Zhang Zian decided to continue the pet store until he couldn’t support it anymore. His parents had loved pets very much. If they were looking down from heaven, they would be sad to see the store go.

Although it was a good wish, he knew nothing about running a pet store. There was a first time for everything, though; he believed he would find a way, one step at a time. 

His first goal would be relatively small—to establish a solid footing in the city. 

He had a big breakfast at a street vendor and felt energized. He returned to the store, moved the cages and display cases out, dusted with a broom, soaked the mop in disinfected water, and mopped the floor until it was nice and shiny. He moved the cages and display cases back after the floor had dried.

He also wanted to renovate the store, but he gave up on that thought after realizing the shortage in cash flow.

When he was cleaning the store, some neighbors walked by and expressed their sympathies for his loss. Some neighbors didn’t know him and just looked at the cages and display cases with curiosity.

When the sun started to rise, he finished cleaning. All the dust and odors were completely gone, leaving only the fresh scent from the disinfecting water. It smelled just like before.

His parents had always taught him to keep a clean mind and live a clean life. 

He had gotten all sweaty from cleaning the store. He moved the reclining chair to the door and rested for a few minutes. 

Now that he had decided to take over the pet store, there had to be some paperwork to handle. First, he needed to change the owner’s name from his parents to his name on the business license. He was not familiar with the procedure, so he started researching online using his cell phone.  

"I have to go to the notary’s office. So much work!"

In order to inherit and transfer the pet store to his name, he needed to get an inheritance notarization using his ID card, the deed for the pet store, and his parents’ death certificates.

Zhang Zian always tried to avoid dealing with troublesome matters like that because he hated them. He was not even sure how he made such an irrational decision like inheriting the pet store.

He wanted to have a fresh mind and pull himself together. No matter how sad he was, he should not show his tears to the customers.

He opened the app store in his cell phone and started a search with "pet" as a keyword. He wanted to see if there was an app which would teach people how to run a pet store, although deep in his mind he didn’t think he would be able to find it.

Umm, what was that?

A game with a "limited time download" sign showed up in the search results.

Some apps and software were free for a limited time, but this was the first time he ran into something tagged "limited time download."

"<Pet Hunter>?"

[Game Description]: This is a magical game! You can capture real or virtual pets in this game. You can even capture mythical creatures and turn them into your faithful friends or partners! Download now and run towards the sunset, young man!

Ha!

He laughed. He achieved his goal to freshen up his mood. 

Exaggerating! This was way over the line!

It might be possible to capture virtual pets, but how was it possible to capture a real pet with a cell phone? It even mentioned capturing mythical creatures... Unbelievable!

There was a countdown next to the game, showing that there were only 00 hours, 00 minutes, and 49 seconds left to download.

"Let’s see if this really is a ‘limited time download’!"

He hit the "download" button, and the download shortly reached full speed. 

This game was pretty large. Hopefully it wasn’t a virus!

He hesitated. When he was about to cancel the download, it showed "download completed!" on his cell phone.

Almost at the same time, the downloading page disappeared. The app store went back to the home page automatically. 

He put the keyword "pet" in the search bar again.

"Oh really?! Nothing?!"

The result showed nothing was matching his keyword. 

He didn’t want to give up yet. He added "hunter" after "pet" as keywords, but still nothing came up.

"This game is really a limited time download… What does the developer want?" he murmured to himself, confused.

Developers made games for marketing. The more players there were, the broader the influence. The broader the influence, the more money the game would make. Even free games earned reputation for the developer. Limiting the time to download meant limiting traffic. Who would do something like that? 

A dialogue popped up on his cell phone: Install? 

He chose "Yes."

Installing…

Installation completed. "Confirmed" or "Open"?

He chose "Open."

Initiating game…

The logo of "Pet Hunter" showed up on the screen.

[Game Hint]: This is an augmented reality game. It requires you to turn on your mobile camera and needs your location information. 

[Game Hint]: This is your first time entering the game. Please register an account. 

[Game Hint]: "Register for free" or "Have an account? Log in immediately."

He chose "Register for free."

[Game Hint]: To ensure user uniqueness and login safety, we need to record your fingerprint. Please place your finger in the fingerprint recognition area and record from different angles as per the instructions. 

"Record fingerprints?! What if it’s a scam…" He frowned.

He used the fingerprints on his right hands for online banking. Just in case it was a scam, he used his left hand to record the fingerprints. 

[Game Hint]: Fingerprint recorded successfully. Logging in automatically…  

The background looked like the deep dark night. A shining white light was jumping lightly.

[Navigation Elf]: Hello! Welcome to Pet Hunter’s World. I am your navigation elf.

[Navigation Elf]: I will try my best to assist you throughout the game. I hope that we can experience an extraordinary adventure together. 

The sudden voice caught him off guard. He almost threw away his cell phone. 

[Navigation Elf]: If you encounter any problems during the game, feel free to contact me!

"Ugh, is it the customer service representative? How do I contact her…I don’t see where to input words…" Zhang Zian was speaking to himself, feeling confused. 

[Navigation Elf]: You may speak to me!

"Really?! You can hear me?!" he asked, once again surprised. 

[Navigation Elf]: Yes! I can hear you nice and clear!

"OMG! This is a 24-hour one-on-one customer service representative! No wonder the download was limited…" He shrugged his shoulders and thought, "This game must be high in costs. How come I didn’t see the developer’s name… What is it? Hiding from fame?"

[Navigation Elf]: This is your first login. Before launching the game, would you like to go through the beginner tutorial? Alternatively, you may skip the tutorial and start immediately.

