"A Parking lot, there's a lot of cars, more cars less people" Siz stood up and stared at the car for a while. He wondering something.
And he still looks at the birds flying through, sometimes listening to the sound of birds singing, like waiting for the sound of a twig.
"On this side" The shouting came from behind "Are You Ready!!, Siz"
"So, what about the funeral?" Siz asked
"It has passed" Q spoke, and Siz tried not to ask further. Because it seems He wouldn't want to say more.
Siz follow Q to the fire exit, He was curious, but didn't know what to ask first
"why are we here? Fire exit under a parking lot" Siz asked "What's the job to do?"
"We'll see soon" Q Sneaks a little smile like a surprise "By the way, I'm going to ask you three questions"
"got it"
"When was the last play game?" Question number one.
"almost six" Siz replied, Q face disappointed "Play after study, but stop 100% When working, not as full as it used to be When we were together"
"Well, how many of your gaming skills, how many points, a total of ten" Question number two.
"If it's an adventure, level up, craft item, fighting monster seven, but quests of sharpen the brain or wisely unlock something just two or one" Siz laughed, Q Feel hopeful.
"well, What's highlight of you?" Question number three
"nothing" Siz replied
"No, no, it must have" Q stopped walking "What show who are you?"
Siz take time to think and said "I know more about the game than anything else, but it's not much more than anybody else" Siz explained "I can always find a way to beat the monster or the boss, but it's going to take time"
"Then, I brought you not wrong place" Q Open the door
In a medium-Sized room Dark Gray Walls It is decorated with cartoon patterns in the sea.
On the other side is a mountain picture hanging, Next Photo a cow with a big hammer, Pumpkin Lantern Pictures, Picture of swords, bows, strange trees, leaves are below. The trunk is on top, the stone platform is surrounded by a circle.
"Welcome to the adventurer, are you on an adventure today?" announced by the loudspeaker.
"What job? watch the computer? Or photographer? or art?" Siz talks a lot "Radio? or fireman?"
"Look around, what do you see?" Q said
"There's a table, a cupboard, a box, a paper box, a sofa, a photo, and a doorkeeper" Siz added "But wait, that door is so weird, isn't it?"
"That's right, the portal That's what they call it. Real name I don't really know" Q Hug Siz's neck, walk straight to the door "So as not to waste time, let's go in!"
Colorful light shines Severe winds
This causes the Siz to bounce out of the door like an elastic wave between two pillars "Q... Q!" Siz shouted "Q! Oh no, what happened"
The doorman walked to Siz and took him to the detention center.
Ask for information about who it is from So why didn't you go through it? Siz tried to tell the story, but it didn't work
It's been a while.
"He is my friend" Q Popped up He spent a while explaining to the doorman to negotiate.
"Q, you almost killed me" Siz feels more anxious than usual.
"I'm sorry, I forgot what to do first" Q Keep talking "Actually, we should register for verification. We can't get in without this" He pointed to his wristband
"Wristband?" Siz is recalling a lot of people wearing wristband in the city, but him never know "How it works?"
Like he has seen He noticed the people of the city that others had this, but he didn't, making him feel a little angry. 'what am I missing?'
Q Get Siz out of the fire exit to get to the convenience store the shop is full of sweets Instant Noodles, Monster doll models look weird, an adventurer-shaped clay mannequin holding a big sword.
Two-headed black wolf, a skeleton pirate with decay ship, a ferocious mermaid and a bookstore. With a book on the roof
Game Cartridges, poster, Map about the game they both was played Everything, like the world in the game.
"I love this convenience store" Siz said and thought 'or that the sales work, model, game, poster?'
"It's good to love it, you're going to find a lot of things you love" Q said "in wonder world, Ha-ha"
"Q, could I talk to you for a second? I have a question, right?" Siz feeling confused and added "You're asking a question; I answered the question. It's like applying for a job. But you didn't say what I was going to do"
"The job that needs to be done is you have to find a fraction of your aptitude to do that. Some people use talent, some use blessings" Q Knock on the door in the convenience store "Some people do it all their lives, some for a while, but I'm just suggesting what I'm doing."
"What's job? walk into the fire exit and get in the strange door?" Siz feels skeptical "staff to sale in store? Right?"
In Siz's head is full of questions. If he had to guess, it would be a story about a sorcerer, a wizard, a witch, a mage. The way he's been in the cinema.
'or table game'
But on the other hand, it makes him think about working on the dark side Drug trafficking Illegal conduct Because someone has to take care of the door
'doorkeeper? Bad thing?'
Where will that door send us? Siz still doesn't know
"Q! I don't want to work illegally, excuse me" Siz ready to get out of store
"Wait!!" Q open the door and he turned to Siz "Listen, what I'm going to say, you might do not believe it, or tell me crazy. That's why I have to bring you to prove it with your own eyes, and all we're doing is getting started."
"what? Say it, say it, I promise you won't accuse you of being crazy" Siz Frown
"Well," Q Take a deep breath before he speaks "Listen to me, the other side of the door is the game world. The games we used to play before, but this one is realistic, every move is like we are in the game, in that world, people can do it as a career. Which I didn't know you were suitable for with which method"
"Go in the door to play the game Computer, right?" Siz laughed "We're both really crazy, so crazy, are you crazy? Ha-ha" shook his head "no way, game in real-life"
"Not quite" Q added "Some people design dolls on sale. I think you should be able to sell something in your way. Your eyes are suffering for money, right?"
Siz remained silent. The words that stabbed the deep of Siz's heart. like Siz can't hide the problems he's facing.
Q long been friends with Siz, Even far away though it's been about many years, But both of them can still be perceived visually.
