How is it going, everyone? Today we have a story time of a
Roblox kid who almost burns down his entire neighborhood because
he's trying to recreate ultimate fire simulator from Roblox in
real life. This kid is absolutely crazy.
I know you'll like the story. So leave a like right now to
glam your free nothing. Subscribe to the channel if
you're new and like stories. And with that being said, let's
just jump right into it. So we're going to call the
subscriber who submitted the story, Sam.
This all happened to Sam last summer.
And he lived in kind of a quiet suburban neighborhood.
Everyone kind of knew each other.
It was pretty, you know, close knit, tight knit, you know,
they're close to each other. And, you know, he was just
trying to enjoy his summer, you know, backyard barbecues, walks
with his dogs or anything like that, right?
And this all changed one day when this kid, when this family,
including this kid, this Roblox kid who all called Ben, moved in
next door. So the Roblox kid, Ben was about
12 years old. And right off the bat, it was
something where the subscriber, Sam, you know, he was 13.
So he was roughly the age of Ben.
And, you know, he knew all the other kids in the neighborhood.
It's not like he was best friends with everyone, but
everyone kind of knew everyone. Sometimes I'd have bigger group
Hangouts and, you know, since the new kids moving in next
door, he wanted to be nice. He wanted to be the kid who was,
you know, inviting and reached out to him because, yeah, it
really is something difficult when you're moving into a new
place. Everyone else there probably
already has those tight knit relationships and it can be
sometimes challenging to find a way to fit in.
So that was something that Sam was totally aware of and he made
quite a few efforts to go, you know, hang out with Ben.
Basically, Sam's mom got in contact, walked over the very
first day that they were moving in, exchanged contacts with
Ben's mom and Ben's parents, I should say both of them.
And it was something where, you know, they were, you know, they,
they would communicate a lot. They'd be in the same, she'd be
put, you know, the Ben's mom to the Facebook groups.
Ben's parents were pretty, you know, they were pretty
talkative. They liked to hang out with
people. And it'd be something where, you
know, the subscriber, Sam's mom would be like, hey, like Sam
would love to, you know, hang out with your son.
You know, what is he doing today?
He'd love to integrate him into the community kind of stuff
along those lines. And almost every single time,
you know, Ben's mom would be like, Oh my God, that's so nice.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Like that kind of like mom over
nice tone or whatever. And but she'd be like, yes, but
he's actually told me that he's completely booked out the entire
day, which like, OK, he's completely booked out the entire
day. That's something like I would
say if I have like work and meetings and client work and
stuff that like I literally have my calendar booked out.
But bro is actually 12 years old.
What do you mean he's booked out for the entire day?
Is buddy some like 12 year old running a massive company or
something? Like, I could understand once or
twice if he's like having a friend over from his Old Town
who's coming out to hang out with him for a couple of days or
he's, I don't know, has some big exam, some school to do.
But also it's the summer. But it got really, it was kind
of strange. And during this, during the
first week or two, when this would keep happening, at a
certain point, Sam told his mom, like, hey, look, you don't have
to keep asking. I think if he wants to hang out
at this point, I've already tried.
I've already put in a good effort and maybe in a couple
weeks I'll try again. Maybe he's just really nervous.
Maybe, yeah, 'cause The thing is also when him being quote UN
quote booked out, maybe he's just really nervous to meet new
kids. Maybe he's just really anxious
and would rather stay in his room.
So, you know, Sam was like, all right, I'm going to give you
some space. And Sam would kind of notice,
though, like Ben would be quite often in his room and his desk
and his computer would be facing away from the window.
So when you have his window open, sometimes Sam would walk
by, kind of walk down the stairs in his house.
And there was like a big window on the stairs where he could
look out. And directly across from the big
window was Ben's room. And every single time, he'd walk
by without fault. It didn't matter if it was 2 PM,
2:00 AM, didn't matter what time of the day it was.
He was in his room and he was on his computer playing Roblox
24/7, which there's nothing wrong with a man.
It's totally cool to like Roblox.
It's totally cool to be into video games.
And at the very beginning, right, Sam didn't think anything
of it. He just thought that, OK, well,
this kids probably really nervous to hang out with people.
