"I can't believe I'm really here." Chanzu's heart is filled with excitement as he entered the registration venue, there are a lot of people (more or less a thousand) forming a line.

"they must be the ones who have a free access ticket like me, and the ones who would like to register to the game, they must be coming from a very rich family to be joining this game. It makes me feel so lucky being able to join the game for free" said Chanzu in his mind as he mixed himself in the crowd.

"Everyone, who has a free access ticket, please form a line to the right and allow the security guards to guide you to where you would go next. For the others who would like to pay for the registration, please go to the left- to those who would pay for the registration, make sure you have with you your valid ID." said the masked man who's talking in front of the stage where everyone can see him. He appeared to be wearing a hoody with an "M7 Logo" on the front and a mask with a happy face print.

"Chanzu!!!!- Chanzu!!!"

"wait? did someone call my name? I think I heard someone calling me" said Chanzu, he wondered who's calling him.

"Chanzu!!!!"

He looked around until he saw Yoya and Goryo looking for him near the entrance gate. He ran towards them and was so happy to see them in the venue.

"Thankfully we found you, we thought we're too late." said Yoya.

"haha, what brought you here, yeah I was about to enter now so I can not chat with you for too long" said Chanzu with a big smile on his face.

"We thought you would need this so we brought this along"

"what's that?"

Yoya handed over a lunch box with food she prepared, as well as his ID, and a pair of shoes.

"wow, you bothered to buy me a pair of shoes for this event? you don't really need to but.. I really appreciate it so thank you so much mother! oh and a food? wow thank you" his eyes were a bit teary as he said those words.

"you take care there son, you know how your mother gets if anything bad happens to you, of course I am the same" said Goryo with a concerned voice.

"Of course father, mother, I will take care of myself and I will do my best to bring home the prize"

"Just get back home safe regardless if you win or not, ok? " said Yoya.

"Sure thing mother! thank you for your concern. I love you both"

"wear your shoes now so you can get there looking a little bit presentable. haha"

"haha yeah sure"

"how long are you gonna be playing this game son?" asked Yoya

"that... I am not really sure mother... if I'm really lucky I think I might not be able to go home very soon."

"Ok son, I really don't have any idea what this game is all about but always remember our advice, you be good there ok" said Yoya.

"yes mother, don't worry"

After a while... Chanzu bid farewell to his mother and father as he went straight ahead to where the other people who has free access ticket formed the line.



As he gazed around, he could see other players holding  their tickets. He was the last in the line.

"they must be feeling the same excitement as I feel right now" he thought

The girl he's next to wondered and asked him: "Hi. how old are you?" the girl asked
