2 7:35 PM

My name is Daylon Kenzo, 27 years old, I am an office slave, I mean, an office worker. It's been two years since I stopped playing the game ENTER OF ADVENTURE. When I stopped, my life has now become normal, there are no more adventurers or exploring any place.

What am I doing now? Of course, I was watching the martabak artisan cook.

TANG! TING! TANG! TING!

He is very good at using the weapon in his hand, this weapon makes martabak dough into a delicious dish. Some of the people behind me are also looking at the martabak artisan cooking, they are queuing quietly.

"Your order is ready, sir!"

When he called me, I went straight to him.

"Ah, yes…." I paid for it and left.

The reason I bought a martabak was that I was working late at my office today, so for dinner, I only had egg martabak, nothing special. Even so, this martabak is delicious, you know, I recommend it.

As I walked towards my office, for some reason today there were so many people on the street. They always talk about the tournament and also mention the game ENTER OF ADVENTURE.

"I can't wait to see the Bengawan Club fight."

"Yes, me too. I also want to see Dark69 finish off his opponent."

"Oh, he huh. It's been eleven years since the game ENTER OF ADVENTURE was released, but no one can match him yet. He's great."

"Yes, he's great."

"He said he would show his face, you know, in the tournament later."

"Really? Finally…."

"Yes, I wonder what his face is like, maybe he's handsome."

"I'm curious too."

I passed them who was busy chatting with a total of 4 people and did not care. Whatever it is, whether it's the ENTER OF ADVENTURE game or something else, I have nothing to do with it; I've become a normal human life now.

Before my feet stepped on the pedestrian ladder, I looked at my watch for a moment.

"Ah, ah... it turns out, it's already 7 o'clock."

The hour hand has shown 7:00 pm, I haven't eaten anything yet, even though my break time will run out soon, 7:30 p.m. I couldn't imagine how that woman, my boss, would get mad at me later. Honestly, she was fierce, even fiercer than the owner of my boarding house.

Even so, she was beautiful and had an aura of leadership. She is not a company manager or secretary, but the owner of the company. She is an independent woman, even after her father died, she continued to build and continue her father's company well. But still, she was "fierce".

While walking I thought of something. I thought, why is my boss still in her office when she should be a busy woman. This bothers me a little and makes me not want to go back to my office.

I have worked for more than 5 years in her company which is engaged in the Online Shop, but I have not felt my position increased or my salary has increased, this is unfair to me, even though I have been working hard all this time. While that woman, my boss, is still in her office, I will try to talk about it and ask for my promotion, which previously only served customers — will turn into CEO — is perfect for me.

"Hahaha." I laugh while walking even though many people look at me suspiciously, but I don't care.

***

After walking for 500 meters, I finally arrived at the entrance to my office.

"Tiring," I said, weary.

With a sweet smile, the security guard greeted me when I entered, and I also smiled at him even though we are both men and employees of this company.

Before I headed to the elevator, I checked the surroundings. In the lobby it feels lonely, there are only a few employees who are still pacing, maybe because indeed the hours have passed several hours ago, and the employees in the lobby are employees who are overtime.

Therefore, after I looked around, I went straight to where the elevator was.

When I hit the elevator button, I thought for a moment to choose something.

"Should I go to her office, or should I come back?"

If I want to ask for my promotion, then I have to go to my boss's office to talk to her. And if I return to my computer desk, then my position will be in the same position. It's a tough choice, even for myself.

Before the elevator doors opened, I muttered:

"Umm... I'll just go to the room."

The elevator doors opened after I said that, and I went inside and pressed the "30" button to get to the 30th floor, which was my boss's room. To get to the 30th floor, access is required using the employee ID Card, which is next to the elevator buttons.

The 30th floor is unique compared to the other floors, I've been there once, there is only one room, that is my boss's room. Floor 30 is designed for my boss to live, and she occupies it. It's unique on the 30th floor, even I was there for the first time, I was surprised to see it.

When the elevator door opened, I immediately saw a wall and a door made of iron, beside which was a device to contact my boss and ask permission to enter her room. My hunch behind the door is that my boss is inside, and she doesn't leave the room because it's still recessed.

I stood at the door and looked at the device, which had so many buttons and cameras. The buttons have various types of writing; Employees, Office Boy, Security Guard, Secretary, Manager, Treasurer, and Cleaning Service.

Since I'm an employee, I pressed the "Employee" button once.

The first one there was no answer, so I pressed it again.

"Is she downstairs?"

There was no answer after I pressed it several times, even up to 10 times.

"Where is she going?" I looked at my watch and saw that it was already 7:15 pm.

Since I had time, I sat back against the wall and opened the martabak, which I bought earlier, and started eating it.

"Still fifteen minutes. Maybe, she's in the shower."

If I waited for her outside, she would likely be out after 7:30 pm to keep an eye on her staff. Well, it's all just my gut feeling.

"Aa…."

However, she doesn't come out, even I've been waiting for her for 20 minutes, and even my martabak is gone.

Waiting too long, I tried to quickly push the button again, to make sure she was inside. However, she never opened the door.

I tried another way, which is to open the door.

"Aa… it's not locked."

And it turns out that the door is unlocked, so why am I waiting for it? This is a waste of time to her name.

I went inside, saw that the room, which was only one square, was filled; chairs and tables, calendars, wall clocks, laptops, trash cans, photo frames, other doors, and a glass signboard — read, "Mutiara Anisa".

I didn't see a single sign of life in here, not even the chair she was supposed to be sitting on, nor was anyone occupied.

"She disappeared." I looked around and walked toward another door, which was not far behind her chair.

Behind that door, I don't know what's wrong because I've never been there, so it makes me a little curious. Many people say that the 30th floor is a place to live for her, so maybe behind the door, there are other rooms, such as; bedroom, bathroom, living room, dining room, and more.

Since I like to explore places, it doesn't mean I'm impudent, so I intend to go inside.

To make sure she was inside, I knocked on the door first, but no one opened it. Since no one opened it, I immediately opened the door.

"Excuse me…." I was surprised when I saw it. "Woah, so big."
