Middle is missing

"Invoker is missing"

Does it matter?

Is it just a way to blame someone for your lack of attention?

There is something called the mini map. It is where every member of the team can see what is going on in the map. Technically, if anyone is missing from their lanes, we could all tell, if we are paying attention. 

Of course, it would be best if your teammate at that lane would tell you that someone is missing since he would know best. However, does it really matter if he doesn't? 


Ya, so Invoker killed my teammate, but on the bright side, I am finally get more free space to earn experience! It is not like my teammate won't respawn... 

But... What if I actually called "missing middle"? Bane would have known about the danger that might be coming and he would have hidden behind our combat towers, rendering Invoker's surprise ambush useless and on top of that, I would still have gotten free space to earn experience!

Oh my... What have I done... 

Communication is oh so important. If only I said the three simple words, things would have gone different. My teammates would have thanked me instead of thrashing me. We would have greater trust for each other, or even build a stronger bond...


"I am sorry, Bane, I should have reported missing"

I responded with an apology. 

YEAH RIGHT. NOBODY EVER APOLOGISES IN AN ONLINE GAME!

As I continued to earn valuable experience at middle lane, I heard a faint sound approaching me. 

A pink coloured missile-like ball of vengeance flew right into my face.

Suddenly, I saw stars, I couldn't move, I was so dazed I forgot my own name.


"Magic missile"
 -Vengeful Spirit 

Before I could regain my consciousness, I saw a thick layer of ice forming from my feet up to my neck, it was so cold and I could not move an inch. It felt like frost bite but only a thousand times worst. Right next to Vengeful Spirit was Crystal Maiden, the girl of my dreams... but also my worst enemy... 


Within seconds, I was destroyed. 

I was furious as to why did nobody report missing from top and bottom lane!
The irony..

Then I looked at the chat and I saw....

"Top is missing!"
"Bottom is missing!" (posted 2mins ago)

... I am such a noob...

The middle lane - The history of the ancient.

The place you wouldn't want to be

The weight of the world lies in your hand.

Although you are alone, people will be screaming in your face.



Time to make history

All knowledge and intelligence start from one place - the brain as we know it. However, I would rather call it the fountain of knowledge. This is a place where you have to continuously revisit in order to find what is most valuable to you. However, staying in the fountain is useless, as you need to go out into the world to gather knowledge.

We are all born in the fountain of knowledge, and in my world, 10 people can appear at a time, 5 friends and 5 foes. This was never possible, at least not before the invention of the Internet, which allowed these 10 people to be connected globally. 

I am sure you have been to Orchard road, Arab street, or Chinatown. But may I ask you, "Have you been to the middle lane?" 

Have you ever felt so important the weight of the world rests on your shoulders?

I walked down the middle lane, the air was cold, but my heart was fiery. Determined to combat whoever I am going to meet when I reach the river. I had all my plans and strategies mapped out inside my head, I was confident that I was going to earn more experience than my enemy.

I was wrong. 

While I use a spade to attack, my enemy was able to shoot orbs at me. I could not get closed to him or his minions. My minions vanished in split seconds. The whole time, I was waiting for my back up minions to arrive while staying far behind to watch them fall and my enemy killing them to earn combat experience. 

Although I could learn from watching him fight, it can never be replaced to the amount one can learn during combat. 

Hence, I had to painfully watch his head glow, indicating an increase in level, while mine will only glow much later. I was helpless.

I can still remember vividly that his eyes were white and his always had three flying orbs floating around him. Hmm... What was his name...


"Glorious invocation!"

Suddenly, he disappeared, for whatever reason, the middle lane was left to me and me alone. I took this opportunity to step forward and started killing his minions, earning both experience and money. I was finally growing, but...

"Ahhh.. First blood, as indeed I am first in everything!"

Yes... my enemy has traveled to another lane and surprised my teammates, killing them with ease. 

"Middle missing never report?!"
"What on earth is our middle lane doing"
"**** you, useless middle"
"People middle level 6, you middle level 3, well played"
"$#$@$^%$&^%#"

and so on...

My teammates have gone rampage on me not telling them that the Invoker was missing. Ahh... His name was Invoker. 

Right at this point, I hit level 3. As you may have heard by now, when I reach level 3, I duplicate. 

It's time for some fun.

My name is Meepo.
