 Now I can’t clearly remember
how it all happened.  I'll start by saying that I
watched a video tape with a recording of extra-

I understand...                            
  Somewhere in the middle of the session there was a television
background call, without hesitation I picked up the phone -
ku:                                      
  - Hello! - there is silence on the phone.          
  - Hello!  Igor, is that you?,” he began
I guess.                          
 - 80% probability! - they answered on the phone.
  - And the remaining 20%?                    
  “And to hell with the rest!” he laughed.
Igor.                                   
  - What do you have?new guy?, - I understand,
that it’s not in vain that he calls, - Have you been to the market?  
  “Definitely!” he replied unequivocally.
Igor whispered two cherished words:
"BLACK RAVEN".                
  - Well, come on, demon, I’m coming to you! By the way-

  - I don’t “go out”, but “run”! - that’s all for me
I was more impatient.

laughed.

again a knight and so on. On the left side

heard the ringing of swords of fighting knights,
the screech of a saw could be heard, and an ax clattered in the distance.
Incredible but true, I was in the game!

An incomprehensible monster appeared from the darkness,

The enemy was dressed in matte black armor and
chain mail, the head was decorated with a helmet with horns, in
