Chapter 1: Lucky Draw — Game Starts Now
It was evening…
The school bell had already rung.
The classroom was empty… the walls were silent… even the benches looked tired.
And sitting there—
Anchu.
A simple school boy…
but his thinking? Not simple at all.
He saw life as a game.
And the truth was—he was bored of this game.
---
Every day the same faces…
the same roads…
the same conversations…
Like a level repeating again and again.
---
Anchu stared out the window…
"Is this all there is…?"
he thought quietly.
---
But he was different—
👉 A risk-taker
👉 Cool-minded
👉 Always searching for something new
He wanted change…
something unpredictable… something real.
---
Then one day—
While scrolling on his phone, his eyes stopped.
"International Writing Competition — Win a Trip to Japan 🇯🇵 (Family Included)"
---
He smirked slightly.
"Interesting…"
---
This wasn't just a simple lucky draw.
👉 It was a writing competition
👉 He had to write a novel
👉 And the winner would go to Japan with their family
---
Without telling anyone…
👉 He stayed up all night writing
👉 He wrote from his heart
👉 And submitted it
Then…
He forgot about it.
---
He didn't even tell his family.
Because…
he didn't believe anything would actually happen.
---
Then one night—
11:47 PM
His phone screen lit up in the dark.
"Congratulations! You are selected."
---
For a few seconds—
time stopped.
---
His heart was beating fast…
but his mind was completely calm.
---
Anchu whispered softly—
"Game starts…"
---
The next day…
Outside the school.
---
Crowd… noise… normal life…
But then—
"Anchu?"
---
He turned.
A man in a black suit stood there.
Calm face… sharp eyes.
---
"Congratulations."
He handed Anchu an envelope.
---
"Your journey begins now."
---
Anchu took the envelope…
and asked lightly—
"Japan…?"
---
The man stepped closer…
and said quietly—
"Japan is just the destination…"
---
Then one word—
"Survival."
---
And he walked away.
Vanishing into the crowd…
as if he was never there.
---
Anchu stood there…
alone…
but inside—
🔥 excitement
🔥 curiosity
🔥 and a strange thrill
---
🏠 At Home…
Everything was normal—
Mom in the kitchen…
Dad watching TV…
---
"Mom… Dad… look at this."
Anchu placed the envelope on the table.
---
"What is this?" Dad asked.
"Open it…" Anchu said calmly.
---
The envelope opened—
👉 Flight tickets
👉 Documents
Destination: Tokyo, Japan
Family Trip — Fully Sponsored
---
For a moment—
silence filled the house.
---
"Is this a joke?" Mom said.
"Looks fake…" Dad frowned.
---
Anchu said nothing.
He simply took out his phone… and made a call.
---
"Hello sir… please talk to my parents."
---
He handed the phone to his dad.
---
At first—doubt…
then questions…
then silence…
---
Dad checked everything…
searched online… verified details…
---
After 10 minutes—
his voice had changed.
---
"This… is real."
---
Mom's eyes widened—
"Really…?"
---
The atmosphere changed instantly—
👉 Shock
👉 Excitement
👉 And a little fear
---
Dad looked at Anchu—
"Why didn't you tell us before?"
---
Anchu smiled slightly—
"Because… surprises are more fun."
---
Everyone was happy…
But Anchu—
stood near the window.
---
Looking at the sky…
he whispered—
"Let's see… where this game takes me…"
---
He didn't know yet—
this wasn't just a trip…
---
This was a game…
where even the rules were hidden…
and so were the player
