Genesis: The Lucky Blacksmith
Desperate Asa

Riko slammed her college bag violently. Inside the narrow 3x3 square meter room, Riko immersed herself in her anger and disappointment. This is the seventh year of being a student. Three titles of the thesis he has submitted. But just now the lecturer again rejected the title of the third script. Rejection of the lecturer at that time felt much more painful than the rejection of love.

“Ta*!” the curse continued to swear and say harshly.

If only the guidance lecturer was a little easier to find, Riko could consult more often. That way he didn't need to waste much time revising his script. This is his last year of college. A love letter from campus has been floated on him, reporting that he will be hit by drop out if he does not graduate this school year.

Riko's parents raised their hands. Their firstborn son had already cost too much to study and wander. Now the two choose to focus on financing his sister who is still in the second class of private High School in Jakarta.

Riko felt like she was left alone. Monitor in Yogyakarta with a mediocre allowance. No job and can only wail every time to campus because all his classmates have graduated. He could not even ask for extra monthly money on his father because he was embarrassed. He was twenty-five years old, but he was still unemployed.

Riko had done various part time jobs before. Starting from being a waiter at the cafe, being a distro guard, to a cafe keeper. But all of those activities are just too time consuming Riko. His inability to manage time even made his lecture more ambiguous. Especially since he always got the night shift just because he was a man.

Since getting the Do warning letter earlier this school year, Riko was determined to focus on college and leave all kinds of part-time work. It's only a year to get a college degree. There are times when he wants to give up his dream as a Bachelor of Engineering. But it feels a pity to have spent so much money to study without getting a diploma.

“Bodo is very. Mending did not play,” mumbled annoyed.

The only thing that can take Riko's mind off the frustration is the online game he just played the last year. This is Riko's biggest shortcoming: game addicts. He himself admitted that if he had played games on his phone, he forgot the time. Even so, these activities can indeed slightly improve the mood that is damaged due to problems that continue to come in many years.

Riko finally took her phone from her college bag. While comfortably resting on a thin foam mattress that is outdated, Riko also opened her favorite MMORPG game application: Genesis. Just a few minutes to start the game, suddenly Riko's boarding door opened without being knocked. A beautiful woman with long hair just entered while carrying a plastic package from the superparquet.

“Yang, how come you don't bales chatku? He said he went to college? How did the lecturer say?” greet the woman immediately asked a question.

Riko immediately got up sitting with the wrong behavior. “Sita. How come you do not want to come here,” he said while trying to hide his phone in

“And I had a chat from this afternoon. You also hold hp instead of opening my chat even why, anyway?” sergeant Sita then snatched Riko's phone.

Riko hurriedly brushed off Sita's hand, but the girl moved even faster. The phone in Riko's hand is now in Sita's hand. The girl's expression immediately turned angry. He looked at Riko so annoyed that he let out a tired breath.

“But you will also play this,” kilah Riko origin talk.

Riko's refutation made Sita even more emotional. “That's not the case, Riko! I am tired of you, same as you. You don't have a future. I can still accept if you haven't graduated or haven't worked until now. But you even malesan ngegame mulu!

“I'm tired of waiting for you, Riko. My mother also has your clarity. I've been up in office but you haven't graduated either. Though we are the same age, and I graduated from three years ago while you have absolutely no effort. We broke up,” cecar Sita at length.

As if his misfortune today has not ended, Riko must now return to accept the word broken from Sita, his girlfriend since the last five years. Riko felt like she wanted to explode in anger but she held back. He did not want to vent his emotions that day to Sita.

“I just want to start playing, Sit. This day I was also on campus taking care of the thesis. You also know,” answered Riko trying to stay calm.

“Reason, you, Rik. I was in vain to come here just to worry about you. You don't know which priorities are important and which ones aren't. I can't wait anymore, Riko. For the last three years I have had a lot of knowledge about you. And the result is nil. I do not want to waste any more time,” Sita sergeant while standing up and throwing plastic containing many snacks from the supermarket.

“This I already bought. Hopefully you can start making your life better after this,” said Sita while turning away.

Riko did not budge. He did not try to prevent Sita. Not only was the girl disappointed, Riko also felt a great hatred towards her at this moment. It felt that he was also unworthy to keep Sita by his side. He is just a failed human being. Even so, his heart was still injured. He and Sita have been in a relationship for a long time. Riko has even known Sita since becoming a freshman.

Sita is a gentle and understanding girl. Riko truly loved Sita. Throughout the course of their relationship, Riko always keeps Sita's feelings in check by not approaching other women. He had once felt so lucky to get Sita. But now, he no longer had the confidence to keep the girl with him. He could only snuggle pitifully in the corner of his cramped boarding room.

As Riko was lamenting the situation, suddenly a loud pounding sound was heard from outside his cost, followed by strong tremors similar to an earthquake. Riko immediately stood up in shock. The young man tried to get out of his room and see what was going on out there. How surprised Riko when he saw half of the cost building is now destroyed. Frantic cries and chaos ensued before his eyes.

The cost on the side of the highway shows a truly strange sight. Dozens of green-skinned creatures with long, terrifying canine teeth seemed to fill the streets and chase people. Some of the people who were caught were beaten with a green creature's thorny mace. Riko knew exactly who the figure of the green creature was: Orcs, monsters in the game he was playing, Genesis.

“What the heck .. ,” sigh Riko is still wide in disbelief.
