"Frankenstein, I experienced death again."

"Frankenstein, I thought I'd go to eternal sleep."

No matter what Rai did, he never excelled in playing video games. Suyi who had her first try on the combat video games won against him. He was even provided a cheat book about video games, and Frankenstein even provided a PC Room inside the house. But he still failed. Even the 3D glasses did him no good. He was not really born to be a gamer.

"What should I do?" Frankenstein thought to himself as he pondered of the matter inside his office.

His piles and piles of paperwork were through, and he did not expect any visitor or meetings. He needed this time to look for a game that will make Rai feel accomplished.

"I need to do my research," he thought as he surfed the net.

As he encountered tons and tons of games, his search reached collectors. The first that he encountered was the kitty game "Neko Atsume."

"Hmmm, I wonder what this is," he thought.

He read in a certain blog that in Neko Atsume, you just have to buy and buy lots of goodies and food, and place in the yard for the cats to come and play. With certain goods and certain types of food, even the rare cats will come and chill in the yard.

"Hmmm, this is a rather laid back type of game, but maybe Master will enjoy it and not experience death," he thought. "So all he needed to do is to wait for the cats..."

Another collector that he came across was "Notice Me Senpai," but there was limited resources on the internet.

"So, the same as Neko, but the player has to attract the Sunbaenims in the coffee shop," he thought. "I might as well suggest these games instead."

"Collecting cats?" Rai calmly asked.

"Ne, majayo (yes, that's right), Master," Frankenstein said while explaining the rules of the game.

"Will I experience death?" Rai asked.

"No, not at all," the faithful servant reply. "Master just need to wait for the cats to come to the yard."

Rai nodded. Frankenstein instructed his Master how to download the app on his smartphone. Rai silently obliged, following every step of the way. He's so bad at this, he realized if he could ever keep up with the times. Or he felt so old that he could not even keep up. However, living the current lifestyle is better than being alone in his mansion in Lukedonia.

Finally, Rai tapped the app, and he and Frankenstein studied how to go about with the collector game. But after buying some sashimi and some toys, Rai continued staring at his phone.

"Waeyo?"

"There are still no cats," Rai said.

"Let's just wait for a few minutes."

So Rai waited, waited, as he stared at his phone. But nothing happened.

"Er.... Master, how about you try to log out, then log back in the game after a few minutes?" Frankenstein suggested.

For Rai, this was getting difficult as well, but he had to try. After all, he will not experience death with collecting kitties. When he went back in, he saw two cats already playing in the yard: a white cat and a gray cat.

But Rai continued to stare at the cats lounging on the yard.

"What do I do?"

"Maybe... you just need to wait, or you just need to enjoy looking at your new feline friends," Frankie said. "Oh, I think I should prepare the tea first."
