The God Game: Reborn of the First Player

CHAPTER 8 (Ryuzaki Inoha)

KOUSUKE

After knowing the big prizes about the God Game can give, my heart pounded in excitement. If I can win this game I can bring back uncle Ole. We will be rich and we will have power and respect. What else could I wish after that? But the thing is after I open the God Game is that a lot of changes happened. It has been upgraded to the next level but what can I expect, years passed. I should play and open those vaults. It's not just me, I also have competitors upon playing.

"I can't help thinking," I whispered as I scratched the back of my neck.

Because of this thoughts, I will be no longer have my sleep. I guess yawning in the morning is the result of this thoughts. I am just thankful that it is still our rest day before we can finally play. I can finally play for the first time for how many years. I want to feel and see the new upgrade of the game.

I glance at the time and it's near three in the morning.

My father is one of the formulator of the God Game. It might be sweeter if he didnt die early so I can ask him on how to win the game. But I think God Game is just like any games out there. How come for how many years no one ever opened just the first vault? Is there any hidden shortcuts or even a clue? If there is, I should definitely find it out soon.

Uncle Ole didn't even tell me the reason of their death. My mother and father died at the same day and time. Did he even thought about telling me about it? Or is he going to tell me that day? I was having a feeling about that day. I keep on asking him that. But I didn't even had the chance.

My phone beep signaling that there is a message. I tap the open bar and surprised to know that it was Ryuzaki.

"Hey!"

I almost throw my phone away from my face when someone speak. I look at the glass door and learn it was him...Ryuzaki.

"You i***t!" I mouthed because if I scream my anger out, I know I can't hold my temper. And it is god damn three in the morning to start my bad day and I don't have my sleep.

He signalled me to open the door for him and I guess I have no choice but to do it. I can't afford if this day got any worse.

"Yow, can't sleep huh?" he asked and he freely entered himself in my room and slumped on my bed. He sighed and comb his hair using his fingers.

"Yeah, you can say that. What bought you here disturbing the hell out of me, mushroom?" I said as I crossed my arms on him and raising my right eyebrow.

"Mushroom? Endearment huh?" He chuckled and I can't help but to be irritated.

I kicked his feet and he even laugh harder. "Because you keep being here and there, you jackass!" I exclaimed and he decided to sit.

"Like you, I also can't sleep," he said and sit at the edge of the bed.

I sighed and scratch the back of my neck. I sitted next to him and laugh causing him to look at me and simultaneously laugh with me.

"And why is that? You are known here to be the sleeping guy and yet here you are telling me that you can't sleep. Tell me the truth Ryu," I said and his eyes saddened but his face shows other emotion. Eyes don't lie for me.

"You read the announcement right? The VI, the new reward," he answered and I nodded.

He slump his body and put his arms at the back of his head. "Well you know I kinda need that formula. To bring back my little sister. If I can have that formula, we can live in freedom, we can leave here. I don't want to settle here. Those walls here in Olympus, walls that we can't even reach. I know there is a world out there. There is a freedom out there, me and my sister will be there. Together we can feel the touch of fresh air in our cheeks and hair. The birds singing, the sound of the water, the blue clouds, and the stars in night. You know that feeling right?" he asked and I can't help not to think about it.

In my existence, walls are under in construction and I don't even know why. I thought it was just a small barrier or something stupid to waste money. The walls are eight kilometres from where we are now. I never witnessed it until now, maybe tomorrow I will come to look at it. I want to see it.

He is right, I don't get it why they have constructed those walls. There is a world out there, better world than here. They are people out there, just like us.

"Yes, but I didn't thought about those not after you told me now. Those walls were constructed at my time. I thought it was just a barrier because of the threatened war or wasting our money. I never thought such a thing. Only in movies, but here at us now. I want to see those walls," I said and heard him sighed.

"What happened to your sister?" I added and he glance at the window. It's still dark outside.

"We died on the same day. It was her birthday and her wish was to walk outside the walls for couple of minutes. That was her only wish...we sneak out eventhough it's forbidden. I love my sister so much, I promise to our parents that I will take care of her and give her happiness and don't let her sad," he answered and I can see pain in the shadow of his eyes.

We stayed in silence for a moment until I broke it.

"We should play our might, Ryu. I will help you."

'Even though you're lying in my face...I will find your motive.'
