4 +4 Greed Connect

"Huh!? I got accepted?"

I said surprisingly. The mail was worth my surprised reaction cause in tha Application Form there was a question ,

"Why should we choose you"

And I only wrote one sentence there that being ,

"I'm just bored of my life."

I was thinking that chances of me being chose were the least , but this outcome really surprised me. Hearing my words and seeing my reaction , Rin was surprised by seeing me react this way. He took a peek at my mail and became even more surprised.

"Whaaat!? You applied for the Early Access too!? , Seriously you were the least expected person I could think of. You never cease to surprise me , so made you apply for this game. I've never seen you being interested in games."

After hearing the word "too" I thought

'of course Rin also applied for this game , being the addict he is he never misses the game release , beta testing or anything game related. Well atleast he can help me in the game that's a plus point.'

A smirk appeared on my face , dark aura surrounded me. It was as if my face was saying ,

"I can use him , hehehehehe"

A sudden chill ran down Rin's spine. He looked in my direction I replied with a smile.

'That's right even if Rin was bad at studies he was at level of pro's when it came to gaming. I've seen him play with his other friends and he would destroy them even if it was him versus all of them. Rin I'll use you well hehehehehe.'

Rin was sweating seeing that smirk and aura surrounding me. After talking for some time with him I got to know what his notification was about , and it was not hard to predict what it was. For some reason Rin was overjoyed with me being accepted more than me.

I saw his mail every single thing was same just the his beta testing number was different he was 39th player to get accepted. Knowing how good he's good at typing he must've written a paragraph telling them the reason to accept him , that's why he must've taken time.

Rin explained me about VR system which I'd a little knowledge about and recommended me which one to buy. Rin has the Greed ∞ (Z edition) this showed his dedication for eSports he didn't ask for money from his parents he just played tourney , championship's and then bought his own VR system.

'This one of the thing's I respect him for '

I thought. And also one of the reason I'm a compatible friend for him Rin was a hard working guy. His determination and motivation gave me creeps , that guy would play games as if there's no tomorrow to play games.

After being enlightened by Rin-Sensei , we parted at the lift of the apartment. I went in my room and laid down on my bed thinking about today , believe it or not today's day was one of the most eventful day I've had in a while.

After freshing up I opened the refrigerator and drank some grape juice , and picked up phone and called my dad. My relationship with my parent's is very hard to describe , I was a good son but due to some incidents I became more isolated and wouldn't contact them much.

'I blamed them for the thing's they didn't do , I put the blame of my own weaknesses on them. I'm a failure. That's right what did my classmates called? Ahh the 'Failed Genius' suites me.'

Snapping out of my thoughts I called them , and asked them whether it would be possible to buy VR set for me. At first they were surprised seeing me calling them , as the time went we chatted for a while and ended the call with them allowing to buy me VR set.

My parent's were well educated and good pair , they never pressured me to only study. My parent's were doctor's at Continent Zex's best hospital , they met in their university day's and got married after 2 years of dating. I had a sister who was 5 years younger than me her name was 'Rika'.

My family lived in Order#1. The only reason I lived in Order#16 was for my university. My parent's were a little worried about my future cause of the actions of my past , but they still believed in me and sent me here for studies.

After 2 day's my VR set arrived , I wasn't that excited for it's arrival. Maybe a bit excited , but it was nothing compared to Rin standing besides me. Setting my Greed ∞ I was ready to play.

It was afternoon , since Rin helped me install my VR set and was in my room we ordered food from 'Ziggy'. Ziggy was an online food delivery app which was well known in every Continent. It was a saviour for people like us who are away from home. It had every restaurant present in our Order. Rin was a fan of chicken wings so we ordered some of those and energy drinks which Rin recommended me.

After our lunch we talked more about the game and We watched the video together about the installation of the Game 'Infinite'. Since Rin didn't install it we decided we would both install it right now and play in evening.

But before that I'd to create an Greed Profile which was necessary for the VR Set to operate. On this profile we can store games , add friend's , customize our VR a bit and unlock achievements which kept the players motivated to unlock more achievements.

Let's talk about the VR again. It came in a set of Helmet , a pair of gloves and a pair of foot gloves. I wore the helmet and the other accessories. The helmet was transparent so I could see the switch present beside my bed , I pressed the button on. To login in VR Set you had to say your VR series name and connect.

So for me it was ,

"Greed Connect"

A wave of lightning spread throughout my body , it was my first time experiencing this feeling. My body felt refreshed , the reason for this to happen was core of the Greed which was developed by I.G. Group , it made my senses which were dull , more active thus feeling refresh and the third party interference with my nerves made me feel like lightning surging in my body.

After a while I reached the Create an Account page Rin and I already created an account for me beforehand so that I just had to login this time. I pressed on login and filled the information ,
