Clicking sounds of my fingers hitting the keyboard in the middle of the night. Looking for a guide on the internet for the ga I'm playing. A quest that needs a lot of attention from the NPC's conversation that I accidentally skipped. While I'm busy reading the guide, my phone vibrates. I pick up my phone to check who ssaged late at night, turns out it's an order to drive a custor. I'm clicking my tongue.
"At this hour?! Are you kidding ?!"
I wash my face and go downstairs while wearing my uniform. Locking the front door of my house while unlocking the shiny black luxury car in my garage. I get inside the car, start the engine and go to the eting point.
I sit inside the car and waiting for the custor. I'm looking at the building beside . A famous video ga publisher that has always released great gas for the past decades. Then a young man is walking towards my car. I get out and walk to the passenger door and open the door.
"Good evening, sir."
A pale skin kid wearing a beanie and parachute jacket smiles at .
"Good evening to you too. I apologize for disturbing your resting ti."
I smile.
"It's my job so you don't have to apologize."
He nods and sits on the backseat. I go to the driver's seat and start the engine.
"Is your destination according to the map, sir?"
He's checking his bag and then looks at and leans forward to see the map.
"Ah yes! That's my house!"
I smile and shake my head.
"You don't have to tell the details, sir. It's dangerous to tell anyone where you live especially to so stranger in the middle of the night like ."
He smiles.
"It's fine. I won't be living there soon."
I chuckle and shake my head with disbelief.
On my way to the destination, I'm driving carefully since most of the traffic lights in this area are already flashing yellow at this hour. I'm looking back through the mirror and he's still searching for sothing in his bag and then he grabs sothing. It's a gaming console and he imdiately turns it on. The light from the console makes able to see his expression and he looks so happy like a child who just got a new ga and couldn't wait to play it. Then I hear a familiar BGM from his console. That's the ga I was playing earlier. I'm looking at him.
"You have a good taste for ga, sir."
He smiles and looks at .
"Thank you. I just played this ga a week ago and I'm about to get the Bloody Crown, all I need to do is talk to the NPC."
I'm shocked and turns my head.
"Bloody Crown?! That's the hardest headgear to create on that ga at the mont! How did you obtain all the required items?! And you just played that ga for a week!"
He laughs.
"When I saw the ga and the latest update and saw that headgear, I imdiately installed the ga and grinding for the items. Well, so of them I bought it from auction a few days ago. I got the last rare drop item from the 22nd boss this morning, so I'm all set to make the headgear."
I'm staring at him.
"Don't play with , sir. Even if you do that, you still need to be an end-ga player with the help from the top 3 guilds raid teams to be able to kill the 22nd boss for the last item!"
He smiles.
"But I'm already an end-ga player. It only took three days. I paid the raid teams to help defeat the 22nd boss."
I choked.
"What?! I played this ga for a month and I haven't reached the end ga!"
He laughs and I'm just shaking my head.
We continue talking about it and turns out he's a ga creator and he was invited by the ga publisher from earlier. Soone this young to be able to make his own ga and got invited by a big company, that's really a big achievent. This kid doesn't seem to be so hyped about it. He keeps talking about how he made that ga and I'm starting to know him more. This kid is really nice and looks so innocent by the way he talks.
We have arrived at the destination. I can't believe what I'm seeing. A big mansion with tall pillars surrounding the house. His parents must be so big shot. I look back.
"We are here, sir."
He looks at the window and puts his ga console on his bag.
"Thank you!"
I open his door and he gets out of the car. I smile.
"Thank you for using our service and have a good night, sir."
He smiles and nods.
"You too!"
I'm so tired and thinking about having a nice hot coffee since it's already late and I don't think I'm going to get so sleep. When I'm about to enter my car and then he cos back.
"Ah, Mister!"
I peek my head on top of the car and look at him.
"Yes, sir? Is there anything that you forgot in the car?"
I'm looking at the backseat and use my phone's flashlight to check. He approaches .
"No. I want to invite you to my house. I know it's weird but I would like to treat you to a cup of coffee. I have new coffee beans that just arrived this morning and I haven't tried them yet. It's a premium kind of coffee bean so it must be good. So I would like to have soone else's opinion about it."
I scratch my head and look at the ti. It's 2 A.M., but I really do need a cup of coffee, and it seems that he really wants to accept his offer. I sigh.
"If it's okay with you, sir. Then I'll gladly accept it."
He smiles and claps his hands. He runs towards the entrance gate and uses a remote to open it. He waves.
"Let's park your car inside. You can park anywhere."
I chuckle and still can't believe I'm going to do this.
I park my car near the huge fountain. I'm looking around and amazed at how massive this mansion is. He chuckles.
"Welco. Let's get inside."
He put his fingerprint on the scanner and the door imdiately make a clacking sound. He opens the door.
"Co in."
I walk in and am imdiately srized by the interiors. I gulp and look at him.
"You live here alone, sir?"
He closes the door.
"Yes, my parents are living abroad. So I'm on my own. Well, there are dozens of maids and servants here, but they're in a different building right now because that's where they all sleep.'
He walks towards the stairs.
"Let's go. The kitchen is upstairs in my room."
Kitchen on the second floor? and in his room? My brain stops working.
I follow him upstairs. He opens the door and it's like a studio apartnt. The kitchen, living room, bathroom, and bedroom are all in here. I see stairs to the second floor. My brain is still processing what I'm seeing. He runs towards the kitchen and imdiately brews the coffee. I'm wandering around to see the rest of the room. I see a glass door and take a peek inside. It looks like a capsule bed and there are 10 of them in there. He looks at .
"Those are new gaming consoles."
I turn around and look at him.
"Gaming consoles?"
He nods with a big smile on his face.
"Yes, I made a ga and that's the console you need to have to play the ga. It's a VRMMORPG with 99.9% similarity of real life, so you can do anything you want in there without limitation."
I tilt my head.
"Why only 99.9%? What about the 0.1%?"
He chuckles.
"Well, you can't respawn when you die in real life. That's what makes the ga only have 99.9% similarity with real life. Of course that 0.1% is the system."
I chuckle.
"Right..."
He approaches with two cups of coffee. He offers one to and I grab it from his hand. He puts his hand on the scanner and the door slide open. I follow him inside and he sits on the desk at the back of the room. He turns on the PC.
"Please have a seat here."
I sit beside him and watch him using the computer. He's operating sothing that I don't have any idea what is he doing. I sip my coffee and realize how good the coffee bean is. He's typing on the command-line while sipping the coffee. Then the capsule beds are turns on. He stands up and stands beside one of the beds.
"Co here."
I approach him. He takes the helt inside the capsule bed and puts it on. Then he's lying inside the capsule bed.
"You should go to the other console and put the helt on. We are going to play!"
I go to the capsule bed beside his and put on the helt then lying inside it.
"Is this a new VR device?"
He laughs quietly.
"Yes. I made this device. So it's not the sa as the others VR devices. To tell you the truth, you're the first person ever to use this device other than ."
I lift my body and take a peek at his capsule bed to see his face.
"Really? Wow, it's an honor."
He chuckles.
"It's an honor to have you play with ."
He peeks his head and points at the button on my right side of the capsule bed.
"Press that button to start the device."
I look at the button and look at him. He's already lying on the capsule bed. I also lay down and wait for his command. He raises his arm.
"Let's play!"
I pressed the button and felt a bit dizzy. I fell asleep imdiately.