"What’s your recommendation? Is this game difficult?" he asked.

[Navigation Elf]: You are unable to save your state during the game. For a better experience, I recommend you take the beginner tutorial. 

"Okay, whatever you say. Let’s start the beginner tutorial," he said. 

[Navigation Elf]: Beginner tutorial starting, retrieving data…

2. Catch a few magical pets as partners

"Althea anak, wait up"  habol na sigaw ni Tito Andrei kay Nerd. 

Althea pala name nya.. owwkii.. 

It seems na hindi rin sya payag sa kasalang ito, hayst buti naman. 

"Tsk, why you didn't tell me earlier ha? Dad, Mom? tsk. Susundan ko sya" medyo inis na sabi ni Adrian kay tito at tita, bumaling naman ito kay Mom. 

"Mauna na po ako Tita Veronica, susundan ko lang po si Althea" magalang na sabi nya kay Mom, lumingon naman sya sakin, tumango na lang ako at tuluyan na syang umalis.

"Ah mauna na rin po ako, marami  pa po akong plates na kailangang tapusin"  basag ko sa katahimikan. 

Tumayo na ko at tumango na lang sa kanila. 

Tuloy tuloy ang lakad ko hanggang sa makalabas ng gate nila.

Lutang akong pumara ng taxi, hanggang ngayon hindi parin ako naniniwala sa mga narinig ko.. 

Maaring prank lang 'to, o talagang pinagtitripan lang nila ako.. tsk lagi na lang. 

'With my son iha, with HERBY. You will marry him', takte umulit ulit sa isip ko ang mga sinabi ni Mom.. Aiishh

 ------------------------------------

Nang makarating ako sa bahay, agad akong pumasok sa kwarto. 

Naligo ako ulit, pagkatapos ay nagsimula ng mag shade ng Gazette plates ko.. pasakitan na naman to ng kamay. 

Hayst ang pangit talaga ng araw ko, yung ang dami dami ng plates na hinahabol ko tas idinagdag pa yung kasal kasal na yan.. 

Pero bakit nga ba? 

Alam ni Mom? 

At alam din ni Kuya, kaya pla ganun na lang mga pinagsasabi nya .

Nakuu naman!!  

Hanggang ngayon ba uso pa rin yang mga arrange marriage na yan?? 

Pero bakit ako? bata pa ko, diba dapat si Kuya na lang. 

"Potaaa" sambit ko nung lumagpas ang ink sa isang letter ng gazette ko.. 

Aiisshh badtrip nadumihan pa.. 

Tiningnan ko ang hawak kong ballpen.. takteee 0.5 pala ito kaya mabilis kumalat, nakakaasar naman sa sobrang pag iisip dun sa sinabi nilang yun, muntik ko pang masira tong lintek na gazette na to, na halos ilang araw ko ng pinagpupuyatan. 



Itinigil ko muna ang pagshi-shade ng may marinig akong tunog ng sasakyan sa baba, nakauwi na ata sila. 

Tumingin ako sa wall clock  nasa tapat ng flat screen tv. 

Oh? 3:09 pm.. almost 2 hours na pala akong gumagawa dito, pero hindi ako makapag-focus king ina ang dami kong naiisip.. 

 --------------------- 



Bumaba ako para kumuha ng meryenda nakaramdam kasi ako ng gutom, at tsaka hindi ako makapag fucos baka masira ko lang ang Gazette ko at umulit ako sa umpisa. 



Naabutan ko si Hope na nakaupo sa sofa habang nagbabasa ng libro.. book lover talaga tong batang 'to, ni hindi manlang naramdaman presensya ko.. 

Dumeretso na lang ako sa kusina at nandun si Manang Lory, nagluluto ng--- 

Hmmmmm!! ang bango naman nun.. nakakagutom lalo. 

"Nang Lory pancake ba yan?" tanong ko habang sinisilip kung may luto na ba. 

Hehehe kakain na lang ako kesa ma-stress 

"Ah, oo iho, lika may luto na ko dito" sagot nya habang kumukuha ng platito at pinaglagyan ako. 

Agad ko naman itong kinuha at lumapit sa ref. para kumuha ng ready to drink juice.. 

"Sige, Nang Lory akyat na po ako" sabi ko habang dala dala ang meryenda ko, umakyat na ko sa kwarto.. 

Binuksan ko ang TV para manonood ng Tom and Jerry.. 

Oh bakit?? 

Hindi porket gwapong lalaki ako, eah hindi na ko pwedeng manood ng Tom and Jerry.. 

Tsk favorite cartoon ko yan, and its one of my stress reliever. 

Nai-stress ako sa mga nangyayari.. 

Tawang-tawa ako kay Tom kasi lagi na lang syang naiisahan ni Jerry, ito ang nagpapatunay na huwag nyong masyadong minamaliit ang mga maliliit kasi kung minsan sila pa yung nagwawagi sa huli.. 

"Nak ng, WAHAHAHAHA ang changa mo Chom, Nyahahahaha"  todo tawa ko habang nginunguya ang huling subo ng pancake na dala ko.

"Son? can I come in?" si Mom habang kumakatok sa kwarto ko. 



Inabot ko naman ang remote at pinatay ang Tv, tumayo ako mula sa pagkakaupo sa kama at lumapit sa pinto para pagbuksan ito. 

"What do you need Mom?"  seryosong tanong ko kay Mom, kasi pumasok ulit sa isip ko yung nangyari kanina. 

"Can I talk with you?" mahinahon na tanong nya.. 

