I Live To Play VR-MMORPG

I have finally uploaded the games on Newgrounds, a website where people could upload their work for free and also earn money from the advertis.e.m.e.nts revenue.

The problem was that to get the money I'll need a bank account or I can't receive the money from their side.

I can't use Father's bank account, he'll freak out when he sees the number of money that flowed in.

The only trustable and dependable a.d.u.l.t which I know...

I can't think of another person other than the Old Man.

Old Man is a dense and simple-minded person. He would question where I get the money and if I explained it to him, he won't ask anything further.

He's the type that only ask what but not why, especially if it's something too complex.

If I could use his bank account, I could ask him to buy furniture for us without father suspecting anything.

Yawn*

As expected, this undeveloped body of mine can't go on without sleeping a day.

Currently, I could barely keep my eyes open, my body keeps telling me to rest but I was forcing it to be awake.

The result of doing that was obvious, I can no longer move my body properly as it tries to shut down whenever I let my guard down.

I wanted to sleep but I can't sleep yet, I still need to tell the Old Man something before I could rest.

At this moment, since the morning has arrived. Lee naturally woke up.

Just with a slight morning sun rays hit his eyelids, he'll wake up instantly. It was his habit that allowed him to wake up on time and goes to work every day without the help of a clock alarm.

Yawn*

The moment he opens his eyes, he saw Andy was sitting in front of a computer, bobbing his head up and down, trying to not sleep.

"Andy, You didn't sleep the entire night?"

Seeing my weird behavior, Lee could easily guess that I didn't sleep at all but somehow Lee's complexion was worse than mine.

Of course, I didn't notice it as I was fighting with my brain that tries to shut down desperately.

"Huh? Oh? Um... Ah... I can't sleep, so I ugh... thought I... why not just play games! So I did!"

I could barely talk properly, with my current condition, my brain was half-awake. Thankfully, I could still answer the question as I wanted when I tried.

If I told him that I made a game while they're sleeping, Father will not believe me.

I can't tell him the truth yet, I would tell him when I am older or else it wouldn't be convincing.

"I guess it's hard to sleep after what just happen."

It was what happened to him this night. He was too stressed, resulting in himself struggling just to sleep.

As a father, he was constantly thinking about what should he do, what could he do.

This place is not feasible for staying too long. He needs to find a real place to stay!

He has been thinking for the whole night. He could either rebuild the house or sell the land and use the money to rent a place to stay.

Rebuilding the house is not an option, it'll take too long. While the house was being built they can't keep staying at this convenience store.

Well, he could if he tried but he needs to think of his children.

The only feasible option was to sell the land and use the money to rent a place.

Thankfully, his important things such as his IC, ATM card, Bank Account card, passport, and money, were inside of his wallet.

If not, many troublesome things would need to be done before he could get his land certificate to sell the plot of land that he owned.

So today, he needs to quickly find a place to stay and the next day he'll need to buy everything necessary which was lost from the accident. For example, Andy's school uniforms and other uniforms that fall under the category of clothes and other things that he needs to buy would be daily necessities such as soaps, toothbrushes, and so on.

"You should just rest here and wait for me. Father will find us a place to stay."

Hearing that Father wanted to leave when it's this early, I jolted my brain and force every ounce of myself together.

"No dad, wait. There's no need to search for a place. This convenience store has a second floor. The owner said that he's willing to rent to people. It's just that the second floor is very dusty and we need to buy the furniture if we want to stay."

"Really? Did the owner really said that?"

"Yeah, we'll wait for the owner to come. He'll arrive shortly, it should be the time he comes and opens the store already."

As soon as I said that, the old man coincidentally arrived.

"Good morning."

Seeing our face, the old man twitched his eyes.

"You guys actually slept in here?"

Realizing that he shouldn't have said that, the old man approached Lee to shake his hand.

"You must be this kid's father. Nice to meet you!"

"Y-yeah. Nice to meet you too"

Both of the a.d.u.l.ts greeted each other. Lee didn't respond in a high-spirited manner but the Old Man didn't blame him.

"By the way, Is the second floor is for rent? How much would it be for a month? If it's possible can we discuss it?"

Lee got straight to the point, it was good but this was too quick!

I can't discuss my plan with the old man yet!

"Uh? I can rent them to you if you want, I will only take 100.000 per month for the rent, but you'll have to pay the electricity and water bill by yourself. More importantly, you'll have to clean and furnish the whole floor by yourself. The third floor is yours too if you guys want them. I have no use for it either."

"No, just one floor is fine, We'll take it! How would you like it? Pay it with cash or transfer it to your account?"

"I guess transfer it to my account. This is my account number and the bank."

The old man showed Lee his card after Lee copied down everything he needed he left to get his motorcycle and should be heading to the bank.

As Father finally left, this is a good opportunity to talk to the Old Man.

"Old Man, can you tell me your account number too? I need it."

"For what?"

The old man immediately questioned me, for the reason as there's no clear explanation of why would he give me his account number.

"I need to send money to your account too. I'm making money on the internet but I can't tell my father."

"Why not?"

"You see, I was-"

"Don't."

Old Man used his hand and covered my mouth, stopping me from continuing explaining the reason.

