Chapter 53 - Conversation

At this moment Sage jump out of the bed and took a cold shower to calm himself down.

Seeing an unfamiliar room Alex was dazed and recalled what just happened.

Ting!

[What are your deepest desire Silver?]

Alex can't help frowned upon seeing the notification in from of him. It was odd it was not a normal notification that announce some information but rather it was a question.

Alex did not answer that question he knows that his deepest desire is not something that can be bought out in the light.

His deepest desire was is also his big secret. He would let anyone know about when he was confused why he did have that desire even before the Desire Game came to this world.

He notice that some were taking a shower in the bathroom. He guess that it was Sage since he was the only one with him.

Ting! Ting!

[Silver you can't deny it no matter what you do]

Alex can't help frowned as he read the notification floating in from him.

"What if it's the only this I can do?" Alex said to himself.

Click

The door of the bathroom opens and Alex saw Sage walk out with only a towel covering the lower half of his body.

"Good Morning, M-Sage," Alex said with a smile on his face.

"Oh! Good morning" Sage was a bit stunned to see Alex was already woken up but he still manage to greet back.

Alex decided to take a shower too.

Sage was stunned to see Alex calm after what just happened. " Dont tell me he is an expert in this kind of situation?"

He still decided to wait for Alex so that they two can talk about their situation before they met his parents.

Inside the Bathroom, Alex was staring blanking in the air and letting the cold water from the shower pour down to him.

"Desire! Desire! Desire!" Alex said like he was losing control repeatedly with madness in his eyes.

Alex manage to calm down and realized that the Desire Game was provoking his hidden desire that he kept secret for as long he can remember.

Outside Sage was already dressed and went outside and look for Alex's younger brother Alexis for his clothes.

He notice that Alex did have his luggage in the room so it might be with his younger brothers.

Knock! Knock!

Sage waited patiently outside the door. After a few minutes, the door opened with Alexis was already freshened up.

"Sorry I was at the bathroom just now," Alexis said with a smile on his face.

"No it ok, Your brother took a shower but his luggage was not there. I cant to get it for him" Sage explained.

"Ok," Alexis guild Sage inside and point his older brother's luggage.

Before Sage left the room Alexis said something that stunned him.

"So he was already married" Sage can help feel dissipation for some reason.

It made him think that their situation is more complicated adding the fact that Alex was already married and now the due to the Desire Game they had a son out of nowhere.

Alexis observed Sage's expression when he said about his older brother being married.

"This person is like an open book. His emotion is easy to read. But he seems honest enough" Alexis said to the person on the other line and end it immediately.

No the other side on the line was Alex 2nd. A rare cold expression on his face can be seen.

"Tck!" Alex's 2nd expression is his dissatisfaction with the situation.

Sage came back he was already welcomed by Alex with an only towel on.

"Thanks," Alex said as he notice that Sage came back with his luggage with a smile on his face.

Sage just smiles back and sits in a chair across the room.

Alex opens his luggage and picks something to wear. Alex already notice that Sage had no plan to leave the room.

"It seems he wants to talk with me before me having a conversation with his family," Alex said to himself.

Sage was lost on how calmed Alex and his brother. But it made him think that Zackary's personality is closer to Alex than him.

Zackary might be a cheerful child but Sage can notice the maturity in his eyes.

"So what's your plan with our son Zackary?" Sage asked.

"You and him coming with me back" Alex answered.

"You want me to come to?" Sage asked with a surprise on his face.

"I became a married man and had a son outside marriage to this Desire Game. I just imagine it" Alex said plainly.

Sage was stunned to hear Alex's claims at first he want to deny it but realized that he was involved with it he was no choice to believe it.

Seeing that Sage was silent and seem no plan to comment on what he just said.

"Denying is easy than accepting the truth you know," Alex said with a smile on his face and sit on the bed.

"That's true" Sage replied.

"Dont overthink these things. It happened due to the things we have no control. We just need to accept them as it is" Alex advises Sage and stands and way towards the door.

"Where are you going?" Sage cant help ask.

"Zackary might be hungry right now," Alex said and left the room.

"Sigh, his personality from the game and reality is also identical" Sage with a smile on his smile the confusion on his mind was solved due to what Alex just said to him.

"What do I desire?" Sage can't help asking himself.

Ting! Ting!

[Do you want to know what you desire M-Sage?]

"What the hell?" Sage was stunned to see the notification it came like a ghost it came without notice and vanished in the blink of an eye.

It even made Sage wonder he was just seeing things.

"Sigh, I might just stress with what is going on," Sage said to himself and chose to forget that just happened.

Unfortunately, he did not share this information with Alex it might help Alex research about the Desire Games.