Tumango lang ako at nilawakan ang bukas ng pinto, pumasok naman sya at deretsong umupo sa harap ng study table ko..  

Habang ako naman ay lumapit sa mga materials ko na ginagamit ko kanina para sa gazette inayos ko muna iyon at inilagay sa mesa. 

"Yung about sa kanina"  umpisa ni Mom, nilingon ko naman sya, 



Hindi ako nagpakita ng kahit na anong emosyon sa mukha ko.. Ito ang pinaka ayaw nya sa akin, nagmumukha daw akong cold guy, mas pipiliin pa raw nya ang pagiging childish ko at maingay kesa rito. 

"Son please, do this for us. Marry her to save our company." malumanay na pakiusap ni Mom habang hinahawakan ang dalawa kong braso.. 

The fuucckkk?? 

Seryoso talaga sila, tangna ayoko pang matalii at takte lang dun pa sa nakakadiring nerd na yun.. hayyst 

"Pero mom bata pa ko, hindi pa nga ako graduate sa bachelor ko oh, at tsaka bakit ako? Why not kuya Harry?" medyo naiirita kong tanong, pano ba naman kasi bakit kailangan pang ako? eah may kuya naman ako.. 

"No son, ikaw ang gusto ng pamilya Dizon. At tsaka what's the problem with Althea? she's pretty" malumanay parin na paliwanag ni mom.. 

And whaaaat?? Pretty?? 

Seriously? Pretty ang tingin nya dun sa babaeng yun? May makapal na salamin sa mata, naka brace na ngipin at tsaka ang pananamit like ewww.. Mas mukha pa akong babae kesa sa kanya kung manamit.

"Marry her to save our company'"

 COMPANY? 

BAKIT? 

KELAN PA? 

Anong nangyari? 

Nalilito ako, hindi ko alam kung ano ang una kong itatanong. Natahimik ako ng ilang minuto bago nag-umpisang magtanong.

"Kelan pa Mom?" tanong ko sa kanya, 

"Ha? A-alin ang kelan pa?" balik tanong nya sakin.. 

"Tsk, kelan pa nalulugi ang kompanya? bakit? paanong nangyari??" sunod sunod kong tanong sa kanya, napayuko na lang sya.. 

Haayysst so they plan this shit ng wala akong kaalam alam..  



"Sorry, Son. Bigla nalang bumaba ang sales ng company, at ang company budget ay lumiit narin, kaya hindi tayo makapag-produce ng mga materials para tumaas muli ang sales natin" paliwanag ni Mom. 

Muling sumakit ang ulo ko.. napapikit nalang ako.. 

Bakit ako ang kailangang magsakripisyo??

"At inalok ako ng tulong ng family Dizon, tutal ninong mo naman si Andrie, I accept it, not knowing na may kapalit pala.. Im so sorry son, but you need to marry her" pagpapatuloy ni Mom, maging sa kanya ay labag rin ito.. 

Umiiyak sya.. hayst 


"Shhh Mom dont cry", pag aamo ko sa kanya habang yakap yakap.. bahagya pa itong humihikbi. 

Wala na bang ibang paraan?  

Shiiittt ayoko pang magpakasal.. 

Pero ano pa nga ba magagawa ko? Wala akong alam sa field ng pagne-negosyo, bakit kasi kailangan pang umabot hanggang dito? 

Hindi ko makakayang makita na unti unting bumabagsak ang negosyong pinaghirapan ni Dad nung nabubuhay pa ito.. 



Nakasalalay din dito ang kinabukasan naming magkakapatid, hindi ko ma-imagine ang buhay namin kung babagsak na lang ito. 

Kaya ko namnag magtiis pero ang makitang nahihirapan si Mom at Hope ay hindi ko maatim.

I need to talk to her.u

Uggh..!! fuck this life. 

I need to fucking sacrifice my own sake for our company's sake..

John Herby Melecio, lalaking in denial sa lahat ng bagay, palaging nakikipagtalo sa sariling utak, tuwing taliwas ang iniisip nito sa gusto nyang mangyari. At nakatali ang puso sa dati nyang kababata na ngayon ay wala na syang balita.



Athea Marthalyn Dizon, literal na Maria Clara ng panahon, mas malala pa ata. Eah pano ba naman kasi hindi mo  mawari kung tibo ba ito o sadyang conservative sa kanyang pananamit. May malalaking salamin sa mata, braces sa ngipin, mahabang palda na abot hanggang talampakan at tinernuhan ng malaking jacket na may hood, weird right? try to imagine how disgusting it. NERD!! Pero kahit na ganun, may boyfriend sya. Yun nga lang patago ang relasyon nila. 
'Para naman ito sa ikabubuti mo' yan ang palaging sinasabi ng boyfriend nya.


Pano kung isang araw paglaruan sila ng tadhana? Matatanggap kaya ni Herby na mapalitan ang nilalaman ng puso nya, at mahulog sa isang "TITIBO-TIBONG MARIA CLARA" ? Ngunit paano naman sya nito masasalo gayung may minamahal na ito? 

'Nagmahal,
Nasaktan,
Nag-ayos,
Ipinagkasundo,
Anong kinalabasan???'

So, a customer called me over the phone and asked me on what is the best antivirus he should get, which would protect his PC from getting hacked.

I recommended Kaspersky Internet Security and I said to him that he has to pay for it.

"Pay for it?" he says... "That's stupid."

I told him; "You pay for protection, you pay for its price."

"Why should I pay for an antivirus when I can get for free?"

