'Winter Break starts tomorrow!!! That means no school for 12 days!' Rem thought happily as she was walking home from school.
Rem is currently 9 years old with no friends. She never liked interacting with others. Many people wanted to get close to Rem because they knew Rem was from a rich family. Rem never looked at these people and only found herself despising them. She was the only child and her parents were always at work so she lived in a mansion. The only people in the mansion were just a few workers who never paid any attention to Rem.
*Brrr..! Brrr!!!
'Hm? Oh, a call. Good thing I felt my phone vibrate or else I would have missed the call. I wonder who it's from...' Rem wonder, looking at her phone.
'It's from... My dad? Why would he call me..? He's always busy so why..?' Rem wondered.
'Whatever. I might as well answer the call. This is pretty rare...' Rem thought, finally answering the call.
"Hey, little pumpkin! How are you?" Rem's dad asked.
"I'm fine. You don't have to worry about my academic progress. Anyway, what is it? Why would you call me..? You're always busy..." Rem said, mumbling the last part.
"I see. That's good then. Anyway, your mom and I have gotten you a gift for your 10th birthday. I know today isn't your birthday yet. Tomorrow is, but we will be busy at that time. We're sorry for not celebrating your birthday with you this year again..." Rem's dad said sadly.
"I understand. What kind of gift is it?" Rem asked.
"It's a secret! Go home right now and you'll find out about what your gift your mom and I gave you. Happy early birthday! Anyway, I have to go now. Remember, we always love you." Rem's dad said, hanging up.
'It's always the same every year... My parents never... Never in my life celebrated my birthday with me... Why can't they just take the day off..? Why..?' Rem asked herself, feeling her heart aching.
Ever since Rem was little, her parents never spent any time with Rem for as long as she could remember. Apparently, Rem was in an accident when she was 6 years old. That was probably the reason why she couldn't remember anything that has happened before she was 6.
'I'm finally home...' Rem thought, feeling a little tired.
'That must be the gift my parents sent me. Whoa... It's huge. Rem thought, trying to move the huge package to her room.
After a while, Rem finally got the huge, heavy package to her room. She didn't ask for help because she knew nobody would help her anyway.
'Finally... Phew... That was tiring. Now let's see what's inside.' Rem thought as she grabbed a razor knife to open the huge package.
Rem carefully opened the package. The package was protected very well. After getting rid of the protections, Rem looked at what was inside the package.
'This is..?' Rem was surprised.
'Is that a VR set? There's even a game attached to it and there's... A letter?' Rem grabbed the letter and began to read it.
[Dear Rem,
We're sorry for not being able to spend your birthday with you. We decided to give you something special this year. In the package we sent you is a game. It's special because this is a project we have been working on for a long time. We also bought you a VR set so you can play the game properly. This game has not been released to the public yet so you are the first to play it. Have fun and enjoy the game!
Sincerely,
Your Mom and Dad.]
'My parents have been working on a game? I guess that's possible since my dad is the owner of one of the best companies in the world. Actually, dad owns many companies... Even I don't know what he does in the company. All I know about mom is... She's my dad's assistant. Come to think of it, I barely know or remember anything about my parents...' Rem sighed.
'Whatever..! This game is called... Nemmonis Online..? There's no description about this game... I'll just have to play it to find out.' Rem read the instructions on how to set up the VR devices.
In about 10 minutes, Rem finished setting everything up. Rem put on the VR helmet and laid on her bed, starting the game.
[Welcome to the Nemmonis Online!]
A blue screen popped up in front of Rem.
"Hello there! You must be Rem." Rem heard an unfamiliar voice.
A beautiful girl with light green hair and gold-colored eyes suddenly appeared in front of Rem.
"Who are you? Since my parents were the ones who created this game, they must have told you about me... Am I correct?" Rem asked.
"Yes, you are indeed correct. Let me first introduce myself. My name is and I will be your guide." said, bowing slightly.
"What do I even do in this game? Can you tell me more about this game?" Rem had no idea what this game her parents created was.
'What's this game's purpose and why did my parents create a game for me..?' Rem wondered.