He's probably real anxious and he's probably just, you know,
really likes Roblox. Little did he know that this kid
was crazy and he was a crazy, crazy Roblox kid.
So one of these days he's walking by.
It's a nice summer day. So the windows are open and it's
like one of those things where the moms like we need cross
breeze. We all want a cross breeze in
here, whatever. And so the windows open and sure
enough, like Sam is walking down the stairs and Ben's windows
open as well so he can once again look into Ben's room and
he sees him playing Minecraft. I'm sorry, Roblox, it's a Roblox
kid playing Roblox all day, as he was doing before.
And you know, this time was a little bit different because all
the other times he'd walk by and see this kid, right, playing
Roblox 24/7, you know, he got no additional context.
But this time he could hear him screaming at his computer.
Like being like, I'm a God at Roblox.
No one is better than me. I'm literally better than
everyone else. You guys are trash, basically
trash talking the whole time. Which like, here's the thing, I
don't know, it's sometimes like crashing out in video games is
understandable, dude. Like this is definitely not the
most mature thing, but I'm not going to lie that I haven't done
that a few times. It just happens, bro.
It really does. But anyways, he also sees his
mom, Ben's mom pop and be like, hey sweetie, do you want to go
and hang out with all the other kids?
Like, do you want to go in and hang out?
And you know, a lot of them have been reaching out to me and I
really think that that you should go and do that.
And he's like mom, like the graphics IRL are trash compared
to the graphics and Roblox. And also those kids are nerds.
I just want to play Roblox. Why would I want to hang out
with losers like those kids? And Ben's mom's like, OK,
sweetie, but you really should do that.
And she like closes the door. So Sam's pretty upset at this
point because he feels like he's gone out of his way multiple
times times to try to give this kid a chance.
So at this point, Sam was upset and he walked down and he walked
down to like the the kitchen where his mom was at, told his
mom everything that happened. His mom's like, hey, I know
that's pretty frustrating to hear that, but you have to
realize this kid might still be anxious.
Like Ben might still be super anxious to go outside.
Do you think he wants to tell his mom that he's scared to talk
to other people? Or do you think it might be
easier to cope by saying, hey, I just, these kids are stupid
good. Roblox is cooler.
I'm doing what's better. And she's also like, look, this
was also a private interaction that you happen to overhear.
So while I can't make you unhear it, this is usually like some
people, people are allowed to have bad days.
Maybe he was having a bad day. He obviously also doesn't even
know you, Sam, so there's no grounds to him saying this in
the 1st place. And so sure enough, Sam's like,
OK, fine, I get it. But like, it's just like, I've
been reaching out to this kid. He's like, look, she's like,
look, give him a little space. Give him a couple weeks and who
knows. So shortly after, a couple weeks
later, there's a block party. This block party was happening
one like one block down from where they lived.
Basically, they'd cut off the two sides of the street with
like cones or whatever. I think there's like one police
officer who'd be there to make sure no car didn't accidentally
like go through. People would set up stands,
there'd be games, food, super awesome.
Same as friends love to do this every summer.
It was one of those like early summer events that they always
look forward to because it was a good time to see everyone.
The games were fun and obviously some pretty nice food.
Hey man, no complaints there. So sure enough, right, they get
there, they're hanging out, whatever, and this is the first
time that Ben actually shows up. This is the first time that Ben
is but makes a makes an in person appearance.
So obviously same as friends kind of look at each other like,
Oh my God, is it? Is that actually Ben?
So Ben does walk in there. He has it.
But but but but Ben walks in with his mom and he's like, Nah,
he's looking down and they see what he's looking down at.
Ben is holding his tablet, bro. He has a tablet, iPad, whatever
device. I guess he had that in addition
to his computer so he could play Roblox on the go.
And sure enough, this kid interacts with no other kids.
He doesn't play any of the games.
He doesn't even eat any of the food he does immediately as soon
as his mom says, all right, have fun, turns around and like walks
over to someone's yard, some random person's yard and just
sits down in the grass and continues to play Roblox.
So this point, Sam and his friends kind of noticed this and
they're like, dude, like I get it if you're nervous.
