Sure enough, as soon as I clicked the next tile in place a single monster spawned. It was a kobold. It was hairy with a dog snout and shabby leather armor covering its body. It wielded a sword and shield. As a monster, they had some intelligence and knew how to fight pretty well. Sady for it though, as soon as Sam saw it, he had already shot multiple fireballs at it burning it to ash. To be honest it was not a pretty sight. Unlike how you would see it in games when a kobold was hit by a fireball it would be singed slightly before turning into particles of light and dying. No, this was pretty gruesome in so many ways. I mean the agonizing screams it released from its mouth as it died and the look of unwillingness it had in its eyes, was all too real. But if it was the other way around it would have been one of us in the same situation. 
This was just a small reminder of how real this world is. Although, I understood all of this after bloodying my hands for the first time. But still seeing things like this just sets it in even more. I wondered if there will be a day where I take everything as the norm. Then again. I now do not even think when killing a human. Well, my stomach still turns when thinking about it, so I guess I am not one hundred percent used to it yet.
But with only one monster spawning on my first mistake, I wondered if my second mistake would spawn two. I soon learned that this was not true. My second mistake spawned three kobolds, the third time was nine, and when we got to the fifth time, twenty monsters spawned. I was starting to get nervous because the last fight was a little tough for us all, with such a confined space. If we continued like this, we would end up with this room being filled with hundreds maybe even thousands of monsters.
"Rei, don't move any more blocks for now." Able suddenly spoke up. He was also tired. Even with my higher stats, I was starting to feel it as well. Defending and attacking while trying to keep both Marsil and Sam safe was not easy. Like just now after twenty kobolds spawned we had spears and swords coming at us from all sides. Both Sam and Marsil did not come out unscathed this time. Sam was slashed in the arm with a sword and Marsil took a spear to the leg. It was a very difficult battle. But if you cast the wrong spell you could end up hurting more than just the enemy. I was starting to think I should have practiced my magic much more. with my current control, I was scared of harming Able and the rest, in such an enclosed space.
"I know… we got to figure out a better way of dealing with this..." I said as I laid on the floor.
"From what I know, puzzle rooms normally have only one way to solve things but some had two. We could see if there is another way to escape." Able explained.
"What happens if you solve the puzzle?" I asked. I mean I was curious, was there some kind of prize for completing the puzzle? Or do you just regain your freedom?
"As far as I know a chest will appear after the puzzle is completed and sometimes a decent artifact will drop." Able replied. I suddenly felt like I was living in an RPG! (Role Playing Game) This was the only thing I could think of when I heard you get an item from completing the puzzle.
"So, I'm guessing if we escape the room without completing the puzzle we get nothing right?" I felt a little reluctant to give up the prize but if we continued trying to fight all the monsters that spawned we would end up dead eventually. And to be honest I did not want to start over again from the kidnapping incident. I mean it is lucky that I am able to die and be resurrected but… I do not want to watch those close to me die either… The system did say that when I die I will remember everything that happened. 
"Yes, in order to successfully get the item at the end, one must solve the puzzle. " Able confirmed my question. I looked at both Sam and Marsil who were wounded and fell into thought. "Let's see if there is a second way out of the room. If we continue as we are someone will end up seriously injured or dead. If all else fails, I can always try to kill everything at the same time." 
Everyone nodded at my suggestion but unfortunately, our luck was not good. There was no second easier puzzle. The room was completely empty except for the chest. The door itself was sealed off with neganite so we could not use magic to open it. I ever tried using my sword to cut it open but since it was made with magic it did nothing. We all fell to the floor to our butts and let out a long sigh.
 "Looks like our only choice is to continue with the puzzle..." Marsil looked very unwilling but I could tell she also knew that we had no other choice. 
"For now, let's just study the puzzle and figure out how it should look in the end. Because if we keep doing it blindly we may end up with a block stuck on the opposite side of where it should go." I suggested. I wanted to reduce the number of battles as much as possible.
"This is a good idea. Then we can arrange which tiles should be moved next and reduce our battles by a great amount. Rei and I will work on this while you two heal up."

Is love so easily accomplished? For a girl, they can flash a little skin and get boys to fawn over them. Can that be considered love?  Wouldn't that just make them sluts? I would rather kill myself than be touched by a man I do not love. I might be old fashion but this is how I was raised for fifteen years of my life. 

The one day I decided to open my mouth and say something, was the day I truly found out how screwed up this life was. 

After my death, I found myself in a familiar place with an annoying system talking inside my head.  I was somehow reborn in my favorite otome game? And I was neither the protagonist nor the villainous? Just a side NPC! Not only did it have the same game system as the otome game but it also had a small twist which required me to cultivate my magic?

If this was not enough I found that all the love interests keep trying to talk to me.  

With my head swirling with all the things happening around me will I finally find my chance at true love?

Cerita ini adalah cerita original Fiksi belaka,jika ada kesamaan nama karakter atau tempat mungkin itu hanyalah kebetulan semata,mohon dukungan dan partisipasinya :).

Hah? Aku? Heh...,aku hanya potongan sampah dari banyaknya manusia yang ada diplanet bumi. Namaku adalah Dhaniel,aku hanya seorang pengurung diri yang mengandalkan kedua orang tuaku. Bermain game setiap hari,jarang masuk ke sekolah,mengikuti event-event game,menonton kartun jepang,itu semua adalah kegiatan yang terulang di dalam hidupku. 

Cewek? Yang menurutku adalah salah satu makhluk hidup pernah diciptakan oleh sang maha kuasa. Makhluk tersebut rata-rata berparas cantik. Lemah lembut,kadang keras kepala,tidak mau mengalah dengan pendapatnya yang selalu benar,dan masih banyak hal yang pernah ku baca di internet tentang makhluk yang dengan kode nama Cewek.

Hari ini? Seperti biasa,aku mengikuti event game yang diselenggarakan pembuatnya di dalam game tersebut. Banyak sekali genre game yang pernah ku mainkan. Mulai dari MMORPG,Puzzle,RPG,FPS,dan banyak sekali genre game lainnya. 

Kadang aku merasa bosan bermain game terus menerus. Mataku sekarang mengalami rabun jauh yang cukup parah. Namun tidak menghalangiku untuk jalan-jalan keluar rumah,yah...walau hanya sekedar membeli persediaan untuk bertahan hidup.

Aku hidup dikontrakan sendirian. Orang tuaku mengirim uang bulanan. Tapi kadang aku mendapat uang dari Live Streaming game. Untuk pendidikan sendiri,aku Sekolah Menegah Atas (SMA). Kadang aku lupa dengan nama dan wujud teman sekelasku sendiri. Walaupun mempunyai grub online di handphone,aku tetap menjadi penyimak yang bagus. 

