Rain Cloud City,
Into the alleyways of the commerce street, a boy can be seen running inside without difficulty to navigate his way out.
He has a big plastered smile on his face as he vigorously increases more into acceleration. In his hand, a Virtual helmet; inside of a transparent box.
Dragon Online, it is named.
This virtual-game is the most engrossed and anticipated virtual game in these decades. Because it excels all of its competitors in inn-game mechanics and content.
The comparison between this game to other virtual-games was, it had a realistic interaction with NPC, thrice the big of the map, and the competition between companies to dominate this game is on the rise.
All of the virtual idols will be competing in this stage, and he'll witness it with his own eyes.
He was only a fourth-class family. In this world, monarchy and democracy are infused in one system.
The fourth-class family is the commoners are. They have basic human rights, decent jobs, and work pays that can sustain their need without dying in hunger, except if you're a douchebag to throw your money carelessly.
The third-class family is the businessmen and those who have the status of being a manager or whatnot. They're some few changes in benefits for them but nonetheless, they are slightly richer than the fourth-class.
For the second-class where the nobles entered. Their concept of power is similar to Nobles in medieval times. Except for being the lord of the land, they are the city mayors, and they can earn the title of "Mayor" between family disputes.
Now the last class, the first-class family. The title of their status is well known to be called "Dukes". They run the whole region as they see fits. For a few defects, it needs to be according to the law. If they'd have been accused of abusing their mandates, the president and the other dukes would strip them of their titles.
Now onto the last, the president. Below the duke's titles, no one knew how the president selection works, they only knew that a new president would replace the previous after 10 years of service, that's all.
He's a fourth-class family, so you can just imagine how happy he was having this precious virtual helmet.
His mother is a single parent who works 8 hours a day without a break just to sustain their daily needs, which she only earned 4.000VM[1] a month. So having this baby which costs a hefty price of 12.000VM[1] is a wet dream of him.
He has a normal life, a normal family, and normal hobbies. He was glad that the government is kind enough to give all of the fourth-class family a smartphone so they can't be ignorant of what's happening in the country. He was happy having this!
Passing the over-pass bridge, he immediately took the bus home to get ready for the launch time of the game. The virtual-game would commence start in 2 hours prior, and he doesn't want to be lagged behind by others.
"Thanks, Shopee!" He muttered in delight.
It was the company that made the ruffle of this virtual helmet, he was thankful to them.
The bus stop at the 4th street where his house is. Getting off the bus, he pushes the gas pedal again without break, passing everyone at lightning speed.
He is an athletic guy but has no social life. Sad isn't it? But due to this, he learned to entertain himself with whatever things that he has in mind. If he has never had a creative mind and his free smartphone, he might've already been a loosened child. His life would be dull needless to say.
Arriving at the door of his house, he took his shoes and shout, "I'm home, mom!"
"Great!" His mother replied in the kitchen, "Yulsa, why don't you pick your siblings at kindergarten? Can you?"
"Of course, mom." Yulsa didn't object. "Wait a moment, I'll be ready!" He said and ascend on the stairs to the second floor.
"Okay." His mother said.
He didn't reply and entered his room. He changes his sweaty t-shirt and wears a new one before exiting his room after neatly placing the virtual helmet on his desk.
He has an ordinary life, he might never care if others would look at him with contempt because of his sweat, but that all change when he saw her.
She came from a noble family, a second-class. Nobles have two individuals. One is the mayor title, two is the rich business family. And she was on the latter, her family owned the electric industry in this city alone, so they were influential somehow.
He knew he doesn't have a chance to her. All he could do was be presentable in her presence as she was always a chatty person.
That's why every teenager who has siblings that study in this kindergarten always present every time, and you can hardly spot any parents.
He doesn't have a chance to her and he knew it, but admiring her in the distance is enough for him because he would forget about her when time passes anyway.
After kissing her mom on the cheeks, he exited the house and accelerated again into the direction of the kindergarten, he doesn't want to stand outside of the kindergarten while the horny teenager flocks her left and right. He wanted the front seat!!
Unfortunately, she didn't pick her little sister today as the black cars in the parking lot were waiting; waiting for her little sister.
Taking his twin siblings(girls), he eats lunch before resting in his room and waits for the launch time of "Dragon Online"
And it came, right on time, at 2 o'clock.
He already notified his mother that he will be busy and doesn't want to be disturbed so he locks his door and puts on the virtual helmet. Lying on his bed, the virtual helmet rebooted and glowed before starting.