I explained the beneficial difference of paying for an antivirus that has all the security features and having a free antivirus. Of course, there is some free antivirus that you can upgrade for premium features like the Big Triple A's (in reference to Avira, Avast, and AVG).

He says "Ok. I will just download from torrent."

Hours later, he calls back to tell me that Kaspersky is a bad antivirus program. He explains that it did not do its job even for a pirated copy. Because, he explains that everytime it updates... It gets a notification every 5 seconds that Kaspersky is not working. Do take note that when you download a pirated copy of Kaspersky, it would definitely do that.

So, I told him that he should reinstall it instead or buy a license key. And he said he doesn't want to buy. He wants to get it for free and ranted at me angrily that I should install it (the pirate copy of Kaspersky) for him. I explained that "even if I installed it and you pay me, I rather let you buy the software (antivirus with Internet security features) instead because they're of the same price".

He ended the call afterward. Not one word heard from him again about this issue. Either he paid for the program or probably went to buy an Apple Macintosh.

And if you ever wondered why I am very hesitant to install the pirate software he provided, it's because I am pretty sure he is sure ready to shift the blame on me.

If you feel down and work in customer service or similar, this book has all the compilations of my experiences of being a computer technician, a former profession that I have always been into. But most of the names are either marked out or just modified. The stories are mostly what I have experienced either terrifying or just humored in some way that whether I understood the customer or not. Regardless, I hope you find it funny in its own way.

While many players were waiting for the timer to end, in the "Evolutioners" office, staff were extremely busy.
15 more workers had been recruited by Fei Hong in the past month. 5 of them for office work and 10 were for server and game monitoring team.
They were all busy typing and making final arrangements for the launch of the game.
The game monitoring team was given access to the server but they were only allowed to access the game data and minor programs.
They had no access to the core algorithm program.
The main thing they had to do was to answer the question of the player and fix some minor problems faced by them.
There were no bugs in the game as it was optimized by the library and test run by Qing.
Though Qing could monitor and do all this stuff easily, Fu Yan did not want to expose her so he let Fei Hong hired a team for these minor problems.
All the workers in the office were told that they were just a second-team as the main developer team was working from somewhere else.
Fei Hong did not ask questions and did as she was told by Fu Yan.
She knew he had a reason to do so and would tell her later.
Everything was proceeding smoothly and the countdown entered the final hour.
Players were already flocking the website.
The game software was only 1Gb in size and these just some files that were needed to connect to the cloud platform and some minor stuff.
Fu Yan thought about this problem a lot and even used some technologies from the library to make it perfect.
The main thing was to allow users to play not let them see the data and how the game was working.
He knew that many internet companies were staring at this game launch because of the technology promised and if users were allowed to download full game, these companies would crack it eventually no matter how advanced the technology is.
He did not have the power to protect himself and the technologies yet so he would rather play safe.
                                       ...
Tang Qin was also staring at the countdown on the download button.
Finally, the countdown entered the last 10 seconds.
He stared at it and counted.
8
7
6
5
4
3
2
1..
And then he started to spam the download button.
Many would say why he spammed when he could download it eventually, That was because when are hundreds of users trying to download a file, it would eventually lag and he won't be able to download it till an hour later.
But to his surprise, the file started to download immediately and the speed was not slow.
He was not the only one surprised, all the users who tried to download did not face any difficulty.
Everything proceeded as planned.
Some users were doubting the game because the size of the file was only 1Gb and the game promised very high-end graphics.
Tang Qin was also doubting it but he still downloaded it and ran the program.
He got prompt that the program was installed and he could launch it.
He ran the program and a beautiful interface popped up.
He started to enter the details that were asked.
First, he had to enter an account name and his age.
After filling all this he was asked to enter a mobile number for verification.
He verified it and created an account.
After this, the game was launched.
He was taken to a character creation page and he created his character. He was again asked to verify his age.
"What verify my age, what the hell is this. How can I verify my age."
Just when he was thinking this, he was asked whether the game could access his camera.
He allowed it and the camera opened.
A message popped up on the game page.
"To allow the user to experience the best entertainment in-game and provide security for the account, you can use the face lock function for the game. It is used to lock an account to a face and it can be transferred if you want."
Tang was amazed after reading this message.
He looked at the camera for 5 sec as it was asked by the game and a message popped up again.
"Face has been bound to the account. Age confirmed. 18 years old. Thanks for choosing to play our game. For a better experience, we suggest you chose a profession that you like to be in real life. Enjoy."
Fu Yan added this technology at the last day. He saw it when he was browsing books in the library and was being trained by old Shun about how to handle and do different things in the library.
After thinking a bit, Tang chose an alchemist as his profession because he wanted to be a chemist in real life.
After doing all this, the screen changed again and his character was standing in a field.
He controlled his character and moved around. The movements were fluid and the graphics looked real.
It was as if he was watching a real-life recording. He could see the individual leaves of a tree and tiny strands of grass.
The grass swayed with the wind and cloth fluttered naturally.
"Wow, This game is too real."
He ran towards a tree and kicked it. The trunk shook a little and leaves fell.
He tried to climb the tree by moving a little but fell halfway but it showed that his movements were not restricted in-game.
Even the way his character fell, looked natural.
He wondered.
"How much resources and programing was used to make this game real"
"These graphics are top class then my PC should have been boiling right now but even the cooling fan is not running."
He looked at the PC resources being used and it was not even 30%.
So this what you call the best graphics and freedom in-game but why are they giving the best graphics for free. I think I saw something about paid to get good graphics.
A message popped up again on the side of the window.
"For new users, they can enjoy the top-class graphics and all professions for 2 days. After 2 days monthly subscription is needed to play all professions and to enjoy the best graphics. Users can still play normal versions of the game with fewer graphics free of cost."
Tang nodded upon seeing this message and looked at the price for the monthly subscription and to his surprise, it was just $15/month, $75 / 6 month and $130/year.
"I think I can afford this game but it might be high for some people. If you see the graphics and cloud gaming service they provide, it cheap too cheap."
He was streaming the whole session from the start to the end.
The chat was bombarded with comments.
Many who had not downloaded the game, after seeing the stream rushed to download it and play.
The whole gaming community was boiling after the game was released.