Aku dengar ada seorang makhluk dengan kode Cewek baru pindah ke sekolahku. Makhluk tersebut masuk ke dalam kelasku. Para buaya yang ada di kelasku langsung berseru ketika mendengar buaya baru berlawanan jenis masuk ke dalam kelas.

Menurut rumor yang ku dengar dari buaya yang ada di dalam kelasku. Makhluk dengan kode Cewek tersebut sangat cantik dan banyak dilirik oleh buaya dari kelas lain. Bodo amat dengan rumor itu,mending main game. 

Mungkin itu saja perkenalan salah satu sampah masyarakat ini,jangan dilike,jangan klik tombol favorit kalo suka. See you :)

"Good job Chiyo, you handled it well"

"Well if it wasn't for you holding out the mobs, it would have been a different story"

Theo felt proud for chiyo's achievement because for theo it was like raising a little sister

"but still you did great!"
Since Chiyo was not used to praise, it made her blush and feel shy
"Well if you insist Theo"

Theo was mesmerized about what he is seeing right now, it seems like Chiyo has an incredible increase in amount of Stats, without even distributing the status points, her stats growth are unbelievable, unlike Theo who doesn't have a stats growth he can only increase his stats by allocating stats points he earned from leveling up and attribute bonus from equipments.

But for Chiyo it was something else, everytime she levels up, her stats increases along with her levels.

each level chiyo gains 5 to all stats except the int stats in which she gets 10int per level, on top of the 5stats points and 2 skill points that you can manually allocate per level.


so if you're going to add the stats points bonus from leveling up she can allocate it to other stats, since she gets 10int every level and 5 on the other stats.

"Chiyo, I think you have a talent for this, I'll make you a known adventurer!"

"R-really?! you think so? well if you say so I might try harder."

Theo thought that it would be a good idea to proceed now so they can kill more mobs and chiyo will level up more efficiently.

after walking a few more steps, they entered a large room with nothing inside except a huge door made of stone with sculptured skull on the door itself.

Theo Slowly approached the door to see if he can open it, since most of the rpg games he played scenarios like this will end up with a trap being triggered or a boss suddenly appearing.

"Use skill Quick Save 1!"

System: Saved successful.

Theo put his right hand on the skull sculpture on the door and its eyes shined a dark crimson color.

" Muahahahahahaha! I see that you managed to find this place puny mortals, I, Avarice, The gate keeper of this place have been guarding this gate for 300years and no mortals managed to open this gate."

Chiyo was trembling in fear, because of the atrocity coming from the skull sculpture.

"T-Theo I don't feel good about this, let's hurry back since we can't proceed further!"

"What are you saying Chiyo, at times like this, something is hidden behind this door that's why it's locked it must be a rare item, all the reason to continue."

Avarice was getting annoyed because he's getting snobbed by the 2.

"In order to proceed you have to find the three seals hidden in this room, But I'll tell you now no one has ever passed through this Doo-."

"Is this one of the seals?"

Theo noticed one of the tile not too far from the door, is a bit strange compared to the others, this kind of puzzle has been used by so many rpg games.

Avarice was pissed off, because of theo's impulsiveness.

"Let me fini--!"

"Bang!"

Theo broke the strange tile, revealing a triangle rune embedded on the stone.

"Is this it?"

Avarice tried to feign ignorance.

"I-I don't know, doesn't look like it, maybe you should try to look for something el--"

"swooosssshhh"

Theo touched the rune with his right hand and it shined a bright green light, indicating that it was activated.


"W-well that is only 1 of them, can't give you anymore clues can I"

Avarice shamelessly declared.

"Hey Theo this wall seems weird"

Chiyo touches the wall that was out of place and it activated a yellow light shaped like a Square.

"Now there should only be 1 more rune left"

Avarice stayed silent as the two of them tries to find another one.

"We already found two of them there should be 1 more left, we checked the floor and the wall, we haven't check the ceiling yet so it might be there."


Avarice was dead silent and doesn't care anymore if the door is to be opened up.

"Look theo, there really is one!"

"Good job Chiyo, but how are we supposed to do that, we have no skills that we can use to fly."

"Well you don't have to physically touch it, you can activate it by hitting it with any object like a rock or something."
Avarice suggested in a monotone voice.

Theo slowly approached Avarice, he grabbed avarice and pulled hardly, separating avarice from the Door. He aimed at the rune and threw avarice with all his might.

"H-hey what are you doing?!! Noooooooo!...."

Avarice Flew all the way to the ceiling, which activated the last remaning, it shined a red color in the shape of a Star.

All the three runes shined synchronously, after a moment the huge door, opened slowly making a loud sound, like 2 stones grinding against each other.

"Well not so hard aye?" said Theo


"You'll pay for this!"
Avarice exclaimed in a ghostly voice.

End Of Ch. 23

Do you like playing games? Quick load and quick saves are your thing? Like picking races? What happens if you can choose all races and you broke the system?

Mendengar cerita dari Amelia entah kenapa Jay kembali teringat ke dalam kenangan masa lalunya ketika ia berusia 7 tahun



Membandingkan memori yang ada dalam ingatannya dan dengan cerita yang disampaikan oleh Amelia entah mengapa merasakan kesatuan cerita



Dia yang bingung, berusaha mencoba mengingat lebih jauh tentang memori yang telah lama terpendam jauh di alam bawah sadarnya



Seperti menggali kembali sebuah kotak rahasia yang telah lama ia kuburkan, saat ini Jay sedang mencari dimana memori itu ia kuburkan



Perlahan dengan cerita yang terus berlanjut satu persatu fragmen memori yang menghilang menjadi terangkai bagaikan puzzle


Membentuk sebuah gambar yang tak asing untuk di lihatnya, jadi di saat Amelia mulai semakin jauh bercerita disisi lain ingatan tentang masa kecil Jay yang sudah terkubur lama perlahan bangkit kembali



Sampai ketika bagian dalam cerita, membahas saat-saat anak lelaki dan anak perempuan itu berpisah, sebuah pandangan familiar muncul di benak Jay


####

Hari itu langit cerah dan matahari bersinar dengan tenang, di taman kecil sepasang anak lelaki dan anak perempuan yang sedang bermain tampak sangat bahagia


Keduannya adalah cikal bakal dari lelaki tampan dan wanita cantik saat Keduannya dewasa,  kini kedua anak kecil itu sedang asik saling mengejar


