Episode #24: Welcome Back

Chapter 24: Welcome Back

Third Person's Point Of View

Inside a quite and white tinted room with glass walls sorrounding it, maraming white furnitures like sofas and glass tables na nakalagay.

On a corner, may isang single sofa na nakaharap sa glass walls kung saan kitang-kita ang mga nangyayaring trabaho na nasa loob nitong gaming company building.

Computers are everywhere at kahit medyo naaangat ang single room na ito mula sa floor sa harap nito, still naririnig pa rin ang mga ingay, telephone calls, keyboard tappings and mumbling noises from all of the employers around.

Araw gabi, wala silang pahinga just to make this game better and well organized as always, just to avoid glitches or errors inside this huge game world data. May malaking LED screen sa isang corner ng big room na ito at dun nakalahad ang scoreboard ng mga top players sa game na ito.

Back to the single room just above the corner side of this big room, prenteng nakaupo lamang ang isang lalaki dun sa single sofa, watching his whole crew who is guarding the game as careful as they can.

With a cigarette in his right hand, he puts it down the ashtray on a sidetable near him. This guy is the leader of the CORE group.

Black eyeglasses, blue brushed-up hair, pale face. Calm expression. Nakasuot ng gray coat with black coat inside and a red necktie. Pinaresan ng black pants and also a pair of shiny shoes. Sa itsura niya ngayon he is just in his 20s. And that is right.

Out of knowhere he heard a sudden knock twice from the door behind him. "What?" he said not looking back to the closed door.

Instead of an answer, bumukas ang pinto at makikita ang isang lalaking nakapamulsa sa red pants nitong dire-diretsong pumasok sa loob without the permission of the owner.

"May I come in?" tanong ng lalaking kakapasok lang.

"What do you want?" straight-forward as usual. The CORE leader never changed.

Napangiti na lamang ang bagong dating na lalaki't naupo sa isang sofa dito sa loob ng room. "The hidden treasure was finally found."

The leader made a sudden and unexpected pause from his movement. He almost forgot how to breathe after hearing that news from this guy with him in this room.

"All of it?"

Natawa ang lalaki. "Of course not. Just one. Masyado ka talagang atat, Leader." the guy commended. Hindi madaling makuha ang apat na treasures sa iisang laro lang.

"Which one?" tanong muli ng Leader. He composed his self back from the shock just a while ago.

"The strongest one." nang maisagot yun ng lalaki, napalingon na ang Leader sa kausap.

"Who found it?" tanong ng Leader.

"A Player named..." pabitin pang sagot ng lalaki bago niya dinugtungan ito ng isang ngisi. "...Kleojuo. Master Dengrou."

"That Kleojuo, huh." bulong ng Leader tsaka binalik sa big room ang tingin. At nang mapatingin siya sa big screen nakita na niya ang pangalang 'Kleojuo' sa top ten scoreboard, and he is ranked 2 already.

Napansin niyang nagkagulo ang lahat ng tao sa loob ng big room nang mapansin din nila ang nangyaring big update sa scoreboard ng game.

"Interesting." naibulong nalang ng Leader. Then a smile was formed from his lips. "So this is the start of the true fun already. Nakakatuwa. Tingnan natin kung sino na naman sa kanila, ang mag-uuwi ng tropeo sa taon na ito."
