Fantasy Burst Online [ HIATUS ]

|| 12 || [Revised]

Okay, I just wanted to say that I changed the whole chapter and removed the unwanted cringy drama part. Just found out how horrible my writing was, before.

Maybe up until now.

Chapter 12: First Glance

Flashing on the screen is the front part of the Ashton games company with it's logo of a rubrics cube orbited by two lines in full view.

What is going on?

The camera zoomed into a news reporter na isa lang sa mga halos hindi ko na mabilang na dami ng media na nakapalibot roon. Sa ibabang part ng screen ay nakaflash ang sagot sa tanong ko. So today was the supposed day of launching?

"So as you can see, ladies and gentlemen, we are standing in front of Ashton Games to bring you the latest news about the launching of the first Virtual Reality Massive Multiplayer Roleplaying Game, VRMMORPG for short, the Fantasy Burst Online. " wika nito sabay turo sa dereksyon sa likuran niya.

As soon as he finished talking, the camera shifted to the bunch of people standing not too far from the building itself. Karamihan sa mga iyon ay mga kabataan. "And over there, we can find a group of gamers who went their way to witness the launching in person."

Mula sa isa sa mga pintuang nasa magkabilang gilid naman ng building ay nakita ko si dad na napapaligiran ng tatlong nakatuxedo na lalaki, which I am guessing were his personal guards as he took a glance at the groups of people surrounding him, smiling as he did so.

Lumapit siya sa podium at kaagad na pinalibutan ng media at kinunan ng sandamakmak na mga litrato. Kung sabagay, hindi na ganoon kadalas lumabas ng opisina niya si dad.

"For real? Ngayon talaga ang launching?" hindi makapaniwalang wika ni Tristan na nakatayo na pala sa tabi ko habang nakatitig sa tv screen.

"Shh, itikom mo nga yang bibig mo!" sigaw dito ni Sabrina dahilan upang samaan siya ng tingin ng huli. I smell something fishy.

Lumapit naman sa amin si Ashley kasama si Sebastian at mahinahon na sinaway ang dalawa. "Wag na nga kayong mag away na dalawa, Ate, kuya. Let's just continue watching"

Tristan scoffed and turned back to look at the TV screen and we all continued watching what was supposed to happen next.

Dad cleared his throat and smiled once more, gazing around him before he finally started speaking. "Okay. This goes like this.

Good evening, everyone. My name is Terrenz Kyle Zapanta, the CEO of Ashton Games and creator of the new VRMMORPG we would be launching today." He paused, staring at one of the cameras this time at tila ba ginawa niya iyon dahil alam niyang nanonood din ako; kami. "We spent the whole seven years in developing this game, from the maps, the mechanics, the coding, the NPC, quests and many more. Honestly, I thought it will take us another year or two before we can finish developing this game. It is, after all the first virtual reality game ever created.

"Let me explain to you what a VRMMORPG is. It stands for Virtual Reality Massive Multiplayer Roleplaying Game, a type of game that allows a player to engage themselves in three dimensional dimensional game instead of the usual two dimensional ones usually found in consoles and PC." As he was explaining, a large holographic screen appeared on his back, flashing two different screens to show the difference between VRMMORPG and the usual MMORPG games we've been playing for almost a few decades now. "You see, this new type of gaming allows a player to 'feel' and 'experience' the world surrounding him, the virtual world surrounding him."
