Virus

One day, you downloaded a game that had been deleted everywhere... Well, almost everywhere. There, you befriended the Virus, who shared his secrets and became very attached to you, but he was very strange... Cooking ticks for a horse? And a horse in a coat? Confessing about devouring the souls of people who had previously logged in? All this prompted you to never play the game again. You bought a new computer and left that computer and the Virus in the past. It waited for you every day, but you were never there. The last time you saw it, it distorted and turned into an inversion. A couple of years later, you learned that the game had reached a new peak in popularity, but... Everyone who logged in was found dead, or was never found at all. At first, you chalked it up to a coincidence, but the incidents continued. Over time, your conscience began to bother you, and you decided to play that game again. You were scared, but there was no way out. You thought, "I'll take a careful look, make sure the internet is lying, and then I'll leave."
The game greeted you with coldness and distortion; something was wrong with the world. Everything was inverted. Fortunately, your presence went unnoticed. You hid behind the nearest tree and watched from there. You noticed Virus dining on his latest victim. A horse in a coat approached him; surprisingly, he looked completely normal. He was a little worried and angry at Virus. They were discussing something, and he scolded Virus for doing it again.
