( Real World, The Arc Ship )
As Leo logged out of the ga, he lazily got off his bed and began scratching his bum as he made his way towards the apartnt kitchen.
Never in his wildest dreams did Leo expect that he was going to have unexpected guests over in his apartnt—let alone that those guests would be the alien operators.
“Woah, woah, woah!” Leo said, sounding shocked, as he did not expect to see elves with pointy ears in real life.
“Mr.Skyshard, please have a seat–” said one of the two elves seated on his apartnt dining table, as Leo cautiously took a seat across from them.
Looking at their pointy ears, pale white skin and almost in-human-like sleek facial shape, Leo had no doubt in his mind that the beings that he was talking to were aliens, however, he had no idea as to why they were here this morning.
Dressed in loose black robes and so sort of pendants that looked like employee I.D. cards, the two elves seated across from him did not appear to be threatening, however, Leo felt nervous nonetheless.
“So…. To what do I owe the pleasure of this visit?” Leo asked cautiously, as one of the elves, the one seated on the right cautiously extended her hand for Leo to shake.
“Greetings player…. I’m Raya, I believe you have seen appear in the rankers event before” said Raya, as Leo shook her hand, without letting the expression on his face change.
To be fair, Leo had no idea that the elf on the right was a woman, as almost all elves had delicate facial features and long hair, which made it difficult for humans to discern their gender without looking at their body shape, which in this case was covered by a loose black robe.
“Greetings, I’m Raven, and the two of us are the ship operators that you often hear over the announcents” said the elf on the left, who was now confird to be a male.
Shaking his hand too, Leo waited patiently for them to disclose the purpose of their visit, as he felt a sliver of curiosity bubble within him as to why they were visiting him now?
Noticing their gentle deanor, Leo assud they weren’t here to punish him—after all, they wouldn’t be this calm if they were. This realization eased his mind slightly, shifting his thoughts from anxiety to curiosity.
“Mr.Skyshard, we are basically here today because your gaming performance has far-surpassed our expectations.
It’s been so good to the point where your performance defies the probability index on our autonomous statistical model.
And hence, we have received an order from our superiors to co here and offer you a deal–” Raya said, as Leo raised an eyebrow at her words.
While he did feel like his gaming performance had been good as of late, he did not think it was sothing heaven defying as Raya described it to be.
“Oh really? I broke the statistical model?” Leo asked, as Raven nodded his head and replied sincerely.
“Think of it this way….. if the probability of tossing a coin and it falling on heads is 50-50.
The probability of doing it twice in a row falls to 25% and the more tis you do it, the less chance you have to do it successively without ever landing on tails” Raven said, as Leo nodded in understanding.
He knew how basic probability worked and hence he managed to follow Raven’s explanation with ease.
“So if you think about the probability of you succeeding in every mission you ever took…. Mastering skills in ti…. Winning the Grand Tournant…. And basically your whole journey up till now, then as per the statistical calculations of our analytical model the probability of you sitting at 322 levels right now is less than 1 in a million” Raven said, as only then did Leo realize that he had been sort of incredibly lucky.
Despite his unique class being sothing of a big headache, he had never really suffered a big setback ever since the ga began and had only made steady progress since.
Whether it was the ‘Leo Skyshard’ persona or ‘TheBoss’ he was excelling in them both and rarely did he hit any roadblocks.
Of-course he also created his own luck, as it wasn’t through sheer dumb fate that he had made it this far, however, it was undeniable that fortune had been on his side when he needed it to be.
“I see…” Leo said tapping his chin as he felt quite good to know that he had done everything right up till now to be where he was.
“Yes…. While your performance has been most excellent and both us and our higher ups are very excited for your future achievents….
With you being so far ahead of the other players, unfortunately, the balance of the ga is starting to break…..” Raya said, as Leo suddenly felt alarm bells ringing in his head.
He did not like how the elf said that the balance of the ga was starting to break, as to him it sounded like an ominous warning.
*Gulp*
Gulping a mouthful of saliva, Leo waited for the Elf to continue, as he did not like the direction in which this conversation was heading.
“So…. We are here to offer you a once in a lifeti deal today…. A deal unlike what we have offered to any player in history before.
And should you choose to accept it, I can personally assure you that you will gain more than you will lose” Raya said, as she smiled amicably at Leo.
‘What the fuck….. this vixen is trying to scam for sure.
She wants to make a deal with where I lose sothing?
Hell, I don’t want to lose anything!
But what other choice do I have? She is an operator, these people control my life and death from the ankle bracelet I have on .
It’s not like I can politely tell her to fuck off either?’ Leo wondered, as sweat beads began to form on his forehead.