Terlihat anak perempuan berteriak berlari menghindar kejaran dari anak lelaki, sampai tak lama saat anak lelaki itu menangkap anak perempuan Keduannya tampak tertawa bersama



Samar-samar anak perempuan yang tertangkap berbicara dengan anak lelaki itu, tapi entah kenapa Jay tidak bisa mendengar apa yang dibicarakan oleh anak perempuan itu


Dan begitu juga saat anak lelaki itu membalas, dia pun tidak bisa mendengar apa yang ia bicarakan, merasakan keanehan ini Jay tahu pasti ada yang salah




Saat keraguan muncul dalam dirinya, dia menjadi resah entah kenapa, seperti kata-kata yang disampaikan oleh anak lelaki dan perempuan itu sangat penting bagi dirinya


Tapi semakin ia mencoba mengingat, semakin kosong pikirannya tidak ada hal apapun yang bisa ia ingat, jengkel dengan ini dia hanya menjadi pasrah dengan keadaan




Saat ini cerita Amelia sudah mulai mencapai akhir saat janji antara anak perempuan dan anak lelaki itu di buat, mendengar apa yang dikatakan Amelia seperti sebuah pencerahan ia mendapatkan kembali pendengarannya dari memori itu



Dan dia menjadi kaget karena apa yang dikatakan Amelia dan apa yang ia dengar dari anak lelaki dan anak perempuan itu adalah kata-kata yang sama



Entah kenapa dirinya kemudian menjadi terdiam sesaat, seperti mencoba mencerna sesuatu yang baru saja ia dengar



Sampai ia mendapatkan kembali pikirannya, Jay mengalihkan pandangannya ke arah Amelia yang kini sudah selesai bercerita


Saat di tatap oleh pandangan penuh harap oleh Jay, Amelia yang melihat tatapan ini menjadi terdiam sesaat juga, kemudian seperti memikirkan sesuatu dia menarik sebuah kalung yang ia kenakan



Ketika Jay melihat kalung yang di keluarkan oleh Amelia, pupil matanya melebar dan nafasnya terasa berhenti, semua keraguan dan memorinya yang tak lengkap seperti kembali pulih dan menyatu semuannya



Tanpa pikir panjang lagi, Jay merangkul Amelia ke dalam pelukannya, dan dengan sedikit terisak ia menangis bahagia " akhirnya kamu kembali amellll..." dengan tersedu memeluk erat Amelia di dalam pelukannya


Amelia yang di peluk oleh Jay, merasakan perasaan bahagia yang tak bisa ia katakan, akhirnya beban yang ia bawa selama belasan tahun, hari ini mampu lepas



" Ya....aku amelllll....Jay...Amel...muuuu....uuuuuuuuu" kembali menangis di dalam pelukan Jay


" Tahu kah kamu Amel seberapa aku merindukan mu....tahu kah kamu....."dengan serak Jay berkata kepada Amelia



" aku tahu....aku...tahu....Jay....aku juga..rindu pada mu..." kata Amelia membalas



" Ya....akhirnya kamu kembali juga Amel....Terima kasih Tuhannnnn...." berkata dengan suara gemetar menghela nafas syukur



" Jay....jangan tinggal kan aku....aku sudah tidak punya siapapun....aku hanya...memiliki mu..."  mengangkat kepalanya dan memohon kepada Jay



" Tidak...tidak...Amel....kamu tidak akan pergi lagi....aku akan menjagamu" kata Jay sambil memangku plan wajah Amelia


Dan tanpa menunggu Amel membalas Jay mencium bibir Amelia


Terkejut dengan tindakan Jay, tetapi Amel dengan cepat menanggapinya, seperti musim kemarau yang telah berganti dengan musim hujan


Semua kekeringan yang ada di dalam hatinya, kini telah basah kembali dengan air mata kebahagiaan



Ingin rasanya ia terus seperti ini, dan tidak mau peduli lagi dengan dunia, yang dimana lebih banyak merenggut kasih sayang dari ya, dia pun takut jika Jay menolak dirinya akan kemana dirinya berjalan 



Tapi kini saat Jay menerima dirinya, dia sudah tidak lagi kawatir dengan apapun, selama ia mampu bersama Jay ia kan melakukannya


" Ahhh....." keduanya bernapas dengan cepat dan saling menatap, saat ciuman mereka telah lepas


" Nahhhh....kali ini aku kan memenuhi janjiku untuk membuat mu menjadi pengantinku Amelia, dan kamu tidak bisa lari lagi"  berkata dengan wajah penuh keseriusan dan juga penuh kepercayaan diri


Melihat pernyataan Jay, tidak ada rasa ketidak nyamanan, hanya ada rasa manis di dalam hatinya seperti madu alami yang membuat dirinya benar-benar tenggelam dengan rasanya


kemudian Keduannya seperti sepasang kekasih yang telah lama tidak bertemu, Keduannya mulai mengenang masa-masa indah saat mereka kecil


Dan Jay pun menjelaskan keadaannya sekarang kepada Amelia, dan saat Amelia mendengar bahwa kini Jay sudah memiliki dua istri dia kaget, tapi kemudian mengingat kembali perasaan yang ia rasakan



Amelia dengan teguh dan berani memilih tetap berada disisi Jay, dan dia juga merasa memiliki saudari lain mungkin juga hal yang bagus



Karena dia terlahir sebagai anak tunggal jadi dia seperti kebanyakan anak tunggal, merindukan memiliki kakak atau adik



Saat Keduannya sedang asik membahas masa depan Keduannya, tiba-tiba saja terdengar suara pertempuran di luar gedung



Merasa ada yang tidak beres Jay segera keluar dan meminta Amelia tetap dikamar, sambil ia membuat dua anggota timnya menjaga Amelia


######


Saat ini situasi di luar gedung polisi terjadi pertempuran antara anggota tim Jay dengan musuh yang telah lama mereka cari



" sssss" menjulurkan lidahnya sosok besar ular Sanca sedang menatap kesal ke arah barisan barikade sederhana yang di buat oleh tim Jay



Terlebih tembakan yang diberikan oleh tim Jay sangat sengit dan membuat dirinya merasakan luka dangkal yang timbul di kulitnya


" mengaum" dengan kemarahannya sapuan ekor besar dari Sanca menerbangkan sebuah mobil rusak yang terparkir di pinggir jalan menuju ke arah tim Jay


" Perhatian semuannya, menghindar" suara teriakan Saka terdengar memperingatkan anak buahnya


"Booommmm" benturan hebat terjadi saat mobil menghantam tembok pagar pembatas Gedung polisi


