Eternal Kingdom

"How was it? Do you like it?"

VIP Room 3, Seoul Hospital. The day passed and now Yuri was sitting beside his sister bed. Lillie's eyes sparkled as she bombarded Yuri with a series of questions.

He told her everything that happened inside the game, and Lillie just laughed at her brother predicaments. To be honest, Yuri luck isn't that bad, it's just his luck is a bit more colorful than the other players.

"You need to grind more! Hmm...Let me think...Why don't you go to Jared's Lair, inside Stonehelm forest, it's a bit higher than your level, but I know you can do it." Lille smiled.

"But...My avatar is starving..."

"Go hunt some deer or rabbits along the way then, oh! And remember to wash the meat first. You will get a debuff if you didn't wash it first before you cook it."

Lillie gave a lengthy lecture. Yuri can see her passion towards the game, even though he's about to scold her for playing it too much, he just can't bear to do it. Instead, he just nodded and took a mental note for all the things she said.

Time passed and now its eleven in the morning. Yuri bid his goodbye to his dear sister, her conditions seemed improved although its only been two days. As he passed by, the female doctors and nurses were peeking their heads to catch a glimpse of the young billionaire.

Tinit

The sound of car alarms reverberated throughout the hospital parking lots.

Porsche 918 Spyder, a supercar with limited production, only nine hundred and eighteen were produced in the world. Manufactured in October two thousand's and thirteen, and ended in May two thousand's and fifteen.

The beast was equipped with V8 engines that can produce six hundred and eight horsepower, added with two electric motors, if combined can produce a hundred and eighty-seven horsepower, which translated that the beast can achieve a maximum speed of three hundred and fifty kilometers per hour. Truly a sight to behold.

But, unfortunately, that was Felix car and not Yuri. He drove a Hyundai i20. So much for being a billionaire.

Skyscr.a.p.ers were erected all over the city, advertis.e.m.e.nts, Idols concert annoucements, and even the public elections decorated most of Seoul vicinities. One building stood tall among the rest of skyscr.a.p.ers. Star media. This was one of the branches of Yuri corporate business that deals in advertising.

Yuri drove his car to the entrance of the buildings. Just about to exit his car, he was greeted by the high ranking officers in that office, while the workers there were either puzzled or even curious by his identity.

"Welcome to Star Media Mr. Yuri, this way please."

He fixed his suit and gave his car key to one of the workers there.

"Don't scratch it." He glared.

"Y-yes, sir..." The worker let out an awkward smile.

The group walked inside the fifty storied building, led by the branch manager. The workers were awestruck looking at him when they finally remembered, that he was the CEO for the company that they worked for.

It was exactly the same scene in a Korean drama, but the real-life version of it. The branch manager explained in a sharp and concise manner, about the work they do, workers conditions, and the financial status of the company, while going to their meetings on the thirtieth floor.

The meetings were talking about the general direction the company would take, and Yuri as the helm of the company would have to make most of the decisions there. Felix can be seen there too, sitting beside him with his gray suit and slick back hairstyles on his brown hair.

----

The meetings didn't last long, it only took about fifteen minutes for Yuri to decide the general directions for the company to take, and now he was sitting in his office that was located within the same floor where the meetings held, accompanied by Felix.

"Don't tell me you're driving here with that car of yours?"

"Shut up. I like that car, it's cheap, and reliable."

"And you call me a miser?" Felix rolled his eye.

"Because that's a fact! Oh! And take care of business here, I've got another stuff to do."

"What stuff? You're playing that game? Why didn't you tell me! I want to play it too!!"

"And why must I tell you that? Besides, you have the capsules already at your home, just get the game card and then you can play it all you want."

"You're not fun! What's your name in the game anyway?"

"Yurian."

"Like Yuri with an, An?"

"Yeah."

"Your naming sense is weird..."

"Whatever, I'm going first."

Ding

Yuri walked out from the elevators intending to get his car key from the receptions desk. He looked at his surroundings and found a cafe nearby, knowing that he can't eat while playing the game, he decided to eat there instead.

The lobby was filled with workers and clients from all over the place. The lobby also connected to a cafe that was meant to serve the masses and the workers. Like every other office, employees there can get a discount if they decided to eat there.

