I loved movies. Immersing your self into weaved plots why eating your favorite movie snack after a long tired work is đ. However, those thrilling occurrence within my body is long past gone.
By the way, My name is Samantha. People calls me Sam. Just your normal workaholic girl with a simple restaurant business near downtown. Got 2 siblings, both finished studying college.
One cold, silent night, I laid on a sofa bed, one arm dangling on the armchair and the other picking snack while watching, I suddenly thought how unpredictable life could be.
Our parents dies in a car accident when I just finished my college. They gave us a little bit of money to past through life. This gave me an opportunity to start my small restaurant business. Together with determination and courage, it gradually blooms. Even some tourist tries to taste our native delicacies.
Although years passed by, my passion when I start cooking is still within myself. Preparing foods, cooking and serving them to our customers makes me feel satisfied. Though I have hired chefs and workers to do things, I still lead my little kitchen. It gave me satisfaction, especially when I see my costumers enjoys our food.
Ring... Ring...
I grab my phone lazily while my eyes glued on the TV screen.
'Hello'
'Sam, how are you? I have news for you!'
Ohhh... My super energetic brother. He calls me with no apparent reasons. His 'news' may just be some new dogs in his neighborhood, what he just buys today, and something like new toothpaste products he uses. However, his energy keeps us both together when times we're both sad.
'What it is, little brother?' I asked sarcastically.
'Ha, ha!' Don't worry, this is really interesting. You heard this new game right now? I have bought it!. It is REALLY cool, i've tried it. And it was totally not a waste of time!. I know, you hate wasting your time. Remember when we went to .... '
Yup, he sidetracked again.
'Wait, lets go back to this game you have said earlier' I said.
'Ohhh. Yeah,. Haha. Yes, this game felt really, really, really real. Promise You know, You can really breath. You can feel the ground. You can smell the air.
Even I can't see his face right now, I could imagine his eyes shining, his arms were extravagantly spreading, like those Mimes you see in movies. I could totally feel his energy transmitting in my phone.
Being an eldest child, with lots of responsibilities I shoulder, gaming is totally out of my world. So, his long blabbering just went out to the other side of my ears.
'I know you hate this kind of set up, computer games in general. You may felt this is a waste of time, right?'
'Absolutely, you know I have my business here, and I can only manage it. My time is not enough' I affirmed, rolling my eyes.
'Listen to me, I can smell some opportunities here'
*Sniff *Sniff
'As you can see, this is in early game development. People would absolutely flock here. With realism that makes my head hurt, which is really amazing, I could really affirmed we can grab some good business here'
'What do you mean?' My brother acts childlike, sometimes he uses his brain. He likes to be goofy and stupid.
'To summarize, RPG like games did heavenly using potions, armors, weapon, etc which can be bought to NPC. However, players can also create those things!' His excitement gradually increases
'Okay?' I can't still see what he intend to tell me.
'Which means, we can create something and sell it to other players. Any consumables, as long we can sell them!'
'Okay? I know that the game has its own currency, but how can you convert it to money, huh, little brother?'
He signed.
'Convert? That is exactly why I called you! The game currency can be converted into ours! And what's more, we can transport anything that Non-NPC created into real world, you know what it means?'
He is in borderline HYSTERICAL.
'Wait, what do you mean? You can transport something from the game?'
'Exactly!'
'I can't comprehend. How can you transport something into reality?'
'I've also thought about it. I've searched into the internet and lots of people said it was a scam because just a few minutes ago, the company of Summoner's Path Game, Arcadia, Mr. Lenorde, announces it personally. You can check on the news!'
I'm still doubtful. How on earth can you get something from the game into reality? Yes, they may create some sword, guns, etc. Maybe, they would just create a copy?
'Also, this long game style bartering, which you would pay some money to buy things in the game, you know?' He signed.
Yup, it just solidifies my innocence in gaming world.
'Okay, I'll check it' I said to end the conversation. But I really plan to check what he is really up to.
'It seems you are watching a movie today. You did not heard this news. Call me if you learnt it!. Bye-bye!'
'Bye!'
My brother hanged up.
I look at my Cellphone, click one of my browser.
