MMORPG: Strongest Assassin Online

Alex's eyes were opened as his vision darken, he raised his hand and removed the helmet from his head and he was still in his room, Alex placed the helmet on his lap and touched the front glass screen of the VR helmet.

[In-game Time 6:20 pm]

[Real Time 3:20 am]

"Ohh, it actually shows the time" Alex nodded his head and kept his helmet back in the box which he bought the helmet in.

Alex yawned loudly standing up from the chair he sat on, he was extremely tired so he immediately lay on his bed and drifted off to sleep a few minutes after he closed his eyes.

...

Alex's eyes opened a little and the white light in his room blinded his vision, he closed his eyes immediately and rolled over bringing his face to his pillow.

Alex opened his eyes again and lay on his bed till he was ready to stand up, by then his eyes already adjusted to the light in his room, Alex stretched his body as soon as he stood up from his bed.

Alex took a deep breath and went into the bathroom first to ease himself, after exiting the bathroom he picked up his VR helmet and tapped on the front screen.

[In-game Time 7:00 am]

[Real Time 10:20 am]

'2 hours of in-game time is just 1 hour in the real world, it seems I need to log in so I can collect my reward'

Alex mumbled but he wasn't going to log in now, first he had to brush his teeth and eat and take a quick morning shower before anything.

Alex proceed to the bathroom where he brushed his teeth and took a morning shower, in his wardrobe clothes his size was already arranged inside and he picked a black shirt and baggy short trousers to wear.

Alex opened his door and exited the room and the scent of something delicious quickly reminded him that his mum was the one cooking, his mum worked as a chef in a restaurant when he was little so she was versed in all cooking styles.

With a smile on his face, Alex walked down the stairs to see both of his sisters cleaning, now that they lived in a big house they had to clean more often to keep the house sparkling clean and it was more of a routine to the girls as they did it with smiling faces.

Alex stood there staring at them as they worked, he was really surprised because he knew Alisha hated house chores so to see her working while smiling was a little surprising.

"Since when did you like chores so much?" Alex asked with a smile as he made his way to the living room.

"It's none of your business" Alisha spoke.

"Already snippy, it seems your smile was fake" Alex chuckled as he walked into the kitchen.

"Morning mum" Alex spoke as he walked in.

"Morning Alex, how was your night?"

"Great," Alex said with a smile, he spent more of the night in Nova Online making him sleep more than usual.

His mum was already done cooking so Alex helped in arranging the meal on the table, he wanted to eat quickly so he could resume playing.

"What about Dad?" Alex asked as he sat down.

"He came back last night and you were playing games instead of sleeping, and you are just waking up now"

"Sorry, I'll see him this night," Alex mumbled as he dig in.

After a little while Alex was done with his food, his sisters and his mum were still eating so he excused himself, he knew his sisters would clear the table so he didn't bother.

"He going to play that game, mum why can't you buy one for me" Alisha pouted as she finished eating.

"Since when do you okay games?" Alex's mum asked as she took a cup of water.

"This one is different, it's like the real world where you can see your friends, my boyfriend is playing..." Alisha realized what she said and immediately covered her mouth.

"Your boyfriend what? Do you mean Sam"

"No I didn't mean boyfriend, Sam is just a friend to me, he's not my boyfriend" Alisha quickly refuted.

"Really I'll tell him when next I see him," Alex said as climbed up the stairs.

"Alex, have you met him?"

"Yes mum, I saw him yesterday he came to look for his girlfriend" Alex chuckled as he walked upstairs.

"Yes, I also saw him, his girlfriend lives in one of the buildings in this estate," Alisha said as her mum glared at her, immediately she faced downward.

"I'm not against the idea of you having a male friend who you like, but...I don't think I need to explain to you"

"I know mum, we haven't done anything and I told him we are not going to do anything till am of age and ready" Alisha mumbled in a low voice.

"Young lady what are you saying, even if you are of age, save yourself for someone you really love not some high school boy that you are going to break up with"

"I'm not going to break up with Sam, we're going to attend the same college and get good jobs and then get married," Alisha said and her mum burst into laughter.

...

Alex opened the door and stepped inside his room, once again he went to ease himself as he drank too much water when eating, then he grabbed his VR helmet from the box and lay on the bed.

When he logged out earlier he was extremely tired and he knew it might be because of the chair he sat in for a long time so this time he decided to lay on the bed.

But before he could log in his phone rang inside his pocket and he took out the phone, Gabriel was calling him so he quickly answered.

"Hey bro, did you miss the Arena tournament?" Gabriel asked.

"I didn't, did you guys miss it?" Alex asked back.

"We did, we were hunting and you won't believe but we fought something interesting, and we all leveled up, what about you how was the arena"

"I won the 1M blue coins" Alex replied.

"I know you are joking, just tell me what happened in the arena" Gabriel chuckled softly.

"I'm not joking, I'm serious I won first place and got the 1M blue coins reward, I'm logging in now to collect my remaining reward, are you busy?" Alex asked.

"Really, I'm also logging in now, Max and Rebecca are already waiting for me," Gabriel said.

"Then you guys should meet me in front of the arena building," Alex said.

"Okay" Gabriel spoke and ended the call, Alex took a deep breath before putting on the helmet, soon his vision was clouded by the helmet and words appeared in front of his eyes.

[Connecting...]

[Scanning ID...]

[Face ID complete...]

[Welcome back Reaper]

Alex's vision returned and he was standing at the same location he logged out but it was now morning, the day was bright and the sun was shining bright, Alex turned around and made his way back to the arena building.

From afar Alex already sighted Lynx sitting down on a fence constructed around the building closest to the arena.

"Hey" Alex spoke as he got closer.

"Hi, you are here, the others are already here, and you are late," Lynx said.

Alex smiled as he walked inside, two other players sat down on a chair waiting, and as soon as they saw Alex they stood up.

"We have been waiting for you" one of them spoke.

"Sorry," Alex said as he looked behind the counter, another girl was behind the counter also staring at Alex.

"Hi," Alex said.

"Hello there, you are Reaper right?"

"Yes," Alex answered.

"Okay, I'll inform him that you are all here" the girl spoke still looking at Alex with a smile on her face.

The girl closed her eyes and mumbled some words and after a few seconds the door close to the counter opened and a man stepped out, two more men followed him with three chests in their hands.

"Your equipments are ready" the man spoke as the chests were opened.

"Huh!! this are all equipments for knights, I have no use for them" Alex said.