"Mr. Yuri here's your car key." The female receptionist said while handing his key with her two hands.

"Thank you."

One or two people stared at him, curious with the young CEO. Yuri pretty much used to this type of situation and just walk along to his destination, although in his mind he just hopes to live a normal life with his sister.

Arrived at the cafe counters, Yuri scanned the menus there. The majority of food there was Korean's food with the occasional European Food like steak and ham.

Yuri wasn't a picky eater, in fact, his taste buds were pretty much down to earth. He ate everything that was served in front of him, and didn't have much complain about it, but, there is one food that he hated the most and that is bread with vegemite.

He scanned the menus for about ten seconds, until he decided just to order the jajangmyeon and a bibimbap. The order didn't take long to arrive, Yuri took his trays and found one empty table near the window, and decided to sit there.

"Um...Can I sit here? There are no empty tables and you're the only one eating alone..."

He was pretty much gobbling his food down to his throat, when he heard a female voice beside him. He was startled, his cheeks were bloated and haven't chewed his food yet, he looked at the woman and nodded while allowing her to seat in front of him.

The woman looked like in her twenties, her long hair covered his back and her eyes were brown in color matching his hair. She wore a black hat and a black hoodie as if to hide her identity.

Yuri took a glance or two towards the woman, but shook his head instead and resumed his meals.

The Jajangmyeon and the bibimbap he ordered were gone in just a second. He was eating like there was no tomorrow, maybe this was the after-effect of starvation that he felt inside the game. He was satisfied and sighed a relief, while the woman in front of him was speechless at the sight, and let out a chuckle.

He heard the chuckle and got back to reality, he was embarrassed by his behavior and apologized, afraid if his behavior was making her lose an apetite.

"I-I'm so sorry..."

"Ah! You don't have to be sorry." She was startled by the sudden apology, but smiled after.

"I-I'm going first then."

Yuri grabbed his trays and rushed towards the counter. The woman chuckled finding his reaction a bit funny, she was done with her meals too and decided to follow along.

"How much is it?"

"Ah! It's a free service for you, Mr. Yuri."

"No. Here take this, and tell the chef I like the food."

Yuri opened up his wallet, and take out his credit card. There isn't much going on inside his wallet, only a couple of things can be found there, the most important was his license, and his sister photos, and also the Emperor's Destiny game card.

"B-but..."

"Just take it."

"Yes, sir..."

The woman was standing behind him, without his knowledge. She heard the whole conversations and deduced that Yuri was some sort of an elite, but from his personality, he wasn't the type that arrogant young masters had.

"You play Emperor's Destiny?" The woman asked.

"AH!" Yuri was startled, he didn't see that the woman was standing behind him.

The woman chuckled, and asked again, "Do you play Emperor's Destiny?"

"Yes..."

"What's your level?"

"Um...Three..."

The woman's eyes sparkled hearing the answer. She played the game too, well, the majority of people in Korea played it too, so it wasn't that surprising, but what are the odds finding one in the real world, mostly they were found online in the forums or through mutual friends.

"You played in the evening? What town are you in?"

"Y-Yes? Stonehelm...Why are you asking me this question?"

"Let's party this evening then, I'm in Stonehelm too."

"Huh?"

"Oh! I haven't introduced myself yet, I'm Yang So-Hee, while in the game my name is Kiya." So-hee smiled.

Yuri was stunned by the sudden rush of information. He tried to process all of it and crammed it inside his mind.

"Yuri, Yuri Adams...My in game name is Yurian."

"You're that Yuri Adams! I knew you looked familiar." So-hee yelled, inviting the people on the cafe attention.

"Shhh!!!"

"Oh...Hehehe..." So-hee covered his mouth and chuckled.

"If that's all I'm going to take my leave Ms. So-hee." Yuri can't stand the crowd staring at him and decided to excuse himself first.

"Hey! Wait up!"

So-hee paid her bills and rushed, following Yuri to the parking lots. She bombards Yuri with tons of question. Even though she knew Yuri identity, all she asked were about the game and nothing about him.

She's addicted, is this the new virus...He had a headache dealing with So-hee, in all of his life experiences, he never met someone like her, but, it's not like he hated it, in fact, he felt close and natural talking to her.

"I'll contact you in the game! Wait for me okay!"
