| |  | The Darkmaster's Challenge Chiller 29 (page 1 of 4) |
I kept glancing at the clock while I played my Mazecrawler game on
the computer. Maybe Randy forgot that he was supposed to come over
with a brand new game. Or maybe he was just late, like usual.
I was thinking about calling when I heard my Mom holler, "Dennis,
Randy's here." A second later he came blazing into my bedroom and
whipped off his backpack. "Check this out," he said, taking a package
out of the pack.
"'Realm of the Darkmaster,'" I read off the cover, "I've never even
heard of this one."
"Me neither. But I found this really neat little store over on Sixth
street and the guy in charge told me that this was the coolest game
ever made! It's the test version, so he gave it to me free! C'mon,
let's play!"
Randy is in sixth grade with me and he's probably the number one
computer freak in the school. If anyone could find the coolest
computer game in the world, it would be him. I popped the disk into my
CD ROM drive and waited for it to install. But instead the screen went
completely black. Then a face slowly began to appear on it.
The face was thin, pale and completely hairless not even eyebrows
and the way it seemed to be looking right at me gave me the willies.
"I am the Darkmaster," the face said, "and I challenge you to enter
to my realm, if you dare. Click on the green shield and you will be
taken on an amazing adventure, but beware: there is only one way out.
Are you smart enough and brave enough to discover the secret?" The
face then started to laugh, which made the hairs on my neck stand up.
I was about to suggest playing something else when Randy clicked on
the green shield icon.
