(A CineProse-Style Episode of Dank Ink Chronicles)
Kai Morgan was just trying to enjoy his evening.
Feet kicked up. Blunt lit. Mind at peace.
Until Zaire peeked his head around the corner with that look—the one that meant trouble.
Kai: "Wat sup kiddo?"
Zaire bounced on the balls of his feet, energy at MAX LEVELS. "Dad, wanna game?"
Kai squinted. "That depends. What game?"
Across the room, Hunter was already booting up the console, smirking.
"The game that’s gonna humble you."
Kai arched a brow. "Oh, word? Y’all really think I can’t hang?"
Zaire nodded, dead serious. "We don’t think—we know."
Kai took another drag, exhaled slow, and sat forward. "Bet. Let’s go."
The match started. Kai’s confidence was high.
Way too high.
Characters dropped onto the battlefield. Hunter and Zaire moved like seasoned assassins—fast, efficient, already looting.
Kai? Spinning in circles.
Kai: "Uh… where’s my gun?"
Zaire: "Dad… you don’t know how to sprint?"
Kai frowned, pressing random buttons. "I am sprintin’."
Hunter cackled. "Man’s moving like a grandpa crossin’ the street."
Kai looked down to glance at his controls.
?? BANG. Sniper shot. Kai was down instantly.
ChaotIQ flickered onto the screen, mock AI announcer mode activated.
?? "Eliminated: Player ‘DadWithNoSkills’ – 0 Kills."
Kai squinted. "Ain’t no way y’all named my profile that."

Hunter grinned. "You gotta earn a better name."
Kai sighed, watching his screen fade to black. "Damn."
Next match. Kai was getting the hang of things.
Then Hunter’s loot goblin instincts kicked in.
They had just cleared a squad. Weapons, shields, and health packs everywhere.
Kai, low on health, reached for a medkit—only for Hunter to snatch it first.
Kai blinked. "Bro. I need that."
Hunter, unbothered, popped the medkit. "Finders keepers."
Before Kai could argue, an enemy squad pulled up.
Hunter, still healing, didn’t even have his gun out.
?? BANG. Hunter was eliminated on sight.
ChaotIQ flickered again.
?? "Player ‘LootGremlin12’ has been knocked. Cause of death: Greed."
Kai shook his head, reviving him. "See what happens when you’re selfish?"
Hunter groaned. "Okay, lesson learned."
Zaire snorted. "Doubt it."
Things were going smooth—until Zaire got too hype.
Top five teams left. Stakes were high.
Kai, finally locked in, focused.
Then—
"I’M ‘BOUT TO MAKE HISTORY!"
Zaire rushed in alone.
Hunter and Kai: "ZAIRE, NO—"
Too late. Mid-air, guns blazing like an action movie hero.
?? BANG. Sniped before he even hit the ground.
ChaotIQ updated the board.
?? "Player ‘ZaireTheMenace’ has been eliminated. Cause of death: Excessive confidence."
Kai facepalmed. "Why are you like this?"
Zaire groaned. "Man, I almost had ‘em!"
Hunter: "No. No, you didn’t."
Zaire sighed. "Okay, maybe not. But I felt like I did."
Kai shook his head. "Boy, we supposed to be playin’ tactical."
Zaire crossed his arms. "I was tactical."
Hunter: "Tactical self-destruction."
Last match.
One final chance to redeem themselves.
The squad was locked in.
Hunter scouted.
Zaire controlled the high ground.
Kai? Fully in sync.
Final fight. Three enemies left.
Then—
?? BAM. Hunter got knocked.
Hunter: "Kai! Revive me!"
Kai, dodging bullets, slid behind cover. "Zaire—distract ‘em!"
Zaire, moving like an Energizer Bunny, started wall running and jumping like an anime character.
Enemy team: Confused as hell.
Kai got Hunter back up.
Hunter dropped Kai a shield boost. "Go go go!"
Kai, fully healed, pushed forward.
?? One knock.
?? Two knock.
Then—his clip ran dry.
Kai: "Aw, man."
Zaire: "You out? NO WAY."
Kai scrambled to reload. The last enemy rushed him.
Hunter: "Punch him! Hit him! Do something!"
Kai swung blind—accidentally pistol-whipping the last guy straight to the lobby.
?? VICTORY SCREEN.
ChaotIQ announced the results.
?? "Winner: Team ‘KaiCarries’ – MVP: DadWithNoSkills."
Kai blinked. "Ain’t no way that actually worked."
Zaire fist-bumped him. "Okay, you kinda clutched."
Hunter sighed. "Barely."
Kai kicked his feet up, smirking. "Moral of the story? I carried."
Hunter and Zaire groaned in unison. "Oh my God."
