Ringg...
The alarm clock rang loudly as Rey was lying on an old bed.
"Ugh , shut down you little thing." The boy mumbled as he stopped the alarm clock.
"shit... I am late , I have to hurry." He freaked out after he saw that it was already 8'o clock in the morning.
"That old man nick will kill me today for sure." He thought as he started running towards the bathroom.
"Bang..." He banged the door behind as he entered the bathroom.
He was in a great rush right now, he ate nothing and just picked up his bag, locked the main door of the house and left.
...
He picked up a cab and headed towards the cafe where he worked .
After 10 minutes , he reached at the cafe , he rushed towards the entrance after he paid the cab driver , after he reached the entrance , he saw an old man standing at the entrance.
"Rey!!!, you are late again ." The old man shouted at him furiously.
Rey started to apologize to the old man as he thought .
"This old geezer never fails the chance to scold me ."
He then kept apologizing until the old man let him enter.
"Fine, I will forgive you for today , if you do this the next time , I will cut your salary ." The old man said with a furious look, and left after staring at him for some time.
"oof... finally got rid of that stingy old geezer." Rey sighed as he entered the cafe .
After entering the cafe , he was greeted by a girl in her twenties .
"Hello Rey, how are you doing today?" She asked him.
"Ah , Hii miss Lina, I'm doing fine , how about you?" Rey answered politely.
Lina was someone who cared for Rey from when he joined the cafe as a worker , he was 14 when he joined the cafe , Lina was the only one who used to care for him in the cafe, she would sometimes invite him to dinner at her home , and also used to give him money when needed.
"I'm doing fine as well , did the owner scold you again ?" She giggled after seeing his downcast face.
"Ya , I was late today, so he scolded me a lot , it was my fault anyways."
He was a little embarrassed when he said that he was late and how he got scolded.
"Haha, you should sleep early at night , don't overwork yourself or you may even get sick." she said to him with concern.
"Ok-ok miss Lina, I won't overwork myself from now on." Rey said to her.
"Ok, I have some work so bye , take care , if you need anything , feel free to ask me." She waved her hand and smiled.
"Bye" Rey also waved his hand and smiled.
...
After a while , some customers entered the cafe, and they ordered Rey to bring them some soft drinks.
Rey then fulfilled their orders , after he finished the orders , he heard some people talking about an interesting topic.
"Hey Sam, do you know that the full dive MMORPG game 'Z force' will support real life currency exchange , it is predicted that the game's currency will devour the whole currency market by 2055 , just one year after its release. There are rumors that people who played the game would experience an increase in brain function and could potentially be used as treatment for disabilities.
"What the ...? For real!? If it's true , then I'm definitely buying it when it's released . Can you tell me it's release date ?" The boy named Sam replied to his friend with a shocked expression.
"Yes... it's release date is January 10th of this year , only 3 days left."
The boy replied to Sam.
"I am definitely buying it! Wait for me Z force!" Sam became extremely happy after hearing the release date.
...
Meanwhile, Rey was focusing on their chat as he was very interested in it.
"I should also buy the game if it can really make money for me , but I have to spend my savings for the game , and what if it's not going to return me as much as I spend , what will I do then?"
He thought to himself.
"But ... It's worth the gamble I guess , I should check the details about it tonight , and then I will think about buying it when it's released."
Rey thought as he started working again.
...
After the clock hit 6 at the evening , Rey called off the day , took a cab and headed towards his home.
After he reached his home , he paid the cab driver and entered his house.
"I should immediately check about the game on Internet after I finish washing up."
After 10 minutes , Rey was sitting on a chair and using an old computer .
He was browsing on the Internet about the game Z force.
So far , he found out that one would feel pain in the game world as well and the rate of the pain feeling was 45% , so if one's hand got sliced inside the game , it was guaranteed that they will feel 45% of the pain , it made the game very much realistic.
Z force online also had real life currency exchange system , so one could exchange in-game money for real currency , and that was the reason why Rey wanted to try the game badly.
The game's price was far off from Rey's 3 months salary, but he wanted to try it at any costs , so he decided to spend some of his savings to buy the game .
"I am going to buy it at any costs , it's worth the gamble . I'm putting all my hopes in it , hopefully it doesn't disappoint me."
"If there is a chance to earn money by just playing a game , what's the problem in giving it a try , and maybe he can also become rich if he worked hard ."
Rey had this specific thought running in his mind right now.
Rey was the type of person who liked handwork, he himself was very hardworking because he had to maintain everything as a teenager without any parents or supporter.
So if the game could be considered a golden chance for him , and he wouldn't let it slip from his grasp.
