I could'nt help but cry as i remember these 15 years i spent together with Guzal. All the games we played, all the exams we failed and all these irreplacable memories were deep within my heart. And now, here he was before me but this time, he was lifeless having decided to end his book of life following the downfall of his company and getting immersed in debt.
While this experience took away my sworn brother away from me, it also taught me something. And that was "The importance of money". From that day i decided that i will become rich, FILTHY RICH and wash away all the bastards at the top of the society.
My determination was at its peak but there was one thing i was missing and that is... "Talent".
Unlike Guzal i had no talents in buisness neither did i have any family connections. I was an orphan even since the start of my memory and had lived at the orphanage till i was 18. Then, i moved out renting a small room and barely managed to pay its fees working as a waiter in a local restraunt.

Tomorrow was the lauch of the new vrmmorpg game called "Zenith". Zenith was set out to become the worlds largest game ever having a world scale map remade in ancient style. This game promised 99% realistic feeling and had countless opportunities within. It even allowed players to make their own skills and the thing that made it truly special was the super advanced AI of each NPC which even allowed the NPCs to have their own feelings and relations.I had played a lot of vmmorpgs during my orphanage days and had some experience in it. The game helmets were fairly cheap and sisters in the orphange had brought one for all of us.
Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.
I had saved enough money to buy a game helmet for Zenith by eating only once a day for 3 months. At 8 in the evening i set out to stay in line overnight to buy the helmet. Apparently, the first 10,000 game registrations were given special rewards and there was no way in hell i was gonna miss that. Even though i set out to stay in line 10 hours before it releases i was still only the 3rd man in line. Looks like the news about the special rewards was true. Without even a blink of an eye, 10 hrs passed and the line had extended to about 6000 people. This is when i was proud of myself for making the decision to stay overnight. The 1st and 2nd guy quickly got their helmets and it was my turn. I got my helmet and ran towards my room as fast as i could as i could not conceal my excitement within myself. I laid down in the bed and activated my helmet.
