing. Students return to the classroom to attend lessons.

Deni and I are some of the high school students who love video games, they always play them on vacation. Refreshing routine every weekend. Not many know, the game we will play later on, will take us both to a new adventure.
