"It's a new game from Avalon.They've been hyping it up for almost a year, apparently it's the best VR game of the century as many gamers say"Kevin said.
"Why don't you give it a try?"
"Sure I guess."Christian replied.
'What's the harm.'He thought
Even though it's VR pod is very expensive for a normal family ranging from $10,000 to $1,000,000.But Christian's family was far from normal.The Il Diavolo was one the leading business families in the world. For them it was mere pocket change.
After school Christian returned home to his apartment- no his luxury suite and was greeted by his maid Greta. Greta had been taking care of him since childhood when his parents went for long business trips and such.
"I'm Home"
"Welcome back young master Chris"Greta replied.As his name was very long to keep repeating everybody close to him shortened it to Chris.
"How was school?"
"Fine"
Greta smiled warmly as she said "I prepared food for you young master"
"Thank you Greta. I'll eat it after I bathe"
And after putting a quick order on his pod for the best and most expensive one, he went to bathe.
He quickly started undressing and was about to enter the bathroom, when he stopped by the mirror.
'Damn' He thought as he examined his reflection.It's no wonder girls swooned over him.With his cream white skin with no blemishes, chiseled jawline, sharp nose, stormy grey eyes and glossy black hair and height of 6'1he could pass for a model.
After examining himself for a few more moments he stepped inside his bathroom for a quick shower.After that he went to the dining table for dinner.After settling into his chair he looked at the table with surprise.
It was filled with his favourite food.Chicken Ceaser salad,Medium rare steak,Mashed potatoes and strawberry cheesecake for dessert. He looked at the food and frowned.
He stared at Greta and asked"Okay spill it, What do you want?"
Greta simply smiled"I would like to take a leave tomorrow"
"The reason?"
"I got asked out."She said with a small blush on her cheeks.
"Oh did Leonard finally ask you out?"
"Yes he di- wait a second how did you know?"She asked with her blush deepening.
"Oh stop acting like my classmates when they receive confessions you're in your late 30's for god's sake, besides it was obvious."Even though Greta was in her late 30's she could pass for someone 10 years younger with her beautiful face and curves.
"Was it really? Am i the last one to know?"
"Probably"Christian replied with a smirk.
"So can i take a leave?"she asked
"Of course you can, but tell me all the details.I'm nosy OK?"
"Sure young master"She replied with a smile.
After that they chatted while Christian ate.After he finished Greta went home while Christian went to Bed.The next morning Christian woke up to the sound of someone ringing the bell.
He went to answer it and found his new pod.After signing the papers concerning the delivery('Damn, everybody wants my autograph these days'He thought) he and the delivery guy moved it into his home.After that the delivery guy left while Christian ordered breakfast from his phone and freshened up.
After eating breakfast he checked the user manual for the VR pod and found out it was fully air-conditioned and put the body in a state of sleep for 8 hours when playing, after that he would be forcefully ejected from the game.On weekends the 8 hour rule would turn null.This was so that everybody could play without changing their schedules too much.
After reading how to use the pod, he entered it and said the words "LOG IN"
