After that, I just eat by myself at a restaurant. While I was eating, I was watching on the tv, and All of a sudden, the tv channel glitch and change, and a weird looking creature started talking.
" EdelWeiss Online Is now choosing 600,000 players from all over the world!! "
" For those who are watching this, or playing EdelWeiss Online now, you can be chosen!! "
" What will you do?.... Its simple!!!, once you are chosen, all you have to do is follow the systems quest, and to know If you are a chosen one, your potential will be marked as [ Unknown ] "
" There's a price each time you die, and a prize each time you complete a quest "
" And of course, for those old players In the game, May join as well.... "
" Now, let's say, you completed all of the quest in the game, there will also be a reward, and, what will be the reward?. "
The weird creature suddenly smirk.
" ANYTHING THAT YOU WISH FOR, WILL BE GRANTED!!!!!. "
" That's all~ thank you, mwuah~ mwuah~ "
The tv suddenly switch off after that, and some people in the restaurant goes outside to buy the cd disc of the game, hoping that, They will be the chosen one. I just leave, and goes back to my apartment to take a rest. While walking into my apartment, I saw my sister's apartment and headed to her room instead, and knocked on her door. A several knock later, she still didn't open the door. Shinzu then said to his mind.
" What if she is fingering herself or playing with some toys. "
" Shit!, what was i thinking, that was so sick as fuck. "
" I need to find out what she is doing, I know my sister can't ignore me without a reason "

I tried to open her room using a paperclip that night, while saying to my mind With a shitty face.
" Oh Shit, faster!!!, please open, they might see me as a thief "
The door suddenly opened.
" Hell yeah!!!!. "
Once I entered to her room, I close the door, and saw her room neat and clean, and her room has a pleasant smell, And her ceiling light was open, and it was very quiet, I checked her bedroom, and she was not there, And I saw her computer opened while charging, and checked her status bar.

I was shocked, when i saw her potential was marked as [ Unknown ] and said to my mind.
" No fucking Way! She's one of the chosen players. "
Shinzu then started thinking deeply into his mind.
" If so, how many quest does a chosen one need to finish, before they come back to the real world? "
After that, I found her spare keys, and keep it, and locked her room safely. And headed back to my apartment room, and did my research on my computer, about the new update at the game, and i did find out that, many players couldn't come back after finishing a quest. They usually ask if they wanted to go back to the real world, after finishing a quest, But at this case, a chosen player can't go back unless they finish all of The quest, that were given by the system.
Shinzu still have the old cd disc version of the game, and he was worried about her older sister and the players that were chosen in the game, Shinzu then said to his mind while laying down and holding the cd disc.
" Is this the reason to go back?, to save my sister, and the people that were chosen? "
" Being treated as a trash?, and getting betrayed again?. "
" If I play this game again, the wish that I'm gonna make, Will be.." Deleting the system itself. "
" So that this game wouldn't go back again. "
After saying those word into my mind, I quickly insert the cd disc into my computer, and said to myself.
" I'm back "
" To destroy the system. "

The Core: The First Guest (Book 1 of 3)
Book two starts here: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/46417/the-core-the-hive-daughter-book-2-of-3 --- Kevin was just a normal 10 year old kid until he saw a woman vanish right before his eyes. This made Kevin just a little bit different. He paid more attention to people now. Little did he know that this little difference would kill him the next time he encountered another alien about to return home. It would tear him apart, cell by cell, until he was unmade. His mind being transported away. So distantly far away there is a race that advanced to the point where they built dyson spheres to house their civilizations. In their continual expansion, they seeded galaxies with pods and connection satellites. Over time they upgraded their dyson spheres into matryoshka brain Cores. Imagine a computer powered by a star. Citizens of Cores no longer age once they upload their minds into the virtual living system of the Core. While they didn’t age, most still choose to cycle through life and death though at a different scale of time compared to our lives. Citizens can visit other planets and live there as if they were on a "vacation". Mercury is Earth’s hub connected to the closest Core and Earth is a remote vacation spot for wealthy citizens. When the main character was 10 he witnessed a citizen returning to the Core. The story continues 10 odd years later when he again witnesses a similar situation unfolding and manages to touch the person returning to the Core. This causes him to be swept up in the transfer as well and for his mind to join as a "Guest" user of the Core. As a Guest he has limited powers, a starting balance of zero cr or Citizen credits, and no idea how he can get home. He is the first human to ever become a Guest of a Core. Where money itself is the highest form of their science. --- Progress update: Progress update: COMPLETE Stories:✦The Core: The First Guest (The Core: Book 1 of 3) ✦The Core: The Hive Daughter (The Core: Book 2 of 3) The Core: The Hive Daughter (Book 2 of 3) | Royal Road Stories in PROGRESS:✦The Core: The Dark Enemy (The Core: Book 3 of 3)PROJECTED Stories and Series: ★The Radiative Zone Series: The Girl with Powers (3 book series) ✶The Convective Zone Series: Into the Game (3 book series) This series is a work in progress.
