{July 30th}
There has been nothing noteworthy in the last month, I have completed the entire game and also brought a server from Amazon to host it on. I also continued to workout in my gym with my bro. I also have contacted multiple youtubers to advertise my game, initially they were hesitant but after the negotiations of price with me having to pay them all couple thousand dollars. The initial 200k was gone, devoured, by the curl and merciless capitalists youtubers.
I really need to rant about it to someone, fortunately for me and unfortunately for Lukas, he is in the direct line of fire. I ranted about my frustration to him for the entire time in the gym. I still remember that after that section he looked like a ghost. Anyway, I released the beta version which is really the real version expect the ai and all. The fan base of the game instantly shot up couple levels as people started to wait for the game to release.
Today is the launch date of the game, I am sitting in my room with my bro as I press the enter key to launch the game. After a few minutes pass by in silence as the game downloads skyrocketed as it reached 500 downloads in few minutes. I stood there looking at the screen that popped up,
[ Congratulations, host. You have gained your first RP Generator: Sky Hopper (5 points/day)]
This told me a few key information, The reputation points I generated did not depend on me showing my face to the public or something but the popularity of my technology. The conversion rate is 100 to 1 reputation point per day. Which is a fair rate.
"Hey, do you know what time it is?" Luke who had been very quiet spoke up, with a smile on his face.
"6:00 pm" I responded with a shrug, this made his smile falter a little but it still help up and said
"What is the the time?" He asked
"6" I answered
"what is the time?" He continued with a smile on his face,
"Are you broken or something? I said it is 6" I said
"what is the time?" He asked almost snickering
"What?" I answered
"It is party time" He answered as he picked up his phone and called a few people, before long we were on our way to a famous dine in restaurants as I said all the food is on me. Although, I spent the entire budget on the game but due to my investments I have much more money than I started with. Currently, I have 500k in bank while 850 in investments.

We ate the food as we talked and I got to know some of them as Luke interduce me too them. There were four of us in total as for introduction, there was Gustav McTavish, or Gus as we call him, a soft-spoken man with a gentle disposition. His round, spectacle-framed face is often the first thing people notice, framing his blue eyes. His hair is a wild tangle of copper curls that refuse to be tamed, and his plump figure is wrapped in a collection of loose, colorful garments that hide his love for sweets.
The other was Riven Castaway. He stands tall with a lean build, boasting pointed ears and green eyes. His sun-kissed skin is a tapestry of scars, A wild mess of sandy hair is present in his head.
I continue to talk to the all through the night as I go to the counter to pay the bill. I saw the same women, I meet in the Starbucks a couple days back.
"It must be fate, miss" I said with a smile, last time my attempt ended in a disaster, but no one said anything about this time. Let try, what will happen I will get rejected by a crush on a girl.
"oh, you are that guy" She remembered me, and replied with a smile. I noticed this as it was of great sign. "Let me guess, try impress me again" she asked.
"I think you are plenty impressed already" I said with a smile, looking into her confidently. I am sure of what I can do, the smile earlier, she remembering me and also the subtle rise in her eyes as we talked told me plenty. Yes, I cheated and put points in psychology and social science. They are both at college level which cost me 75 points all together.
She laughed a little before saying "Are you going to ask me again?"
I heard this and smiled as if knowing what she wanted, I secretly singled my bros with a look of my eyes as they got into position to block anyone who would say anything. It is so much easier pulling up with my bros and it is alone. "Can I get your number?" I asked leaning forward, this show confidence that I have on me but not so much as so she is freaked out but enough to make her more interested. She took a tissue paper and entered and wrote something into it before passing it to me.
I took and paid and left the place with a bunch of disgruntled customers, she is probably going to get fired after this. I just hope she won't blame me for it. Anyway, as we got outside I notice my entire group gave me the eye. "What?" I asked
"She you crush, bro" Luke asked with teasing smile
"Yea, so what?" I asked, looking away.
"Nothing, I also got one of my own. By the way, teach me how to pick her up will you" He asked while looking away too.
"Sure, I got you bro" I said as the Gus and Riven just sighed and wiped their tears away before changing the subject.
