"happy birthday birthday to you...happy birthday to you~"
John Dominliore woke up to a song, in a joyful mood, lying on his bed looking at the ceiling, he heard the singing voices, tears filled his eyes and he could only jump....
jumped into the arms of a girl, probably 14 or 15 years old, tears still flowing from her eyes.
"her...brother...are you all right? "*- the worried voice brought back memories of his childhood.
other arms hugged him from behind "john...what's wrong?"
'ma..mama'
the memories hit him harder than ever...he had forgotten them several hundred years ago...his mother, his older sister.
He had long forgotten them, how long ago he had erased his own memories just so he could store more information from that cursed world.
"nothing...nothing...I just had a bad dream...a very long one."
He said nothing, kissed his stepmother's forehead and thanked any god for being able to stay alive, for being able to return to this moment, on this day 836 years in the past.
"we cut the cake"- murmured the happy little girl.
"come on, come on"
The family of three decided to continue the celebration, while watching his sisters and mother, John analyzed everything.
years 2096, the year he turned 17, also the year in which the merger of the three planes would begin.
sleep.
reality.
infinite.
While this was happening, three worlds were created, three planes of reality where the dream and the infinite could participate and modify reality.
the beginning of all this would be the unpopular #onlinefusion game.
a game in charge of merging the three planes of life.
the game that would doom her life, hers and everyone else's.
"jo..jhon...I prepared a gift for you...don't...don't get mad ok?" - the older woman in the room asked, somewhat unsure, Jhon looked at her and she averted her eyes in concern.
John sighed, he remembered, in her past life she went to great lengths to get her gift, but he was angry, not because he was ungrateful or did not appreciate her efforts, it was simply that the gift was too expensive, and in their situation they could not afford such expenses, because she spent so much, for the next month they will have to tighten their belts.
But this life was different, he now knew that it had not been a waste of money, he now knew that it was a good investment, a pity that he had to live two lives to understand it.
"sure, let's see it"
the woman smiled happy that he was not angry, they walked to the guest room, a virtual reality capsule in the middle, the capsule was not the best, not the worst, but no doubt the woman must have worked hard to buy it.
"this...this is" - he pretended to be impressed, the woman lowered her eyes in concern.
"he..I heard it's something popular among young people...I also know you can win money in games right, no, don't worry, don't borrow money" - she tried to explain herself, she just wanted him not to worry about the household bills, to enjoy a bit of his youth.
"just enjoy yourself will you, mother went out of her way to buy that for you" spoke the other girl in the room, between 20 and 21 years old, hair dyed at the ends purple, two piercings in her ears, she was his older sister.
John looked at the three of them, in his previous life he had reprimanded his mother for spending her overtime money on this nonsense, she could have bought food, or something for herself.
in this life
the woman looked at the young man walking towards her, she lowered her head, she knew in her situation it was foolish to spend money on a toy, but she wanted him to be able to enjoy himself a little, he dropped out of college because of her inability to pay, he always made her days easier, the young man may have rarely left the house, but she knew, it was because of him that she could stay sane. her ex-husband's debts, the cost of living, if it wasn't for his support she wouldn't be able to bear it.
When she heard her classmates talking about how their children were playing on those machines, how they were all playing and wasting their time, she felt bad, why couldn't her son, who was a better child than all those others, have his own game? why couldn't only her son afford to enjoy new things?
is because she was useless
because she could not afford to offer him anything, despite all the effort he put in for them.
That was her conclusion, a wrong conclusion that made her miserable, so she spent the last three months saving up all her overtime and double shifts, so she could finally offer him something, but she didn't want him to be upset about it.
warmth, a soft smell of cheap perfume, which had been given as a gift by the youngest of the family.
"thank you... I've wanted one for a long time."
the boy's warm voice interrupted her thoughts and relieved her anxieties.
"Really?" she asked grateful to finally be a good mother, he stroked her back when he heard her sobbing, this poor woman had tried so hard, but in her previous life he had scolded her and even tried to sell the capsule.
"try it try it try it" the childish voice interrupted the scene, the youngest girl jumping up and down.
"haha not yet, I have to put it together..and buy the game" he stroked her hair as he replied.
"buy... buy the game, I'm sorry I" the older woman felt stupid, she bought the capsule without any game, the money just did not reach, and she just did not know what she would have to compare, she felt silly, like giving away a phone without a battery, it was just useless.
"the password is 4893" the other voice spoke in the room, he handed over a savings card and left the room, "happy birthday john...and thank you for everyone", that was the last thing he said as he left with quick stride
jhon smiled sideways 'tsundere', the word ran through his head.
'well here we go again'.
