The cold wind caressed the apartments' windows in the city of Samara. Esfirasya wiped her round eyeglasses in front of her foggy window. The window is her other source of light, and a window to the mundane outside world, as she often fought many battles in online war games every afternoon. She heard the smooth hum of her computer's system unit (often called as a CPU, or Central Processing Unit), then she reminded herself that Asch's humming is such a music for her ears.

"Don't fail me now, Asch!" she whispered to herself, as if her computer's human persona showed in front of her.

She wore her cleaned eyeglasses, then sat at her computer desk. It's cluttered with four portable hard drives, two game controllers, and six anime action figures posed as her keyboard's guardians. Her black desktop computer, Asch, stood mighty among its computer peripherals with its blood red neon lights. She spent two school years worth of her savings to build & upgrade Asch, to enjoy the games at their best performance.

Above her beloved, well-guarded gaming machine, five gold, and silver trophies from different Call of the Battlefield tournaments, stood on the glass shelves. “Next time! New game trophy will be ours, Asch!”

Esfirasya clicked on the System Test button at the game's splash screen over her anime-themed desktop screen. A second later, she heard a loud whirring noise from her system unit. Her computer gave warmth to her pale skin, until her grumbling stomach ruined her mood. Nope, she won't go downstairs for a while.

Instead, she grabbed one of her action figures, then whispered at its face, “Should this red beast pass system test, Sinon, we'll play NOAH together!”

Her screen showed a large fleet of ships approached the humongous planet slowly. Around it, eleven moons circled around the hulking world like a slower merry go round, bound with pulsating smoke-like lines. In this new game, players will assume the role of new colonists, out to take over the planet. Tonight, Esfirasya and her friends will be the first batch!

Another second passed, her computer screen flashed a message, «Your system passed the first segment of NOAH Online System Test!»

“All right!” Esfirasya raised her fist to the roof, as her computer met the game's system requirements. She heard someone knocked on her door thrice.

"There are snacks downstairs, Pepper!" Esfirasya's mom said behind her door. No wonder, her mother called her Pepper, over her dedication to PC gaming, troubleshooting, and customization.

The smell of a certain food made its way through her door. Her stomach growled at the moment she smelled her mother's snacks. She usually won't come down from her 'battle station' until she shut it down, but that snack downstairs nagged her senses.

"Da! I'm coming, mom!" she said, as she headed to her closet.
