1 Chapter 1

"Perfect place..."

The sky is sparkling with shining stars. Several asteroids floated at high speed, emitting flames from their tails and forming a rainbow of fire against the backdrop of space.

27 planets revolve around a space dragon that's bigger than any stack of planets. The dragon flies gracefully in the glittering sky, exhaling a magical breath that can wash away several planets at once.

Above him sat a man in a full black robe. Behind him is a ball disk that rotates non-stop. From his hands also emitted a purple gold light, his face could not be seen but his smile could be seen clearly when he saw a blue green planet very far away.

"Milord, is that our next destination?" A mighty sound filled the sky, the heavenly bodies trembled as this sound came from the flying dragon.

Showing a little white teeth. The man answered the mighty dragon, waiting for his master's answer.

"Yep, it's the perfect place"

After hearing the man's answer, streaks of light gathered around the space dragon before a huge aura gathered around him.

"Understood my lord"

....

I feel useless...

Why are we living like this? mother and sister are trying desperately to work to support our family but it's still not enough...

"How do I get money?"

He opened his mouth, said. and at that moment he opened his eyes which revealed aquamarine blue eyes. his face also looks handsome and his posture is not tall but not short either. her hair is black with some blue streaks in her hair.

he's in a bad mood right now. His family's condition was getting worse and worse. starting from 5 years ago, his father's company was confiscated by the government on a report of illegal trade with evidence. but not only that, a few days before being confiscated, his father was found dead in his room with blood everywhere.

of the reported reports is that his father, Stein. illegally trade with foreign companies and earn money from them. and as to why he was killed, the police keep saying it's under investigation. but Allen knew they were lying, neither of them doing their job.

although their family knew that his father could not do that, but they could not do anything and could only accept the fact.

and now, it's been 5 years. they now live in an apartment which is cramped and even has only 3 rooms and one bathroom, very minimalist. but fortunately they are all happy here, as long as they are together then they will face it together no matter what.

and there you have it, Allen stein. the second child of this family, he is still in high school and is an exemplary student. all this he did in order to help his parents and brother. she tries hard to study and achieve, so that she can get a decent job and help her family out of this problem.

even so, Allen still wants to help by working like his brother and parents. but the three of them always forbid Allen to work and only focus on his school..

*Ting

While Allen was contemplating, a notification rang on his cellphone, he then opened his cellphone to check.

When the phone screen is turned on, it shows 23:17 pm. and the screen also shows a small panel that says '1000 Credits have been received from shipper Kong shin, china. at 23:16'

"Hah… my item sales are also quiet." He sighed before turning off his cellphone screen and placing it next to his keyboard.

this is Allen's side job, or you could say secret. Since he can't work outside, he spends more time in his room. Studying and playing games is his daily routine, after his daily routine is over he will play games all night.

this is the only way he can earn even a little money. for example, the 1000 credits it generates is the only income in these 3 days. and even then only 1000 credits

For example, 100 credits is the price for a packet of instant noodles at the convenience store near Allen's house. this alone will not be enough to help his family pay the debt

"I wish I could make money like I used to" Allen said before he started playing with his computer again to continue grinding items to sell on credit.

but just as he was about to open the game, a social media notification rang. then he opened the notification first

the notification came from one of his friends named 'Olive'. the message reads

Allen, do you know any Creatia news online? it was incredible! You should try it with me when it's released tomorrow!-

Seeing this Allen was slightly surprised, he then put his hand on the keyboard and replied

What? did they advance the schedule? - Allen

Really! so prepare yourself cause it's going to be fun- Olive

"So it turns out to be tomorrow, then I have to get ready"

Allen who had been gloomy became more alive after talking with Olive.

Creatia online, the world's first full dive mmorpg game. everyone knew this, because the news spread very quickly. Humanity's latest breakthrough in the field of video games, by using a tool called 'Diver' in the form of a helmet, humans can feel the real sensation of playing games such as moving their own bodies, starting from the taste when eating, the pain of being attacked or even the cold wind at night, all of that can be felt in this game.

that's not the only thing that makes this game explode. There are many other systems such as a world that is two and a half times larger than Earth, which will allow players to freely explore new places and unlock hidden secrets.

and not to mention the benefits for gaming 'Farmers' like Allen, who play games too to make real money. This game has a Trade or exchange system in the shop center. not only that, there is also an in-game auction and an official shop on the online Creatia forum. opens up great opportunities for all the needs of players. Starting from players looking for fun to play, this game provides many quests, dungeons, raids and more to dive into. a balanced trade where there is no recharge or top up system, everything starts from scratch and relies on one's expertise.

and it was because of this that when Allen read the news of Creatia's launch online he was so excited and saved up to buy a gaming helmet with his own money. he doesn't want his parents to be burdened with the price of a helmet that is quite expensive

and now Allen had been saving for over a year from selling his items. he played many games, starting from mmorpg, fps, moba and others. he raises his rank for games like moba and fps to sell or grinding items to sell in mmorpg-like games. he doesn't even sleep because of this

but now that he's finally reached his goal, the money should be enough to buy a Diver if the price doesn't spike.

"I have to sleep to queue tomorrow"

Allen knew that tomorrow would be very crowded. This is because game helmets will be sold in many electronics stores. King's crown, as a game developer, is fighting very hard so that the game can reach everyone by lowering the price of divers and selling it in as much quantity as possible. it is certain that there will be very many people waiting in line.

besides that Allen has school tomorrow, he just hopes that supplies won't run out in just one day and they will restock quickly. Allen can't buy online because all pre-order stock at the online store has run out and when the new one is displayed it will run out in less than 1 minute.

this happens because it is not only individuals who buy this stock, many companies and gaming workshops buy as much stock for their members or sell it at a higher price. even if it was available in online stores, Allen couldn't afford it because the price was already ridiculous. while the offline store will display the price that has been set by king's crown.

Allen then turned off his computer and went to his bed that only fit one person in the corner of the room. Then he lay down and closed his eyes...
