Dilemma Caused By An Email

The day was bright as always.

The sky was clean as always.

The birds were flying, playing happily above the roof, as always.

The sounds of the cars were ranging outside, as always.

The sounds of steps, murmurs, and faint sounds from different sources were lingering in my room, as always.

Yet this was not the case in my eyes.

This world was nothing like what I used to watch it like before.

Since the time I accepted the invitation of some unknown email yesterday that suppose to be an invitation to be a beta tester of their game, everything had changed for me.

Especially my mental.

I was sitting in a silent and dim room while watching the void.

For a reason, the things that I found out yesterday still lingering in my mind and ears.

I can feel the insects walking throughout my body and soul.

Which makes me feel uneasy.

Why in the world I even have to know those things?

I think it is better to die knowing nothing than knowing something that could only make you feel like you are an idiot.

The more you understand the mystery of life, the more you would find yourself that you know nothing.

That everything you could see, and everything you know, is false or, you would doubt if the thing is fake or real.

If this is not difficult, what it is?

.

I wish I could think that everything that happened yesterday was just a dream, yet, this screen in front of me was telling me otherwise.

A window where my infos' written were floating in thin air in front of me.

Even the voice, although it is silent, it was still lingering in my mind.

Voice?!

Yes, there was a voice in my head yesterday, talking about my quests and Infos of the worlds, also, it spoke about quests and rewards, levels or so whatever.

I cannot listen to the voice, and even I did, I learned almost nothing about all that was explained to me.

.

This has to be a normal day for me!

I tilted my head and looked at the ceiling.

Tho, since the time I accepted the invitation, I know that the world for me had completely changed.

So that was also the reason why I couldn't find the Company called Fallen Corporation?

A game company, huh!

If what the voices spoke was real, does that mean the Fallen Corporation is a group of Gods?

I shook my head and waved my hand.

The window finally turned into mist and was driven away with the wind, it finally vanished in my sight.

Haaa!

Only now I took a deep breath and released all my worries.

I shifted my eyes and saw my face reflected by the mirror.

I raised my hand and caressed my swollen eyes.

There were two dark circles in my swollen eyes!

I put my hand down and stood up from my seat.

I went to my bed and laid there.

I should take a nice slumber for me to regain my lost energy, first.

I didn't sleep for the whole night and just sat there near my desk while thinking about those things that happened yesterday. I couldn't stay like that any longer tho.

Even if I don't want to, I have to sleep even just a few hours.

Or maybe eighth hours?

I'll think of an alternative plan after this rest.

Without me expecting, as soon as my eyes closed, maybe because of the fatigue and problems, I fell asleep the next second.

Zzzzz...

FlashBack...

Yesterday...

Manila...

Puring Rented Rooms.

Room 9. Single Room.

My name is Arthur Sumait, I came from the village of Bayanihan, part of Aurora Province.

I came here to the city for me to study college.

Yap, I just finished my grade twelve.

If only my parents didn't persuade me for a whole year since I was at my grade eleven, I don't want to come to this messy and loud city, I am not comfortable in cities.

I want my silent life back like in those days when I was in my province.

Hays~

I don't have many things or activities that I could do here.

I still have two months to wait before the August for starting days of the new school year.

My parents sent me here early for fear that I would once again change my mind.

I can't understand peoples' mindset, they always think that schools in the province are lower than those in cities.

Maybe school background really is a good preference?

I am not sure.

Hopefully, I have a phone and the internet here is good.

I could play as long as I have data.

(I don't know how others calling it, maybe Load or Internet)

Ding*

Mmm?

Holding my phone while lying in my bed, my phone suddenly vibrated.

I raised an eyebrow as I am not expecting anyone to message me! 

An email?

I don't know if it was a new way of scams or what, yet I think it's better to have a look.

Fallen Corporation Company

To Our Deepest Greeting,

I am Voice, the representative of the Fallen Corporation Company, are wholeheartedly inviting Mr. Arthur Sumait to act as one of our beta tester for the newly launched game.

Please, delete the message if you decide to decline, or submit feedback to us for further instructions if you decided to accept]

Fallen Corporation Company?

Is this a big corporation?

I don't know how they found my Gmail account and why they decided to send me an invitation tho I am not some infamous player.

I really am confident when it came to games, however, I don't think I am good enough to be invited to some kind of activity like this.

Let me see...

To make sure that this isn't some kind of trick from the scammers nowadays, I decided to take a look if any info could be found on the internet.

.

Time passed very fast...

It had been an hour since I started my fishing, yet in the end, I found no clue or info about this corporation.

As I thought, this is just a scammer's new way to decide people like me!

Haha!

I almost thought that it is for real.

Mmm?

Having known that the message highly came from scammers, enlightenment entered my mind.

Just thinking about my plan, I cannot help but chuckle.

I have nothing to do after all, so might as well accept the game.

Subject: Invitation

Greeting from the bottom of my asshole,

I am deeply surprised for...

]

With a smile on my lips, I composed hundreds of words full of nonsense and insults.

I think they would know that I found out their trick and would stop pestering with smokes in their nose after seeing this.

Just thinking of them having bloodshot eyes and smokes coming from this flat nose, haha, I can't help but laugh out loud.

However, It seems I really know nothing in this world, because this was when and how my life started to change.
