7 Frustrated Harry

Five minutes later, a red car parked close to where Harry sat. Raising his head to see who it was, he was surprised to see that it was the brown hair guy. The same one who saved him from Emily's sexually starved employee's clutches.

"Boss, there is a huge problem!" Graviel announced in a serious tone. His terrified expression showed that he wasn't kidding around.

"What's is your name and what is the problem?" Harry asked in a composed tone. His once angry expression gradually return to normal.

"Graviel Grey," Graviel replied. He thought Harry must have forgotten his name as a result of his previous accident. "Demon Slayer game has been infected by an unknown virus."

Graviel waited for his boss to say something.

Although Harry didn't understand what Graviel was saying he decided to play along.

"The software engineers should have resolved the problem so why do you look so worried?" Harry asked. 

According to what Emily told him, his company is the biggest game company in the country so he believes they should have a good team's responsible for the security of the company's gaming software.

"They have tried everything possible but unfortunately they haven't been able to resolve the issue. I had no choice but to come to you since you are very good at such things," Graviel said in a serious tone. If only Graviel knew that the one sitting in front of him wasn't the boss he knew.

"Are you sure they have tried everything?" Harry asked looking surprised that an excellent team like the number one game company could not tackle a bug.

"Yes, I was with them throughout the period," Graviel replied in a firm tone.

Just then realisation struck Harry. He subconsciously stood up to his feet when he recalled the notification the screen gave him.

'All his stats including his wealth point will decrease if he fails to accomplish the mission'.

This is what the system had told him when he was given the mission.

'So this is what the system meant by my wealth point will decrease if I fail to complete this mission? The game is more real than I thought!' 

Another realisation struck Harry. He began panicking at the thought his wealth will continue to decrease each time he fails a mission.

He turned to face the guy standing in front of him waiting for his instructions. "Do you have any food with you?" Harry instead of giving Graviel the answer he needed instead ask for food.

"Don't give me that look. I asked you for food because I haven't eaten the entire day. I am afraid I might collapse before we even get to resolve the issue," Harry explained when he saw the way Graviel was staring at him like someone who has gone insane.

'I asked him for the solution to the virus and he asked me for food? Is he insane or what?'

He was sure that this was what Graviel was thinking when he asked him for food.

"Ok, wait here. I will buy you food from your favourite restaurant~,"

"I also need a cell phone, can you also get that for me too?" Harry asked in neither a polite nor rude manner. Graviel put his right hand into his black trouser pockets and brought out a golden colour cellphone.

"This is your cell phone, boss," Graviel handed the cell phone over to Harry. "Go through the phone, who knows you might be able to recall a lot of things," Graviel turned to leave after giving the cell phone to his boss.

"I will be back in a jiffy," Graviel went to get the food his boss asked for. Harry watched as the red sports car drive away.

"Since there is nothing I can do to resolve the virus issue then I think replenishing my energy by boosting is the only solution," Harry heaved as he sat staring at the lonely road.

Eating was among his daily quest but the wealth point won't increase if he eats. Only the other stats will improve. The only way he could turn the situation around is by eating so he could continue with this quest.

If he could grant two more greatest wishes before midnight only then the problem will get resolved.

Harry sat there thinking about all he had gone through since he woke up. 'Was waking up by chance after dying a blessing or a curse?' 

He couldn't help thinking about all he went through less than twenty-four hours he woke up from the dead.

Everything still felt like a dream to him. A very bad nightmare.

Harry was still in deep thoughts when his eyes landed on a man in rags searching through a refuse dump. 

The way the man search the refuse dump looked like there was a particular thing he was searching for and when he couldn't find it, he sat down there with a steel plate in his front.

"This is my greatest chance to execute my daily task. I am sure he won't think of me as a psychopath as others do," Harry stood up from where he sat and decided to try his luck.

At least there was no harm in trying but he will be the one losing if he doesn't try.

The starving and exhausted Harry approached the haggard-looking man. He squats in front of the man, pulls off his black jacket and gave it to the middle-aged man. He used this opportunity to hold the man's hands.

"What is your greatest wish?" Harry asked, his gaze centred on the man's face. The way he acted was as if the man won't utter a word to him if he doesn't look him in the face.

'You have to tell me your greatest wish. That way, I will know that I only have one more to go'. The anxious Harry continued looking at the man and the man only gaze back at him not uttering a word.

"What do you desire the most?" Harry repeated the same question again
