Chapter 2 - Chapter 2 : Into The Metaverse

After knowing that the game won't be shut down, Louis was really happy. This game has given him a new life. He has been playing it for 3 years, so when he saw the announcement of the game, shutting down completely he was really sad. But now that some other company brought it and will develop it. He was instantly filled with joy after hearing this. So after playing for some time he logged out of the game happily.

He took off his helmet and sat up on his bed. There wasn't much furniture in his room. He only had his bed, a desk and a closet. Oh, there were also some dumbbells, kettlebells, etc laying in the corner of the room with dust piling up on them. Louis glanced at the dumbbells with a few layers of dust and thought,

'It's been a while since I last exercised. As there will be a long maintenance for the update, should I join a gym in the meanwhile?'

Thinking so he walked out of the room….

"Oh shit, I didn't switch off the tv."

He then switched off the tv and went to the kitchen. The kitchen was just beside his common space where his tv was. He opened the refrigerator and took out a can of cola. He opened the can while thinking,

"F*ck the tv must have been on for hours now. My electric bill for this month will increase for no reason."

He then took a sip of the cola feeling refreshed,

"I guess joining a gym isn't a bad idea. Let's gain some muscles again…"

.........…

In front of a local gym in area 9, a few girls were talking and gossiping while pointing toward a tall guy wearing a blue t-shirt with long sleeves. He had black hair with sharp looking dark eyes. Even though he was wearing a t-shirt with long sleeves you can clearly see the tight muscles in his biceps, chest, abs, etc. The muscles weren't too puffed up instead tight and tough. You can clearly see he is a beast.

"Hey hey look at that guy. Isn't he handsome?"

"Uff look at those muscles. I wish I had a boyfriend like him."

"But why is he covering them with his t-shirt? He should walk around half naked showing his muscles to us fairies."

"Yeah, he is doing a sin by hiding them from others. If he gained some muscles he should at least show them to others. Does he think only his girlfriend can see those muscles? He will get karma."

Those girls are probably joking and just gossiping about any topic but it's so annoying. Why is it annoying? Because the guy they are talking about is none other than me, Louis McKay. You might think it's fun being talked about but it's not. You will understand how annoying it is when people just talk nonsense about you and assume anything they want.

"Excuse me…" Suddenly a girl walked toward me and asked, "Do you go to this gym?"

Jeez here comes another annoying problem: from time to time they will come to bother you. This is why I don't like going out.

I replied affirmatively.

Her expression brightened up and said excitedly, "So is the gym good? I am thinking of joining it. How can I join the gym? Can you help me?" She looked at me pleadingly.

"No, I am busy. Ask someone else." You can clearly see from her reaction that she only wants to talk to me. She isn't an inch interested in the gym.

I heard there has been news about the Fantasia update today so I am eager to go home and look into the online forum but these annoying people just have to come and bother.

It's been 6 months since I got the mail about maintenance and finally, there is some news about it. I am so excited. I got home and immediately went to my room and sat on my desk turning on my laptop. I was so excited that I was shaking my legs nonstop. I opened the forum and there was a grand post about it at the top of the forum….

[The time has finally arrived. Xena has announced the new VRMMORPG game Into The Metaverse.]

[It is the updated version of Fantasia that Xena bought 6 months ago. The chairman of Xena Company even claimed that it won't just be a game but a world of its own!]

[And in this world the history and legends would be written by you, The Player. You can do whatever you want in this game. You want to be a king? Then be a king and write the history of Into The Metaverse!]

[This world won't just be some data! Everything in this world will also have value and will be protected using blockchain technology and nft.]

[You will be able to feel everything you can feel in real life.]

[This new world will begin its journey in a month. Register yourself now to join this new adventure in Into The Metaverse before everyone else. *Wink*]

They seem to use great marketing strategies by using such eye catching features. But if it really is what they say then it should be popular this time and the server won't be dead soon like before. Anyway, it will be released next month huh? Fantasia baby here I come….. :3