And I totally also understand like, especially when I was
younger at some kind of sometimes it's much easier to go
on your phone. I totally get that.
And you can kind of go away. I way in a corner, hang on your
phone. And I do understand that.
But it's also like, dude, if you're in one of these
situations, the real advice I can give you is like just really
try to put yourself out there. If you put in some effort, then
as soon as you kind of like sometimes you got to put an
extra effort in the beginning, take on a lock in a friendship
like that. I know I had to like kind of
really intentionally do that when I was in high school.
When I was in high school my freshman year, I did not put in
enough basically any effort during orientation to make
friends. And I had to put in a lot of
effort towards the end of freshman year and the beginning
of sophomore year. And when I say a lot of effort,
I mean a ton of effort being like, or what are you doing
here? Can I hang out here?
Do you want to do this again and again and again?
And then it got to a point where I was kind of in that friend
group and it would just be a default that I would do things.
But it was a ton of effort going in in the beginning.
It wasn't mutual effort at that point because they were like,
cool, I hang out with you, but like, I already have my friends.
But then it became to a point where I was just one of their
default friends. So sometimes you got to put an
extra effort anyways. So at that point, the truth is,
these kids probably would have never seen Ben all summer
because his mom would have like allowed him to play Roblox.
He would have intentionally just stayed inside every single day
just to play Roblox. However, while the subscriber,
Sam doesn't know the exact details of this, of whatever
rule that Ben's mom made, essentially, Ben's mom must have
had a rule that was some something along the lines of
like, you got to be outside for at least a couple hours per day.
Not in your tablet, not playing Roblox outside, hanging out, and
maybe just like hanging out on the grass yourself or ideally
going and hanging out with some other kids and all set it up or
whatever. Probably after the whole block
party incident, she kind of was like, OK, clearly, like, I need
to intervene here. If this kid is going to have my
son, not this kid, my son is going to have any chance of
making friends at all. Yeah.
So sure enough. Right.
So about a couple days after the whole block party, Sam's mom,
you know, they come down. Sam wakes up.
It's another day during the summer.
It's a Saturday. He comes down now.
His mom's already making breakfast.
And she's like, hey, like, do you have any, Like, do you have
any plans today? And he's like, I don't really
know. I was going to talk to my
friends about that. She's like, look, is it possible
that you could invite Ben into the group?
Like, I was talking to his mom and he's ready to come out and
hang out with you guys. And at first, you know, the
subscriber gave his mom a little bit of a look and she's like,
hey, remember what you made? Like, what we promised that you
wouldn't take that one out of context conversation where Ben
was probably really anxious and upset and hold it against him.
He's like, fine, sure, that can work.
So sure enough, right, the subscriber, Sam, tells his
friends to come, you know, come to his house and that they were
going to include Ben. And the friends are like, OK,
cool, whatever. He's like a new kid and let's
see, let's see how he is. Let's, I'd love to love to just,
you know, hang out and see how it is.
So Ben walks out of the house 'cause Sam was waiting out there
and Sam's like, hey, man, how's it going?
Like, good to see you. Like, good to meet finally.
And Ben's like Sup and just has this like, really sad look on
his face 'cause he can't be playing Roblox.
He's like, all right, man. Well, my friend should be coming
here soon. He's just like dead silent for a
second. And Sam's like, so like, do you
play? What do you want to do today?
And he's like, I was, I already have a game ready for us.
And he's like, oh, OK, dude. Sam's friends come whatever.
And Bing goes on to explain that, you know, they were that
he that they were going to recreate his favorite, one of
his favorite Roblox games because if he's not allowed to
play Roblox on his computer, then he's going to play Roblox
in real life. So the friends are like, OK,
yeah, sure. We can totally try this out.
So basically one of the games that Ben loved was this game
Ultimate Fire Simulator, and he was bragging about it online
that he was a Max level pyromancer avatar.
Whatever that means is what the subscriber quoted to me.
And he was explaining how he wanted to recreate that game in
real life. So he was kind of just like,
does anyone have any like tools like that could help Flint and
steal from Minecraft lighters lighter fluid.
They're all kind of like looking at him like, okay, this kid
might actually be crazy, bro. And he's just looking at them
like, what do you mean? Like I just want to play Roblox
in real life and you guys aren't helping me.
