"Sir, wake up. Sir, wake up" a lady in a formal black suit repeatedly calls out to a fat man snoring in bed but to no avail the fat man remains snoring.

She clenched her small fist tightly a vein showed up. She had been trying to wake up the fatty for more than half an hour. As if lights popping in her brain, she gets an idea an reached her phone inside her pocket. Pressing a number on her speed dial, she didn't wait long before the person answered her call.

"Junior Wei, I'm sorry for disturbing but there's a peculiar problem here on my end."

"Huh? Sister Meng what problem? Did the capsule show any strange reaction? Is it a smoke? Shortage of power? Lack of -"

"None of that. It's the owner of the capsule. I-"

"The owner? What could possibly be the problem? The payment have all been paid. Did he ask you to install somewhere outside of his residence? Could it be that he didn't allow the staff to come in? Did an accident occur when he is in the synch proce-"

"No. We break inside and everything is installed perfectly. The capsule is running just fine. Don't cut me off. Actually the problem is that the owner is still sleeping and I couldn't wake him up after 30 minutes of trying. Can you check with Term and Agreement if I can wake him up by splashing cold water on him, slap his face or pinch his nose? I don't want to get sued."

"Uh what? You broke into his house. I'm pretty sure you can get sued for that. Wait let me read the terms and agreement… Found it, there's a mention that in case of denied entry you can force your way in and install the capsule. We won't be responsible for any damage done to the house and items inside. Umm it says use of physical contact is allowed to get the attention of the owner however no injuries should be done on the owner-"

"Got it, thanks Little Wei." The lady hang up the call.

She then picks up a mug from the computer desk and proceeds to the bathroom. After she washed the mug and filled it with cold water, she sprinkled the cold water carefully on the fatty's face.

A couple of cold water sprinkles later, the fat guy woke up from his slumber.

"ugh why is it raining?" he says still sleeping and wiping his face. Seconds later with great shocked he opened his eye and stood straight up.

"Good morning renowned customer, Liu Dang. Apologies for the little rain but I have to wake you up for a while." The lady says with a slight bow.

Staring at disbelief for a while with his mouth open, Liu Dang slaps his chubby little face.

"Ooof it hurts. Not a dream. Definitely not a dream. I don't remember ordering a call girl last night." The fatty says out loud while gently massaging his forehead.

Hearing the fatty referring her as a call girl, a vein immediately popped out and visible at her forehead. Clenching her teeth hard she calmly says " Mr Liu Dang, apologies for not introducing myself properly. I Am Meng Wan, senior customer service staff at Future Tech. I'm he-"

"Future Tech? Damn that lousy scam company is real? Bahaha Senior CS staff? Are there really such a position. Hello Meng Wan, I'm Liu Dang, an expert with seven years of hearing complaints at Medieval Witchcraft. Bahahaha. F*cking Hell this dream is so real. I'm even dreaming about a scam company hahaha."

A couple more veins appeared on her foreheads. Her hands were trembling. 'Deep breath Meng Wan, deep breath. You can't just smack a customer.'

"Mr Liu, as much as I'd like to entertain and play along with your jokes, my schedule is fully packed and time is running out. I assure you that this is not a dream. The installation hav-"

"Bahaha even in dream they are trying to scam me so hard. Time is running out, the product is almost sold out hurry make a purchase now. Hahaha I'm gonna wake up with a smile at least. Damn Future Tech always know how to make my day. Wait did she say installation? What installation? Installments? In a stall-"

Smack!

Meng Wan clapped hard shocking the fatty that he stopped talking.

"Now that I have your attention, kindly look besides your computer." She says while pointing out the out of the world 'thing'.

"This is the capsule which you ordered last night. My team have cleaned up all the junk and piled them up besides your front door. Now the installation is completed would you kindly sign a few documents?"

She picked up a few files from the desk and shoved it in front of the fatty's face. Liu Dang was lost in thought for a while before his eye scanning every inch of his room. Not seeing what he's looking for, he gets up and walked to the capsule, ignoring the documents and the lady holding them.

"What capsule this is clearly a giant egg. Tch I thought it was too real to be a dream." He mumbled as he looked everywhere around the capsule.