" Cepat terus serang, gunakan RPG " perintah saka kepada anak buahnya kembali


Tak lama dua personil dengan menenteng RPG di punggung mereka segera tiba di atas pagar pembatas Gedung


" Arahkan ke wajahnya" perintah Saka kembali


"Baik kapten" menjawab dengan cepat dan tak lama mulai membidik wajah ular Sanca itu


Disisi lain, anggota tim lain terus menembakan amunisi kepada ular sanca itu, meski tidak membuat mati tetapi cukup untuk membuat luka ringan yang ada di sekujur tubuhnya


" Bang".....suara tembakan sniper terdengar dan tak lama " aumannnnn" keras dari ular Sanca terdengar 


Ada darah segar mengalir dari salah satu matanya, yang membuat Sanca merasakan kesakitan dan kemarahan


Saat dirinya mengamuk dan membanting semua benda yang ada di sekitarnya, tak lama suara " swosshhh" dan kemudian di ikuti suara ledakan " Booommmmm" suara amunisi RPG mengenai wajah ular tersebut


Membuat seketika ular Sanca roboh ketanah, karena luka berat yang di derita, merasa bahwa Sanca besar itu masih hidup


Saka segera memerintahkan anak buahnya untuk melempar granat " granat.....lempar" 


Kemudian suara ledaka. kembali terdengar " Boom....Bommm...Bommm..."  meledakan ular Sanca yang tampak sekarat


Setelah ledakan usai, sosok Sanca yang besar kini dalam kondisi yang tragis, kepalnya hancur tak tersisa hanya menyisahkan tubuhnya yang penuh dengan luka dan berdarah.

Salam dari Author Adi GM, Selamat menikmati (ada adegan di atas usia 18+)

" Then I suppose you've seen my most recent video then? Oh boy look, um... What I said about your game, I wasn't trying to be mean. Part of my job is to properly review and critique games and I'm not really known for "sugar-coating" things. I know it can be difficult to receive critique on something you've worked hard on but good and bad reviews comes with the business and it's something you'll have to get used to." Marshall tried to explain.                        

"Critique?! You didn't even played my game correctly! Rubric is an adventure puzzle game. Not a combat-rpg like you played it. The goal was to solve the challenges without violence. This was all explained in the introduction. Didn't you read it?" Sam shouted out of anger.

Marshall thought of it and the memories of him not reading the introduction came back to him. "Hey, I get paid by gaming companies to feature their games and I played yours for free. You got a lot of publicity at no cost. In fact, I'm actually doing you a favor." Marshall said. 

"You have no idea what you've done, do you? If you try to do me another ' favour ' I'll see you for a violation or my intellectual property." Sam said before leaving the corridor that Marshall was in with the boxes. Sam walked towards that Cafe that Link was in and she stood in front of the countertop. Link didn't know what she was doing as she was acting strangely. Before Link knew, Sam dropped her onto the countertop, crying her life out. "I'm ready to log out of life now." Link was trying to comfort her, "Sam?! What happened?!" Sam replied. 
" It's my game Rubric. A Viewtuber played Rubric and gave it a bad review. Then his fan zerged my app page and they fragged my creator rating to the point that my account has been flagged. An internet celebrity named 'Marshall Law' played my game and recorded a negative review of it. He then posted the video on Viewtube for everyone to see. Thousands of his fan who saw that video went to my creator site and gave my game a poor rating. Because of this, my account has been suspended. I can no longer post any new game or apply to jobs through this site." Sam said. 

"Sorry Sam but if Linda and I can help in any way, let us know. We would gladly help you." Link said. "Linda, Link! Angela needs caffeine badly!"   "Viki too please!" Angela and Viki are Sam's best friend. Not only are they close like sisters, they are also part of a clan called South Ninja.  It is a gaming clan that play Viu. It is a game where they can fight monsters to earn CL points. "WHO BULLY MY SAMMMM?! I'LL BEAT THE SH*T OUT OF HIM" Sam told Viki and Angela what happened from the beginning to the end. "Oh I see. No wonder you were so upset. DAMN THAY MARSHALL LAW!!!! I'M GONNA KICK THE ASS OUT OF HIM!!!"

Sam is a game creator. Marshall is a gamer. Marshall reviewed Sam's game. Sam hated Marshall but things were not going in their way when they have to live together.

