3 Let the games begin!

"Dont worry, we all have some difficult days, have you already eaten something? I've brought food from my restaurant ..." Evan said, after seeing Kioh's condition he felt that everything was not as simple as it seemed ...

"I only ate some eggs from some beast that was inside the refrigerator ... a question, do you know how I can play the" Icaro project "?" Kioh could not leave the mission aside, if he failed he would be on the verge of death ...

Evan was so surprised that his jaw was going to hit the ground, it could be that this young man ate the eggs that had time out for 2 weeks, did not he? Besides, he has not even cooked them, because there is nothing used ... There is not even anything in the garbage. It was not enough for you to eat 4 expired and raw eggs, that you did not even leave the skin, did you? What eggs of some beast? Are hens beasts? This guy should definitely continue drunk.

"I hope your stomach is as formidable as your appetite ..." Evan did not know whether to laugh or cry. He used to eat out because he was always working in his restaurant. He did not usually check the food in the refrigerator ... Anyway, he trusted that he was really playing a joke and simply threw them away because it was time out, that would have more logic not?

Kioh roared with laughter, "Do not worry, my friend, my stomach is hard as steel jet, only surpassed by my ability sipping drinks." He could not help but brag, after being an immortal for so many years, how would his habits change in a few days? Besides, he always boasted with his Taoist companions that he always ate and drank until he satisfied the content of his heart.

"... is this a hidden camera joke? Ah whatever it is, let's eat the food that I brought it would be a waste to throw it away." . Evan felt frustrated, how could someone so strange be in this world?

"About the Icaro Project, are you also crazy about playing? It seems that it is the latest fashion, everyone is almost crazy about playing, since it came out 6 months ago it has not stopped growing ... To play you need an immersion capsule, they are not excessively expensive, the government has even enabled several centers with immersion capsules that charge according to the hours you use it ... "Evan explained patiently.

"Uhm interesting, how can I get money fast? The pills should be pretty expensive here ..." Kioh shuddered, needed to get inside that damn game before the time was up, and he did not have time to spare, nor did he want to abuse the gratitude of this mortal, if not, would already pass his moral limit.

"Damn, who's this person? How dare he talk about drugs with a stranger? What big fish had he accidentally caught? This man is a spiral of trouble ..." Evan was speechless, his kindly nature could not help feeling Compassion, maybe he could get this man out of the dark world of drugs ... Besides, he does not look like a bad person.

"Drugs are not an option, it's not worth it to waste your life for a little money, we need a kitchen assistant in my restaurant, if you do not mind learning for a few days you could work there for the moment if you need money... "Evan offered this, a waiter was also missing, but he was afraid of the havoc it could cause ...

"There is no justice in the heavens, an emperor is going to cook for mortals, I think all this is a test of destiny ... but I can not really reject it, otherwise, I will fail the mission ..." Kioh was caught between the sword and the wall, I knew that this was the only solution and also he was doing her a great favor ... Also, I felt that Evan was not cheating on the drug business, the immortal pills had no effect here? But there were no adequate herbs either.

"Then I'll have to thank you for the offer, the truth is that I really need the money ..." Kioh left his pride aside, there were more important things.

"It's done, tomorrow you start, it's the best if you need the money, you can stay at my house while you're looking for a place, anyway I live alone and most of the time I'm in the restaurant" Evan announcement, it seems that at least this man had the will to start again correctly, it is comforting to see that people really wanted to change for the better he thought in his mind.

The lunch passed silently, both were deep in thought, as well as busy devouring the food ...

"By the way you need to recover your ID card, you will need it for several things, it is also necessary for work, even to play that game you will need it, if you want tomorrow is my rest day, I can accompany you to the office, Anyway let me fingerprint that will make it easier ... "Evan could not help remembering this to Kioh, he knew that this man was a disaster, and to lead him back on the right track he could not let go.

Kioh left the mark on Evan's smartphone. It was not strange, several technologies of this type existed in the importal world.

Kioh felt guilty, how many favors he owes to a mere mortal, he was thinking of ways to return the favor, but he could only think about working this afternoon, even if it was not counted as a favor, but he hoped to help.

"Can I start work this afternoon?" Kioh asked, could hardly repress the embarrassment, since when an immortal was begging to work as a kitchen assistant?

"Of course, you can get familiar with the facilities and the cooks, so tomorrow will be easier for you, and now there are not too many people in the restaurant so I can help you out." Evan was surprised, it seems that this guy was not as bad as he seemed ...

