《I Live To Play VR-MMORPG》Chapter 10
Advertisement
I have finally uploaded the games on Newgrounds, a website where people could upload their work for free and also earn money from the advertisements revenue.
Other than Newgrounds, I've also uploaded it on other websites where free games were played.
The problem was that to get the money I'll need a bank account or I can't receive the money from their side.
I can't use Father's bank account, he'll freak out when he sees the number of money that flowed in.
The only trustable and dependable adult which I know..
I can't think of another person other than the Old Man.
Old Man is a dense and simple-minded person. He would question where I get the money and if I explained it to him but he won't ask any further.
He's the type that only asks what but not why, especially if it's something too complex.
If I could use his bank account, I could ask him to buy furniture for us without father suspecting anything.
Yawn*
As expected, this undeveloped body of mine can't go on without sleeping a day.
Currently, I could barely keep my eyes open, my body keeps telling me to rest but I was forcing it to be awake.
The result of doing that was obvious, I can no longer move my body properly as it tries to shut down whenever I let my guard down.
I wanted to sleep but I can't sleep yet, I still need to tell the Old Man something before I could rest.
At this moment, since the morning has arrived. Lee naturally woke up.
Just with a slight morning sun rays hit his eyelids, he'll wake up instantly. It was his habit that allowed him to wake up on time and goes to work every day without the help of a clock alarm.
Yawn*
The moment he opens his eyes, he saw Andy was sitting in front of a computer, bobbing his head up and down, trying to not sleep.
"Andy, Did you not sleep the entire night?"
Seeing my weird behavior, Lee could easily guess that I didn't sleep at all but somehow Lee's complexion was worse than mine.
Of course, I didn't notice it as I was fighting with my brain that tries to shut down desperately.
"Huh? Oh? Um... Ah... I can't sleep, so I ugh... thought I... why not just play games."
I could barely talk properly, with my current condition, my brain was half-awake.
Thankfully, I could still answer the question.
I didn't tell him the truth because If I told him that I made a game while they're sleeping, Father will not believe me.
I can't tell him the truth yet, I would tell him when I am older or else it wouldn't be convincing.
Lee didn't' blame Andy as he also can't sleep last night. He was too stressed, resulting in himself struggling just to sleep.
He was constantly thinking about what should he do, what could he do.
He realized this place is not feasible for staying too long. He needs to find a real place to stay!
He has been thinking for the whole night. There's not much choice he can choose.
He definitely can't rebuild the house as it takes a lot of money and time.
He could only sell the land and use the money to rent a place to stay.

Thankfully, his important things such as his IC, ATM card, Bank Account card, passport, and money, were inside of his wallet.
If not, many troublesome things would need to be done before he could get his land certificate to sell the plot of land that he owned.
So today, he needs to quickly find a place to stay, and the next day he'll need to buy everything necessary which was lost from the accident.
For example, Andy's school uniforms and other uniforms that fall under the category of clothes and other things that he needs to buy would be daily necessities such as soaps, toothbrushes, and so on.
"You should just rest here and wait for me. Your father will find a place for us to stay in."
Hearing that Father wanted to leave, I stopped him and told him there's no need to find a place.
"About the place for us to stay. I have a suggestion. It's on the second floor of this store."
"I see. I'll wait for the owner to come and I'll discuss with him then."
Later on, after waiting for a while the old man arrived.
"Good morning."
Seeing our face, the old man twitched his eyes.
"Did you guys sleep at all?"
Realizing that he shouldn't have said that, the old man approached Lee to shake his hand.
"You must be the kid's father. Nice to meet you!"
"Y-yeah. Nice to meet you too"
Both of the adults greeted each other. Lee didn't respond in a high-spirited manner but the Old Man didn't blame him as he knew Lee is tired.
"By the way, Is the second floor is for rent? How much would it be for a month? If it's possible can we discuss it?"
"I see, Andy has told you."
"Honestly, seeing your condition. I don't think I have the heart to make money from you guys."
"If you guys want you can stay on the second floor for free. Honestly, I won't even use it if not you guys asked for it."
"I won't charge any money but you'll have to pay for the electricity and water bill by yourself. More importantly, you'll have to clean and furnish the whole floor by yourself. The third floor is yours too if you guys want them. I have no use for it either."
Old Man, I'm indebted to you again in this life.
"No, just one floor is fine, We'll clean them on our own and buy our own needs."
"Right now I'll go and buy cleaning tools and other things that we need. I'll be going now."
Lee left the convenience store, in order to buy stuff that he needed.
As Father finally left, this is a good opportunity to talk to the Old Man.
"Old Man, can you tell me your account number. I need it."
"For what?"
"I need to send money to your account. I'm making money on the internet but I can't tell my father."
"You? Why not?"
"You see, I was-"
"Don't. Nevermind that I asked."
Old Man used his hand and covered my mouth, stopping me from continuing to explain the reason. The moment he heard the 'you see', he felt a chill on his back so he stopped me from speaking anymore.

