It was a chilly morning. The bustling city was slowly coming to life on the other hand the people are also starting to wake up from their sleep..

That includes a guy who have a quite thick body.. Not in a GYAAT way but more of a gym body kind of way.

As he stirred from his slumber, he couldn't resist a luxurious yawn, the grogginess giving way as he slowly opened his eyes and stretched his sleepy body.

"Hrrrghhh~~~" The combination of the crisp morning breeze and the satisfying stretch sent shivers of pure ecstasy through him, culminating in a delightful and invigorating sensation."

"GODH DAYUM! That feels good!" he softly exclaimed before staying still.. Contemplating if he should get up or spend a few more minutes sleeping..

Eventually though he slowly got up and started his days.

Later on he could be seen with a towel hanging on his neck. While he wore a black boxer and nothing else. His hair was still a bit damped from his bath and currently, he was brushing hia teeth.

'Ah.. Right.. It's Friday... That mean... We have P.E today... Fuck...' he paused... Sighed, shrugged and got back to brushing his teeth. 'Hmm... Why does it feels like I've forgotten something?'

He didn't need a long time to think about it as he quickly put it aside and just enjoy his day without much worry.

Putting on his uniform with a white shirt underneath. As they have PE today. Once that was complete he then went downstairs slowly and then prepared a bowl for his cereal.

After pouring out almost half the cereal he then retrieve the milk in the fridge and slowly poured it on.

At this moment he have a serious look on his face as he habitually stuck is tongue out a little while putting all his focus in pouring the milk.

And the moment he was waiting for finally arrived.. Without no more hesitation he ordered his hand to pull out.. Only for it to be delayed causing the milk to overflow and spill over the table.

"DAMMIT HANDS!" he cursed as he grabbed the nearby rag to clean it up. And soon he started eating as well.

¦ Researchers observed strange activities in most of the animals in the wil-... Hey you! Drop your gun on the gr-... *BOOM*-..... Are you tired of your hair being all tangl-... So... This is the One Piece huh? Nyehehe it's been a long ride!¦

"Huh.. So they finally found it?" Looking at the man with a tattered straw hat in the TV he couldn't help but feel a deep sense a accomplishment..

"I can't relate that much.. But I bet those old weabos are crying right now..." he chuckled as he grabbed his phone... The date shows 11/19/2942

"I cant believe Oda would passed the anime's original script to his descendants just so they could continue his legacy.. And how the fuck did they manage to stretch that series this far without it becoming boring??"

After talking to himself he just continued watching and ate in silence.. Although he could hear a faint cries coming from his neighbor.

:They finally found it!!! DAD! GRANDAD!! ARE YOU WATCHING THIS?? THEY FINALLY FOUND IT!! HAHAHAHA YOU ALL CAN REST IN PEACE NOW!

"Yup.. Those old dudes are probably going wild now"

Sighing as he finishes his breakfast he then got up but this cause the spoon in his bowl to shake and accidentally fall.

He saw this happen.. And tried to reach out.. But at this point the spoon is already in the ground.. Grumbling he bent down to pock it up and then made his way to the sink.

5 minutes after leaving the house a vive called out to him.

"Raaayy!!!" turning around a second later he noticed his best friend Sam running on his way with his palm in the air with a mischievous look on his face.

"High five bitch!" seeing this, Ray went in focused, he watched as-

*PA!*

A crisp slapped was heard as Sams palm lands right in his face. "Too slow" he giggled. Before high-fiving Rays suspended hand.

"How's your morning, Red Ping?" He giggled again.

"Did you watched it? They finally found Regers Treasure! It was so siiickk!! I for real thought that the treasure would be the experience and their friendship shit.. Good thing it wasn't that... Or all the old timers would have waged war t-"

"I told you not to call me that." Ray interrupted him and added. "And yes.. I've seen it.. I also heard you... And good damm you're loud as fuck"

"Who wouldn't be?? I mean my father and our ancestors have been waiting for that moment!"

"hmm.. Fair.." Ray smiled.. "But you know what's better??" Ray asked with a mysterious smile.

"Wha-.. Wait.... The RELEASE OF ALT-EN!" Realizing this Sam started laughing even harder.

"What a good day! Yes!! A good day indeed!"

12:24 AM.

Currently Ray can be seen in a standing in a wide stance.. The same form one would take if they're playing volleyball.. His body was lowered a little bit, his arms open wide, and hia feet firmly in the ground.

*SWOOOSH!

He saw it... A red ball..

In his eyes it was slowly approaching him. He saw it in advance. And with a thought h-

*PAH!

"pffff WHAHAHAHAH come on guys stop targeting him!" Sam's laughter could be heard as Ray was still in shocked of getting hit straight in the face and is still processing what happened as the balls bounces away.

"He has the least points on all of us.. Can you guys give him a break?" Sam said as he bent down and took the ball.

"Hah! Other than him the rest of your team are pretty hard to hit! And besides this is lile training.. Right Ray?"

"... Yes! Keep it coming I almost got it earlier!" Ray said with a wide grin, "I swear next time I'll be able to get it!"

"You heard him.. And so we will ke-!! *PAH*... FUCK! That's cheating!" Ken exclaimed as he holds his nose with teary eye.

"Cry me rivers WHAHAH-" Sam laughed when he suddenly put his hand infront of him and cought a ball in his direction.