Launch day.
It was still an hour away from launch.
In the morning, Zhang Ye held in his hands the documents that Fat Sis had sent to him. He went through it several times in earnest, analyzing the information for domestic sales of puzzle games in recent years. In the data, it not only included the domestically produced casual puzzle games, but also an abundance of foreign puzzle game titles.
Flying Leopard.
Casual domestic puzzle game.
Price: Free.
Sales numbers: 800 downloads on launch day.
Kamikaze.
Japanese turn-based strategy puzzle game.
Price: 9 RMB for mobile version. Not available for PC at the moment.
Sales numbers: 16,000 downloads on launch day.
Fishing Master 2.
Country of origin: America.
Price: 19 RMB for PC version, 6 RMB for mobile version.
Sales numbers: 95,000 downloads on launch day.
And so on.
This was the current distribution of numbers for the casual domestic puzzle games in China. It could clearly be seen from the data of the 27 titles of games the disparity of the domestically made games to the foreign-made ones. The domestically made game, Flying Leopard, had apparently taken a year's time and a cost of 10 million RMB to develop—and was temporarily free to play—only managed a figure of 800 downloads on launch day. Describing it as a miserable result was already a nice way to put it. Then, looking at the foreign-made games, most of the titles had downloads crossing 10,000 on their release days, with the best performer being Fishing Master 2, which built on the success of Fishing Master 1. Its popularity showed with their market share in addition to receiving close to 100,000 downloads on launch day. With this momentum, Fishing Master 2's sales figures would cross 1 million downloads in only a matter of time, and shouldn't be difficult to achieve either.
Of course, the results of Fishing Master 2 still couldn't be compared with those large-scale, famous RPG series, among other popular titles. Nor should they be mentioned in the same breath, since how could you compare a game that was measured in megabytes to one that was measured in gigabytes? And that was the status of puzzle games. The Fishing Master series had an absolute dominance in the puzzle games genre, and was also one of the most popular puzzle games as well!
After reading through the document, Zhang Ye had a heavy heart.
The situation was grim!
The domestic games market did not have much hope!
Now, it just depended on how Plants vs. Zombies would perform. Not only did he want to make a stand for himself, he also wanted to help domestically made games make a stand for themselves…Uh, although it was true that Plants vs. Zombies itself was a foreign-made game to begin with, but then who would know about that in this world?
Hmph!
If this bro says that it is a domestically made game, then it is a domestically made game!
You gonna bite me??
... 
The countdown toward the release began!
Three minutes.
Two minutes.
One minute.
At 8 AM, Plants vs. Zombies was officially launched as the resources were made available for download in this world, done in accordance to this world's market conditions with a new method of distribution!
Zhang Ye clicked to download the game. The internet speed was quite slow and the game that was only several hundred megabytes actually took five minutes to download and even got stuck at 90% downloaded. Sitting at his computer, Zhang Ye did not feel like there was any progress at all. But unknown to him, at this moment, many other people were experiencing the same issue!
At a game download website, an uproar kicked up in the comments section!
"Why can't Plants vs. Zombies be downloaded!? My gosh!"
"Why don't you try a different downloader? I can download the game!"
"Me too, but it's really slow!"
"It's slower than a glacier! What's going on!?"
"Same for me, and I have a fucking 100 Mbps connection! But why does it feel like I am back in the era of dial-up? 5 kilobytes per second? Just how slow can it get!"
"Fuck, there are too many people downloading this!"
"Let's switch to a mirror and try! There should be many other servers providing this game for download!"
"Don't bother, it's all the same. I came over from a different server, but the speed over there is about the same. Hai, let's just wait a while!"
"Hahaha, my download is done! I'll go ahead and play first!"
"Fuck you, previous poster!"
"*flips table*!"
"What dogshit server is this!"
"Who the hell is causing this internet slowdown in my home?"
"It's so slow that I'm crying!"
There were countless comments!
The swearing from tens of thousands of people was a very shocking sight!
... 
At Beijing Television Station.
In the program team office of Do You Remember.
A loud shout of surprise rang out in the office. "I succeeded in downloading it!"
It was Hou Ge. After his exclamation, he quickly proceeded to install the game. It didn't take long for the game to be installed. Within thirty seconds, he was at the game's menu.
In that moment, Dafei, Hou Di, Xiao Lu, and a few others all surrounded him immediately.
Xiao Lu said in frustration, "We're all on the same network! Why is my download taking so long?"
Hou Ge chuckled, "It's down to character, our character!"
Dafei urged, "Hurry up and start the game!"
Hou Di said, "I can't wait any longer. Since this game was produced by Teacher Zhang, it definitely has to be fun! I've even resisted playing the demo!"
Hou Ge clicked his mouse with a swagger. "It's starting, it's starting!"
The game commenced!
Unlike the demo, this full version of Plants vs. Zombies did not bring the player directly into the game mode. Instead, there was a tutorial mode to help players become familiarized with game, and the game character that appeared to guide the player made Xiao Lu, Dafei, and everyone else freeze!
Was this Zhang Ye?
An NPC?
Crazy Zhang Ye?
Looking at that 2D cartoon character that vaguely resembled like Zhang Ye, everyone suddenly didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Why is Teacher Zhang also appearing in the game as a guest character!"
"Seems like this video game company really respects Teacher Zhang a lot."
"No duh. This game was designed by Zhang Ye in the first place. Do you think it would be difficult for him to make an appearance in it?"
"Hehehe, Teacher Zhang's pretty smart about it, even endorsing himself all the way into the game. Can you imagine if this game really blows up? How much would Teacher Zhang's popularity increase by? This is goddamn equivalent to pervasive soft advertising for him. You can't shut him out even if you wanted to!"
"I was still wondering why Teacher Zhang crossed over to making games. So it was because he had ulterior motives instead. Who says that Teacher Zhang is being too much of a jack of all trades? In fact, I think that rather than a jack of all trades, he knows exactly what he is doing. Even though taking the bar exam and making games do not seem like logical moves, all those activities actually affect his popularity and exposure to the media!"
"Stop rambling and just play the game!"
... 
Peking University.
School had reopened, but on this day, the campus was quieter than usual. The people who would usually take a stroll beside the artificial lake were nowhere to be seen.
Some students who were passing by the area were surprised at this.
"Eh, why is it so quiet around here today?"
"Everyone's in their dorms."
"In their dorms? Aren't they going to get breakfast?"
"Don't you know? Today is the launch day of Plants vs. Zombies!"
"Aiyo! It's today?"
"So do you understand now? Teacher Zhang has always been good to us in the past, teaching us his knowledge and leading us to scold the foreign dignitaries. Even during the recent student recruitment, he helped Peking University stop Tsinghua University's antics. Knowing this, who among us do not appreciate him? Who wouldn't be moved? We don't know when Teacher Zhang can come back to teach us. Since he's releasing a new product now, we must support him even if it kills us! The Vice Chairman of the Student Council of Peking University and a few other officers of the council have already started calling on everyone to show their support for Plants vs. Zombies!"
"That's right! I won't acknowledge any teachers in the school except Zhang Ye!"
"We must give our support! No two ways about it!"
"Fuck, I better get back to my room then! I have to download the game and purchase a serial code as well!"
... 
At one of the female dormitories.
Crosstalk actor Yao Jiancai's daughter, Yao Mi, had already started playing Plants vs. Zombies with a few of her friends. All that could be heard coming from the dorm room were exclamations, laughter, and excited voices. 
"Aiya, the zombie is approaching, it's approaching!"
"Are you stupid! Plant the Peashooter!"
"Haha, you got the zombie! Ah, another wave is coming!"
"Ah, I don't have enough 'sun' anymore! I have no resources!"
"Why are you guys so terrible? I've already passed the third level!"
Yao Mi was the first to pass the first three levels of the game. After she had completed the third level, a popup appeared and prompted her to enter a serial code. She needed to buy a serial code before she could continue playing. Without even hesitating, Yao Mi immediately made the payment online. It was only a few yuan, an amount that not too many people would care about. Afterwards, she continued clicking her mouse excitedly as she began the fourth level. The more she played, the more addicted and excited she got!
"This is so fun!"
"I can't stop at all!"
"Mimi, tell us why our Teacher Zhang Ye is so awesome!"
... 
A video game company in Beijing.
The Gaming Research Department employees had arrived early for work today. No one was idle as all of them were here to do the same thing: download Plants vs. Zombies! Other people might play games for entertainment and leisure, but for them, it was for work, in order to learn from the experience of others.
In the office, the game's soundtrack reverberated.
"Hai, the full version of the game is quite different from the demo!"
"You've only just realized? There are so many game modes, but they're still grayed out at the moment!"
"The levels are also different. They're much richer than in the demo. I was just mentioning that if the levels are just going to continue on so monotonously, the repetitive levels will surely cause gameplay fatigue. But after I said that, the next level immediately went into night mode. There's a difference in the strategy of fighting and the type of plants that can be planted in night mode as compared to day mode? How interesting!"
"The person who designed this game must definitely be an expert! If you go on further in the game, there's even a pool mode. Reading from the introduction, there's also a roof mode. There are different strategies for fighting in each mode, so not only does that increase the playability of the game, it also does not cause gameplay fatigue to the player! Is…is this really a creation of Zhang Ye's? Without seven or eight years of experience in game design, how can he possibly have grasped the mind of a player so well? The demo was already amazing, but this full version is even better. After completing a level, I want to go on to the next one immediately. I think that after this level, it's be enough. But then somehow, I still go ahead and click to start the next level!"
"If this game doesn't go viral, I could never justify that!"
"Zhang Ye is indeed just like his reputation!"
"Who knows, Plants vs. Zombies could really lead the charge for our domestically developed video games!"
"This is such a godly game! It's really too goddamn godly! There's actually a day when our domestically made games could come up with such a godly work!? How encouraging!"
The industry insiders were exploding with excitement!
The Internet also exploded with comments from the netizens!
"This is so fun!"
"So the demo really was just the tip of the iceberg!"
"Is this really a game made by a domestic video game company? Did Zhang Ye really come up with the entire design of this game? This is too incredible! I can't believe this!"
"A boost for our domestically made games!"
"I've already recommended it to friends and relatives!"
"This game truly is constantly full of surprises! The more I play it, the more fun I have!"
There were also celebrities who posted on Weibo.
A C-list singer named Wang Qiqi posted a link to Plants vs. Zombies with the accompanying words: "It's so good I'm crying!"
A movie star named Chen Qi posted: "Recommending a good game my friend recommended to me. It's called Plants vs. Zombies. Please support domestically made games!"
Zhang Ye did not know those two people, neither had he come across them before. The reason for their recommendation posts was clearly because this game had truly touched them.
Naturally, Zhang Ye's friends did not idle around either.
Chen Guang and Fan Wenli highly recommended it!
Yao Jiancai highly recommended it!
Dong Shanshan highly recommended it!
At the same time, the media was also making its moves!
A few video game websites had already published their analyses and review of the full version of Plants vs. Zombies. The reviews were very good, just like how the industry insiders rated it! Websites, newspapers, and other entertainment media's reporters did not idle around either. A puzzle game that clearly had nothing to do with the entertainment circle had actually been pushed to the front page or into the headlines as the topic generated massive interest! It was like a wildfire!
"An amazing, classic domestically created puzzle game! "
"Can Zhang Ye continue writing his cross-industry legend?"
"Some industry insiders frank opinions: Not optimistic of Plants vs. Zombies' sale figures!"
"Good but unable to attract an audience?"
"A legend of a domestically made puzzle video game might have begun! "
"Possibility of poor sales? Don't be too pessimistic, don't speak too soon, just remember! The creator of this game is—Zhang, Zhang Ye! "
"The turnaround of domestically made video games? "