Gosh, I knew you guys were clowns.
And he just turns around and goes back inside and same just
looks at all of his friends and all of his friends look back at
him because basically what just happened is this kid hangs out
with him for two minutes, says, hey, like, I want to recreate
Roblox fire simulator, whatever the hell it's called or whatever
the heck it's called in the, you know, in real life.
Do you have any tools to commit arson?
And they look at him like, oh, buddy, no, we don't have tools
to commit arson, bro, I'm sorry to break it to you.
That's just not happening. And then he gets mad about that.
Like, that's the dumbest thing ever, dude.
Like, that is actually insane. Anyways, so the kids go on to
have a good day. They go on with their life.
But let me just say that the saga is nowhere close from being
over. This is not the end of Ben.
So a couple of days later, Ben, I'm sorry, Sam walks downstairs.
It's another day of the summer. His mom's like, hey, like, you
know, you got an invitation to Ben's party.
And he's like, oh, what? Ben has a party?
And she's like, yeah, like, Ben is throwing a party.
All the kids in the neighborhood are invited.
It's in his backyard. And it's.
It's it's apparently inspired to be like Roblox.
But like, in real life events. I know you played a few Roblox
games before, so I, I like, you want to go.
I really think you should. And so Sam, like, reminds her of
the events that transpired a couple of days ago.
And she's like, yeah, like, OK, I get it.
That wasn't cool. And there isn't really an excuse
like there was last time because like last time he accidentally
overheard this kid Ben saying something in private when he,
you know, so many things could have been happening.
There's so much context that was probably missing this time.
Ben was just being a massive jerk.
So, you know, his mom's like, I get it, but I still really think
that you should go. So, you know, at this point
seems like all right, fine, like I'll go.
I'm not going to like avoid this kids party.
Like obviously give him another chance.
So sure enough, he walks over there and by the time the party,
he sees a couple other kids walking over, he hears a lot of
noise in his backyard as well and worked at the kids backyard
because they're neighbors. He walks in and this kid bends.
Mom's like, oh, thank you so much for coming.
Like if you go to the backyard, you'll see what my little boy
band has put together. I'm so excited.
He's finally making some friends.
Yeah. So this was like he basically
this kid decided to throw like what he's calling a real life
Roblox event for all the neighborhood kids and inspired
by one of the games in Roblox called, quote UN quote, epic
fire tycoons. I don't I don't really know
Roblox games too well, so I'm just quoting what the subscriber
who submitted the story told me, which by the way, if you made it
as far into the video comment fire down below, that'll be the
secret word of the day. Helps me see the names and faces
of people made this far in the video.
Thank you very much. If you want to keep supporting
the channel, the best way to do it is to click on another video
that I've posted. Watch another story after this
one. It helps boost the channel.
Thank you very much. And anyways, let's get right
back to it. And so he invited everyone over,
and he was trying to make this. The whole party was inspired by
the viral game like epic fire tycoons.
And he set up his backyard with all these props, right?
And it looked like a fun kind of like, party, kids party,
whatever. There was some food out there.
A lot of kids were mingling. But here's the thing.
This kid Ben secretly planned the whole time to spawn fire
like you can in the game to quote UN quote make it more
authentic because remember, this kid was already he obviously
didn't care to hang out with any of any of these kids.
This was well, I mean, no one really knew at the time, but
this turned out not in fact to be an effort to win them over
and to befriend them and to make things right and yada, yada, all
the kind of stuff like that. It was really just because he he
needed players if his mom was going to force him to hang
outside and he was then going to make Roblox and he was going to
make it as close to the actual game as possible.
But to make it as close to the actual game as possible, he also
needed multiple players also playing with them.
Meaning, OK, I guess I'll invite these random clowns who live in
my neighborhood. Bah, Bah, Bah, that's his.
And that's kind of what he was thinking.
So anyways, you know, during the party, you know, Sam and his
friends were hanging out. Like they're kind of like this
is a little weird, but whatever, it's I guess we'll hang out here
for a little bit more like, hey man, the food's pretty good.
So I don't even know how much I can complain that, you know what
I'm saying? Like I don't even know how much
I can really complain because it's still is pretty tough.
