Morning, Su Li got up and put on his clothes, it was a combination of black short pants with a white shirt. Although his parent already agreed about him being a girl, they still forbid him from using a skirt unless it was important. after that, he went downstairs. His father was seen sitting on the sofa in front of the television, and his mother was cooking in the kitchen. When he got down his father turned to him.
"Come here, sit beside me"
Su Li hesitated for a while and then dared to sit beside his father.
He looks stiff beside his father and doesn't dare to make a sound. Then a hoarse voice sounded in his ears.
"it has arrived"
"Eh...ah?"
Su Li looked confused for a moment. Then his father gave him a black box. Opening the box, inside was the game terminal for "Heaven" and the manual on how to use it. Su Li just he opens his mouth wanting to say something he closed it again.
"Remember, you owe me 70,000 Liam. If you can't pay it back, then you have to stop playing and admit that your choice was wrong"
"I will pay it," Su Li said resolutely.
Su Li's father look at him for a while and a strange light flashed from his eyes.
"Dad?"
"What is it?" his voice feels impatient.
Su Li hesitated for a while, but in the end, braved himself to say it. "Thank you, and I'm sorry".
"...." there was silence and Su Li is nervous. Then a hoarse voice sounded but it has a little gentleness to it.
"No need, go take a breakfast"
"Okay"
After a simple breakfast, Su Li returned to his room.
He takes out the game terminal and read the manual. The manual for entering the game is very simple, you just have to lay on a flat surface and press the button on the terminal then wait for the game to process.
"That...simple?"
Looking at the clock on the wall, there are still 7 minutes until the game launches. He take his phone that was on top of the bed, opened the chat app, and tapped on a contact named Xiao Ling.
"Xiao Ling, how are you?"
a few seconds later.
"Xiao Li, I'm great! the terminal just arrived at my house. I also have extras from my uncle and grandfather, do you want them?"
"I already have one... you should give it to Li Yun"
"Oh I see, actually I already have one reserved for her and it has already been sent"
"En, that's great, now all three of us can play together!"
"Hehe, Yeah!"
"Then I'll ask Li Yun about it"
"Alright, see you in the game Xiao Li!"
He then tapped on Li Yun's contact.
"Li Yun?"
A few seconds later.
"Su Li? what is it?"
"Did the terminal arrive?"
"Yes, it just arrive"
"That's great! now all three of us can play together!"
"Mhm, it's great, then I'll wait for you in the game"
"Alright, see you later!"
Closing his phone, he looked at the clock again.
"There's still 5 minutes left..."
"mm... I'm a little thirsty"
He goes downstairs and goes to the kitchen. His mother is going to buy some groceries so it's just him and his father at home. Take a bottle of water from Refrigerator, drink it, and put it back. Just as he was about to go back upstairs, his vision stayed in the direction of the windows that show the back of the house. At the back of the house, his father is seen looking at the sky.
Hesitating for a while, he started walking toward his father. His father usually does this. Just staring into the sky, then sometimes letting out a sigh. Su Li is also afraid to ask since his relationship with his father is not so good. But this time he braved himself to ask.
"Father? is... there a something matter?"
His father didn't answer him, and Su Li didn't ask again. Just as he was to go back inside, a hoarse voice sounded.
"You've grown up"
Su Li turned back to look at his father but saw that he still looked at the sky.
"Ah, yes I'm 18 now"
"...indeed... 18 years... time went by very fast..."
"..."
His father turned to look at him. There's a trace of pain in his eyes.
"Your parents gonna leave for a business trip for a while"
"... mom's going too?"
"Yes, there's something there that father needs your mother to do"
"Where are you going?"
"Abroad"
"How long?"
"A few days"
"When do you leave?"
"Tomorrow"
"So soon?"
"It was urgent"
"Ah....okay then..."
Su Li looks a little down. His father saw this and let out a sigh.
"I heard the 'game' you are waiting for is going to launch in a while, you will miss it if you don't go back"
"Ah...right, then excuse me father"
Looking at his son, no, 'daughter' back, he let out another sigh. Taking out his phone, he dialed a number.
...
...
Back to Su Li's room, looking at the clock on the wall, it was only less than 2 minutes left until the game launched. But Su Li felt a little down, he was not as energized as last time.
"It's just a few days Su Li, cheer up" he slapped his own cheek.
He takes the terminal, lays on the bed, and waits. After a minute the terminal let out a *ping* sound.
Su Li quickly press the button on the terminal. Then a strange sensation crept through his body. It's like he was seen naked, it felt a little uncomfortable. After a while, his vision blackened.
...
...
It's like he's sleeping and he cannot open his eyes. It was uncomfortable, his body also cannot be moved, It was like he is paralyzed. He wants to scream but he cannot let out any sound. It felt suffocating, but after a while, a soothing female voice sounded in his mind.
