Several computers in the spacious warehouse area blared zipping noises, as Henry walked to the meeting room. He saw the employees' flat screen monitors displayed messages from the players, then the young employees responded to them in a snap.

“Another complaint from an American player about our transforming slime monsters, sir Henry!” the bald employee shouted at him.

He approached his father's employee, with his hands in his fitted denim shorts, “For now, tell him to strike 'em at their sides.”

“You sure about this?” the bald employee raised his voice, “I died like five times fighting three of them, then we'll answer that?”

“Yes. Tell it to him.” Henry smiled at him.

The bald employee nodded at him, then he strode to the meeting room.

Henry panted after his hasty walk to their office. He saw his bespectacled siblings, and his father, sat at the long wooden table. He sat beside Iris, his twin sister. “What's up, Ate Iris?”

Iris whispered, “Papa has something for us.”

Orion, the white-haired father, cleared his throat, “Kids, from now on, you will be given a special NOAH Online character.”

“Would that mean, we get to play all day with you, dad?” Edgar, the spiky-haired brother with glasses, asked.

"Yes, but we won't be like the regular players though.” Orion smiled at him. “Those new characters you'll get are: our game supervision and modification characters.”

“That means, we'll be likely to use them for organizing events for the players, dad?” Valerie, the short-haired eldest sister, stroked her chin.

“Oh papa! How are we going to be noticed?” Iris asked.

While Henry's siblings asked most of the questions, he drew a mental picture of his other avatar.

In his mind, he saw himself as a dark blue-haired boy. He wore a short-sleeved baby blue uniform, with a pair of epaulettes. Should this game run as planned, I'm going to find this costume! If not, I can always model it myself.

In a split second, a short-haired girl with short cycling shorts hugged him. “Hope to see you again, Henry!”

A gentle breeze caressed his legs, then he found himself wearing a pair of yellow mid-thigh bike shorts. At the same second, his face reddened, either for his imagined girly-boy avatar? Or the sight of his schoolmate crush?
