[The Real World]
...
The sunlight crossed the glass window through the gaps of the orange curtains, landing on the face of the young kid holding his pillow to his chest, sleeping in the most comfortable position possible.
A slight sound of a creaking fan, which would have been annoying to many, acted as a white shield for him, making him sleep even more peacefully than he would be without it.
He would have slept a few more hours given the coziness of his bed, combined with the light cold temperature that was seemingly perfect right now.
Alas it was already morning...
"Encerid! Wake up! It’s ti for breakfast!"
A loud voice ca from downstairs, ending the beautiful dream that Encerid, the green haired boy was having.
Opening his eyes, he let the sunlight directly into his eyes, almost blinding him.
Trying to find an escape, he turned the other way, running away from the threatening rays of light that were burning the infinite library of books in his dreams.
-Thud!
Sadly enough, the other side was too close to the edge of the bed, making him fall down as he hit his head on the ground.
"Oww!"(Encerid)
Half groggy, he scratched his head trying to stand up, though halfway through...
-Thud!
He fell again.
Looking down, he found his legs entangled with the bedsheet, making him groan a bit before he slowly untied them.
"I know you love , my bed. But alas we must separate."(Encerid)
"ENCERID!!!"
Hearing his mom’s voice, he sighed before checking over the side table with his hand, finding the green square glasses. Putting them on, he then looked at his ssy hair before observing the fallen pillow and bedsheet on the ground.
"I AM AWAKE NOW MOM!!!"(Encerid)
Slowly putting the bedsheet back, and then with the pillow, he tidied up the bed. And once done, he combed his hair, enough to not look like a hobo. He will make sure to make it look cleaner later...
"ENCERID!!!!! CO DOWN HERE!!!"
"WHAT’S IN THE BREAKFAST MOM?!!!!"(Encerid)
Encerid picked up his smartphone, checking on the logs and forums of the ga he has been playing for the last few days.

As the screen loaded, Encerid brushed his teeth, washed his face before putting on a casual half-t. anwhile his eyes scanned through the dozens of comnts and posts that simply repeated the usual banter that was going on the last few days.
The situation was getting worse by the day, and even though the company said that they would do sothing about it, there didn’t seem to be anything that had been happening within the company.
’Today is the day, huh?’(Encerid)
But the players were still waiting. Because a date had been given by the company, on which they would take a direct action against whatever is going on within the ga.
The 35th day in the ga, as ntioned by the system. It was today.
Thinking about his own efforts in the ga, Encerid slowly reached down to the dining area with the phone in his hand. He recalled all the information that he had collected about this incident, and how he was so close to finding out the reason too.
Within the ga, he had already reached the place where the root of the experints had started, and was only one step away from the truth. But despite all that, he was careful not to get caught up within the experints as much as possible.
’But today should be fine, right?’(Encerid)
He thought since today the company was going to take action anyways. So most probably, he should be safe even if he were to get caught. Though he just needs to ti it properly.
’About 30 minutes before the countdown should be fine, I suppose?’(Encerid)
Reaching down, he saw his mom, dad and two elder brothers waiting for him at the breakfast table.
One of the brothers had green hair like Encerid and his mother, his na was Riley. He was the middle child, and was currently in the 2nd year of his dical college.
The elder brother, Raley had black hair, similar to the father, and was already a software engineer working first year of job in a major company.
Encerid took out a pancake that his mom baked before beginning to quietly eat it as he kept checking through the forum for anything worth reading.
"Are you sure you should be playing that ga?"(Raley)
It was his eldest brother that asked the question. His eyes full of concern looked out for his brother, who was playing a ga with such dangerous news floating around it. Being a software engineer, he knew quiet a bit about the [Call of the Black Magicians!]. And knowing the current news floating around it, he couldn’t help but worry for Encerid.
"It’s fine, Brother. I think it will be solved today."(Encerid)
"And if it doesn’t. You are quitting."(Riley)
That was his second brother, showing clear annoyance to why his brother was adamant about playing a ga like that. If he could have done so, he would have stopped Encerid from playing days ago when he first heard the news of the strange occurrences. But because Encerid was really stubborn about it, he could only give up for the ti being.
Still, all they needed to do was wait.
It wasn’t like anything could go wrong in a single day, right?
The talk then slowly turned to mundane things before Encerid finally finished his food and then politely bowed before leaving from there, back to his room to play the sa ga again. His family looked at him running back with excitent before they all sighed and continued with their own als.
Since it was his sumr vacation, nobody was stopping him from playing the ga for now. Especially after Encerid was a scholar of his school.
While studying was good, only studying wasn’t. The fact that Encerid was having a hobby of his own now, made the parents feel a bit more at ease. Though they would have loved it more if he chose an outdoor hobby, but still... This was better than nothing.
As for Encerid, he rushed back to the room, putting on his headset as he excitedly logged into the ga once again. His eyes shone brightly, as he kept on wondering about the main plot behind these strange occurrences.
