In the Real world, several government agencies are investigating the game Earthisia, it suddenly grow into a game that became known all over the world without knowing the developer or the company it belonged to.
An American government which is more focused on this mysterious game started to investigate it more thoroughly than others.
There is a certain scientist that finally found a lead. She had a haggard look, with deep eyebags and looks like she haven't slept for days.
"It's been 5 years, since we started investigating this game, and now we had finally found a lead!" Imelda, a government hired scientist/developer happily said.
"Yeah, no more over time at the office this time, I could finally spend time with my daughter." An officer replied while he grabs his coffee.
"Tell our superiors we need a bonus because we finally did it." another officer exclaimed.
"Now, what kind of secrets are you hiding inside the game!" Imelda said as she smiled mischievously.
"Miss Imelda, don't smile like that its creepy, you know." The officer said while he spits his coffee that he was drinking.
The screen was loading hoping they will enter the game as an administrator of the game but while loading it, the screen cracked as if something was going to get out.
"Shut the project now immediately!" A sergeant called Anderson shouted as if sensing the incoming danger.
The sergeant brought out his hand gun then shot at the screen and he succeeded.
"It seems dangerous to hacked into the game, maybe one of the conspiracy theories that people talked about is true." Another Scientist with a blonde hair called Bryan concluded and added. "Maybe its a way extra terrestials invade Earth, all government agencies can't block the emergence of the game early on that's why we are tasked to investigate it. Looks like we had to warn them of possible invasion and be ready."

In a certain city, the man sensed the danger that was coming, it was same man at the mansion earlier, he brought out an unimaginable object. It looks tangible and can take any shape you want.
"I had helped you find it boy, now I have to buy time for you to get stronger." The man said while the object disappeared. "He will have exactly 2 years at most and a year at the least, but it will be sufficient. He is the most talented person that I know."
"Father are you there? I want to play this game everyone has been talking about at school. It seems that it was the greatest game ever created though there are talks that a secret organization created it." A girl entered at an office where the man works, it was Yana.
"Okay my baby girl. You can order one right now, in the morning the helmet will be at your front door." The man replied as he smiles.
"I will be working harder there too, I heard Gerry ordered one so I decided to play and maybe we'll meet there and hoping we can bond again like in the past." Yana said as she reminisce
"You have to get stronger too, my baby girl. Luckily I just obtained a crucial information about a secret class on the game. Want to take the quest for it?" The man said as he brought out his tablet.
"Okay father, I'll do it. I know that Gerry will be stronger there, he has the talent. That's why I have to be ahead of him, so that he can't cast me aside." Yana was determined to prove herself to Gerry.
"Father, I also saw the news. Someone was impersonating me, it seems the woman also looks like me. Are you the one responsible for that?" Yana frowned suspecting her father.
"No, my baby girl, you know that I won't do that as you are my only daughter, I will have to let the company investigate the one impersonating you. Luckily, she impersonates as you and showed off in the news not knowing the consequences of messing with the Glade's!" The man replied, with fires in his eyes, determined to find the culprit.
"You can go home now sweetie, I'll take care of the issues." The man commanded his daughter, he picked up his telephone and dialed some number. "Hello, this is Spencer Glade, I want you to investigate a woman who looks like my daughter, she was impersonating as her in the game."
In a dark corner of an alley, a gangster fighting three men with baseball bat in their hands, his phone rang startling them."Big boss brother, you have to take your phone before continuing this training." One of the trio, stopped asking the gangster to answer his phone.
The gangster picked up." Okay, Mr Spencer. Consider it done."

----------------------------------------
Gerry awoken by his alarm frowned as he press the stop button in his phone. The curtains in his room flutters as a passing wind did it, A slight sunlight passed through and his eyes felt like he got blinded.
"Oh sh*t! I'm late for school." Gerry shouted as he immediately got up and hurriedly run into the shower.
"Brother, Language!" Lila seems to heard Gerry cursing, so she scolded him.
