Blue skies stretched out over skyscrapers, white clouds like cotton floated up the sky with the sun shining brightly above the sky. The world has undergone so many developments, the existence of other creatures such as mythology and gods is considered as something made of the imagination of the ancients, still, there are those who believe that they really exist.
But thanks to these amazing stories many new things are born because of them. Starting from movies, books and even games that raise themes and inspiration from the mythology of various parts of the world have been made everywhere. Create a new era where mythological stories are no longer believed but remembered and enjoyed as something left by their predecessors in the current generation, a story that is not only amazing but also inspiring and entertaining.
And now the two lovers of mythology are facing each other in a cafe while discussing about virtual reality games that are popular lately.
"Ukh. shit why the god who supported me gave me a very difficult task anyway... Damned you Loki.." a young man in a white jacket seemed to complain while covering his face.
"It's your fault to choose Hard mode, already know The Tower is a difficult game from the beginning" said a man in a blue suit with a white tie. He looked at the young man in front of him with a flat look.
"That's the appeal!" The young man got up and began to say the reason he could not escape the routine of playing the game "do you know what it's like when we make it through every challenge given by someone who taunts us throughout the game?! It feels like I managed to deliver a crushing blow to the face of the person I hate"
"Stop saying that you believe the person in the game is a real human, Nikolai"
"You don't understand Senior Abdi! Aren't you interested in playing this too, right?" Nikolai interjected and he looked sparkling at the senior. "I know you get three endorsements at once, you know your ranking goes up every Sunday. You said you weren't interested but actually you played that game every day!" Abdi then fell silent, he could not argue.
"Oh what kind of a fuss is this? Two of the heads of the large guild The Tower was meeting apparently yes" a woman's voice rang out and from behind. The woman was blond and her eyes were green, she appeared to be wearing an office suit and also carrying a white cell phone.
"Ah you... Miss Kinan of the Lotus guild? Why are you here?" Abdi stood up and he then joined hands with the woman he knew as his partner in the office as well as vice-chairman of the large guild in The Tower.
"Sorry did I bother you? I only had an appointment with someone" Kinan glanced at a table where a blue-haired man with green gradations, he seemed to be wearing glasses and seemed focused on staring at his own phone. "Ah I guessed... Mr. Samuel always looks beautiful every day, if his hair is a little longer" Kinan said a little blushed and it made Nikolai and Abdi speechless.
"So I want to lamar-"
"OK stop! Sometimes I wonder why the demon king of Greed is your supporter" Nikolai said with a smile by Kinan.
"Isn't it clear? Because I'm talented in my field. I'm sure if we really met him he would want me to be his partner" Kinan looked proud of his talent.
"Didn't the demon king of greed have one more player he supported... What's his name... Kanz?" Sela Abdi recalled one of the famous solo players in the tower game without realizing that the person yes she was talking about was secretly staring at her from another cafe table and by sitting down with a blond man.
"Oh this is amazing a lot of people we know ya here~" Nanaru slightly raised his hat and then glanced at Kanz. "So how? I'm surprised a player like you can meet me so soon. Did you get a lead from someone?" Nanaru smiled and guessed what Mammon was doing by contacting Kanz to look for Nanaru.
"To be honest I'm also surprised a big developer like you would meet me just for the transaction of a game item that you made - ah or not you made it..." Kanz looked at Nanaru with a suspicious look. "You better tell me the truth, master developer. The Tower's not really a game, is it?"
A mysterious smile formed on Nanaru's face and he did not answer it, making Kanz even more curious and annoyed at seeing Nanaru's seemingly causing smile.
The sound of broken glass was heard from another table and there a black-haired man in a black suit and a red tie attached to his neck was seen accidentally dropping his lemon drink in front of a girl. "Geez, I'm sorry miss are you hurt?" The girl in front of him was Arin who came along with Dian while the figure who dropped his drink was Fobetor.
The eyes of Fobetor and Arin meet but vaguely Arin seems to see another figure from Fobetor. Fobetor was then glued to the red rose that had been carried by Arin and now fell near the broken Fobetor drink glass, making the flowers and ribbons on its stem wet "would you like to give this flower to someone? Geez forgive me" Fobetor took the flower.
"Ah isn't something that matters, it's just the flowers I pick from the garden I care for. I was gonna give it to my sister at the hospital"
Fobetor rounded his eyes and he seemed interested "really? Your brother is sick? He would be happy to get this flower. Too bad..."
"Not my sister... Been in a coma for 5 years.."
"Ah sorry. Did I make Miss sad?"
"It's okay, you're not the first person to hear this from me." Fobetor could see a smile on Arin's face but not on the face of the transparent figure behind Arin's body. Behind Arin, Novan who came to the world of reality with an astral figure can only be glued still, no one can see it except Fobetor and Nanaru who are in that place. "I just hope my sister wakes up soon..." Arin's remarks made Novan even more silent.
Novan's hand was about to stroke the head of the girl who had grown into a teenager lovingly, but then he realized that their world had been different. Novan can no longer come back, he has no chance.
His dream to return is now just a dream.
Novan now sighed and smiled, his red eyes staring at Fobetor as if asking Fobetor to calm Arin down. Fobetor smiled before seeing Novan go out of the cafe.
Novan flew through the world of reality, he was so amazed by what humans had achieved. His wings finally stopped just as he decided to walk into a hospital building, first he looked towards his sleeping body. "It's weird, when I'm sure I can't go back but why is my real body still asleep..." The question came to his mind but he could not get the answer.
His feet continued to step and surprisingly he then hit someone.
"Ah sorry!" Novan spontaneously apologized but later realized something was wrong. He should not be able to come into contact with humans, but the incident that just happened made him shocked.
"Ah no, I should be the one apologizing. You okay?" Even now the human in front of him could see himself.
And that's the beginning of a new story from a different point of view.
