Game plans 1
Burp... Ryuu where did you go you meanie. Come here and pour me another glass" Angelica's cute and also drunk voice sounded in the house. Surprisingly she hadn't passed out at the entrance of the house. But you couldn't say it was for the better or worse. But if you were in Ryu's place, you would know that it was much more than just 'worse'.
Angelica was still drinking like it wasn't enough that she came home already drunk black and blue. She would call Ryu every time she was done with a glass of alcohol, mainly beer.
Ryu was in the kitchen, preparing breakfast for tomorrow when he heard her call him for another glass. His brows couldn't help but twitch uncontrollably, he was even tempted to hit her in the Sleep Artery to make her fall unconscious but everything time such a temptation arose in him he quickly shot it down. She was still his mother so hitting her didn't sit well with him.
Ryu finally poured her another glass of beer and left, he was preceded with what he was doing. But at that moment, someone tackled him from behind, and of course, it was Angelica, she even used one of her wrestling techniques to restrain Ryu. She hugged him from behind tightly and didn't let him go.
" Where do you think you are going, boy... We'll be drinking until the sun has risen, Buhehehe..." She evil-laughed and suddenly fell asleep. Yes, she just said that they'll be drinking until the sun has risen but fell asleep there and then.
While this happened, Ryu was fighting for his life. Before his mother fell asleep she used another one of her wrestling techniques and now her legs were clutching his neck and suffocating him.
" Cough, Cough...huh, don't blame it on me then. You are the one who started this." In Ryu's life, These kinds of situations happened frequently so Ryu has developed his own counter-techniques for every move of his mother's.
The one he was planning to use now was called God Hand. It was a fast and precise tickling counter-move. The Essence of the technique was to tickle as fast as possible wherever your hands could reach. It was a truly devastating move against his mother.
He prepared his hands and counted down.
'3...2...1... Let's do this!' His hands spread out and moved at an unimaginable speed, hitting Angelica's every weak point without even looking at it. It was evident, he was a master at his work.
"Buha-haha noo, haha-ha stop, stop, stop hahaha Ryu please haha stop." Even though she was pleading for Ryu to stop she hasn't woken up yet. It was like her mind automatically responded to Ryu's tickling without a need to wake up.
They probably had many similar situations in the past for the mind to be that used to it, like it was saying "yep that seems about right, now it's my turn to laugh and release you from my clutches. Next is your turn and you have to lay me in my bedroom."
Indeed, when Ryu got out of her wrestling technique, he stood up and looked at his mother who was lying on the floor and scratching her belly not caring about anything in the world. Seeing his mother like this brought him some memories of the past and made him look at his mother gently... until she burped again at least. In the end, he shook his head desperately and threw her over his shoulder like the sack of potatoes she was.
He quickly brought her to the bedroom and let her down on the bed softly. After he Reversed time he couldn't throw her in the bed as he used to in the past, anymore. Maybe after he lost her, he valued her more than before.
' Anyway, let's prepare some breakfast for tomorrow, and I will be free after.'
He quickly finished preparing the breakfast And proceeded to his room where he finally loaded the Blood wars. In the past week, he had been playing this game, remembering how it felt to play in the capsule. Oh, also he had bullied many noobs in that time, killing them even before they noticed him.
They couldn't understand what killed them, so many of them returned to investigate, but all they could do was simply nothing. Ryu was that good at this game while his opponents were noobs who didn't really know how to play the game. Some of them even reported this case as a game bug.
A week of Bullying some weak players managed to let him regain his long-lost confidence and also brought him some small smugness.
After he bullied some more players for a couple of hours, he decided to log out and go to sleep. Tomorrow he had many things to do.
When he woke up, he quickly washed up, ate the previously prepared breakfast, and finally checked out his credit card. Because already a week has passed, money from the betting has arrived. What was surprising though, was that he got everything right, which meant he remembered things somewhat correctly.
Currently, on his credit card, there was little over forty thousand dollars waiting to be spent on his orders. But Ryu knew that this money wasn't enough for what he had in mind. He was planning to Buy two new model gaming capsules for him and his mother, and also, he had to make sure that the money was going to last at least six months.