"Sorry! I got panicked." Gerry shouted apologetically while in the shower.
10 minutes had passed and Gerry is in a hurry going through the school.
The school is 20 minutes away in Gerry's house if by walking. He was late now by 20 minutes and the class has started deep. He ran to his fastest, it seems his speed could be compared to Athletes at their school.
Sweats drip down on Gerry's body as he got to the school gate.
"You're late again man, Hurry before the principal scold you! He will be coming at the school today..." The security guard called Mr. Ato scolded Gerry for being late again but cast it aside as if he was busy.
Gerry runs to the 3rd floor of the school at the 2nd class room.
3-A.
Unfortunately, the professor was already there.
"Mr. Frey, you're late again. Even if you are one of the smartest in the whole school, you have to abide by its rules, do you think you are an exception? No, you're not and one more late in my class and I'll fail you regardless of your performance in this school, now stand at the hallway for the rest of the class." Professor Mckorny angrily said as she lectures Gerry.
"Looks like you're watching us again boss." Raven, his friend that visited him earlier at Never Eleven said.
"Are you alright Gerry?" Yana asked.
"I'm fine. Please, don't you worry about me Yana, just do you and I do mine." Gerry seems pissed at her even though she didn't do anything.
"Class! Quiet! Now, Mr. Frey go outside and stand there." Professor Mckorny shouted.
The class went about in an hour.
In this school a class per subject could last up to an hour and a half and Gerry stood there for the entire time.
"Boss, how strong are you now in Earthisia?" Raven asked him with high expectations.
"Wait, Gerry is really playing Earthisia now? I thought you are just bluffing Raven." A classmate of theirs with an orange spiky hair suddenly join their conversation. His name is Draven.
"Yeah, boss joined the game for days now. Right boss?" Raven added.
"I've been spawned in an undiscovered area in a snow plains, though luckily I found a gate there. I was grinding it for days now. If you guys want rare equipment and weapon I've got a spare that I can't use. If you want to bleed money." Gerry admitted in a joyful manner.
"So you found a gate there boss. I'll buy the weapon to you and transfer the money now. I'll add you in-game later when we got home. How much was it boss?" Raven said as he pulled out his phone to pay the fee.
"Based on what I've read in wiki's and guides, Rare drops from a gate could fetch thousands." Draven added.
Raven immediately pull his phone back from his pocket. "Looks like I can't afford it."
"Why don't you sell it to me. I'll buy what you are selling for 2 times the market price." Yana suddenly jumped into their conversation.
Gerry seems to be hesitant.
"Are you pitying me now Yana? I'll sell it at the market price. I don't want anyone's pity." Gerry annoyed by Yana's sudden proclamation frowned. "The total is 2500$ because its from a gate. I'll add you in the game later. What's your IGN?"
A notification appeared in Gerry's phone indicating that the payment has been done. "2500$ has been added to your account."
"Its "Yana" but my player ID is 233598513 just my name. I don't have anything to hide in-game." Yana exclaimed.
"Okay, I'll add you later and trade the items. Just be online at 10:00 PM." Gerry added.
The bell rang and it was now time for lunch.
"Boss, let's go to the canteen. They said a new dish will be served there, it will be special because the principal was said to be visiting with a few special guests." Raven entices Gerry to eat at the cafeteria.
"Sure, let's go. Might as well try it than regret, right?" Gerry said as he looked at Yana.
They walked to the cafeteria and behold, it was filled with students that wants to try the new dish. Resigned by this fate that they will not be able to eat it, they went to a nearby convenience store where Gerry works, Never Eleven.
"Gerry, your shift will start earlier than I thought so be ready later. Also the new items will be delivered later, so you manage it." The manager of the store said as he checks the items if something was missing.
The day went passed by and Gerry just got home. Now with his newfound motivation of making money, will he be able to get stronger using only the conventional method of meeting conditions to increase his stats or will he be able to found an alternative path of making money and grow stronger.