I am at a Room It is brightly lit  with a lamp at the bedside and some filament tubes at the ceiling. The Room is big and gorgeously decorated with pictures and decrations .The walls are painted blue which gives one a feeling of serenity. It is a Five starred hotel room. I can know this by seeing the Paper which is on the table.

The Hotel name is Blue Ocean which truly is a good name.

I look at my smartphone  black screen with a twitching lips as if this is the reason I'm here.

" Ahh..I need to look what is the situation outside and assess it to know my current condition."

I walked up to the window which is at the right side of the bed... I look outside of the window below and found people running away  a group of other people like they were in some murderous chase.

The people who were running at front were fear stricken as confused what is going on.

I look down squinting my eyes and saw that the people who were chasing behind were slow on their feet but they were still relentless.

Suddenly one male figure fell down hitting something and I could see him being trampled
by the others. After some time the fallen figure rolled around and stood up with mangled hands which was limping and continued walking joining the chasing crowd.

I saw this scene and I know that I am in an apocalyptic era.

Let's get to how I got here again.
.....
...
....

My Name is Amar ,19 year old.. Thought I live a middle class life in this country. Education I have.. Now I am at my college doing business management study. I don't know why I am even studying here. I was since small  told that education is necessary to find a job . So I thought I needed to study but after graduation from school I realize it was never enough.

As time went on Expenses would increase and I had to look for a part time job.

I taught tution and work part time in stores. But still enduring on. Family could support me but at a high cost. 

Now this year there's a Pandemic. The whole world is infected with a virus.
Work rate dropped and Income dropped. Still we have a government who cut off their own expenses so they could feed the needy.

I am at home during this quarantine. What I am doing is what every other normal adult in Modern world would do. 
Work from home..? 
Nah Nah..

.
.
It is to play PUBG.

I was playing PUBG. Reaching Ace. An achievement was it?. Actually No, It isn't. 

Now Ace players are like a herd of sheeps.
 
But what I am talking here is not about the game but my mishap. I was playing PUBG while charging the game started with and intense match. All other every player landed in one place . My game crashed and the phone couldn't support it. The overload blew up my charger and I dropped my Phone.

I was scared shitless. Damn My phone... I was scared AF ..I tried to On but it didn't ..I pressed for a long time and finally it switched On but there was no main menu as it was stuck on recovery Mode screen..

The update started coming in.. I was now a bit calm.. Still I look at my charger and cursed my negligence for not taking care of my phone well. I'll never do that ever again.

The update finished after 5 minutes which left me happy.

I look up at the main page screen but I was flabbergasted as to what is this thing.

" Where are all my apps.. And what kind of theme is this.. Oh wait there is one app ...hmm it's an App store.. Well I guess I'll download PUBG again..."

I opened the app store and lots of paid apps were there but nah I am not buying these.. I don't even buy things inside game. Why would I buy these.!

I looked for where the search menu is but I found None.

There was no search menu.

' What do I do now.! Does this thing have any customer service.. Seems like the new update Appstore is fully bugged.'

Amidst this lockdown I don't think I can find any customer care.

Ahh..!

I left the phone to get the spare charger..

I looked around the house to eat something. My mother was watching T.V.. Sister was busy 
with Phone..

I look inside fridge took out the butter and spread it on the bread..
Damn why keep the butter in the fridge. It get hard.
I would like to say it loud but I hesitate I'll be scowled.

I went back to my room.. It is small with a bed and a table with books stacked up on one another and clothes hanged on the walls.

No wardrobe.

It just like living in a Storage room.

But still the smaller the room..The comfortable I feel.. Things are most of the time at my hands reach which truly makes an Ideal lazy life.

I look at the phone and a notification popped up.

Limited time free Game.!
Download Now and Play to win Rewards.

I look at the Ad in my notification bar and clicked to see what kind of rewards program it speaks about.

I look at the App. The price was at around 99 GC  but it was free for now.

I saw the price and feel like it is a scam or a virus implanting methods.

People nowadays would download weird Apps and their personal information are leaked and all their information get revealed to the one behind the scene.

After that calls would keep on coming disturbing the victim. Telling they won a lottery, or other various methods. Some would be hook.

In this country, People are too naive.. Money does lead people to destruction.

I look at the app description and saw that it provide game coupon code.. 
I saw this and had second thoughts.

If I get this I can buy the skins and flex or just sell the code to others.. Hahaha.

I look at the app and tapped download. I did not need to worry about my personal information as I don't even have those recorded here.. And if they call me and if  its an unknown number I'll just block it.

How much can they persist right. 

If you don't give them an opportunity they won't even be able to scam you.

I looked at the download bar it went to 2% then straight to 100%

I just felt that the game was not even fully downloaded. It just went from 2 to 100 in a matter of seconds.

Maybe I need to download the additional files first then it will show its original size.

Ron opened the game and saw the loading screen. It took more than 10 minutes to open the game.

I had the patience because of playing PUBG. Well In last zone it is who has the most patience can survive so I had build up. But 10 minutes was still the most I could hold on.