Like I like what I like. It's cool.
I'm hanging out with my friends. No real issues there.
And during the party, they're all hanging out there playing
some game or something. And that's when Ben snuck into
his garage, goes into his garage, he finds these cans of
gasoline that is like dad had in there for something else for
like the lawn mower or something.
I, I, I, I don't even know. And Ben in his mind was like,
oh, this is basically like a fuel boost in Roblox.
And so he goes out and he pours it all around the yard in this
like lava mode pattern. And 'cause he was kind of in his
mind as like, oh, I gotta have a lava field or whatever to make
it more authentic to the Wope Rocks game.
And sure enough, right, He's like, as soon as someone starts
actually paying attention, they're like, Oh my God, dude,
what are you doing? He's like, as part of the Roblox
game, I'm adding in a new update.
There's a new update coming to the game where we're including
lava modes. And he then takes out a lighter,
which he must have taken from his mom's somewhere.
And he just goes, suck the thing.
Flame shot up instantly, and they were way bigger than he
expected. I think he kind of wanted like a
little bit of flames to like, appear in that pattern.
So it's almost like, oh, it's a lava mode.
But he didn't expect it to just immediately shot up.
So yeah, these these flames are way bigger than he thought.
It was already during the summer, and they didn't live in
the most humid place ever, so it was a little bit dry.
It wasn't like a desert necessarily, but it was so
pretty dry. So they the flames started to
jump from the dry grass to the fences and the fire started to
spread like wildfire right to the neighboring neighboring
yards, including the subscribers where it torched the subscribers
shed and half of his deck before racing towards houses, right.
So everyone's screaming, everyone's freaking out, people
go like grabbing hoses. And it was complete chaos,
right? And the two homes caught a fire,
Ben's home and another home next to him.
Thankfully, the subscribers home, the only thing that caught
fire was that shed I was talking about and nothing else besides
the shed. And like a little bit of like
the grass was burnt and some fence was destroyed.
The fire crews were able to get there, right?
They're blaming their silence at the sirens.
And they were battling basically these blazes for hours, right?
It wasn't a quick and easy fix, right?
So the neighborhood was evacuated.
The subscribers family lost their garage.
And it was a shed and the garage.
OK, I'm rereading this now, the shed and the garage.
And unfortunately, while you know, you know, very
fortunately, no one got hurt and the subscriber didn't lose his
house. The garage was almost like a
place where they put a bunch of their memories to Lego,
something where they would like. It was almost used partially as
a storage unit because it had like room for like 3 cars, but
the family only had two cars. So they're like, all right,
we'll use the rest of the storage unit.
So unfortunately, right, they lost a bunch of they lost a
bunch of their memories and the total damage across all the
places was hundreds of thousands.
It was nuts. So also to just add fuel to the
fire, pun intended. OK, actually not no pun
intended. Total pun intended.
When I said that this kid, the subscriber filmed the whole
thing on his phone for content which he was going to upload it
to this like Roblox discord channel that he was in to be
like. This is what Roblox IRL looks
like, but he obviously didn't upload it.
He stopped filming once you realized that the whole thing
was going was a complete mess. So here's a good thing.
I don't exactly know how it happened.
I where the subscriber should say isn't 100% certain how it
happened, but sure enough, somehow that video got leaked.
I think this kid must have I mean, it's other kids saw him do
it, but I think he must have like actually texted it
somewhere or I don't even know exactly the details of how it
got leaked, but it got leaked, right?
And the police were able to now use this also as evidence.
And Ben's parents faced negligence charges for leaving
that gas accessible. And sure enough, they moved out
of the neighborhood. But that was because a lot of
people were, you know, doing like a lot of people had to go
to hotels. The family like one of bed like
it was these two sadly, dude, it was a younger couple like it was
their first house. A good thing they had insurance.
But that was the other house that got burned down was this
kind of young couple, which is super sad, but obviously, right.
This kid moved neighborhoods. They were they were not coming
back And yeah, over the next like, you know, there's still a
lot of rebuilding in the neighborhood.
As I said, this happened a year ago and this kid was obviously
much more of a menace than anyone could have possibly
expected.