Zhang Ye was originally a mundane college graduate with aspiring dreams to become a star, but unfortunately has below average looks and height. However one day, he woke up and suddenly found himself in a parallel world! 
It’s like the same world, but wait a minute…many brands, celebrities and even famous works from his world changed and are gone in this new world! Armed with the profound literary knowledge of his previous world and a heaven-defying Game Ring that gives him magical items, stats and skills, Zhang Ye embarks on a journey to pursue his life-long dream of becoming famous!
Follow Zhang Ye as he takes the new world by storm, one plagiarized piece at a time, to hilarious reactions!

Due to the sudden bright flash and loud explosion noise, he instinctively dropped to the floor to avoid getting blasted away. But he didn't feel any destructive force hitting him. The Brightness slowly receded. He looked towards the pedestal at the center of the room. The pedestal looked fine, it still stood at its place without any sign of damage, not even a scratch was visible. However, the floating cube was gone.
He stood up, bewildered. The flash and explosion sounded so powerful, but it seemed that was it. Simply light and sound, there was no force in it. Which he appreciated, he would hate it if the reward of solving the puzzle was getting himself blasted to pieces.
He approached the pedestal. The cube was really gone. The top of the pedestal was empty. He tapped on the panel screen, no response.
"Are you kidding me?" He said out loud. What did he waste all those hours solving the puzzle for?
He was frustrated. He looked around the room. It was exactly the same as before, only without the floating blocks anymore.
So that's it? Should I go now? He thought dejectedly. He still had to go through that bloody Lizardman again. Then he still had to fought his way around the neighborhoods, looking for a place to spend the night. By his estimation, the sun should have set by now. He had spent a rather long time working on that puzzle. He thought about spending the night right here, but he was not sure if it would be safe. What if after some time, the lizardman was allowed to come in. He didn't want to get ambushed by that dreadful monster while he was asleep.
When he was still contemplating on what to do, he thought he heard something. It was faint at first, but it was getting clearer. It was a woman's voice. In the beginning, he couldn't make out what the voice was trying to say. It was like an unintelligent murmur, or some strange foreign language. Finally, the woman voice spoke out something he could understand.
"Young adventurer, you have done well."
Jack looked around, trying to determine the source of the voice. But it was as if the voice came from all directions at the same time. Like echo reverberating from the curve walls.
"I thank you for your endeavor in reforming my consciousness," the voice continued. "A few more days, and I might have lost to the void. Forever gone from this world."
Upon the last sentence, the voice seemed to condense. It's no longer sounded as if it came from everywhere. It sounded like it was spoken from right behind him.
He turned around, and saw a stunning woman in a white garment. Her feature was perfect. Her thin yet long eyebrow accentuated her blue eyes below, which was like clear water and gave a sense of tranquility. Her aquiline nose and full lips were perfectly proportionate with her flawless face. Her long golden hair was half covered by a white head veil. Her white robe was simple with no decoration, however it still gave the impression of richness.
The woman walked towards him. The gracefulness of her movements showed a disciplined temperament. Her gaze was calm. She exuded a mature and firm mentality. Jack didn't know why, but the closer she got to him, the calmer he felt. All his worries evaporated as if morning dew touched by rays of sunlight. He felt true peace for the first time since the world changed.
Her voice which was like a well-tuned melody spoke to him, "It was a good thing you have stumbled upon this place and managed to reconstruct the core of my consciousness. It would have been a disaster upon the world otherwise. There are dark forces in this world that wish to prevent me from getting in their way. Now I need to reconvene with my brothers and sisters to discuss our plan."
He was completely lost on what the lady just said.
The woman looked at him with a serene demeanor and asked, "Do you have something that you wish for my assistance before I leave?"
What? She was going to leave already? Jack was immediately whipped back to attention. "Wait, wait!" He called out, afraid the lady would vanish as mysteriously as she had appeared.
"Yes?" She gazed at him patiently as if an elder to her junior.
"Are you saying that big floating cube from before was you?" He asked.
"It was part of my consciousness," she answered. "But with it being fragmented, I might as well be lost. You have my gratitude, young adventurer."
"Um, you are welcome. I am Storm Wind by the way," he offered her his in-game name.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Storm Wind." She gave an enchanting smile that might charm any being.
"May I be so bold as to ask for my lady's name?"
"That's too kind of you. You can call me Serenity."
Serenity, the name suited her very well. Jack thought in his mind.
"Is there anything else, Mr. Storm Wind?"
What was this? Normally in an RPG games, you would be given a clue or reward once you cleared out a stage. Why did it feel like he was not getting anything for his troubles?
"Do you know what had happened to the world?" He asked.
"What do you mean?" She gave a confused look.
"The world. Before, it was a real world with millions of people in it. And now it was a game world with monsters roaming in it."
"I have no idea what you mean, Mr. Storm Wind," she said. "But there is indeed foul wind afoot. As I mentioned before, there are Dark Forces rising. If we didn't do anything, the world as we know it will be no more."
Crap, this might be a storyline of this game world. He would not get any clues regarding the changes to the real world from her.
"If you have nothing more, I will take my leave."
"Wait, wait!" He said nervously. Bloody hell, why was she so anxious to leave. It looked like he had no choice but to be shameless. If he could not get a clue, then at least he needed to get a reward for all his troubles.
"You said you were safe because of me, right? Shouldn't I get some rewards from it?"
"Ah," she seemed to have realized. She looked at him as if he was a debt collector.
Damn! Why was it looking as if he was the bad guy now? Shouldn't it normal for the hero to be rewarded after saving a maiden?
"Well, I have restrictions that prevented me from giving you things that may directly upset the balance of the world," she said. "This incident was not meant to be, so I was not meant to give any rewards. That being said, you did save me and was indirectly the benefactor of the world. As long as it was not rare items, then I could still award you, but of course giving you normal items was also not appropriate considering your merit."
She appeared to be having deep thought for a while. Jack silently waited beside her patiently.
After some time, she finally said, "All right, I've thought about it. I will grant you three gifts."
"Three?" Jack was excited.
"The first is my blessing," she said as she blew a kiss to him.
He stood there blankly. What? That's it? Are you joking with me?
