Outside the game, Roan woke up from his slumber with a red siren on his face.
Trrr trrrr
He remembered logging out of the game but was so tired that he slept inside the gaming pod.
He dragged himself out of the gaming pod and sat on the bed, staring back at the gaming pod. Why the hell thing became like this? He could not believe the thing going on in the game. He stared at the gaming pod, questioning his life. His mind was in a completely messed up state right now.
Everything was going great according to plan, but then why the hell was he transferred to the void? Out of know where he wasted over 4 days doing nothing. This time was so much important for him, but here he was not even capable of moving his body in the game.
His eyes were itching. This sleep was not enough to cope with his mental exhaustion. He looked at the time only to find it was the start of the 3rd day.
"Hehe, even half-day sleep did not help me much." He really wanted to blast the gaming pod and stopped playing the game altogether. The most fcked up thing that made him mad was he was in there for over 1 and a half days and during that, nothing happen.
"The fcking change only happens when I logged out. Fck Fck!" He screamed at the gaming pod. This fcking game left him in suspense, fck he wanted to jump in the game to find out what the hell was going on at that time.
He was so helpless right now. There were so many plans in his mind that he needed to work on. The city was a mess. Abyss was on his head, Blaze was ready to strike. He then had so many loans that needed to pay back. He even had the gut feeling that Dungeon might get attacked this time.
So many things and each of them could lead to dire consequences. "I am fcked, sigh." There was nothing he could do except hope to get out of that void. The guild would chew him if they knew his dire situation.
There was a chance for him to recover from this loss, but man time was key. He knew he had created something crazy in that egg. But because of this, if he missed the coming war, then…
He shook his head and got up from the bed. Not wanting to see the gaming pod right now, he walked down, only to find Dhruv and Aria sitting at the table, waiting for him.
He looked at Aria and said, "Give me some food."
She stared at his face and then rushed to the kitchen.
He turned to look at Dhruv and bowed his head. "Sorry, but I cannot help it."
Dhruv stared at him with a concerned look on his face. "Brother, are you okk?"
He just nodded his head and looked up at the ceiling.
"You don't look right!"
He glanced down and said, "I am just a little tired, nothing much."
Dhruv stared at him, saying nothing.
Roan knew that he broke the promise, but he really was helpless in this situation. He closed his eyes, waiting for food to come.
After some time, Aria came back with food in her hand. Not wasting any time he jumped on it and started stuffing food in his mouth.
Aria said to him, "Sir, you should eat less this time."
He looked up at her face in confusion.
She asked, "You don't remember the today event that you need to attain."
He shook his head at her.
"Sir, you need to go to the gathering that your friend invited you."
Dhruv said from the side, "Idiot brother, you accepted his invitation in the car."
He looked up and gulped down his food. "I am too tired to go out right now."
"But sir, you make so many plans for today's meeting and now you backing at the last moment."
Dhruv looked back at forth between Roan and Aria. "Brother, this is a splendid chance for you to get some air. You need to go out."
He look at Dhruv and mumbled, "But I want to sleep again."
Dhruv crossed his hand and said in a firm tone. "No whining, go to the party."
He just helplessly nodded his head. Having a brother was annoying sometimes. He increased the amount of food going in his mouth.
"Big sis dragged the plate away from him."
'Waaaaaa' he looked at Dhruv with wide eyes. Aria did not waste any time and snatched the plate from his hand.
He stared at her, "Why the hell did you bring so much in the first place then? This is a bully."
Dhruv said to him, "Stop complaining like a kid. Grow up."
He looked at Aria and then at Dhruv. "you guys are teaming up on me."
Dhruv looked dead in Roan eyes and said, "Do I need to team up to deal with you?"
"B-" Roan tried to speak only for Dhruv to place one finger on his lips. This made Roan quiet down.
Dhruv said, "Idiot brother, you broke your promise and now you dare to argue with me."
Roan bowed, "Sorry sir, this slave forget its place."
"Stop acting like this and get ready for the party. "
Roan looked up and asked, "Anything more, sir?"
"Yes, we need to go to school. They send a notification for my absence."
Roan scratched his head. "Ahh, but you are not planning to go to school, right? What the problem then?"
Dhruv slapped his forehead at this. "Idiot, we need to do some paperwork for me to leave school. That is the rule. I can't just stop going to school like this."
Roan nodded his head, "So we just need to go to school, right?"
Dhruv shook his head. "Nope, there is a problem. I need a guardian to leave the school."
"What the problem then? I can be your guardian."
Dhruv squinted at Roan. "You are really stupid in everything except the game. Idiot you are 20. You can't be a guardian before 21."