He was going to let her mother stop working and instead make her start playing the game. He knew he needed more money to accomplish everything that he has planned. He wasn't worried about what would happen after six months. He was sure that until then, the game would already be in everyone's mind, so selling the in-game items will be his main source of income for a while.
But now, he was planning to only do the betting. He still remembered matches from the quarter and semifinals of the league, so he was counting on that. He estimated that he could make up to two hundred thousand dollars which would be more than enough to buy two last-gen capsules and sustain them for six months.
Last time, because he was in the bank to transfer the money to his credit card and near the local totalizator, he thought that it was easier just to confirm his bets there, but now he could do it from home, which was much more comfortable. As such, he didn't hold back and confirmed his bets Online. At this round, he was expecting something close to fifty thousand dollars profit so he was eagerly awaiting the days of the matches.
He was even planning to watch those games. He still had quite a lot of free time. He wasn't going to college, wasn't working, and didn't have many friends, so his timetable was completely free.
He had only two good friends, Mike and Les but both of them were out of town so he couldn't hang out with them. He still had friends from college, but they were more like acquaintances than real friends, so he didn't like going out with them.
In the meantime, Ryu decided to work out. Current he was really out of shape, so he planned on changing that. He still had time to prepare for the Rebirth, and he wasn't planning on wasting it.
Physically, Ryu was at a handsome side mostly. Unfortunately, didn't have his mother's blonde hair but at least he still had her beautiful green eyes. His Black hair was like every other dude's, messy and unkempt. Although he had a nice jawline, his ears were on the bigger side. Overall ordinary girls would give him a maximum of 7,5-8. As for models and the kind they would give him a maximum of six. Clearly, they had higher standards than the rest.
Days passed, then weeks, and finally one month. Ryu was currently working out in the nearby gym. He didn't achieve much progress in this aspect, but his body looked much more fit than it was before. Indeed, you cannot get much out of the training just in short weeks.
Today was the day of the Final match between two basketball teams that he had bet on. Previously he wasn't planning to bet on this match because it might seem suspicious if he won again after so many win streaks, but he didn't care anymore. Nothing much was going to happen anyway, so he said. "why not?" and bet on the team, which he knew was going to win. He didn't want to miss out on such easy money. Who knew when he was going to have another opportunity.
As he expected, the team he had bet on won without any problem. He totally earned three hundred and seventy-four thousand dollars by just betting. It truly felt like a dream but he didn't dwell on that much and checked if the money had been sent to his credit card. When he saw it was there, he sighed in relief. He was worried that there might be problems transferring that kind of money. To his joy, everything went smoothly, and now he was ready to contact the people from the Aviore's Capsules.
Aviore's capsules was a company that specializes in selling game capsules. They are the best of the bests. Ryu wanted to order Their last-gen gaming capsules. Soon he called and waited for someone to pick up the phone.
"Hello dear customer, my name is Annie, and I will be helping you to purchase everything you might need at our store. How may I help you?" The girl was sweet.
" Hello Annie, You can call me Ryu. I want to purchase two of your latest gaming capsules. May I know how much it will cost me? As he said that, Annie's eyes lit up. She knew she had caught some big fish.
"Of course, sir. two Mega-XX5 capsules Wil cost you only forty-nine thousand dollars and ninety-eight cents. " Annie said respectfully. She believed her client was someone really wealthy.
' What the fu*k do you mean ONLY?! It's almost seventh of all the money I have!!' Ryu's eyes were twitching. He was caught off guard. How could people even afford these things? Even though he didn't want to pay, Even though his heart was bleeding, he still had to buy them. It was important for his success in the Rebirth.
"Okey, I am buying them. Send them to my house in a week. The address is..." When the deal was confirmed, and he paid for the product, Annie assured him that the capsules would arrive in due time.
After the transaction was confirmed, Annie was beaming with joy. She quickly went to others brimming with confidence. She was going to brag a lot.
As for Ryu, his heart was still bleeding but now wasn't time to mourn over the spilled milk. He had to plan what he would be doing when the game started...
