Arrivals

I received a job offer almost a month ago. She surprised me. I didn't expect her at all. She was from Fate Circle. Even though it's a new company, probably everyone has heard of it. She is behind the technology of complete immersion in virtual reality. It can be said that they rule the gaming world and not only that, they are said to be slowly expanding into other industries as well. I don't know why I was chosen, but this is an opportunity for me that can change my life.

In order to be accepted, I have to take an exam, but according to the invitation, I am not the only applicant. A position that only one of us can get by bidding.

I'm American, so I'm currently flying to Europe, where the company is based. I'll be landing soon. The company arranged for me a hotel where I will stay until tomorrow's exams. They actually pay for my transportation here.

My taxi stops in front of the hotel. It is truly magnificent. I walk in and go to reception before heading to my room.

I take the elevator to the seventh floor. When I enter the room, I glance over him. It has a very nice design. Double bed. Small table and chairs. A clean bathroom. I wouldn't expect anything less from a five-star hotel.

I put down my luggage and lay down on my bed. The Fate Circle interview starts tomorrow and will continue for the next three days. In between, in my free time, I can do whatever I want.

"I think I should go to dinner." I say to myself as I get out of bed. It's already evening and I haven't eaten anything since the plane took off.

I leave the room and go down to the first floor, where the dining room is located. I enter through the glass door. The dining room occupies two thirds of the entire floor. There are dozens of elegant tables, but not even a few hundred people.

I see people here from all over the world. Each of them will be my opponent in the upcoming testing. We have all been invited, but only one of us can succeed.

I sigh. Everyone in my field of vision is groomed better than me. I feel embarrassed about it. Everyone here has a dress, a jacket, or at least a designer shirt, but I just have a wrinkled shirt with the top button undone and old jeans, which don't help much either.

I move to the extensive buffet. I must say that the choice of food is extensive. From chicken strips to deer stew to tofu. There are also many side dishes, pastries and salads. Drinks are also not far behind. There are foods from all over the world.

Even though I don't come from a poor family, I haven't had such a choice yet. I can't decide what to have for dinner.

Iam full. It was excellent. After much thought, I finally decided to have a little bit of everything, including alcohol. I overdid it with him too. Even though the clock hadn't yet struck midnight, I don't even remember how I got back to my room.

The first thing I hear after waking up is the alarm that I set on my phone. I'm going to feel it and turn it off. My head hurts. Whore. And today I need to hit in the best condition.

I sigh. I open my eyes, but the morning sun blinds me. I cover them with my hand until they finally get used to the light. My head is pounding as I get out of bed and go get water.

As the ice water flows down my throat, the hangover subsides slightly and I shake off the sleepiness. I go to the mirror and look at myself.

I'm a lightly tanned white guy. I have messy, oily brown hair. Brown eyes. Average face. Shirts and jeans from yesterday. They are even worse than yesterday. I definitely have to go take a shower and get at least a little fit.

After a delicious breakfast, it's time to go to the interview. I leave the hotel and slowly move towards the company headquarters.
