101 Avatars
45. Between Judith and Kaiser

As soon as I turned 6, I followed Kaiser to Indonesia.  There, we lived in the former one of Grandpa's houses in Jakarta.

Unexpectedly, once I found Kaiser's sister there, her expression seemed to have improved compared to the last time I remembered her where she was always gloomy considering the deaths of Grandpa and Father and Mother.  However, now Kaiser has laughed a lot and sometimes smiles himself.  Apparently, all that thanks here, he knew the figure of Andina Roselia.

Initially, Kaiser's sister approached Andina to gain access to the former Father and Mother's lecturer whom they sent a letter just before their death in which Kaiser suspected Kaiser of the contents of the letter, it has to do with the deaths of Mom and Dad.

The former lecturer and supervisor of thesis and thesis of Father and Mother is none other than Prof. Indro Nuryono who has a direct student who also acts as his assistant, Professor Melisa, who is none other than Kak Andina's biological mother.

But as time went on, the seeds of love really sprouted between my sister and Andina.  I was also happy because of that because I no longer saw the expression of suffering my brother Kaiser.  Well, even though I can't deny that I'm a little jealous because Andina's sister is more often with me than I am.

However, Brother Andina is a good person.  He always accompanied me to play when I went home.  He truly loves me like his own brother.  He is also a genius, the same as my brother Kaiser.  In fact, they both jumped from grade 1 to grade 3 Junior High because of their genius.  Unfortunately, once they were offered to skip classes in High School, they refused on the grounds of wanting to enjoy the good times of High School together for longer.

I also always feel not lonely because the robot given Kak Kaiser feels alive and always entertains me when I am lonely.  At least, it lasted until a year later since I came to this town.

All of them started from the emergence of the first virtual reality game in the world, Hero of Hope Game aka Hoho game.

One day, for the sake of equating the hobby with Brother Andina, my brother finally started playing the Hoho game.  I also to get closer to my brother, choose to start trying games that are loved by all ages.

I who did not care about strength, winning or losing in the game, ended up just choosing the guts of which avatar I wanted to raise.  Since it was that avatar who looked more cute compared to the others, so I chose Avatar Arjuna.

But even mysterious things happen.  Ever since I played the Hoho game, Kak Kaiser's robot has felt different.

Of course, about the robot that impressed life must be just my delusion because it is impossible for inanimate objects to speak and hear.  It's just, everything feels different.  That robot that Kaiser's sister gave me no more warmth.

However, it doesn't matter anymore, because now Kak Kaiser is by my side.  At least, that's what I thought until the night of the Hoho game disaster arrived.

Kak Andina's life was also taken away in the tragic incident when that night, she dated Kaiser.  Although I regret what happened to Brother Andina, at least I am grateful that my only sister is fine.

However, ever since that disastrous night, my brother has lost his warmth.  He is too focused on the past grudges and until this moment has not been able to let go of Kak Andina.

Frankly, I would love to comfort my brother in his downtrodden times.  However, no matter how many times I spoke to her, she just smiled at me with her blank eyes.  All he had in mind, was to become a Red Blood Hero to avenge Brother Andina's death.

His life is empty and he no longer seems to have any interest in the world.  If left like this, one day, I'm afraid my brother will also follow Brother Andina.

Then I read a best seller book on effective ways to eliminate the trauma of someone who has lost his life expectancy.  The most effective way is to attract their emotions.  His emotions must be expelled so that his feelings are relieved and can start a new life.

I applied those methods, but no matter how harsh I said to Kaiser, his emotions never overflowed.  I miss the figure of my brother Kaiser before the death of Brother Andina.  After Kaiser finally regained his happiness after being separated from the death of Grandfather and Father and Mother, Kaiser had to face the same trauma again because of Kak Andina's death.

On Saturday, December 15, 2057, we started an investigation with Kaiser and I overseeing Mr. Bosman, while Kak Syifa and Ms. Melisa were watching Ms. Jeni.  AI5203 acts as a support to monitor the situation around us as well as intermediary for our communications.

In accordance with the results of his routine investigation, Mr. Bosman left the location of his house at exactly 8.  He arrived at his golf club at about 8:40 and stayed there all day until the afternoon.  At the same time, in accordance with his old habits, he visited the cafe located in his favorite cafe.  At about 9pm, he returned to his home.  None of his actions are suspicious.

We also watched him all day long, but still no suspicious signs.  Until that Monday.  Coincidentally, the next morning I was on schedule to keep an eye on Mr. Bosman.  At that moment, he headed to his secret factory which was unknown to anyone.  Who would have thought that he would be intercepted by one of the avatars there.

The figure of the avatar that I had just seen in the real world, but was an avatar who was no stranger to me.  Because he's Kak Kaiser's avatar in the Hoho game, Avatar Healer.

I see, the Avatar Healer attacked Mr. Bosman.  For a moment, I was at a loss as to whether I should go there and protect her from that avatar monster or whether I should wait here to continue watching her.

But I think it's strange that Mr. Bosman was intercepted by Healer if he didn't have any connection with him.  If so, it was likely that he was also indeed an avatar monster.  If it was Kaiser, what would he do?  Right, I need to contact Kaiser sister to decide.

In the end, the call was connected and I was connected to Kaiser.  I also briefly informed the situation that occurred about the sudden appearance of a high-ranking avatar, the Avatar Healer, that was the one who attacked Mr. Bosman.  And Kaiser replied, too,

“Stay in position until I get there, Adrian.”

However, if left this way, Mr. Bosman would have been injured and even killed at the hands of Healer had we been wrong that he was also an avatar monster.  Although the opportunity is very small, but there is still a chance that he is an ordinary human being.  If he was indeed an avatar monster, why until now, he had not changed and only continued to dodge the attacks of Healer.

Finally, I decided to go there, ignoring Kaiser's advice.  At least one life I can save.  As soon as the attack of the leaves that were bigger than before arrived, I swiftly ran there and parried it with my Crusader.

But nevertheless, the,

“Praaaak.”

“Aaaaakh!”

The monster immediately threw me with threads of roots into the corner until I was injured by the impact of the wall.

But for a moment,

“Baaaam!”

The mini-sized missile suddenly landed right on the spot where I was previously on foot.  I was lucky that the attacks of the two avatar monsters were out of sync.  A little wrong, I must have died in that place.  And I see well in front of me, Mr. Bosman has been in the form of Mecha.
