After the ga had concluded, it was ti for each of the Montem players to go ho and get so well deserved rest, especially Novis. The effort expended in the match paled next to how difficult it was answering so many questions in post.
Now he actually felt a little bad having looked at Ashley and Dan, wishing he would be in their shoes. Novis was currently with his little brother Bill who was walking down the street, reinacting the fight with Woo Woo.
"Then you scread and charged at them with that chain thingy and chucked that spear and they were all dead and then you won and everyone was like whoa." Bill rapidly narrated while acting out each scene.
"I know Bill, I was the one who was there." Novis said with his face a little red.
"Hey Bro, why didn't you tell you beat Lucas in a one on one?" Bill asked, "Wait more so, when did this happen and how? Like I know you're good at the ga now but the ti fra doesn't match up, even if you faced Lucas a month ago I could never imagine you beating him."
"It's not what you think," Novis replied," and Lucas t up in an internet caf and he agreed to teach a few things. It was a practice ga where he was showing things and he let kill him as a teaching thing. I guess Tick decided to use this information just to hype up the next match."
"Oh, that actually makes a lot of sense, a lot of dia companies will do these type of things."
Novis then went to check his phone. A video of the match between Woo Woo was uploaded online and the highlights all contained scenes of Novis. He watched the video again and again, thinking back to the ga.
The video had around 60,000 views which was viral for a local county tournant between schools. Everyone in his town and the surrounding towns would have watched it. But it wasn't like he would get stopped in the street for it, after all, the warrior character's face that was shown not Novis' actual face and even though he was famous, it was still no where near the level of Virtual God famous.
Arthur's videos had millions of views and were shared worldwide on a much larger scale. One day Novis hoped he would be up there with him.

Most of the Montem team had gone ho with their parents or friends who had co to watch the ga, but there was one player who remained on his won and that was Alex. He stood just outside the gate of his house nervously.
His Mum had to have found out already that he had gone missing from the house and she was without a doubt furious. As Alex went to check his phone he could see 23 missed call's and several texts from her.
It had only made him more nervous but he had made up his mind with what he had to do. Alex Rang the buzzer and waited for it to answer.
"Mum it's ." Alex said.
The speaker remained silent as the gates swung open.
When Alex cautiously opened the door he was imdiately greeted with a big hug.
"Oh my god where were you, I thought sothing had happened to you. Why didn't you answer your phone? I was about to call the police!" She said in a worried voice.
This was a surprise to Alex, he had expected her to rip him apart for sneaking out.
"Mum we need to talk." Alex stated as he gently pushed his mother away. "I'm playing VSW, and before you say anything ,this is not a request. I'm telling you. You can take my things away you can try force to study but I love that ga too much and it makes so happy. Even if I did study, once I left ho I would only be going back to the ga. I went to the ga today and everyone's family and friends were there to support them. All except you. I was alone, I felt sad; now I don't expect you to support , but I just don't want you to get in my way either."
Alex's mother thought about it for a while. For so reason, her mood was different from usual. Perhaps because she had been so worried that sothing had happened to her son that she realized what she was doing was more damaging than helpful to her son.
"Alex, When you started to play the ga when you were younger you always told that VSW was your dream. I kept thinking to myself it's only a phase, he will get out of it. I was just trying to get all your distractions away for you." She continued, "you know I had a dream once too. I wanted to be a dancer but my parents forced to study and in the end, I followed in their footsteps to beco a doctor as well. I thanked my parents for giving a good job and I thought you would do the sa as well. But a little bit of always wondered would I have been able to make it as a dancer?"
Tears then started to fill Alex's mother's eyes. "I'm sorry son." She said as she gave Alex another big hug. "Just try to make your dream co true."

Back at Novis' house he had finally arrived ho and was relaxing on his bed in his room. Any second now Novis felt like he would fall asleep even though it was only 7:00 PM.
"Tomorrow is Lucas's match huh." Novis said.
"I wonder how much that boy has improved." Said Arthur. " I believe it will be a good match between you two."
"Do you really an it?" Noivs asked.
"Yes I do." Arthur replied, "You have grown a lot Novis, more then you think."
Just then Novis phone buzzed. He had turned his phone on silent as he had been getting several ssages from the VSW ssaging service asking for friend request after the ga. However, as Novis looked at his phone it wasn't a ssage for his account but was a ssage for Arthur's id "Pendragon."
The ssage read:
"Hey long ti no speak, it's Hastam here. Just writing to let you know next week I will be heading to England to be a guest comntator on a semifinals match. I was hoping maybe we could et up, or I could even get you tickets to watch the match? Let know what you are thinking."
