章 15: Chapter 14 - King Martin V part 2
-King Martin POV-
I started looking around.
'Is this the afterlife?'
Since I'm in the afterlife I was wondering if I went to heaven or hell.
"That's Team Magic!!"
I heard a shout so I looked in that direction and looked at a weird piece of paper hanging on the wall.
"Is that?!"
What I saw on the paper was a weird symbol with 5 people standing in front of it, but what shocked me, was the one standing in the middle of the 5 people.
"Is that Josh?!"
The one in the middle was my son.
'Why is my son on that weird paper? Is he also dead?!'
Thinking that my son also died made me frown.
'Where are they going?'
When I was frowning I saw the people start walking away, so I started following them. In front of us there was a counter with weird stuff on it.
I started listening to what the others were saying since I had no idea what all that stuff was. The more I listened the more curious I got.
'Those things are snacks?'
I was interested in why snacks were in those weird packages, but I was also wondering if I ended up in heaven. After all, I don't think hell will give you free snacks, but it can also be a trap.
'I will just keep following those people'
And so, I started following them inside that weird lobby and into a room with a lot of chairs.
I went to a chair in one of the higher rows.
After I sat down I started listening to the people talk again. Turns out this place was a game.
'So I didn't die?'
I was relieved to know that I didn't die. As a king I'm not afraid of death, if I had to die for my people I would do it in a heartbeat. But even if I don't fear death it doesn't mean I don't want to live.
I wanted to become old with my queen, and see my grandchildren grow up and get married and maybe even see my grand grandchildren.
Not being afraid of death does not mean you do not want to live.
*Lights turn off*
Suddenly the lights turned off and I noticed a timer on a big screen.
'What is it now? Is it a timer for the event?'
By now I understood that this place is an event venue.
When the timer was about to hit 0 a light appeared in one end of the platform and when it hit 0 someone walked into the spot light.
"Who is that?!"
I started sweating a bit, I have met a lot of strong enemies but I have never felt this type of pressure before, it felt as if he is in control of everything, like he can kill everyone here with a thought.
"That's GM!!"
I heard someone cheer near me.
"Who is GM?"
I asked the person next to me.
"Are you new?"
"Yes"
"I see, GM is the creator of computers and games, and also the owner of Game maker coffee shop"
'He created all that? Why?'
I couldn't understand why someone so strong will make stuff like that.
'Is it for entertainment?'
That person might be bored, so he made those games as entertainment for himself.
I thanked the person next to me and continued thinking.
"Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the first ever GMsports"
I started hearing loud clapping noises, snapping me out of my thoughts.
'What is going on?'
"Today, there will be a very special competition, 8 teams will compete to be the champions of this year's GMsports!!"
'What kind of competition?'
I already knew there was going to be a competition from listening to people talk to each other. But after feeling that pressure I couldn't believe it will be a normal competition.
I started listening to everything he was saying.
'That's it? Although it is a good amount of money but it isn't that special, it isn't even a percentage of my vault'
I couldn't believe that someone that powerful will only offer money, so I started thinking about the prizes again.
'Dragon lore AWP prop? Although it has prop in the name it might be some legendary weapon'
When I came to that conclusion I started wondering what type of weapon it is.
"Wooooo!!!"
"Yaaaaaaaa!!"
I suddenly heard loud cheers almost destroying my eardrums.
'What is going on? Is it because of the prizes?'
I was now sure that all those cheers are because of the Dragon lore. Because of everything that happened I forgot that most people here are commoners and for them 1000 platinum is enough for more than a lifetime.
After everyone calmed down I heard GM speak again.
"Now then, let's introduce the teams"
I started looking at the teams and remembering each of the team's names and members.
"Team Magic"
I heard GM introducing a team called Team Magic and looked over, I already knew that my son belonged to that team from the weird papers called posters.
When he introduced my son as the team leader I cheered. After seeing my son I started focusing more on the event and forgetting my previous thoughts.
Time passed and it was time for my son's team to play, at this point I already understood the game called CS:GO, it looks like an interesting thing and those weapons in it are also interesting, I was more thankful that they are just part of a game and not real, it will be a disaster if those weapons become real.
Although they aren't as strong as magic and aura but they can be used by everyone and those AWPs might be able to kill a mage if he wasn't prepared.
But I didn't really think much about it since my son is now playing, seeing his and his team's teamwork I was surprised but also happy, to have such a good teamwork you need to have absolute trust in each other.
'I'm happy for you son, you finally have what you wished for'
I felt my eyes becoming moist, I knew my son wanted friends since he was a child but he was never able to get any because all of the ones that got close to him did so for benefits or because they were forced by their parents.
"Yessssssssss!!!"
When my son's team won I cheered to the point my throat hurt.
"Rematch, there needs to be a rematch!!"
And when he lost I almost called the army and forced a rematch.
But I stopped myself when I saw my son smiling and congratulating the other team.
'Forget it, if he is happy then it's fine'
After that was the prize presentation outside of the game, when I saw my son smiling and laughing with his friends I wanted to go and hug him but I held myself back.
'You finally have the happiness you wished for, I'm happy for you son'
And so I turned to the exit and left. I'm still a king and have a lot of work left at the palace.
'Mary is going to kill me for skipping my work'
And then I started running to get back as fast as I can before my wife notices.
-Tony's POV-
I already noticed the king inside the theater, his emotions were all over the place, one time he was pressured and then he was suspicious, then after Team Magic appeared all of those emotions disappeared and turned into love and affection.
When they won it was filled with happiness and when they lost it was filled with sorrow and regret that quickly turned into happiness and affection again.
When he left at the middle of the presentation I saw both cheerfulness and happiness but it quickly turned into nervousness and he started running away.
'What a weird person'
He was weird but he was also a good father, and honestly, I was jealous of Josh, I didn't have parents or any family in my previous world, I didn't even have friends, I was alone for most of my life. So I was envious of having such a loving father.
'Oh well, can't do anything about it'
And then I forgot about it and started thinking what anime I should watch today.
