Bam!Fireworks shot at the sky at the launch of the most advanced virtual reality game, IMPERIAL SAGA. People, gamers enthusiasts and people who follow the latest trends in technology participated at the countdown when the game was announced online.“Damn, cool! I’m glad I swapped my motorbike for this capsule,” the Nettuber Nelson commented when he showed his followers the capsule he acquired that is only for playing the now popular, IMPERIAL SAGA.“And did you know…hushh…this is a secret I just got from fellow gamers. So, did you know, there’s a rumor that IMPERIAL SAGA will give its players money just for gaming? Brothers and sisters, our in-game money can be withdrawn in the real world!”[foccin killa…][just what i always wanted it to be][Imagine having a job inside the game and using your money in real life where you’re jobless. That’s nuts. It’s like having two lives.][hahaha, I’m taking assassination jobs now. Anyone who wanna hire me?][murder XD][lololololol]Nelson looke
Nelson's uploaded video took up the charts in trending topics. He was even interviewed for an evening magazine show just to talk about his experience in meeting the rumored Duke, who everyone thinks is the top player within the game because currently, he's also the one dealing with the empire's affairs more than the emperor. "Isn't this a problem?" Clementine said to Matthias when Matthias went out of his capsule that day. "That Camilla will see you.""See me?" Matthias thought for a while before stepping out of the capsule. "What is it for her then? I don't remember offending her except for that one time when I—""She's out for your throat and money," Clementine informed Matthias. "And because of that, here's the report that I need you to read."Matthias read the report with a serious face, tapping on the floor with his foot. And after two minutes, he sat down on the chair not too far away from him. "These...is she seriously trying to start a war? Isn't the sales and manufacturing
"Get that and that and that fucker out of my face, now. Argh!"Everyone trembled as Camilla shouts to her assistant to take out the professional gamers that they hired to mine invaluable things within IMPERIAL SAGA."I'm so tired of dealing with morons. Why do you keep hiring dumb people like those?" she whined to her butler and lover, James Morrow. "Do a better job or else...hah, don't mind."James walked out of the room escorting the fired gamers, who's been gaming for only one day but brought out unsatisfactory results to Camilla."Can I ask something," one of the gamers asked James. His eyes were already moistened from the harsh words beating from Camilla earlier but it wasn't that noticeable behind his thick eyeglasses."We know what we are doing, mining and collecting rare treasures but why is she offended when we said that we successfully formed an alliance with that Duke? As someone with a merchant job, being in connection with the Duke will surely make the gameplay easier."
“Yes, sir. I am… Matthias Claude.”The unassuming delivery guy checked the caller’s phone number once more and like what he saw at first, it’s an unregistered caller.“Inheritance?” he repeated to clarify if he heard him right.“Yes? What are you saying, inheritance? Do you take me for a fool?… Try your joke elsewhere.”Outside the tall Cerena Hotel, Matthias hung up the phone angrily and blocked the calling number after hearing the caller's exaggerated deception.He looked around and saw the high-rise buildings which made him look like a small man.Matthias chuckled at the ridiculousness that the man said. How ridiculous it really is! A man told him that he's going to inherit trillions of industries!Is that even possible for an orphan like him? He’s not even inside any drama.Laughing, Matthias concludes that it’s just another scamming system to take money from other people like himself. But what can they get from a poor college-sophomore like him who doesn’t even have a decent am
Slowly, Matthias got up from his bed, afraid that the person behind that door might be somehow connected to Aira’s sugar daddy or to the money accidentally sent to him.He walked to the door and peeked outside to see who’s there, but he saw no one. Bang!This is not a knock anymore, he thought. Whoever is outside seems to be impatient.Gathering all his courage, he opened the door, wishing that a good talk can solve any of those misunderstandings. However, in spite of all those preparations, Matthias fell into disappointment when the person he saw was their apartment owner. Ms. Greta, the overweight owner of their place, immediately showed her palm in front of Matthias. Her ugly face that’s already sagging from having too much fat is stretched a bit as she looks up at the young man. “So what now, have you already decided?” she asked like a commander. “Or you can pay your rent if you don’t want to.”Matthias showed her his empty wallet and asked if he can just pay next month but Ms
Matthias stared for a long time on his trembling hands.He can still feel a bit of what he touched earlier. He needs to apologize for that girl that he accidentally touched but on a second note, will he see her again, right in this huge building?Frustrated, he simply glared at his reflection on the elevator’s wall and sighed. Ah! Focus, Matthias. He scolded himself.Then, ding!The elevator opened exactly at the 99th floor. Other than him, no one else used the lift so the tightening in his chest got worse from the unknown feeling that’s in between nervousness and anticipation of what’s coming next. But alas, he’s here. There’s no way he can turn back now.The lift opens and what welcomes him is a spacious and glamorous office filled with expensive items from furniture to the small trinkets that seem like art pieces. Hearing the door open, the man sitting comfortably on his chair glanced at the lift to see who came. Seeing Matthias face, he immediately rose from his seat and gre
A few minutes earlier, just after Matthias turned around, Mr. Owen remembered that his new master doesn’t have a car to drive around. “How dumb of me to not organize that first before saying goodbye to him.”Trying to catch up on Matthias, Mr. Owen called his secretary to arrange the car for him.“I’ll be there in a minute, so you just need to remain on standby.” But what is this now?“What are you doing?” he couldn't help but shout when he saw Matthias being surrounded by his own men. "Why are you all gathered here?" Noelle’s eyes almost bulged out of her eye-socket when she saw the CEO’s angry face. She trembled and the cat seemed to get her tongue under the intense pressure of her boss.“It’s because of this man, sir!” one of the guards shouted to make a good impression in front of Noelle as if what he did saved the whole world. “This beggar suddenly stormed in and caused a commotion earlier, so we will be sending him to the police station to lock him up in a prison for trespa
Because of Cheska’s invitation, Matthias couldn't focus on the game at all and made several fouls. What’s worse is that if it is Jared committing a foul, it wasn’t ruled as foul at all.The practice game inside the class ended like a wind at Matthias’ loss, because of this, the winning team led by Jared did not stop commenting on how wussy he is. Aira is also proud about this and can’t stop smiling at him, showing Matthias that he’s clearly a loser.Cheerleaders on the other side, supporting Jared’s team also joined the taunting, making Matthias look more miserable.“Nice game, guys. Why don’t we have fun and have a barbecue party today as a reward to ourselves?” Cheska suggested. Everyone except Matthias’ friends and Cheska looked at each other with a grin in their eyes. Of course, Matthias, the poor boy, will surely ditch the party and run at his rat hole again. “Yes, why don’t we do it?,” Aira agreed as her smile widened with malice towards Matthias. “Okay, let’s count who wi