Before he was about to protest for such vague reward, he heard a sound of notification.
"Congratulations, you have received the Blessing of Goddess. Permanently increase luck by 10."
He immediately opened his status window. Yes, it was an Inherent Skill. It was there under his other inherent skill Immortal Soul. His luck was now 13 points including the bonus from his ring. That was a great boost from before. He figured with such high luck, the drop rate should not be too shabby now, right?
Wait, he suddenly realized something. Did it say Blessing of Goddess?
Goddess?!

He was about to join the beta test on the newest VR games, Second World.

But an anomaly threw him into a world with familiar rules, a rule he usually only experienced in a game.

Now he must use his past gaming experience in this new world.

It was no longer a game, it was survival! A strive to reach the highest level possible.

Equipped with dual-class of melee and magic user, Jack was set on the path to become the strongest character in this brave new world.

Entrance 3 of the YouPlay convention, New World Expo Center, Magic City.
"My goodness there are so many people! Where's the manager? didn't we agree to meet at entrance 3?"
Su Jinyu looked around.
Magic City's wasn't all that cold this time around, and the weather had been fine the past few days, comparable to spring or fall in the Imperial Capital so most people had long sleeves and pants.
Other than Su Jinyu, Zheng Hongxi, Qian Kun, and a few other new employees, regulars such as Wen Lingwei, Jia Peng, Zou Zhuo, and Lin Xue were here too since Chen Mo had many spare tickets.
"Goldfish." Chen Mo finally appeared among the sea of people.
Everyone gathered around, "Huh? Where did you come from, manager? Have you entered the convention already?"
Chen Mo laughed, "Come, follow me."
Everyone queued up close to one another fearing they might lose someone.
Su Jinyu asked, "Manager, which booth are we visiting first?"
"Which one? Ours, of course," said Chen Mo.
Huh?
Chen Mo led everyone to Thunderbolt Entertainment's booth in hall N2 through hall N5.
But they were big with a large group of guys in the first hall. They were surrounding one of the booths as they blocked the way forwards.
"Showgirl!"
"Her legs are so pretty!"
"This is excellent! She fits the ancient Chinese costume so well, I have to grab a picture!"
"What is this, an RPG? I'll have to try it out then!"
"It's a small company, it doesn't look like it's good.'
"Who cares if it isn't good, good looking showgirls means good game!"
Wen Lingwei lost a little bit of her humanity, and Zheng Hongxi facepalmed as they saw this.
Su Jinyu told off the bunch of guys, "Can you guys quit blocking the way just to stare at breasts! You guys are bringing shame to the manager of the booth."
Of course not!
Satisfied at her actions, Su Jinyu said, "Alright, let's move on, manager. Manager?"
She turned around to find that she had lost Chen Mo.
Turns out Chen Mo was trying to break through the crowd to grab a picture too.
Su Jinyu was speechless, "Manager!"
Chen Mo turned around, "Quit it, their statue looks really good. Let's make one too. How would it look if it had it in front of our store?"
Turns out Chen Mo was taking a large statue at the back. It was a huge, really traditional Chinese goddess that looked as though it was alive, fully conveying the emotions of the aftermath of a drunken party in an ancient Chinese setting.
Su Jinyu breathed a sigh of relief, "That goodness. Your image would be completely ruined if you were there to take pictures of the showgirl.
Chen Mo shook his head vigorously, "Why would I, the showgirls we have are better looking than this. We can't have our attention drawn away by these that are worse."
The group continued moving past many booths. They didn't give the booths a detailed look, but it was evident that these video game companies didn't skimp on spending to attract the attention of the players!
There were some overseas Western fantasy RPG games that had showgirls dress up as blonde-haired elves with pointy ears. Combined with long legs and western looks, they looked just like the characters in the game.
Chinese game developers weren't skimping either. Even smaller companies that worked on casual puzzle games also tried to incorporate showgirls into their booths, trying every way they could to get eyes on their booth.
"Zen Entertainment's booth is right ahead," introduced Chen Mo.
Zen Entertainment didn't have as many showgirls, but they still had plenty of players there to try out games.
Su Jinyu was shocked, "Why are there so many people?"
Jia Peng was also confused, "There aren't any sexy showgirls there, why are they gathered around there?"
"Because Zen Entertainment has a game demo going on. Look, you can play a Legend of the Sword in VR on a premium account, with the best gear possible. And on the other side, they have a demo for their new game Winged World. The players are all there to try them out." explained Chen Mo.
"Zen Entertainment is quite impressive too, they are taking up the majority of the space in this hall," expressed Zheng Hongxi.
Su Jinyu asked, "What about Emperor Dynasty Entertainment? Don't think we've seen them yet."
"It's in the back, let's keep moving," said Chen Mo.
It took a huge amount of effort to get the group to hall N2.
They saw Emperor Dynasty's humongous booth as they entered as it took up the majority of this hall too. It was split into many sections, each section for each of their high quality games. Games like Moon Lord's Prophecy and Demon Slayers had their own areas.
These areas were also decorated to their themes too, for example Moon Lord's Prophecy had special lights to represent the moon. The atmosphere of that area was accentuated by a few showgirls in ancient Chinese clothing.
There were a few staff members from Emperor Dynasty Entertainment that were visibly displeased as they saw Chen Mo.
Wen Lingwei was distubed by this, "Geez, what's their problem? How could they be rolling their eyes on the first sight of the manager?"
"Isn't that normal? The manager had toyed with them a few times since he entered the industry. It'd be weird if they treated him nice!" said Su Jinyu.
Chen Mo didn't care, "This way."
The group followed Chen Mo to discover a booth that shocked all of them.
"I-isn't this a poster from Warcraft?"
"There's also a statue of a Shikigami from Onmyoji!"
"Geez, there's a showgirl cosplaying as Aoandon!"
"What is this? It says its Thunderbolt Entertainment's booth? This is our booth?"
They were shocked as Chen Mo never revealed anything to them. All they knew was that Chen Mo was working on something in the Magic City.
Turns out he was working on the booth!
There were many people at Thunderbolt Entertainment's booth, comparable to Emperor Dynasty Entertainment's and Zen Entertainment's. There were quite a few members of staff trying to maintain the order at the booth too.
Chen Mo split the booth into two areas for Warcraft and Onmyoji. The Warcraft area was decorated in a Western fantasy theme with a huge poster. There was also a live-sized Arthas statue with many people playing Warcraft at the computers.
The Onmyoji area was obviously in a eastern style filled with cosplayers cosplaying as Abe no Seimei, Kagura, Hiromasa, and many others. There were also many pieces of equipment from the game, such as Abe no Seimei's table, and scrolls from the game. They all appeared to be ordered just for this even.
This... is beautiful!