A game screen showed up showing the title card. 
Rules of the Apocalypse World.
          Tap to continue
I touched my screen and it took me to a menu.

It told me to give it permission to open the camera so It can take my face picture.

My picture was taken and I was shown the character Interface.

 I'm impressed waiting for 10 minutes. This character Interface is so realistic ..
'Ahahahah, My face... Woah , that body.. Quite the nice build. Let me morph my face to suit it.'

Seems I look quite pleasing with that kind of body. I would sign-up for gym soon after this lockdown.

The character Interface is showing me in a  empty Room with a whit background.

I was in love with interface and was looking forward to playing this game.

I equipped my character with a black suit from Hitman. Except for not having a bald head.

There were sets of other clothes but they had to be paid with in-game currency known as ZP which I had none. Some free dresses were there so I picked this black suit.

Now let's see the weapon rack..
I look at the weapon selection screen and there was only a crowbar and a baseball bat.
The others were locked and had to be paid.

I reluctantly picked the crowbar and went for gene formula section. 

The description says that these are gene formulas. One could buy the recipe but had to collect the ingredients himself and make it.
 Only one recipe was free  while other had to bought with GC.. I had my confusion as to what GC was but It seems it had its own other system of currency.

After selecting the basic gene enhancing Formula I pressed start.

The Tutorial started playing...I looked at it the graphics were decent..I had no interest and skipped it.

I will see it when I am bored of playing.

The loading screen showed up and I saw the gameplay trailer.

Damn what kind of engine does this work on.

The zombies look so realistic. Even those zombie movies CGI would fail with this game one..

The Loading screen disappeared and some terminal screen showed up in the display.

Log.
Day 1

Saving file ...Check point save...

Loading Save file...

I got excited waiting for the game the next second the screen went black and I got confused..
Where is the promised gameplay....
What a bore... Seems the game crashed.. I dropped the phone on my bed and look at the ceiling...

The ceiling had a filament tube which made me confused for time being..

Was there a filament here in my room.

I jerked up to look left and right and I was shocked to see my surrounding fully changed.

This not not the scene which he had seen a hundred times in a day but it was a lot different. I looked around truly Panicked thinking what happened and then out of a blue a blue screen popped out in front of my vision.

Basic Task.
Collect Edible supplies from the Hotel to survive for a day.

Progress: 0/1

Failure Penalty: Debuff 40% of Host Ability for 24 Hours.
...

I was startled with the things happening around me. I looked at the blue screen.

' Have I acquired Some cheat system or something.'

I sit down to think what was the cause of this.  I look at the Phone at the bed picked it up  but it did not Switch On.

I sit down to organise my Thoughts calmly.

Be calm and thing will be fine.

.
GC: Game Coins.

ZP: Zombie Points.

I didn't Wish for it yet it happened.

Will I be alive or dead.?

I don't even know if it's the God or Devil who is so bored they are playing with me.

I am in Confusion .

I tread on Corpses, Irons, steels, Deserts and so many other place yet I could not find the reason why I am doing this.

Is it because of my heart to conquer what others deemed Impossible or Immoral.

Or is it just to satisfy my heart of a Gamer.
...
...
...
I would love if I can continue a lot of it but I need Motivation for this.

What'll Motivate me is your Views and if you read it and enjoy it.

What would a chef would love to see in the customer !
It is the face they make when they enjoy the food.

It's the same for me.

Except that I don't Cook but write stories.

 The game's characters are very ordinary and are still weak because they are newly made.

 5 hours later.

 * Ding *

 Vitality increases by 1 point

 Agility increases by 1 point

 All of his attributes are increasing one by one.  Maybe for them it's useless to increase the attribute points a bit because everything can be covered by items.  But if you do one by one with the same equipment and level then you can be sure you will receive a crushing defeat.

 The basic attributes greatly affect the game in one by one but that does not apply to parties.  But they do not know who Silent_Hell is, a typical free player who justifies any means to get things even though the victim himself may not realize he is being used.  As he learned from the scammers of his life, the business went hand in hand with honesty and lies.

 For 4 weeks he spent his time beating the scarecrow without stopping unless he was hungry.

 This is the uniqueness of the virtual reality world of Batle Royal that is he is able to feel hunger in his stomach.  He always tried to save everything he had because he was a newbie.

 * Inventory *

 He saw his bag only contained 5 bottles of drinking water and 20 oatmeal cookies.  It was previously filled with 10 water and 50 oatmeal cookies.  At that time he felt very hungry and spent 10 whole wheat cakes and 1 bottle of drinking water a day in the game world.  While the day there are still 27 days left before he can hunt outside the city.  About two weeks after that, he left the training hall to find information about hunting locations around the city.

 That's when he casually asked the training hall instructor.  And what suddenly became the subject was the wheat cake.

 "Do you still save your cookies?"

 "Do you have to save? I have eaten 28 seeds and 4 bottles of drinking water, will that be a problem?"

 "Of course that is a problem, you still have 2 weeks before leaving and it is a provision of young adventures like you before you can complete your assignments outside the city. I will deliver to you at the beginning of time, but you refuse my offer.  by the way you won't be able to get anything if you run out of it, unless you are willing to become a beggar. "

 "What the hell ..."

 'Does this hell really follow here in the game world?  Aren't you all just going to take care of me in the real world?  Why are you unlucky luck following me into the game world!  This is truly a bastard's life.  Fuck my destiny.  No matter what, this is the game world, don't follow me anymore okay, I don't need you guys. '

 That's what Hiro thought in his heart.  He did not expect that his bad luck would follow into the game world.  He was very touched by this development, aren't you guys too persistent to follow me here?  Do you also have money to buy the capsules?  He really became stressed helpless.  And back to the training hall, beat up the scarecrow in front of him.