They just took a taxi, and in 20 minutes they arrived at a two-storey building, with large windows that let people see an interior decorated in a minimalist style, you could see the restaurant almost full, it seems that the business was not bad. Evan did a simple tour of the restaurant, giving him detailed advice, and let him familiarize himself with the method of work, sometimes it is better for people to draw their own conclusions. So time passes.

A few hours passed, and Kioh began to notice a throbbing pain in his stomach, but he was embarrassed to show it, so he ran to the bathroom, closed the door and threw himself to the floor, he could hardly stand the pain.

"Damn you poisoned me? Were the eggs of a poisonous beast? What was going on? I should not have any enemies here ..." Kiohr calling out to Evan as he could not find a solution with his mortal body, Evan seeing Kioh's state quickly called a taxi and took him to a hospital.

When Kioh opened his eyes he saw that he was in a white room, with several strange devices at his sides, and he was sitting on a bed. "I have unbelievably fainted from the pain ... Life as a mortal is dangerous."

When he saw that he was awake, the nurse in charge told him what had happened, the food he consumed was contaminated, in addition to suffering from anemia and a high level of exhaustion, his body collapsed, but it was not serious. In fact, he was fine, but he would have to take care of himself next time, or he could develop some kind of illness.

A few hours later he spoke with Evan through the hospital phone, he asked for the basic information to make the identification card, since while he had been unconscious he had used his fingerprint to obtain the identification card, but it seemed that there was no identification, So he did one, in the office he was told it would be due to a system error, he had no problem. Kioh gave him all the information and the one who did not know he just invented it thanks to the general information that the clock had given him.

[The host has not completed the mission, the next mission will double its difficulty]

[Main Mission: Playing the Icaro Project as swordsman]

[Last Limit: 24h]

"Damn, have I really been here two days unconscious?" Kioh was on the verge of tears, how hard was it to play a game in the mortal world?

While he was thinking this, a nurse told him that there was a taxi waiting at the door to his name, Kioh quickly dressed Evan's old clothes, and went down as quickly as possible, his life was at stake. On the way home, he could not help feeling nervous, he only had 1 day to play that damn game, it seems he would have to borrow money from Evan ...

Kioh had never felt so helpless, but he knew it was his fault for his imprudence, if he kept walking down this path, only death awaited him. When he saw Evan, his eyes shone, he knew that this mortal was probably his only option to continue living.

"I need you to lend me money, I have to play the Icaro Project immediately, I know it sounds absurd but it's a matter of life or death." Kioh said this while getting ready to kneel, revenge weighed much more than his pride.

"Damn, this guy has lost his mind." It was the first thing Evan thought, "maybe he was delirious because he was insensible for 2 days, and all he needs is rest ..."

Although a person who is unconscious for 2 days to eat like a savage and also the first question after arriving from the hospital is to play a game ... no, it was not normal.

"You do not need the money, I really have an immersion capsule in my room if you want, you can use it, anyway I stopped playing ..." Evan, showed him the capsule in his room while he spoke.

"How do I use it?" Kioh could not afford to fail, so this time he had to be safe.

"Just turn it on before entering, and go in. It is not very difficult, to play the game just think it when you are inside and it would be, you will have two days off because you are still a bit weak, but the next few days do not miss work, or I will fire you. " He could not help but get serious, he had been taking care of this guy for 4 days, and he still had not got a shred of him in return ...

"Ok, boss, this time I will not fail you, I owe you my life." He said honestly, without this mortal he might still be on the street without having achieved anything, so his attitude changed 360 degrees. After this brief conversation Kioh started the capsule and went inside.

"The technology of this world is incredible to be mere mortal beings ..." He could not help but exclaim.

He thought about Icaro Project and his screen changed, a world full of colors appeared in front, you could see great peaks, sharp as if they were swords, big forests, deserts, lakes. The landscape was incredibly beautiful, you could appreciate the great investment of money. Even so, this did not surprise Kioh, in the immortal world there were much more impressive landscapes...

A text appeared in front of him ...

[Welcome to Icaro Project where you can show your true value to the world, you will be invoked in a random beginner city, we wish you good luck in your adventure. But before this you will have to choose a battle specialty that will be based on the weapon you use, or a support specialty, which is based on two main branches, herbology or blacksmithing.]

"Battle specialty, Sword!" Kioh did not hesitate a second to respond.
