"Let's logout for now" Myles thought to himself.
Currently Myles doesn't have much to do in the game until he reaches his destination. It was going to take him nearly 3 days to reach his destination. Staying online during this time was a waste so he pressed the logout button.
His vision darken a few seconds later and a notification flashed in his retina confirming that he had successfully logged out.
He quickly removed the console from his head and inspected his body. He saw something unusual.
To his surprise, he saw that his body was completely dry devoid of any sweat.
"My body has probably adjusted to using the console" Myles thought to himself.
Nonetheless, he still jumped from his bed and rushed towards the bathroom to freshen up. It took him only a few minutes to freshen.
"I should complete the chores after that I will try to gather some information about the western forest" Myles thought to himself.
With that being said, Myles quickly started to complete one chores after another as quickly as possible.
Three hours later.
Myles was currently washing the dishes. A bell rang throughout the flat just a second later.
"Who could have visited me at this hour?" Myles thought to himself.
Myles didn't have many visitors except his friends. However it was unlikely for them to visit him since they were busy with each other's life. Furthermore, it was eight in the night so it was even more unlikely for him to have any visitors.
"Let's just open the door" Myles thought to himself, suppressing his ominous feelings.
Opening the door was the most simple and straightforward solution. Afterall, at that time it will become clear who had visited him.
So he rushed towards it, opening it up when he got close enough. A look of distressedness and fear descended upon him when he saw who had visited him.
A tall imposing man wearing black suit was standing in front of him. Myles recognized him from a single glance.
"You look rather troubled by my arrival Mr Myles. Won't you invite me in?" The man asked with an onimus smile on his face.
Though Myles wanted to refuse he knew that it would just worsen the situation so he chose against it.
"Come inside" Myles helplessly said
Although Myles looked reluctant to allow him inside. He had no choice but to accommodate him so he led him to the living room.
When they entered the living room, he signaled him to take a seat. The man did as told.
"Would you like some tea or coffee Mr Ashton?" Myles reculatant asked.
"No, let's not waste any time and get straight to the point. You should be aware of the reason behind my visit?" Ashton asked, his voice carrying seriousness.
"Yes I am aware." Myles calmly said, nervousness was clearly visible in his voice.
Myles had taken a loan from Ashton and he wasn't unable to pay the interest for the last 6 months. So the reason behind his visit was obvious.
"You haven't paid me the interest for the last 6 months" Asthon remarked, his voice carrying dissatisfaction.
"Sir I am jobless for the last 6 months" Myles said.
"It doesn't mean that you don't have to pay the interest. You are required to pay regardless if you have an income or not according to the contract" Ashton coldly remarked.
"How will I pay the money if I don't have it in the first place?" Myles said.
"I DON'T WANT TO HEAR YOUR EXCUSES, I WANT MY MONEY AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!!" Ashton exclaimed as he slammed the table.
Myles was shocked by the outburst of Ashton but he quickly regained his composure knowing that he needed to handle the situation carefully.
He carefully planned his next words ensuring that it didn't anger him further.
"Sir, I can't pay the money right now. If you can just give me 3 months more time then I am sure that I am back all your money along with interest" Myles remarked his voice carrying seriousness.
He really meant what he said. He sincerely believed that he could pay off all his time in 3 months if he kept rapidly progressing at Aetheris Online.
However it was another thing if Ashton would agree to give him more time. So far the signs weren't looking promising since Ashton was giving him an intense stare.
With each passing second, the atmosphere grew more tense.
After what felt like an eternity, Ashton finally spoke.
"2 MONTHS! I WON'T GIVE A SECOND MORE TO YOU!" Ashton exclaimed as he raised two of his fingers.
Although, this was less than what he asked. He still believed that paying back all the money he owned was possible at this time.
"I will need to work even quickly" Myles thought to himself
Ashton all of a sudden stood up as he prepared to leave.
"I will be leaving, you better pay in two months or else not only will you lose your flat, I will also put you behind bars. Mind it" Ashton threatened.
With that being said, Ashton walked towards the exit, opening the door when he got close enough and stepping out. Hence, leaving his home.
"Finally he has left" Myles thought to himself as he let out a sigh of relief.
A heavy weight seemed to be lifted from his shoulder upon him leaving. He quickly closed the door and rushed towards his bedroom, collapsing on his bed when he got close enough.
As he laid on the bed, he seemed to have fallen into a deep thought. Anyone could tell by just looking at his face that he was in deep thinking.
"If I had money and power, I won't have to be insulted by him like this" Myles all of a sudden muttered.
If he had money and power would anyone have dared to behave so rudely to him? No!! It would have been the opposite! If he had wealth and power then everyone would fauw him!!
He was very upset due to how rudely Ashton behaved in front of him. A part of him wanted to teach him a lesson but he knew that he was no match to him due to wealth and power.
But there was one simple yet diffcult solution to him.
"With wealth comes power, if I just gain enough wealth then I can stand toe to toe in front of him in terms of both wealth and power" Myles thought to himself, a glint of raging flame was visible at a corner of his eyes.
But it was easier said than done. Earning enough wealth to stand toe to toe with him was very difficult. But all of a sudden Myles made a realization.
"I can earn enough through Aether Online! If I can gain the unique class then I am sure then I can reach a height that only a few are able to achieve in game!!
With the popularity of Aetheris Online, it's just a matter of time before players start to earn billions of dollars by just playing the game!!" Myles exclaimed in his mind, jumping from his bed just a second later
The lifeless look on his eyes disappeared like a lie. It was replaced by a glint of raging flame of determination, hope and belief.
He sincerely believed that he could match or exceed Asthon in terms of both wealth and power in the near future. If he got his hands on the unique class.
After all, furious dragons were ants at a point in their lives. So what stopped him from becoming a furious dragon?
