5.Family

Leo took a few minutes to calm down as felt their auras still lingering on his body and knew that they gave him some gifts but the thing is that he doesn't know what they had given him. He put these thoughts in the back of his mind to figure them out later as he looked around his surroundings as he then saw the Digital Clock showing it was 8 Am.

Then it struck him that today was the day his little brother Ethan And little Sister Erza were coming home for summer break. He went ahead to have a bath as he tidied his bed and then started cooking lunch for them.

Leo's family consists of his little brother Ethan and sister Erza, his father Regulus Kain was a pro league champion 2 Decades back and Mother Maria was just a housewife. But due to an unfortunate event, they had both died 10 years back in a car accident.

Ethan was 11 this year and he has just finished his schooling and Ezra was 9 years and was gonna start the last year of school life. Ethan can soon start his high school life for the next 5 years if he wanted to But Money was a problem.

Leo had help from his best friend jordans father to help him into high school which he had just finished this year. He wanted his brother to study too, but the lack of funds was concerning. He had Secured 25 thousand Eon by gold mining in the last Virtual Reality Game "War of Continents" for 5 years but still more than halfway short of Securing enough for his brother's education.

In this World, although everything is automated and no one has to work. For things like education and Genetic Fluids and Nutrient Fluids and various Special privileges can only be used by the rich and powerful and those with special statuses.

The world distributes its resources using the VR Wars. Every 10 years a new Vr game is introduced and people fight in it for resources and power to win the tournament held once every 2 years. The last Vr game "War of Continents " has just ended. To participate in games people have to get stronger both in real life as well as the game and to do that people need genetic and nutrient fluids and various resources. The Lowest Class F - Nutrient Fluid can be bought as long as u have money but for the higher ones you need status and power and it's even more for genetic fluids.

Leo was still processing his thoughts he knew if he had his enlightenment before 5 yrs he could have used his knowledge and memories to rise in the last Vr game.

He muttered to himself "Gone are the days of being a noob, Even though I'm late ill Shine till your Blind".

It was almost noon as he was lost in thought when he had a call from his friend Jordan " Leo, You up what happened bro I tried calling you yesterday and you didn't pick up."

"Jordan, sorry for that it's just that I had to go for my regular checkup and forgot my phone here."

Leo lied about his knockout for a day as his memories were things he didn't want to reveal to anyone, not even his best friend or family.

"Anyway, Leo have you heard about " Celestial World" it's the new trend and they say lots of new stuff are being implemented this time and it's going to be a new experience."

"It's going to launch on May 5th, It's our stage to shine this time. You know what we can exchange for credits as early as a week after the game launches using the Gold Exchange System. If we explore the early stages and grab something sweet we can use it to pay for your brother's education."

Leo was filled with tears, Jordan was a true brother. Normally at the start of the game, any item that will give them the edge would be able to snowball them to the top of they use it properly and it was at times like that people showed their greedy side. But Jordan willingly gave up this edge for his brother.

"Jordan, Thank you. So have you heard any special releases of information about the game it's classes, cities, and stuff? "

"Don't sweat it, Leo, we're brothers and that's what brothers do. And no not a clue the game company has kept a tight lid on information and said it will only be released the day before the game launches. They haven't even released the trailer for it and only announced that its called " Celestial World"."

"That's some high secrecy right there, we'll nothing we can do about it Jordan. Let's just ready up the capsule and wait for the information."

After Hanging up the phone Leo was contemplating the game and what he could do with his memories to gain an edge in the game.

Soon at Noon his little brother and sister arrived at the doorstep. Although they seem too young, the current society had been modified through a genetic breakthrough that was applied to the whole world a few decades back. And now almost most children have higher intelligence and physique than the past civilization.

Leo was grinning as he hugged Ethan and Erza. He took them inside as they soon enjoyed a belated birthday for Leo and had a sumptuous lunch. Soon Leo made Ezra sleep in her bed as she was tired from the long journey as he took out Ethan to the balcony to talk.

Ethan realized what his brother was going to say so he said "Bro I don't want to study anymore ill just play the game with you. Even though my grades are low this year, I'm better off earning gold with you in the game."

Leo understood that Ethan was just trying to lift off the burden off his shoulders. He even knew that Ethan was a bright child with a way better physique than others among his age. He used to be one of the top scorers in his class for a long time until he started dropping his grades the last year. He found out it was deliberately done by him so that he could give a reason to quit studying.

"Ethan I know what you are trying to do and what you did, but do you trust your brother. I have a way to let you study and for our family to live a prosperous life. "

"So this time ill allow you to play the game but promise me that you will not neglect your studies once I enroll you into a high school."

Ethan was still a little kid by heart and he also had almost blind faith in his brother. Even though he sensed that his brother was kinda strange and not his usual self he trusted what his brother told him. Leo sent Ethan to his room as he went to his room to plan for his rise to the top and his inevitable rematch with that person.
