Chapter 55 : locked with the top 7 { | }

astra walked away usually in his depressed mood, Aquarius really dampened his mood but he hoped a single bag of potato chip would compensate him.

******

AN HOUR LATER

" so no one have seen the platinum chip " astra asked the owner of the store, Mister Andrews, the owner of jingle green, so far Astra's favourite store, and Andrews had taking a liking to astra.

ever since astra was little, he always came to jingle green, it was very far from the village he was born and raised but because he could teleport instantly or travel at the speed of light, it only took him, three minutes at the very list.

" yeah, I guess the owner of shaka chips just did it to get more customers, like he could ever give anyone a free life time of chips " Andrew said in disdain as he knew the owner just pulled of a business strategy just so he could feel his pockets.

" so in the end she was right " astra said in solemnity, as he munched on his chips.

" oh I have also got a knew game for you, it's called battle frenzy, you are kind of a nerd or a gamer freak, I don't what they call it but take a look " Andrew said as he showed astra a package that had all kinds of crazy character on it .

" oh thanks, I have played so many games that I can't find anyone that's interests me anymore " astra said and took the package. Ever since astra was introduced to technology, he had done all sorts of things, you could even call him a computer wizard but what he was more into was mobile games, he had played lots and even got a contract at testing out games, he gets paid 500,000 diamonds every month.

[ in this world, the money are called diamond bills, made from actual diamonds, they are indestructible bills and can be turned back into diamonds, but you would need a crazy sum of 16,000,000 diamonds to get 1 real diamond, the money are made by the strongest cultivators who are masters in runes and talismans ]

" I have never seen this game before " astra said as he read the contents on the game.

" yeah, they say it was made about three months ago and they had tester's, the game is now the number one in the whole world, and the top player gets to meet the creator himself and gets a whooping 7.8 billon " Andrew said with a gentle smile.

" I will give it a shot, how much "

" it's on the house "

" in that case " astra said and drew out his student ID which is also a portable credit card, he swiped it on the slot and transferred, 60,000 diamond to Andrew

" I said it was on the house "

" I know, and I know this game's value " astra said and walked away, leaving Andrew speechless, the truth was that Andrew spent three days and three nights trying to get the game as a present for him, he got the last copy for 10,000 grand .

" battle frenzy huh !, I will give it a shot " astra mumbled to himself while he vanished

*********†**

" I'm home " astra announced as the black snake made its way to him.

" why are you in this form xaria "astra asked as he patted her head, but he heard weird movements and turned around and saw the last person he wanted to see.

" I heard what happened " Keegan's voice rang in Astra's ears like a bell.

" so " astra said and and his way to the TV, ready to plug this game in.

" you should be more careful next time, you are been way too reckless " Keegan scolded like a nagging mother.

" and what rights do you have over me to tell me what and what not to do ? " astra asked as he sat Criss cross on the rug while xaria made her way and coiled her self on Astra's legs, watching the TV intensely.

" are you ever gonna forgive me "

" can you rewind the past ?, I will answer both NO " astra said without breaking his gaze of the screen .

" you should be prepared, tomorrow the school is going to gather the top 7, they are trying to form strong unit around the school, and since this year's batch has strong potential, we are including the newbies " Keegan said as he turned around to leave .

" thanks for the heads up " astra said while Keegan vanished, " but I don't need it "

astra logged into the game, designed his character and started playing. Battle frenzy really helped him relax and calm his mind down. he played until he and xaria fell asleep

***********

The next day ....

*rrrrrgrrrrrrgrrrr *

* rrrrrrrrgggrrrrr *

astra woke up again to the sound of a dying crow, or xarias snore, ' I really need a alarm clock, I can't leave like this anymore ' astra thought as he sluggishly walked into the bathroom. yesterday he played battle frenzy for 3 straight hour, he even managed to make a name for himself, but he was aiming at the top of the leader board, he always liked been first in games and he never lost one match and he planned to keep it that way.

" well I'm off, please don't reck my room, and go nuts with the fridge, I have a feeling I won't be coming home early " astra said to the black snake whom was as straight as a pole, nodding it's head .

* sigh * ' she's going to do the exact opposite ' astra sighed and walked away
