It only took a fraction of a second for Raj to go through all the information within the notification as all its contents got instantly projected into his mind.
"Supreme Realm?"
"Is it related to the virtual game, 'The Supreme Realm'?"
The information about the location directly passed into his mind.
Raj has already stabilized his mind, thinking about the method to implant a certain location in his mind, and with it, he can subconsciously walk in there. He was dumbfounded.
Raj immediately grabbed the phone from his pant pocket and opened the app,' Google Map Extreme'"
This application has many functions, yet it is mainly used for searching for locations.
A holographic blue screen materializes above his phone.
Raj instantly types down the location which is stored in his mind.
The screen zooms in, the search location, and a big shop appears on the holographic screen.
"World of NPC!"
It was the name of a huge shop, and he heard about the shop's name in many advertisements.
It is one of the famous Virtual Reality Game equipment companies. It manufactures and sells game helmets and other equipment.
This shop was the branch of the selling team.
"I guess it must be related to the 'The Supreme Realm' virtual game." Raj thought to himself.
He doesn't understand why the voice is telling him to enter the Virtual world.
It is merely a Virtual World! Maybe a second world in the future.
'Is it a new way to advertise?... Nah! My mind now begins thinking silly questions," Raj immediately pulled back himself from reality.
Raj's mind was in chaos, many doubts often popped up in his head.
"This weird Orb inside my head must be an explanation to all my doubts."
The dark black Orb inside Raj's mind is endlessly orbiting around his consciousness.
Raj could feel that there was a mystic unknown energy inside the Orb.
The orbiting Orb was out of his control. His mind barely has a feeble connection with the Orb.
"If this thing is linked to 'The Supreme Human', then this virtual reality game isn't an ordinary virtual game!"
Ran was determined to visit the shop and see if there was any connection between Orb and 'The Supreme Realm' Virtual game helmet.
According to the official site, only the newly manufactured helmet could connect the user to 'The Supreme Realm' world.
Maybe the voice talking about the new digital helmet, as the door to the Supreme Realm.
"Tomorrow… I'll visit there tomorrow."
If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.
Soon, Raj lay on his bed, he was exhausted due to the shocking events that happened that day.
First, he came back to the past.
Second, the mysterious voice in his mind.
It is better to calm his mind first and then visit the shop later.
Raj closed his eyes and drifted into his magical world. It is the only way to fulfill his impossible dreams.
***
The early risers chirping, morning sunbeams peeking through the clouds, birds about their morning rituals, a gentle cool breeze, golden light everywhere, covering natural and man-made creations, full of beauty and magic, filled with the promise of a new beginning.
Raj slowly opened his eyelids, all things around him were blurry. Later, he washed his face and eyes.
After dinner, Raj soon departed from his house. He was excited to visit the shop as early as possible.
It is already 9:00 AM, which is the time for opening most of the shops in the US.
Raj's destination was 8 KM away from his house. Hence, he took a taxi from his house.
From the Taxi window, he saw many familiar but unfamiliar scenes. Some are stored deep inside in his memory.
Finally, after 14 minutes, he arrived at his destination.
World of NPC, Los Vegas
This is a normal place in what could not be a more regular civilian area, the burning sun baking the ground along with the countless people, causing the passing-by people to occasionally complain about or curse at the uncomfortable weather. The area couldn't be considered calm, but it wouldn't be as lively and flourishing as the center of the city.
However, in front of the Shop, there was an endless sea of people.
Raj shook his head, the shop just opened now, and there were still so many youngsters.
The youths who always wake up in the afternoon are currently standing in line from the early morning. Besides, today was a holiday.
Have they changed their mind?
No!
The popularity of the 'The Supreme Realm' is on another level even before it's released. Moreover, the first two months are simply for exclusive members only. Only they could enter the game for the next two months.
There are only 20 exclusive members from the Earth and 30 from the Stark planet.
It isn't like Earthlings were treated inferior to Starkings. They just contributed more than the Earth.
Most of the technologies were from the Stark Planet. Moreover, the Exclusive member passes are fixed.
These people were famously called Primes by the world media.
However, what shocked people was that they couldn't find the identity of these so-called Primes.
"They must be the sons, or daughters of the business world tycoons," Raj murmurs to himself.
Raj looked at the line and thought about the Crazy youths buying a helmet worth 50,000$.
Nonetheless, he came here only to see if there was any reaction upon contacting these helmets.
Raj's head was already covered in sweat droplets, glancing at the intense sun above his head and complaining. Up until now, he'd been standing under this ruthless sun for 20 minutes. Looking forward to just touching the helmet with his hand.
Yet, all the youth who buy the helmet immediately flee upon exiting. As if someone would steal their Virtual Box.
Suddenly, a blonde boy appears from the exit, he has a carton in his hands, and he doesn't care about the countless stares at him.
Raj immediately walked towards him.
"Hello, my name is Shiva and I'm working on a school project where I have to take an interview with a different person about different products and recently, the new virtual world is quite popular. So, I came here to have an interview with a few people. So...could you share your experience and excitement upon buying this new virtual box."
Raj professionally said the statement. It would be a lie if he was not sweating.
He could have directly asked the boy to let him see the new virtual box.
But, Raj has already failed two times with this simple method. Moreover, they had harshly ignored him.
It was the effect of the hierarchical System. Most of the youths in line are rich people. They would immediately ignore the poor people upon seeing them, and Raj was on their list.
Why?
Because only the poor, or beggars want to touch and see the virtual box.
The blonde youth gazed at Raj's ordinary features and then at the phone that was in Raj's shirt pocket.
It was clear from this that Raj was recording the interview.
He maintained his shirt, and said, "The new virtual game will be launched in both worlds. So, I'm very excited to play this game and this virtual helmet is made of a new metal found at Stark Plant…"
Before the boy could finish his words, Raj interrupted and said," Can I make the video of the new virtual box? Don't worry I will not open it."
"Sure!" Surprisingly the blonde boy doesn't reject Raj's request.
Raj delightedly grabbed his phone from his pocket and started a new recording. He deliberately touched the box with his left hand.
Soon, he heard a voice in his head as he touched the Virtual box.
[Door to the Supreme Realm found…]
[User, please wear the equipment to enter the Supreme Realm!]
[Time Remaining before the closing of the door: 1 Day:12 hour: 20 minutes]
