Chapter 10: First Game

When he finally returned to his mansion, the sky was filled with stars. He looked up, feeling connected not only to the world around him, but also to his own purpose. The night was still young, and he knew that despite the challenges ahead, he was ready to face them.

"I will do this," he muttered to himself, a determined gleam in his eyes. "And I will make sure that every step I take brings me closer to my goal."

With a renewed heart and a mind full of plans, Matthew entered the mansion.

---

Matthew woke the next morning with a renewed sense of purpose. He was determined to turn his ideas into reality, and most of all, he was eager to launch the first product of his new company, which he had named NeuroPlay.

After a light and refreshing breakfast, Matthew headed to his office, where Aether was waiting for him, ready to assist him in another day of strategic planning. The holographic screen lit up with a soft glow, displaying the NeuroPlay logo, a modern design that combined elements of electronic circuitry with game icons.

"Good morning, Owner Mateus. The development of the mobile game is in its final stages. We are ready to present the concept of our first game, Quest of Legends," Aether informed, his voice clear and confident.

Mateus sat back in his chair, his heart racing with anticipation. "Tell me all about Quest of Legends."

Aether began to display details on the screen. "This game is an adventure RPG, where players take on the role of heroes in a fantasy world. The goal is to complete quests, explore kingdoms, and collect resources. In addition, we have implemented an innovative rewards system that allows players to earn real rewards through gameplay, creating a stronger link between the virtual experience and real life."

"That's excellent," Mateus replied, impressed with what was being presented. "And what sets us apart from other similar games?"

"We've implemented an AI system that personalizes the user experience based on their preferences and play style. Additionally, there will be seasonal events and competitions where players can win real-world prizes, increasing engagement and brand loyalty," Aether explained, as graphics and animations from the game were displayed.

Matthew could already see the potential for the game. He could already envision thousands of players adventuring through the world he and his team had created. But the real question was how to ensure the game reached the desired audience. "We need a solid launch strategy, and I want Quest of Legends to be available on the most popular platforms immediately."

"I understand, Owner. A strategic approach would be to seek partnerships with established platforms like NulloPlay to ensure a strong market entry," Aether suggested.

Matthew nodded, knowing this was crucial to the success of his game. "Yes, we'll reach out to Nullo. I want this partnership to happen as soon as possible."

He took a deep breath, feeling the pressure and excitement. He was about to take a significant step forward in his new journey. "Aether, prepare the information needed for the meeting, then arrange a call with their development department."

"Preparing the data now, Owner. The call will be made in approximately ten minutes," Aether replied, as he worked quickly to compile a compelling presentation.

Matthew used the remaining minutes to mentally prepare himself. Despite his system-given skills, a meeting always left him anxious. He reviewed his notes about the game and what he intended to highlight on the call. He wanted to not only impress them with his pitch, but also convey the passion he felt for Quest of Legends. It was more than a game; it was an extension of his vision and creativity.

With the holographic screen now projecting game graphics and statistics, Matthew sat at the table, his heart pounding in anticipation. Finally, Aether announced, "The call is connected. You are about to speak with a representative from NulloPlay." The screen lit up with the image of a dark-haired, professionally dressed woman who smiled warmly. "Good morning, Matthew. I'm Carla from the NulloPlay partnerships team. I look forward to hearing about your new proposal." Matthew took a moment to center himself, taking a deep breath before beginning. "Good morning, Carla. Thank you for the opportunity to speak with you. I'm here to introduce Quest of Legends, a new role-playing game developed by my company, NeuroPlay. I believe it will bring something innovative to the mobile gaming market." Carla leaned forward, showing interest. "I'm listening. What makes Quest of Legends unique?" Matthew began to present his vision. "We're integrating a rewards system that allows players to earn real-world items, as well as artificial intelligence that personalizes the gameplay experience. This creates a deep connection between the player and the game world. In addition, we want to host live events that can also be streamed via the Video platform, increasing visibility and engagement."

Carla took notes as Mateus spoke, her expression reflecting interest and consideration. "That's interesting, Mateus. But how do you plan to monetize the game? What would NulloPlay gain from this?"

"We're proposing a hybrid monetization model. The game will be free to download, but will offer in-app purchases for special items and additional content. In addition, I plan to share the profits from the live events. This could mean a new source of revenue for NulloPlay, as we'll bring in a new base of players eager to participate," he replied, determined to make the proposal seem like a win-win for both parties.

"I see. Do you already have a marketing strategy in mind for the launch?" Carla asked, still attentive.

"Yes. We're thinking about a comprehensive social media campaign and partnerships with gaming influencers to generate buzz. Additionally, we can use Ads to reach a wider audience," Matthew explained, his confidence growing with each word.

Carla smiled, looking pleased. "That's very good. I think we have a good basis for a partnership. Can we schedule a more detailed meeting to discuss the terms?"

Matthew couldn't help but smile with satisfaction. "Absolutely! I look forward to working with you and your team. Let's make this game a huge success."

The conversation flowed into the logistical details of the next meeting, with Matthew feeling increasingly confident that he was on the right track. At the end of the call, Carla said goodbye cordially, and Matthew hung up with a sense of triumph.

He had taken the first step towards turning Quest of Legends into a true phenomenon. As he stared at the holographic screen, which was still displaying the game's animations, he knew that this was just the first of many achievements to come.

With renewed determination, Mateus stood up from the table, now more certain than ever that he was shaping not only his own destiny, but that of many others who would venture into his creation. NeuroPlay was about to become a force to be reckoned with, and he was ready to face whatever challenges came his way.
