DIABOLIC GAMER
Chapter One
Husband Material
A man in his early twenties walked inside the Fitness and Health Center. He was wearing a simple white sleeveless shirt and sweatpants. Every movements he made, his shirt stretches where people could see a visible outline of his eight pack abs. The man's body was obviously well-kept by working out.
By his mere presence, he was able to captured girls attention. There were some girls furtively glanced at him and the others shamelessly stared at him with their ogle eyes.
“Damn, that guy's hot.”
“Hotter than you think.”
“Hey, is he a new instructor? If it is, I want to know what class his handling!”
You might wonder whose the person causes an up-roared inside the Health and Fitness Center.
Wilson Ponteverde's the named. He had a medium length dark brown haired, prominent jawline and chiseled cheeks. His already twenty three years old and just finished his masteral degree in Business Management. He’s the only successor of Ponteverde Group. A company who's inclined in clothing line and big hotels. Due to that, his father, Mr. Robert Ponteverde had high expectation for him to succeed the company.
Wilson's father was a busy man but he made sure that he had a spare time for his only son. His father gave him anything he needed. He knew that it was all because his father wanted to recovered all the years he wasn't with Wilson.
He didn't loathe his father for not being around when he was a kid; the reasoned was because of her mother. She never told Robert that she was pregnant by his child. It was not because she didn't have the courage to tell Robert but because of Robert's parents. They detest her for being poor and drove her away, if she would not do as they pleased they'll made sure that her life would be in hell along with her parents. Robert only knew about it after Wilson's mother died from incurable disease when he was only eight. Before she died, she confessed to her son that his father was still alive and told he should meet his father.
Being an eight years old, he was helpless after his mother died and his mother's relatives don't like to take him in, he had no choice but to go to the address that his mother given to him.
“Where's that guy?” He mumbled, ignoring those people chattered.
Wilson's eyes scanned the whole place, his eyes landed in left corner of the room upon he saw the person's who he had been looking for. His friend, Clifford or Cliff for short was busy flirting with a girl. Cliff was shamelessly staring at the girl's breast.
They'd been best friend since second year in college. He even wondered why they'd become friends when they are way to different from each other. His friend was easy get along with lots of people while Wilson was the exact opposite, he was aloof from the people for fear they are all fraud who want only to use him. He had experienced that before when he was in high school. However, this person, Cliff, had dared to befriend him and come to know that he didn't have ill intention and became friend.
After they graduated in college, the two of them still keep in touch.
“If you really like that watermelon that much, Clifford, I could somehow find you the best plastic surgeon.” Wilson said, suppressing himself not to laugh as he saw his best friend startled and almost jump off the ground.
“Fuccckk!” It was a wrong move, the girl whom he was flirting with, showed discomfort in her face and excused herself from them. “Now look at what you have done! I almost have her in my grasp, Wil!” He look dejected as he face Wilson.
“Hahaha! That was one fuck up, dude. You deserved it since your eyes been glued to her watermelon.”
Cliff scoffed before regaining his lost dignity.
“Shut up, Wil. Anyway, it's been almost a month since we last saw each other. How's your trip in California? I bet you met tons of hot babes there!” Cliff smiling likes a Cheshire cat while wagging his brows up and down.
“I didn't go there for vacation, Cliff. It was all pure business unlike you, Mr. Skirt Chaser.”
“Wow, thanks for the compliment, Mr. Picky Man.” Cliff said, sarcastically.
Wilson was not a picky person, he only date girls whom he likes even though it didn't last long due to his bad habit. He was always had a stoic or poker face in his face whenever he talk with girls. It was a habit that he'd outgrow with. He was not like that before, but because of that certain event, it changes him.
He may be a husband material for the ladies now or so they thought. But way back to his high school days, he was plumb, nerd and only enjoyed watching action and horror movies and reading books inside his dark room.
“Whatever.” Wilson waved his hand dismissively while striding his way near in unoccupied barbell bench.
Stolen story; please report.
He lay down and started lifting up the 100 pounds barbell.
Cliff followed him and sat on a bench beside him.
“Oh yeah, by the way, have you already decided to play virtual game World of Savage Online?”
“Aw, not that again. You already know my answer is.” He scoffed, cold sweat starting to form on his forehead as he kept lifting up and down the barbell. Cliff was not the only one who tried to persuade him to play the fore-mention game, but also his family doctor.
Almost two months ago, he had suffered over fatigue due to his excessive work.
The Doctor suggested him to take a vacation and relaxed for a bit away from his work. Wilson refused at his doctor; he can't just leave his work. However, the doctor did not want to take a no for an answer so he told Wilson that he needs a breather to loosen up bit from his work, and suggest the World of Savage Online. It was obviously the doctor was into that game.
These two people were persuading him endlessly! It was not like he wasn't interested in that game, but hist work must come first.
Anyway, speaking about games, he had read an article about it for a long time. Last year, the Immortality Corporation launched a game called World of Savage Online, it was now the main stream in a whole wide world. Yes, believe it or not that's the truth. They were the first company ever developed a VR game and change the perspective life of the people.
The realism was pretty high, base from what he had heard from the news. It has 90 percent realism, it supposedly to be 99.99 percent. However, the developer of the game decided not to do so. Due to this awesome game, it caused massive influx of people playing it all over the world.
He would be a liar, if he said he's not interested to play virtual game. Unfortunately he had a lot of work to do than playing games.
Maybe...he could take a vacation and...
Aw, what am I thinking? Even if I could file a vacation leave right now and venture to this virtual world they so called. Still, I would eventually stop playing the game and end up wasted my money for the device, installation and other stuff. Besides, the board of the directors’ was eyeing him lately because he had been promoted as an ordinary office worker to sales and marking director.
Yes, even though he's the sole heir of the company, it doesn't mean he can get a bigger position so easily. His father told him he needed to experience hardship if it means to start to the lower position. Also he has to prove to all people that he's worthy to be the successor of the Ponteverde Group. There are some people who detest it but who care?
“Oh come on!” The jet black haired friend whined at him.
After he placed the barbell back in the rack, he sighed exasperatedly and said.
“Huff! You know what? Huff...even if I want to play it, my schedule is always been hectic.” Wilson pointed out before he took a glance at the wall clock.
Veins in his temple throbbed, the clock's hands was pointing 7:11 in the morning. He only has 49 minutes before work.
“You're a monster.”
“Don't care. Anyway, I gotta go, I'm gonna be late for work if I don't hurry.” It was a huge relief that the condominium building where he lives' near the HFC so it only took him three or four minutes to made it back home.
~*~
It was a tiring day, tons paper works been piled up on his working table and need to be done before the deadline.
Argh...I can't wait to sleep in my comfy bed. I am so glad that my schedule for tomorrow does loosen up a bit. While drove his black car, Wilson turned the radio on.
“...Can't play World of Savage Online because of your work? Worry no more! Immortality Corporation is now presenting to you their newest developed console game! …”
“Hmm?”
“We called it sleeping-game capsule, with this; you will be able to play a game while asleep! It's a win-win situation; you can work in the morning and play World of Savage Online in the evening. So, what are you waiting for? Buy now for only 430,000 pesos (9,167.37 USD) with installation of the game!”
Wilson accidentally stepped the breaker, a strong force pushed him in the front. If he hadn't fastened his seat belt, he would had smack his face against the glass window.
“Shit.”
