I didn't sign up for this
Money is the king.
Lex harboured resentment towards his dad for beating him up until his back bled and some of the skins torn off. So to break free from his dad's harsh punishments, he needed money to support himself.
G.M.A.Y.C came to his rescue. 1 pearl equalled to $100 so, if he was able to obtain 100 pearls while completing the missions, he would have $10 000 in his bank. By only playing the game, the money would keep rolling into his bank account and he could finally escape from his dad's wrath.
However, during his first mission, he mindlessly walked into the lion's den and was tortured by the enemy. He lost all of his first $500 by the end of the mission, instead of gaining more money into the account. He unknowingly fell into the trap but it was too late for him to opt-out of the game when he realised that the game involved more than meet the eyes.
"I want to quit this game!"
"We're sorry to inform you that we can't accept your resignation at this moment. Only Level 10 Pro and above can leave the game as they wish."
"No way! I didn't sign any agreement so I should be able to exit this game whenever I want."
"Player 1001st, a kind reminder for you. We've got a legal agreement indicating your willingness to play this game until you achieve level 10 at the time you created your account with us."
"No! You're lying... I didn't..." Lex knew that he screwed up at this moment. He remembered that when he signed up, there was a sentence underneath the thumbprint reader written in small and subtle letters in which he lightly skimmed through it. It said that 'By registering your account with us, you've read the rules and regulations stated and agree to abide with them throughout the missions'. Who the hell read that long list of rules and regulations that were written in legal terms and designed to manipulate the players...
"Well, if you're keen on leaving the game, you'll need to pay a sum of compensation to us before we mutually terminate the agreement."
Lex gritted his teeth in fury. He entered this game to gain more money but he ended up to pay for the compensation if he wanted to quit the game at this point. But he didn't have such amount of money in his bank account and no way he would ask his dad to pay for it. Another round of belt whips would be waiting for him at home. So he had no choice other than continuing the game until he achieved Level 10 Pro.
Would Lex able to generate money at his comfort and break free from his dad's nasty punishments?