"Seriously?" Siz look deeply at eye's Q "Game in real life"
"Absolutely yes" Q said with sound, confident and simple "WORLD OF GAME"
Siz begins to realize that Q isn't lying to him, it makes him start to feel like he wants to see it with his own eyes.
"All right, that sounds stupid. I like it. If I could do what I could" Siz said with little laughed "What is the first thing we should do?"
"you are still you, ha-ha" Q said and smile a little bit "I'm glad you want to go in"
Q Take Siz into the door. The room is similar to the id card center. Document, Photo Booth, Fingerprint Scanner, as far as Siz concerned, that doesn't work at all Because there's a lot of dust.
Probably only a file cabinet with two small circular symbols That seems to be on - off on a regular basis
"Mr. Pil, are you here?" Q Shouted, but there was no sign of a reply "Siz, the cost is about 100,000 Gold" Q Point to his wristband.
"What? Damn it! that's bad" Siz bear down to the ground He feels the problem he's facing. Think about past actions "I don't have that much money, now I have five hundred and would you mind, no, if I borrow you, no" Siz said with difficulty to say and mumbled "happen incident, now I live with six gold per days"
Siz has a desire and feels like going into that world. Make him speak without knowing it. He continued to think that if Q refused, what would he do next? Must go to find work Collect money to get 100,000 Gold
He wants to get in. Based on the gesture
"Let me think about it" Q Contemplating for a while.
Siz knows Q's financial position very well, but he doesn't want to expect too much and is reviewing what he says.
The shadow on the back emerges.
"it's okay, I can wait" Mr. Pil walked back, He was wearing a shirt with an ocean pattern.
"Mr. Pil, long time no see, this is my friend. He wants to go on an adventure" Q said and glad Siz is going on an adventure too
"The money's coming, it's all over"
The sound of fierce and faint "all good? Q"
"already," Q said "wait a minute, sir"
but it's still a bit of a problem. Siz's Problem
Q Walk around the corner. To converse with Siz "Siz, listen to me as I lend you the money, doesn't mean I'm rich or forced you"
Siz stood listening intently and told Q "I actually don't want to borrow your money. I really know what it's like to be in debt" Siz's eyes were filled with sadness and pain inside "Or I should go get a job first and keep money, enough and later"
"wait! But because I trust you, and I know you better than anyone else" Q Stand with a slightly anxious stance "Because of money, it's causing countless catastrophes"
"Of course! I have had tutorials in my past and will not make it a mistake a second time, this lesson I have to recite until life end" Siz said and thinks of the past again
"Are you still a gamer?" Q look at Siz "Want to go into that world?"
"If I go into the world like you tell and play the game" Siz said and hopeful "and got a way out, I would do it and really sure I love game"
"I believe, people like you, if anything about games You can do it better than anything else" Q nod and willing to let Siz borrow money first and entered into a written agreement for both sides' peace of mind but there's a caveat that after Siz entered, he need to get it back as soon as possible.
"But I'm not as good at earning money as you" Siz said
Both sign document witness 'Mr. Pil' And then
Siz followed Mr. Pil into the room. The room is empty. Nothing more. There's only one big round cabinet, enough space for people to stand.
"Come on, walk in" Mr. Pil pointed to a glass big cabinet like a capsule
Siz walked in, and then there was the music, playing slowly. The light shines from Siz's head to shoes, canvases, black. White Rope
It feels like something's been saved, and it smells. Hair, eyes, skin, character Identity Model, Siz feels like he's a copy of a copy of a document Long brown hair, sky up.
The sound emerges from the top.
"Please verify your identity"
Name: Siz Raffla
Age: 27 years old
Date of Birth: xxxx/xx/xx
Address: Spring Crab Village
" #00874860001 " Confirm Identity
"OK" Siz speaks as the hair is back to normal and walk out
"It's done, let's go" Mr. Pil said, send a wristband to Siz
Siz and Mr. Pil walked out of the room Suddenly, There's a lot of unfamiliar faces. Walk in again periodically.
"here we go" Q said with big smile
Both walk edging into a parking lot again but the question in his head is what Siz thinks It feels contradictory, confusing, and disturbing.
He's trying to figure out what Q says as the fire exit approaches "The game is like the real thing" Siz mumbled
What's that place going to be like? What form will monsters be? So, it can do a career? But as far as Siz thinks, by measuring all of risks. There's hardly a better choice. He had no choice
He told himself "It's no surprise that I have to move on because I have a problem to deal with"
The portal, White light is brighter than any light and moves like the surface of the water
"Are you afraid?" Q Ask Siz during the standing in front of the strange door.
"No, I'm just thinking, What's going to change after stepping in?" Siz added "In this world, I'm with my family and another world. Can I come back to my family? That's the question for me" Siz's face full of worried
"Well, Of course, otherwise, will you see me?" Q said and stand and listen attentively like what Siz is about to say.
"I don't know why, who defines or makes us orbit again and it's not your fault. I want to make my own decisions I don't want to be like I used to work on the edge of town" Siz said "Whatever I could do right now, I'm going to do the best I could, it's not easy, having to decide to move on with pain"
5 minutes passed. Both are still standing in front of the portal Door keeper Look at Siz's face with suspicion but it's not much, because as far as I'm concerned, He knows Q well Another doorkeeper was sitting read the magazine.
"All right, Q," Siz said "I'm ready for an adventure" what kind of adventure will it be?
"It's got to be like that, buddy" Q rejoiced
Both of them. Step into the portal. The light shines into the eyes, causing close eyes.
It feels like drifting somewhere. Light and comfortable like bubbles. Smooth like a river. The smell changed. Warmth from the sun Humidity under the parking lot
Transform into a scent. Flowers, air and wind, the sound of water rising in the air Falling to the surface, over and over again