 System messages repeatedly appeared in front of him until mounting.  This was the first day he felt bad luck trying to apologize to him through the system's message.

 * Ding *

 Agility has increased ...
 Strength has increased ...
 Vitality has increased ...
 Intelligence has increased ...
 Agility ...
 Luck ...
 Strength ...

 "Wait, Luck? Isn't this ..."

 "Hahaha. I hit the jackpot ..."

 "Goodbye bad luck, finally I can be free from you, hahaha."

 "Yosh, let's beat this to the end."

 And that's how it happened until now.  He continued to beat the scarecrow in hopes of raising his Luck status but no matter how many times he tried he never succeeded and was only able to get 3 additional Luck statuses.  Until 4 weeks finally finished he really got nothing, nothing.

 "This is really, this little damn tried to play with me. Just wait until I'm released from your shackles, I'm sure. Here is the domain of my freedom, hahaha. Just wait for the game date."

 Silent_Hell really threatened her bad luck, if her mother knew this, she would definitely cry and say, son, are you crazy?  Then what about mom?  Will you leave mother in your madness?

 But his disappointment did not last long, he immediately contacted the training hall instructor and stated that his task had been completed.  And he wants to start hunting.

 System: Congratulations you are the first player in the city of Redstone who has completed a hidden mission to beat a scarecrow for 4 consecutive weeks.
 Reward players with fame of 30, intimacy with Baron instructors of 30. And beginner swords.

 Silent_Hell can't wait to receive a gift from the Baron instructor.

 "Son, you are the first person in this kingdom to complete this mission first. Congratulations!"

 The situation became silent after the instructor said the script of the dialogue.  Silent Hell was silent, he really expected the prize of the sword, but there was no response at all from the chief Baron instructor.

 "Ano, instructor, about my sword prize ... that is ..."

 "Are there prizes like that ..."
 He said casually with an expression of recalling.

 His eyebrows could not help but frown.  As if receiving thousands of needles.

 'That damned man must be working with this system.  This is really rotten, hello System-san, can you not play with me?  Or please have mercy on me okay, don't believe in that bad luck, he's really a cheat. '  he whined in his heart.

 "Ah, I remember it was mentioned by the administrator, but it was not given now."

 "Then?"  He really can't be too patient.

 "You have to finish the last assignment from me, are you interested?"

 System: The Chief Baron Instructor wants you to complete the task that will be given to you, will you accept it?

 Yes |  Not

 For a moment Silent Hell hesitated for a while.  He didn't even know the details of his mission, would this be his bad luck trap again?  He was really afraid to think about it.

 But one thing is certain, he had heard that there was one type of unique mission that gave quite a reward.  But the completion rate is only 20%.  But who knew the goddess Fortuna was by her side?  This mission needs to be tried even if it fails at least he has a general picture of the concept of his mission.

 "Yes"

 "Good, I'll leave it to you because I trust you."

 * Ding *

 The level of intimacy has reached 80 points, you are now a Baron instructor friend.

 "This task is that I want you to join the soldier march led by the captain of the Gazette to represent me to go into the maze of mice to eradicate alien rats and their nests."

 "This ... Isn't this what is called hitting the jackpot? No wait, there must be something wrong behind him."

 "Then come with me to my house to tell me the details of your duties, just relax. I'll prepare a free dinner for you."

 Silent Hell's eyes instantly ignited like burning fire.  Upon hearing the free words spoken.

 "Let's go hahaha, I'm ready to eat for free. Wait a minute ..."

 After calculating the entire attribute, it adds 43 attribute points.  This is really the jackpot.  Although only a little.

 Then he started following the Baron instructor to go to his residence, but in his mind he couldn't wait to level up and allocate it into his Luck attribute.  So that he immediately free from bad luck.

My messenger. His messenger. But not our messenger.

"What do you think I am paying your fees for?"

"..."

"I have been telling you for a long time. You have messed up your studies. There is only one month remaining. Your final exams are gonna start soon. What are you going to do with those grades of yours? "

"...."

"You just waste your time on that stupid laptop, playing games ..sigh.. Your mom said you were making some game? What's this all about? "

"Dad, I already told you. I want to be a game designer. I want to make games."

"You idiot! Is that even a proper job? Who's gonna pay you for making stupid video games that only kids play? You are not a kid anymore. Grow up! There is no scope for that stuff in our country. You should pick something that has some scope in Nepal. I am telling this for the last time there is only a single month before your exams start. Study hard and score at least 70% in the upcoming exams or else you can just leave thoughts of studying any further and find work."

"...…"

Saying this, Shuvam's dad stormed out of the room, leaving behind Shuvam in red misty eyes.

Hearing what his dad said, Shuvam crashed into his bed and started sobbing."sob..sob…why…why…did this happen? Why can't they…sob..sob..understand?"

His phone vibrated. He knew that he had received a message. He wiped his ' About to flow out ' tears from his misty eyes and checked his message.

The message came from some unknown source. There was no name or number of the sender, just the message. The message was - ' Mr. Shuvam, You have been selected as the winner of our lucky draw competition. You will be emailed a link to download a software which will be helping you in your life to achieve your goals for free. Install the software and your life shall change. '

' Huh ? I didn't participate in any lucky draw. How did I win? They even know my name and contact. ', he thought.

