*snore* *snore*

A young man was sleeping soundly on his bed in a Dimly lit room. It had been more than six hours while the man had slept.

*ring* *ring* *ring*

A phone call woke him up from his slumber and Aditya opened his eyes groggily and sat-up immediately; the first thing he did was to look at his trusty, familiar old clock.

Looking at the time, Aditya was horrified! He was supposed to go and attend his first concert in Jaipur but he had just missed it by half-an-hour mark because he was lazing around and sleeping.

*ring* *ring*

Before Aditya could think any further, he heard the calling again which broke him out of his thoughts. Picking up the phone and clicking on the Answer button, he spoke: "hello!

"stop your b*llsh*ting Aditya; when the hell are you going to learn? I have told you many times not to laze around and focus on your concerts, what were you doing this time, why were you lazing around?" an angry voice which was around fifty-years scolded Aditya from the phone's speaker.

Aditya was glad that he was only talking to this man via phone, because if he would have been in front of him, the man would have torn him into pieces! This was his first Concert after all!

"I AM Ssorry father, I promise you that I will not do this ever again and will always attend my concerts." Aditya spoke to his father in a scared tone. And Infact, he was scared shitless just by hearing his father's voice.

"I don't want to hear your useless explanations. I have only called you to tell you that the first ever VR MMO game, Realm of legends, has come out and needs some players for its beta testing. I want you to leave your projects behind and take part in the test. Is that clear to you?" his father's voice spoke from the phone's speaker.

 "But father, my projects, they are important as they are my only source of income; and also, why are you insisting me so much for this game? What will you get out of it?" Aditya knew his father the best, and could not stop himself from asking this question.

"what do you even have to do with this, but to enlighten you this one time, the game Realm of legends, is launched and produced by my own company, Bhagras gaming enterprise and I want it's promotion as soon as possible. So just do your work and for your kind information Aditya, you will also be playing as a normal player inside the game." Interrupting his father at the same moment, Aditya spoke"

"no way! I am not playing this like those normal players! don't you think that I should get some benefits because I am the son of the head of the Game developers?" Aditya argued in his defense to try to get some freebees.

"don't talk your way out of it. Just obey kid." His father answered.

Aditya knew that he was not going to get anything out of his father so he opted for a better solution to save some money instead.

"I should at least get my gaming pod for free? You should at least give me this right?" Aditya asked, a little bit unsure.

"me and my teem will provide you with the pod. Your job in the game will be to look for anything mysterious and report back to me. We have our staff's playing also but I wanted to test it my own way and without any deceive. However lazy basterd you are, but I know that you are an honest man who will not fall for the hardest of false promises." His father spoke again and this time, his voice was a tiny bit warmer than before as he praised his son in front of him, only a little bit.

Before Aditya could ask any further, his father spoke again:

"your pod has reached your home. Go and get it first. The information about the game will be easily available on any website. Go and scroll it out yourself because I have a lot of work. Take care."

His father spoke and hung the phone up. Aditya went outside and saw that indeed; the pod has actually arrive. He just have to install it now and he would be ready to play the game!