He paused... Before slowly looking up with a wide smile.. "HEHEHE you bastards!"

But instead of throwing it back himself he handed it behind him. "RAY GO GET EM!"

Ray took the ball without question and wind it up without hesitation. "You dont have to tell me twice!"

..

Meanwhile everyone on the opposite team suddenly got serious.. "Remember boys... Just jump in any direction... Chances are.. He'll miss you!" he nervously said. As one of his friends gulp audibly.

..

"HERE I GOO!!" And with a powerful swing, Ray threw the ball with all his strength. Making the ball flew with such ferocity that it turned into a blur.

"TAKE COVER!!" Ken yelled as he jumped. Having the ball pass by over him.

*SWOOOSH!! BAM!!*

The ball traveled and hit the other end of the court and bounces back.. Before stopping..

While the entirety of the opposing team lays on the ground with the hands over their head.. As if someone threw a granade.

"WHAT THE FUCK RAY! ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL US?? PLEASE!! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DONT THROW WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH!"

Another guy named Mac yelled.. He was positioned right behind Ken and also experienced a near death experience.. Which made his reaction understandable.

" What? Like he said.. This is part of the training" Ray giggled as his other teammates laughs and pat him.

"Exactly HAHAHAHAH" Sam laughed

Everyone was laughing when suddenly someone spoke up. "Guys.. I'm just passing by.. And would like to remind you all to please clean up.. Our class have ended already.. And its lunchtime.. You all should eat.. Specially you Ray.. We don't want you passing out again do we.." Their PE coach said as he opened the gym door slightly only for him to peak his head in..

"Yes sir! We're finishing up here anyways" Sam replied.

"Hmm good.. See you all next time" And with that, their coach receded, closed the door and left.

"Let's go guys.. Lets clean up and head to the cafeteria"

"Yeah.. I'm getting hungry anyways"

"Same"

A few minutes later, in the bustling cafeteria, a throng of students bustled about, filling seats and savoring their meals. A symphony of voices reverberated through the room, an overlapping cacophony of cheerful chatter as friends caught up after a long day of classes.

Amidst this lively scene, at a particular table, Ray and his companions gathered, ready to enjoy their meal together.

"So guys... We all know the new game will be launched at 2 o'clock.. You all have your capsule ready?" one of them started.

"Hah.. The moment the Capsule got launched I already told my father to buy me one and I promised to be an honor student.. I mean..Ever since the advertisement 1 year ago was released, I've worked my ass off to get in the honor's just so I can asked for it when it got launched.." Mac said as he pushed his glasses up to fix it. Earlier he didn't wear it in fear that it might get broken if ever he get hit in the face with the ball and maybe even blind him or something.

"Oh shut up nerd, my father literally just made a phone call and made a reservation.. And who would have thought. They even gave me a custom built one.. It looked like a fire Dragon's Egg! Its so fucking cool!!" Ken said with his chin up in pride as he took a bite out of his steak from his lunch box.

"You rich ass brat.. You didn't even work for it" Mac grumbled as he bitterly took a bite out of his peanut butter sandwich.

"It is what it is Whahahah" Ken laughed and asked.

"What about you guys?"

"meh.. It took me my entire savings, and I even took a loan from my sister just to have it installed.. That's about it. As for my loan.. I heard you can actually make money from playing this game by selling in game item i-r-l .. So that's what I'm gonna do.. I'm also thinking of streaming for extra cash.. All in all.. I've invested a lot of shit for this.. I sure hope it lives up to the advertisement they said." Sam said while crossing his arm.

Then he turned his head besides him. "What about you Ray?"

"... Uh... I haven't got it installed yet.. Maybe tomorrow? Or the next day. Or maybe another time?" he paused.

".. My parents are quite busy.. Mom's enjoying her vacation away from her bakery and is out of the country.. And my old man haven't returned from their company's big project yet." Ray laughed awkwardly... And although he was really excited about the game.. He can't really blame his parents.. And he also don't have the ability to buy it himself..

"It is what it is. Hahah" he added with an awkward laugh.

"...."

There was a brief silence in the group when Ken suddenly reaches down to his pockets. "Let me just call my fath-"

"Whoah.. You dont have to.. That shit is expensive.. And we're not shameless enough for that" Sam suddenly stopped him.

"WAIT NO! you don't ha-.... Uhh" Ray said a few moments late only to stop himself when he realized Sam got ahead of him as usual. Seeing this Ken couldn't help but giggle.

"Pff... I still can't get used to your lag" Ken said before going back to the topic. "And also what kind of parents does that.. I mean, I know they're busy but isn't today's your Birthday?"

"... What?... Oh.. OOHH!! Thats what I've been trying to remember!" Ray then finally remembered the thing he was missing this morning..

"..... FUCK! I forgot about that!" Sam face-palm himself..."Uh... I dont have a gift for you... But you can have my lunch tho.." he said before pushing his plates to Ray's direction.

"Don't mind if I do" Ray said before downing his food in mere seconds.

"As for me.. I'll send my gift to you once your ingame.. Just contact me" Ken said casually while eating his steak.

"Uh... I guess ill give mine ingame too?" Mac said. "I'll find some good item to gift you I guess."

"HEHE.. thanks everyone.."

"No problem.. And Happy Birthday dude"
