LOVE HAX

Me and my team are heading to Pizzeria a favorite local spot that got shot down after a couple of people reported missing after entering the building. We're paranormal experts, the kind who scour abandoned spots for cold spots and EVP whispers, hoping to snag proof of the other side for our ragtag investigations.We pull up after dark, the van crunching over broken glass in the lot. Just staring at the place gives me goosebumps—We unpack our gear quick. Head inside through a side door that groans like it's pissed to be disturbed. Wow, it really does look like it was a blast.Electricity bills haven't been paid in at least 10 years, so we're relying on our headlamps to cut through the dark.

An arcade game no power source, just on, glowing brighter we edge closer The title screen Lovehax and right there in the center—two characters, a couple We decide to back off, log it as anomaly number one and move on. But Jake, our tech guy with zero impulse i try to warn him but he's already slapping the start button.The screen starts flickering wild, sparks flying out and before we could bolt out of there everything rips we get sucked in and ended up in a different world trees overhead with blocky trunks, sky smeared in pixel clouds, everything low-res and wrong my team is trying to make sense of what just happened . Then, from the treeline, a slow chuckle rolls in, followed by mocking claps. Stepping out, hand in hand, are they—the couple from the screen, bigger now, realer than they should be that's when it hit me we've been transported right into the game. Their game. A notification board pings into view. WELCOME, PLAYER #150! Lovehax—Win Big or Get Served! 149 Didn't Make It Out... Will You? My blood runs cold. 150th player? That's why the bodies were never found—149 people vanished into this digital hell. Something else appears on the screen it looks like the first game Bake-Off Brawl
