The more he watched the video, the more he realizes his weaknesses, he closes the video then continued to browse through the internet seeking a job related to his hobby. Then he comes across a single website that posts an application for the position of game researchers which also has an opportunity to join the team under that company. Not wasting his time, Ren quickly submits his resume to apply for that position, within a few minutes he got a reply from that company with an invitation to come for an interview tomorrow morning.

The Next Day
To avoid being late, Ren woke up early that day and prepare himself for battle. Both his parent greet him with a smile & pray for his success in today's interview. Ten took a bus to reach the destination and after 45 minutes of raiding the bus, Ren reaches up to the company for the interview session. The company named is Secret Seat, a weird name for a company that in charge to provide reviews for many types of games. After preparing his mind Ren enters the building, he can see many other people who also apply for that position. The clock on the wall shows 10 AM where suddenly a woman wearing a black blouse with glasses came out from the door and stand in front of everyone there. The woman's name is Nona, she the one who in charge of today's interview. She then asks the interviewees to follow her into the interview room. Inside that room, Ren and the others being told to have a seat then Nona passes a piece of paper with a pencil & pen for each one of them.
Nona then told that they need to answer all the question on that paper without fail, those question is the test for the interview today. They all being given 1 hour to answer 50 questions then she seats on the chair & it the sign for others to start answering the question. Ren read each & every detail on that paper then he realizes the question is somehow is like a scenario question on what players will do when they encounter a certain situation in games. Ren answering all the questions based on what he analyzed as the best option for each scenario in games. The time is up, Nona begins to collect the answer sheet from the interviewee, after finish collecting all the answers she shows them the way out. Unhappy with that, many people demand an explanation but Nona only answers those who pass the test will be informed by email tonight. Ren returns to his home with mix feeling because he is afraid that he might lose this chance to join the company. On the way home, Ren recalled the last question in the test, the question asked if he will still play certain games at the cost of his own life. For Ren, it a weird question because the game life and the real-life is a separate thing and not related to one another.
The next morning, Ren woke up because his phone keeps ringing then he answers the call. He jumps out of bed because the one who calls him is Nona, the woman who in charge of the interview yesterday. She calls & asks Ren why he late to reporting on his first day of job. Ren forgot to check his email last night & it seems he got the job he's wanted.