' Maybe I participated in something and forgot, I guess. Let's check what this is. It would be really good if it could really help me achieve my goals. Haha What am I thinking? A software making me a game designer. ', he thought.

He was smiling and hadn't realized that streams of tears were flowing from both his eyes. He realized he was crying and quickly wiped those tears. He got up from his bed and sat on the chair nearby and opened his laptop which was placed on the desk in front of him.

It was an old low spec laptop but it was enough for him to play some games and use older versions of unity to try game developing. This laptop was gifted to him by his cousin who was in U.S. It was old, bulky and even occasionally leaked electricity from its metal casing. But for Shuvam, this laptop was his life.

He had connected a keyboard and a mouse onto the computer because few of the inbuilt keyboard keys were not working and he didn't like using the touchpad. He input the password of the laptop and took out his cellphone simultaneously. He didn't have an internet connection at home so he had to use data plans along with the hotspot option of his mobile to be able to use internet on his laptop.

He used NRs  20 to get a data plan which allowed him to used unlimited data for a hour. He checked his gmail and quickly found the link to download the software. He clicked on the link and a setup file of 600 megabytes started downloading. The average download speed in his current network was about 500-600 kbps. It took about 30 minutes to download the software. He had been watching videos on YouTube which had considerably slowed the download speed which resulted in taking longer time to download.  (1$ = about NRs 105)

After the setup file finished download, he opened the file and his whole screen was engulfed in darkness. Suddenly, a timer was shown on the screen with the same black screen in the background. The timer showed 25 days remaining. Shuvam thought he had seen it wrong due to his still somewhat musty eyes. He rubbed his eyes and looked again and was shocked to see that it really did show 25 days remaining. He removed his laptop battery and placed it again and opened his laptop again in hopes of terminating the setup process. 

The laptop opened again but it directly took him to the timer screen. He repeated the process for a few times and suspected that the screen didn't go away but the timer was moving even after his laptop was shut down. It was already late at night (11pm) so he shut the computer down and went to sleep. He wanted to know for sure if the installation process would carry on or not.

Next day, he woke up at 8 Am. He brushed his teeth, had his breakfast. His dad was on his morning walk and his mom and brother had already went to school. His brother was a student and his mom was a teacher at the same school. He opened the laptop and found out that his suspicion was correct. Even though the laptop was turned off, the installation process was going on.

He decided to wait for the installation to finish and shut the computer down. He went ahead and read novels on qidian till 12:00 and went to sleep at 12:30 because his mom  and brother would be home at 1:00 .

The next few weeks went by in similar manner. It was finally time when the installation would be finished. He was really looking forward to it. He wanted to know what this mysterious software was and the fact that if it could really help him achieve his goals or not. He opened the laptop, the timer showed that there were 4 minutes remaining till the completion of the installation of the software.

After the installation completed, the laptop restarted. He put in the password of the laptop and was eager to see what was installed. He saw that all the  software shortcuts on the desktop were the already installed ones. There was no new software installed. He opened the program files and searched for any new folders. One should know that Shuvam really loved computers and computer games. So he pretty much knew  the names of all the folder in program files. He didn't find any new folder and was disappointed in his heart.

' Maybe I expected too much from my life ', he thought and laughed at himself and his pitiful state.

Suddenly, a robotic thingy appeared on his screen. It had a rectangular body and stringy hands and legs. " Hi Shuvam.", it said. Shuvam was scared. This thing, a thing on his computer that seemed like it was walking in the background of his computer screen was talking to him. 

"Hi", he said stiffly.

Shuvam got an software that is an amazing piece of tech. See how he uses it to make his career as an anonymous game developer who is known for for making the most complexed games of uncrackable nature.
Watch him make his dreams come true, help his family, get admired by gamers and be the best indie game developer.

We all got yesterday, on Wed, 8th May, 19th
free reading but it's actually true... I got just greddy... Wanna download many many...
Evn wanted to end the whole novel... 900+ chapters in a go...
Without reading bit by bit... Taking taste of it... Cherishing... Realizing... Imaging... Just quite lots of chapters... Evn had thought... I'll later read it on....

🌹 🌹
But frankly truly speaking...
The joy, fun, dedication  that we get by unlocking the chapters.... At own earning reward... Is much better than free reading. 
... 
Although. Yes
..... Free reading should be given... But as reward to selected one.. At some challanging good funny simple conditions.. 😊.

Hello all! The first 5 chapters posted are the example of the professionally edited and proofread version of the story. Because I've gone to Amazon and started selling from there, I'm not allowed to post any more than 10% of the story anywhere else.

I stopped posting on webnovel because...

1) The contract conditions are terrible (Seriously, I'd be a homeless person with a laptop at a library for internet and still have to work under contract with those conditions.)

2) After I rejected the contract, they basically gave me the cold shoulder.

3) Its true that it's a business and they should favour those who still want the contract or are contracted, but when webnovel gives bullshit excuses why you're not getting featured for months etc, it crossed my bottom line. (Yes I know it was bullshit, you might think you sold me with it but it's the reason I left the discord chat willingly after telling the newest authors about the conditions.)

4) The writing platform inkstone is a joke, it doesn't even have italic or bold which word 2000 did.

5) there's other things but I won't bore you.

Anyway, I'm happy to announce that the 2nd book will get released soon, and my first book will be available to download for FREE from November 22nd to November 26th 2018.

If you do download it, leave me a good review.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07HNKPKZ3

Those who are fans of this work will be surprised at the new plot and the much better grammar. There's also a signup you can do so you get a notification when the next book in the series gets released.

Thanks for reading