"Damn barbarians, invading people's home, taking their item and smashing their pots, do they think they are Link or something. Damn it my Megumin is missing." He frantically lunged towards the pile of trash and in a frenzy dug everything up.

"Aha Megumin chan, this is where you hiding? Aaaaaahhhhhh! Where's you're head? Noooo." The fat guy fell into a state of panic and fear after finding his figurine was headless.

After fifteen minutes of throwing every trash on that pile everywhere he finally found the figurine's head and was so relieved that he prostrated on the ground. Meng Wan however was conflicted on thinking how she should console the fatty. Though annoying and infuriating, the fatty was after all a customer of Future Tech and she was ultimately responsible for this whole tragedy.

'Should I get someone to just glue the head back? Replace with a new doll? How much does this thing cost anyway?'

"…derer." The low voice from the fatty pulled her back to reality.

"What did you say?"

"Murderer! Murderer! You break into my house and beheaded my lovely Megumin Chan!" the fatty screamed in anger.

"uh. Can't you just glue it back or do you want me to buy you a new one?"

"F*ck you! Do you want me to behead your husband and then stitch it back? Do you want me to give you new husband?! What's dead is dead idiot!" the fatty threw the doll's head at her. He then stormed to the bathroom and washed his head to cool down his rage. When he got out he proceeded to sit on his bed. Liu Dong glared at Meng Wan.

"Damn Future Tech. Look at the clock." He pointed at his wall clock."It's six in the morning!"

Meng Wan looked at her watch and it clearly displayed 0910 but she didn't say anything.

The fatty saw her looking at her watch and he opened his smartphone only to realize the time is nine in the morning, he too stayed quiet.

"Whatever, tell me everything about this egg. It cost me 50 thousand. Tch." Liu Dong says frustratedly.

'Huh? Pretty sure everyone paid 100 thousand. How did he pay only half?' Meng Wan shakes her head and answered the fatty's question.

"This is the capsule, it will allow you to be fully immersive in the game of Lumiere. The game is fully free to be explored. There aren't many restrictions in this game. As you are the last that have installed the capsule, the game will be ready to play at 10 in the night until 6 in the morning. The rules may be changed as we are only in beta phase now. You may encounter bugs in this game and be rewarded if you report one. To enter, press this button here on the capsule." What Meng Wan said was all the same information you could read on the Future Tech webpage. The fatty was unusually quiet however, barely listening to any word that she said.

'I paid 50 thousand for this? Sigh. Perhaps I should really go meet my dad.'

"Mr Liu? Are you there? Please get inside the capsule and register first."

The fatty quietly entered the inside of the capsule.

'Huh, the interior is quiet nice, this is so much comfortable than my bed.'

Just as Liu Dong relaxed, a couple beam of lights scanned his entire body displaying numerous amount of data on a the screen in front of him.

"Every vital of your body is constantly monitored, should any medical emergency arise, a team of medic would be dispatched to your location. The alpha testing of this game went without any trouble so you shouldn't be worried." Meng Wan says with confidence.

"Now that you have been registered, please sign a few documents here to confirm that everything was received and installed without any problem." She cheerfully voiced while handing out the papers thinking that everything was done.

"Without problem? See this mess you've made. My house room is filled with trash and perhaps you've forgotten that you killed my Megumin huh?" the fatty didn't sign but instead wrote murderer on the papers. He even taped his doll's severed head to the paper.

"I'm very dissatisfied with your service provided. The lady named Meng Wan broke into my house and do everything as she liked. Your Future Tech service sucks." The fatty said while writing it down on the paper.

Meng Wan was speechless at the fatty's action and she felt that a terrible headache was inevitable for the rest of the day. She reluctantly took the papers and just stormed off the tiny cramped house but before she could walk out of the door, the fatty's voice stopped her.

"Get your people to come and clean my place. It looks like a dump site now, how am I supposed to live here after what you've done?"

Clenching her fist on the door tightly, a creaking sound was heard and she said politely. " Yes Mr Liu, they will arrive shortly. Are there anything else that you need?"

But before the fatty could reply, Meng Wan was already far away from his house. The fatty let out a small chuckle.

"Heh, the doll I got from the 100 yuan gacha finally proved it's worth. I only glued Megumin's head on that doll, the scammer got scammed bahahahaha."