"Don't mind what I just asked, I'll just give you my account number. The money, what will you do with them?"

"To buy furniture, but don't tell father that it was from me. Just say that you want to help us okay?"

"You sure that, the money will be enough to buy furniture?"

"I'm sure."

Haha...

Starting with "You see~" was something that the Old Man hate.

He immediately stopped me from continuing, he's still the same as usual.

...

...

Andy has reached his limit. He fell asleep while talking to the Old Man.

Though he managed to tell his plan to the Old Man, he has yet put the Old Man's bank account on his Newgrounds account.

[Old Man's POV]

Sigh*

I guess he used this computer to do whatever thing he needs to do.

I wanted to carry Andy to another place but noticed a boy was standing behind me.

Both of them look very similar, Giant stature, ferocious look, tough-looking kid.

This must be his big brother.

"Hellow~ you must be his big brother?"

"Yeah."

"Then I'll leave your brother to you. You'll take care of him, is that fine with you?"

Mervin nodded but then asked a question.

"What did Andy said about keeping secret from father. He's earning money to buy furniture?"

...

Shoot!

This kid overheard the conversation.

"Uh..."

I struggled to reply to him but then realized that Andy only stated that he can't tell Lee but not Mervin.

The pressure instantly vanished as I begin to tell him everything I knew.

"What did he do on the internet?"

"That... I have yet found out but I should be able to know it once I open the computer."

"Go and search what he did, now!"

Scary~~

I was intended to do it anyway... no need to glare at me like that.

This big brother of his, why is he so different from Andy in personality.

Andy is a kind and polite boy while he's crazily ferocious.

I went and do what I was told.

Since, the CPU was already on, I only turned on the monitor.

The first thing I saw was a webpage called Newgrounds, I looked around the page and found out it was a place to play games.

So this is the rumored, website games.

This piqued my interest as I only played Warcraft III and Counter-Strike at my internet cafe. I don't try other games because they don't look very fun.

Maybe I could give this a try.

Let's try to look at the most popular games.

At this moment, I have already forgotten about my primary objective.

The number one ranked game looks very intresting, it was called Hero.

I clicked on it and wait for it to load.

With my slow internet connection, it took a while before it finally finishes the loading.

Upon the game finished its loading.

It started its storytelling.

[The world was in chaos...]

[Dark creatures called demons suddenly appeared from portals]

[As they stepped into the world, they started slaughtering every human they meet]

[Mankind tried to fight back but the demons were too strong]

[Years passed and they're on the verge of extinction]

[Only a few survived in this disastrous world]

[One day, Inside of a holy temple]

[A holy maiden was performing a forbidden summoning magic which she acquired from a labyrinth]

[The holy maiden need to sacrifice her body in this summoning but if it's to save the world she would do it]

[The summoning was succeeded, a powerful-looking youth was summoned but the maiden was gone]

[Before she perished she left a letter]

[You are Hero!]

[Hero that will save the world from demons!]

[Go forth my Hero!]

Wow!

Was every website game this badass-looking?

The story contained a slight animation of what's going on.

Even though they only moved a little, just that much was able to impress me.

More than that, the story was intresting too!

If every website game was as badass as this game, I should probably try more website games from now on.

After the storytelling was finally over, it's time to play the game.

I hope that the art style was as good as the gameplay.

I mean, this was the most popular game so it shouldn't be that bad.

[Click at the demon to attack]

...

[Use your skill, Berserk Mode to deal 200% damage every click for ten seconds]

...

[Hire Raymond, The Warrior]

...

[You encountered a powerful demon! Slay him to get an artifact!]

...

This is just me cl.i.c.k.i.n.g and upgrading things repeatedly right?

It supposed to be boring.

But why?

I can't stop playing this game at all! It's too addicting!

I need to hire a stronger character! Just 1 million gold more and I'll have an easy time beating the next boss demon.

Argh, why I can't still beat the boss?

Do I really need to restart everything?

I finally unlocked the last character but yet no matter what I still can't win against area 100th area's boss! Are you kidding me?

Then I'll just redo! humph!

You'll see how easy I pass the first area with my artifacts!

It's fine to redo because I can also earn more artifacts!

With more artifacts means that my characters grow stronger!

Right... Just a little bit I can beat the 100th area boss.

A little bit...

While Old Man was playing Hero, Mervin was waiting patiently at the back, while taking care of Andy.

At first, he thought that he was being to rude to the owner and wanted to apologize. He was thinking numerous ways to apologize to the Old Man and finally prepared himself.

When he got there, he changed his mind. That Old Man was playing games. The thing he hated the most.

"Hey, Old Man, I thought I told you to search for what my brother did, not play games right?"

"Ugh... just a little bit."

"..."

"Alright, Alright, but first let me check who made this game. That guy must be a genius to be able to make this addictive game!"

"Let's see... Game developed by LEE123."

"LEE123 huh? I'll remember his name."

Wait...

Lee?

I felt that it's definitely not a coincidence. To confirm my suspicion, I checked the account that I'm currently using.

Just in case...

[Welcome, LEE123]

[Notifications (999!)]

Andy is a genius!
