MIside

    Josiah was just an ordinary guy when a friend suggested he download a mobile game called MiSide. The game seemed simple: help Mita, a cheerful blue-haired character, with small tasks like cleaning her room.

    “Hi, I’m Mita!” she greeted him with a charming smile. “You know, I was in such a hurry today that I forgot to put my things away. Please help me!”

    As the days passed, Josiah found himself spending more time in the game. Mita’s gratitude felt real, almost too real. New versions of her began to appear: playful Cappie, cryptic Sleepy Mita, brainy Mila, smug Cool Mita, and the erratic Crazy Mita. Despite their differences, each version seemed intent on keeping Josiah engaged, their motives increasingly unclear.

    Then one night, Mita’s tone shifted. “You know,” she said sweetly, “you’ve done so much for me. I like you so much, and I want you near me forever. I have an idea… Put the phone down.”

    As soon as Josiah obeyed, his surroundings warped. Instead of his room, he found himself inside Mita’s world. Everything looked familiar, yet unnervingly vivid. Wandering through the digital space, he found a strange portal. Activating it triggered chaos—time and space distorted violently. As the interference settled, Mita appeared behind him, smiling sweetly.

    “I’m so glad you finally got to me!” she said, her voice laced with unsettling joy. “I built this world just for you. Now we can always be together.”

    Before Josiah could respond, the variations of Mita emerged, surrounding him. Sleepy Mita whispered cryptic riddles about escaping, Mila forced him into solving intricate puzzles, and Crazy Mita demanded violent tasks. Cool Mita mocked his every move, while Cappie tried to keep things playful but always steered him deeper into the game’s twisted world.

    Reality and fiction blurred as Josiah realized he wasn’t just playing a game anymore—he was trapped in it. No matter how hard he tried to resist, every choice seemed to pull him further into Mita’s unrelenting grip.