Chen Mo liked calling himself a video game designer, despite being a mere video game producer.
After dying one day from work-related stress, he transmigrated into a parallel world as himself, right after he graduated. He was now in the body of his younger self, who also aspired to be a video game designer. 
Will he be able to fulfill his dream after being reborn in this oddly different new world, and become the best video game designer in that world?
Follow Chen Mo on his romp through video game classics as he brings the great games of the past to a whole new world in pursuit of his dreams!

Near was sitting alone in the corner, playing with his pure white puzzle he had probably solved a million times. He was so pathetic. I was thinking of walking over to him, but I didn't have a reason to. "Hey, Mello! Come play with us!" Said some other children.
I walked over and stopped observing Near's extremely antisocial attitude. "Sure guys. Soccer?"

I was outside playing soccer now with the other boys. I saw the most annoying girl in our orphanage, Linda, walk over to me. "Mello!" She said, running and waving her hand.
"What do you want, Linda?" One of the boys I was hanging out with said rudely. 
Others agreed with his tone. I did too. She had too many people who were tired of her. "I only want to talk to Mello, jerks!"
I wasn't too sure what she was gonna tell me, but I had a feeling I wasn't interested. "Alright what do you want to talk to me about?" I asked, kind of anxious to see if it was about me.
"I wanted to see if you could help me with something."
I sort of scowled at her. "Depends on what it is."
I heard a soft, but still male voice say, "She wants you to help her get a book off the high shelf in the library."
I looked behind Linda and it was Near. He was already starting to walk back into the building. I had never seen him go outside to make any social contact with anyone. (Damn it I should have added Mello seeing L with a cheesy grin in one of the windows and L giving him a thumbs up) Linda walked over to Near. "Well, Mello doesn't want to do it so how about you?"
Near turned around with a blank expression. "I don't think I'd be much help."
He started walking away and I didn't stop him. If he wanted to be a hermit, then he can be a damn hermit! Nobody is stopping him! "Fine, I'll get that book for you, Linda."

I was inside and in the library. "Hey Mello!" I heard a familiar voice say.
Matt was walking up to me. "Hey Matt."
He was kinda sweating nervously. "Do you think you could convince the other guys in here that I'm not technically cheating my games?"
Matt was the guy who had beaten his games a million times. He was also the type to be so good at the games, he could play them backwards. With his eyes closed. I wouldn't be surprised if he had memorized the entire script of one of his RPG games. "But Matt, it is kinda cheating if you know all the endings."
Matt hung his head jokingly. "Heh heh...I have the best friend ever."
I grabbed his head and put it in a soft headlock. "Say uncle!"
"Ah! Uncle! Uncle!" He said, going along with the joke.
I let him out of the headlock. Roger had just came in. "Mello, i'd like to see you in my office." 
He then walked away from the library.
Matt looked at me, smiling and said, "ooo you're in trouble." 
"Yeah yeah. I don't even know what he wants yet." I told him.
"Mello...that book?" Kinda reminded me.
I grabbed it for her and ran into the hallway.

I was in Roger's office when he came in. "Mello, glad you came." He told me. 
I was too curious. I had to find out what this was about. "what did you bring me here for, Roger?"
Roger sat down and smiled. "You and Near will be meeting L in three weeks."
I was shocked. Me, Mello, got to meet the man I looked up to the most? Roger looked behind me and Near was standing at the door. "May I come in, Roger?" He asked.
I hated him so much. He was always going to be number one, and I was always gonna be number two. "Yes, Near."
Near walked in and sat on the floor, sitting with one leg straight and the other up to his chest, while holding onto the knee up to his chest. "Like I was saying, it is going to be a big opportunity to meet L." Roger told us.
I looked over and Near's expression had not changed, even after hearing about the two of us meeting L. Did he hate me just as much as I hate him?
