::13:: The Forest of Happiness

TEN'S POV

Many things had really changed in this company. They surely did leveled up on their technologies and games but why do they focus much on the employees? Like me. I was just suppose to be Mr. Kun's secretary but.. why am I here?

The Forest of Happiness Starts Here!

The big arc said. There is a character I haven't seen before, standing by the arc. It a Girl dressed in traditional Chinese clothes. I don't know how and why but the envelope I got is about this Forest of Happiness. 

I went pass the arc and tall Pine trees welcomed me. Is this a real forest? Because if it is not, I don't know what to say anymore. The game developer is a genius for this!

I took the cement path that was already there since there's kinda a lot of bushes in the sides of the pathway. One thing I observed in this forest is that it is not the reality. The ambiance sure is of the real forest but a screen caught my eyes by the trees so it definitely isn't real.

My feet stopped at the sight of a sunflower. I went near it and picked it up. It's real...

I felt a slight curve in my lips. Sunflowers. I love it. It makes me feel calm and gives me positivity. I just.. really love it.

Some plants in this forest may have been really real. Like this sunflower I currently am holding.

I continued walking again but then, the pathway suddenly comes to an end. Is this the game they are saying? Is it finish? Hmmm... I don't think so. Maybe, maybe I need to search the forest?

I walked through this dense forest as if I'm not worried something might suddenly appear. Yes. Actually, I'm a little scared right now. I am worried that some wild animal might come after me and I don't have any weapon to defend myself. But... this is just a game right? So I wouldn't get hurt? Ayyyyyyssss It's quite confusing but anyways, I'll just be careful.

I was too pre-occupied with the flower I am looking at that I didn't notice a net trap that was set.

"WAA!"

O what the Ten?! Why are you screaming just because you get startled?! What's with this net?

Yes you thought right. I am currently trapped in a net and hanging on a tree.

A hologram suddenly appeared in front of me. A guy with a tall figure and small face appeared. He looks like... Johnny.

"Trapped eh~?"

But he isn't. He just looks like him because of his figure but this man in the hologram looked more like an AI.

" Wanna get out?" he asked. Do I need to answer this? Will he response according to my answer or does he have a pre-determined responses? Well, I should find it out.

"Yes I do. But how?"

"Could you encode your name Sir, please?"

"Encode? How? Where?"

"Whisper it to the sunflower you are holding."

Whisper it? Why? Did they plant something in this sunflower?

"TEN" I whispered

"Hello Sir Ten! I am 001 your guide to happiness!"

I chuckled with what he said. How can he? 

"First stop is letting go!"

"Letting go?"

"Everyone has their own burdens, their own sadness, their own pains. Let it go, Master. Let go of whoever constantly haunt your mind." the man in the hologram said. I just.. I don't get it. Is this game somewhat assessed our actions and even our thoughts? Because how could something like a made-for-game character looks so confident that he knows that he is right? Or.. does the company encoded our profiles for this game?
