Back to Reality, Totally ashamed

After the boss fight Ren looked at the time *2:20 am* he immediately logged out of the game and headed to bed. While he was asleep the players who were still logged in were stunned and shocked that someone had finally beat the boss, meanwhile the foursome before Ren whispered to themselves, "Was that the solo with the shity ass gear?" "Yeah, to think he actually, a level 13, beat the boss and is now rank 1." As the night passy through aggression that someone beat the boss, it finally becomes morning. As Sakurai wakes up he turns on the news while making breakfast, *Breaking News*, he turns towards the T.V and watches. 'News today' -The new rage today, Full Dive Virtual Reality, World Online breaks the stores and becomes the new hit, but just yesterday night the first ever player to beat the first boss 'Ren' was his gamertag had just made the community harden. People started calling this Mysterious...*T.V shuts off*. "Oh welp time for school", as Sakurai walks to school he yet again gets jumped by chloe but this time her friends aren't near. Sakurai asks chloe "Hey, where you're real friends at?" Chloe replied, "You are my friend silly, and i wanted to walk alone with her today hehe". Ahh whatever he said, as they go closer to the gate he gets surrounded by upperclassmen and gets pushed to the side, while chloe steps back. The upperclassmen horde around him and start talking shit and kicking his ass, but Sakurai is frankly getting used to this by now. As he gets left bruised and bleeding by the school entrance chloe comes around the school and helps him up, she says sorry it was a dare, but I can hardly believe that after the fake smiles she gives me, even though there fake it sure it cure and piercing. As I struggle to get up her friends look down on us from a classroom up top and whisper in silent...

later on I rush home from school but it looks like i wasn't fast enough, at the front gates there she is. As I approach the gates I try and avoid her by, but she walked up to me and stood in front of me. As she standing there she looks around everywhere and says to herself, "Good their not here yet", me very confused and asked "What?" She grabs my arm and starts running out of school grounds, Sakurai tries to tell her to stop but she kept running until we were far from the school. She stops and turns around as tears fall from her eyes and says "Sorry, never thought i'd hurt you like this at all", Sakurai then has a blank look in his eyes and runs away. As he returns home his parents await his visit. When he walks in the front door the only thing that can put a smile on his face was a warm welcoming from his parents. When his parents welcome him home they sit down together and talk, Father asks, " How's school champ, doing alright" Sakurai replied with yes, but as the silence came his parents nodded their heads down and said, "Look Sakurai, we know we are never home for you, but we just got offered on job across seas and we have to take it, we wont be home for a few months." Sakurai didn't reply, but instead got up and went to his room. His parents didn't want to leave him alone anymore but to support Sakurai all the way through to the end they had too.

Once shuttled in his room all he could think about was escaping reality, but then he remembered he could escape to a place where he could be strong, and alone without worries. As soon has he logs in he respawns in the middle of town. He looks at the leaderboard and sees that no one else has beat the boss yet. Now that he has the option to go to flood two he starts walking to the teleport pad, but someone from the crowd of people notices him from the leaderboard and screams, "ITS REN, IT's THE TOP PLAYER!!" Ren tries to go run away but all directions are blocked, but then he realized he had the cloak from the Assassin lord. He quickly activates its unique skill and vanished from town going to the next floor, Steam World.
