The deep and dark truth lies ahead, sen shiver uncontrollably underneath the cloak of darkness. Deeper and deeper he goes down, an innumerable stair and the weaken violet light, he knew, Sen knew that what he will see can, no.. Will Effect him. From birth he was apathy and cold, he suffer from tunnel vision, and didn’t know the hidden part of people, until it unveils itself closely to him at his domain.

But now, it is coming to him directly, pouncing and eating him entirely. He feel more cold and desolate the further he goes, no longer carefree or free as he once was. The stair goes unending down deeper, unknown the time will fate arrive, Sen brain suffer again from tunnel vision. He have the power to avoid it, to destroy it, but fear make him forgot that he is no longer a weak passing background character.

Finally the light changes to red, but the moans of pleasure grew more distinct and vivid, no longer whispering underneath Sen ears, it now speak to him directly face to face. The merchant open the last barrier against him and them, a barrier that weakly defend the pandora box that Sen is about to see.

The merchant goes inside, still broking the view but Sen follow soon after, eyes tightly shut and close.

” Hello sir, here is the product you ask for. ”, the merchant said. At that moment in Sen ear, it seem like a devil speaking to him. To make him open his eyes and stare at the abyss, to consume Sen soul and turn him into one of them, a monster.

However, Sen open his eyes, fear tightly groping him and he see. He see..

A television broadcasting an XXX scene.

Sen stare wide eye at it and then point at it and ask the merchant, ” What is that? ”, Sen obviously knows what it was, but he couldn’t help but ask.

The merchant look at where Sen pointed and grew warily. ” Sir, I found this version hornyMagi in a ruin and it is a priceless artifact, I am sorry but I won’t be trading that material to you. It is because it is not bound by price and mark the true manhood for any male chancing upon it. It up the ability to conquer every women in the world… In bed. ”, the merchant replied, proudest in his voice.

” I mean the thing that is showing the horn.. Whatever it is, what is it called?”, Sen question the merchant again.

The merchant give a strange look to Sen and replied, ” Sir, I don’t know which rock you climb up from but this is a Netshow. The net part of the name come from how it made, many invisible and immortal vibrating string form a net throughout the world and create a place where we can be updated about the many news and disaster happening. Everyone have it, obviously with different clarity depending on the price. ”

Hearing this, Sen concluded that this world television is just like earth and may be make with the same concept as prove by ” An invisible vibrating string. ” The clarity part seems to be talking about the quality of the television like 720HD or 1028HD. I don’t really know but it do seem that way. Finishing the monologue, Sen scan his surrounding and found that there is many television showing da o different scene of xxx, you get what I mean.

” Umm… So is this it? One type of material? ”, Sen prob to see if the merchant got any more product that he may be interested in. Don’t misunderstand, he will still not buy it but it doesn’t say that he can’t take it.

” Sir, we got much Material as you can see here, a collection worthy of a true man! Take your pick slowly, you have time. ”, this time the merchant said while smiling.

Hearing that, Sen now truly understand what ”MATERIAL” means, but of course, he still feels bad, falling for such a trick made by the world. He should have known that television exists from the moment when he heard that his room have a telematic phone or whatever it called, didn’t really pay attention to it. But he should have known, now he regret not paying attention to it.

Looking at the merchant who still smile brightly, Sen feels anger. The merchant was 1.8 meter tall with a look of Persian male to him, but right now Sen doesn’t care about that, he feel duped. Why have I come here? To prank him of course and now what? He got unintentionally prank by him. He knew that he shouldn’t be mad, but the bottle up of fear and despair he felt when going down to the deep darkness said otherwise, that he is angry and revenge will come!

Opening his mouth, Sen said, ” What is this Trash? I COME HERE FOR A BETTER MATERIAL, BUT IS THIS ALL YOU CAN GIVE ME? THAT HORN OR WHATEVER IT IS DOESN’T EVEN COME TO MY STANDARD. WHY DON’T YOU SELL TO DIRT INSTEAD!!! ”, huffing and puffing from shouting, Sen continued.

” I am not TRADING And I don’t recommend others too! You are a fake man, go cry in a CoRNER or something. ” knowing that he have said too much out of anger, Sen realizes what he had just said, and try to redeem the situation by giving the merchant the jet shoes and then said, ” You can have it for free, I am going. ”

With that said, Sen quickly left knowing that the next day after he would be blacklisted by the store. But he doesn’t care, he continued to walk. ’ What done is done, I sow enough enmity for today. ’, thought sen in his mind.

The merchant just stay there rooted in his spot, with a dumbfounded expression in his face. The Jet shoes lays clumsily by his side.

The merchant pick up the shoes, looking at it with a profound meaning in his eyes, he walk onto a near by table and open the drawer. In the drawer located a neat empty glass box.

The merchant open the box and put the shoes in it. Silence past in his room, he look up and whisper.

What he whisper was, ” Thank you boy, I, crane will make it to the top. ”

With a newly lit passion in his eyes, crane swore to himself to improve, to not fail Sen expectation in him and become the King Of Merchant. Crane the Persian guy start his journey to the top and this time he will never give up!

To be continued.
