Chapter 2 - Infinity online

Infinity online. The most mysterious virtual game of all-time... And why's that? It's because nobody knows nothing about the game. Then why is it on top sale you ask?...

Three weeks ago, Mr. President called for an interview with the press, and at the interview he said "Three weeks from now, a virtual game is going to be launched in all countries around the world. It'll be hard to differentiate between the game and in real life, the game will be played through an advanced gaming pods which will be out for sale soon, and because this game will be the future of mankind, everyone is required to get a pod regardless of age or status... It's name is infinity online".

And with that, he got off the podium and was escorted away by his entourage, ignoring the questions thrown at him by the reporters.

The most shocking thing about this game is that not only did Mr. President announce it... It was also announced by other president's worldwide, and today... was the day announced to launch the advanced gaming pod in all the registered game shop.

I just got to the nearest game shop and saw a queue as long as the Great wall of China. 'seriously!!?' after all I did to get here on time.

I started to wrack my brain for a solution, cause I've got to get this pod today!! Infinity online was going to get launched at three midnight... Weird.

I didn't bother standing behind the line cause it'll just be a waste of time. The pods were limited and only those at the front will get have theirs today.

I eyed those at the front of the queue and a nerdy looking guy among them caught my eye, I quickly got an idea and smirked to myself. I went behind the game shop, into an alley where trash were dumped and found a portable looking slim pipe.

Just what needed.

I broke off a palm length size from it and stuffed it into my jackets front pockets, pulling up my hood with my two hands stuffed into my jackets pocket with the slim pipe. I walked out of the alley and approached the nerdy looking guy with my heads down.

I got close to the nerdy guy holding one end of the slim pipe in my right palm which was still in my jackets pocket and poked the other end from my jackets pocket to point at nerdy guy making it look like I was holding a pistol in my pockets.

The nerdy guy who saw this started to tremble, thinking that I was pointing a gun at him. He was about to say something when I interrupted "sshhh, step out of the line and we wouldn't have a problem" I said in a low tone, making my voice sound hoarse.

The nerdy guy nodded while stepping back, and ran as far away as he could get from me. I quickly stepped into the line, grinning at myself. People around were confused at why the nerdy let someone else step into his line and ran off.

I pulled up my hood and waited for my turn which came fifteen minutes later. I stepped into the game shop and walked over to the counter. There was a tired looking guy behind who asked monotonously "infinity gaming pod?" Which I nodded to.

He pulled out a sheet from a pile of printed paper's and handed it over to me. I scanned the sheet and learnt it was an ownership document, which I filled in with the corresponding information and signed.

Because the the pods were large and heavy, it'll have to be waybilled to the buyer and installed by delivery guy. I took out my credit card and waved it above me to complete the transaction while submitting the form back to the guy.

Technology is so advanced now that you just have to wave your credit card above you for the detection system which was installed just above the counter, and you'll get debited for the goods you wish to purchase.

Feeling satisfied with the way I handled things, I strolled out of the game shop while beaming a smile and that was when I heard "sir... That's the guy.. t-that threatened me with a gun".

I felt my heart skip when I heard that and quickly turned around. Seeing the nerdy guy pointing at me with two police men behind him, I quickly broke into a sprint. Running into the same alley which I got the pipe from.

It was a dead end.

I quickly ran up to the high iron fence which blocked off the alley and jumped as high as I could to get a grip on the top, which I did successful. Then I pulled myself up and over, landing lightly on the other side. And from there I zoomed off.

I had a friend back in the states, who was into parkour tricks. He taught me alot, which is getting handy these days. And as for why I ran from the police even when I had no weapon on me... That's because my parents are both in the states busy with work.

So they sent me as far as they could from the states because I was a huge distraction to them by getting into trouble with the police on daily basis and also to keep me away from my gang of friends who they thought were into drugs as I was their only child.

So... I live here alone with no relatives, which is the best thing I could ever ask for.