"Don't mind what I just asked, I'll just give you my account number. The money, what will you do with them?"
"To buy furniture, but don't tell my father that it was from me. Just say that you want to help us okay?"
"You sure that, the money will be enough to buy furniture?"
"I'm sure."
Pfft. It worked.
Starting with "You see~" was something that the Old Man hate.
He immediately stopped me from continuing, he's still the same as usual.
...
...
Andy has reached his limit. He went to sleep after he sends Old Man's account number to the websites that he uploaded the games at.
[Old Man's POV]
Sigh*
I guess he used this computer to do whatever thing he needs to do.
I wanted to carry Andy to another place but noticed a boy was standing behind me.
Both of them look very similar, Giant stature, ferocious look, tough-looking kid.
This must be his big brother.
"Hellow~ you must be his big brother?"
"Yeah."
"Then I'll leave your brother to you. You'll take care of him, is that fine with you?"
Mervin nodded but then asked a question.
"What did Andy said about keeping the secret from his father. He's earning money to buy furniture?"
...
Shoot!
This kid overheard the conversation.
"Uh..."
I struggled to reply to him but then realized that Andy only stated that he can't tell Lee but not Mervin.
The pressure instantly vanished as I begin to tell him everything I knew.
"What did he do on the internet?"
"That... I have yet found out but I should be able to know it once I open the computer."
"Go and search what he did, now!"
Scary~~
I was intended to do it anyway... no need to glare at me like that.
This big brother of his, why is he so different from Andy in terms of personality.
Andy is a kind and polite boy while this boy is scary and fierce.
I went and do what I was told.
Since the CPU was already on, I only turned on the monitor.
The first thing I saw was a webpage called Newgrounds, I looked around the page and found out it was a place to play games.
So this is the rumored, website games.
This piqued my interest as I only played Warcraft III and Counter-Strike at my internet cafe.
I have never played other games because they don't look very fun.
Maybe I could give this a try.
Let's try to look at the most popular games.
At this moment, I have already forgotten about my primary objective.
The number one ranked game looks very interesting, it was called Hero.
I clicked on it and wait for it to load.
With my slow internet connection, it took a while before it finally finishes the loading.
Upon the game finished its loading.
It started its storytelling.
[The world was in chaos...]
[Dark creatures called demons suddenly appeared from portals]
[As they stepped into the world, they started slaughtering every human they meet]
[Mankind tried to fight back but the demons were too strong]
[Years passed and they're on the verge of extinction]
[Only a few survived in this disastrous world]
[One day, Inside of a holy temple]
[A holy maiden was performing forbidden summoning magic which she acquired from a labyrinth]
[The holy maiden need to sacrifice her body in this summoning but if it's to save the world she would do it]
[The summoning was succeeded, a powerful-looking youth was summoned but the maiden was gone]
[Before she perished she left a letter]
[You are Hero!]
[Hero that will save the world from demons!]
[Go forth my Hero!]
Wow!
Was every website game this badass-looking?
Even though things are in 2D they're decent and the art style is something he has never seen before.
More than that, the story was interesting too!
If every website game was as badass as this game, I should probably try more website games from now on.
After the storytelling was finally over, it's time to play the game.
I hope that the art style was as good as the gameplay.
I mean, this was the most popular game so it shouldn't be that bad.
[Click at the demon to attack]
...
[Use your skill, Berserk Mode to deal 200% damage every click for ten seconds]
...
[Hire Raymond, The Warrior]
...
[You encountered a powerful demon! Slay him to get an artifact!]
...
This is just me clicking and upgrading things repeatedly right?
It supposed to be boring.
But why?
I can't stop playing this game at all! It's too addicting!
I need to hire a stronger character! Just 1 million gold more and I'll have an easy time beating the next boss demon.
Argh, why I can't still beat the boss?
Do I really need to restart everything?
I finally unlocked the last character but yet no matter what I still can't win against area 100th area's boss! Are you kidding me?
Then I'll just redo! humph!
You'll see how easy I pass the first area with my artifacts!
It's fine to redo because I can also earn more artifacts!
With more artifacts means that my characters grow stronger!
Right... Just a little bit I can beat the 100th area boss.
A little bit more...
While Old Man was playing Hero, Mervin was patiently watching at the back.
At first, he thought that he was being to rude to the owner and wanted to apologize. He was thinking numerous ways to apologize to the Old Man and finally prepared himself.
When time passed, Mervin was getting pissed, he changed his mind.
That Old Man was playing games the thing he hated the most.
"Oi, Old Man, I thought I told you to search for what my brother did, and not play games right?"
"Ugh... just a little bit more."
"..."
Seeing the sharp glare, it made Old Man immediately stopped what he doing.
"Alright, Alright, I'll try and check something."
[Welcome, LEE123]
[Notifications (999!)]
Whoa, this must be Andy's account but why there are so many notifications.
[XXX left a comment "Wow, this game is addictive!!"]
[XXX left a comment "I can't stop playing! HELP!"]
Wait, what?
I felt that it's definitely not a coincidence. To confirm my suspicion, I checked the game I played just now.
Just in case...

After being caught in the crossfire, a young man named Sura died among the endless corpses. However, he inherited the Curse, and the Curse did not allow him to rest. When Titus conquered the Seven Kingdoms, he was still there. When mages became the new prophets, he was still there. Centuries later, the lich had faded into the unknown as the aide of Fia, the bastard mage and the only descendant of Titus. A dead man did not have anything to protect, so what did he fight for? For the game was not over, and it was still his to lose.
