The beginning

In a small office at a small building, a group of people were working.

The sounds of people mumbling and shouting mixed with the noises of keyboard keys being pressed by the workers in a speedy haste created a serious and suffocating atmosphere in the office.

Suddenly a man came and shouted," the Royal Panther had died!"

The serious and suffocating atmosphere seemed to disappear.

All people turned their heads to look at the direction of the man that had spoken. The man nearly hid himself due to the stares of the workers. They were asking him to continue or get out from their eyes.

"And what does the death of the Royal Panther has to do with us? Will us make our workload decrease? It doesn't, so get onto your work and if a single more utter was heard by the boss then you would lose your pay. All of you get to work now! And you, living things live so that they can die, their whole purpose in life is death! so don't dwindled on unnecessary stuff and do your work. We already have thrice the workload with the deadline nearing us anytime and this one is more serious than some panther being dead. Understood!" Ved reprimanded the man that came to deliver the unnecessary news.

The man nearly forgot to breathe. It was his first week in the office and he got this job with a lot of rejections from the others.

Adding to the fact that the man reprimanding him was his senior at work, Ved.

"Yes Sir!"

"Good, now give me the information about the final Legendaries of the new game, we need to send their story frames and other data to the programming department by tomorrow." Ved asked his junior in training.

"Mr Ved, the FedEx guy is waiting for you. It is about the parcel." Some random guard shouted to Ved.

"This is an office, don't shout! and you prepare the data and send it to my PC, I will check it in few minutes." Ved shouted to the guard ignoring the fact that his shout was louder than the voice of the guard.

"Ok-okk Sir." The junior replied, not getting used to the stern nature of the man in front of him.

Ved went to talk with the FedEx deliveryman.

5 minutes later.

Ved came to his small cubicle and looked at the game data that he needed to check. His junior's cubicle was just behind him.

Ved looked at the data of the legendaries.

"Add one more quest to the Miracle of Gaia, it is a legendary and the only way to increase stats in the first part of the game. Let's add the quest called the Feather of time, the official description could be stated that the power Miracle of Gaia is so vast that it needs a catalyst to be a absorbed, without the Catalyst, the player needs to waste ten days doing nothing. And make sure that the quests doesn't get completed before 12 days and also keep the 10 day fact a secret from the public." Ved started to type his thoughts on his PC so that he could remember them later.

"But Sir, won't the general gamers be mad about it if they get to know about this?" The junior asked.

"Listen, gamers are our money bags and we have to take everything from them. And there is just a single Miracle of Gaia in the first part of the game, so even if hundreds of people are doing the same quest, just a single player will get it. Now onto the next mythical."

Ved told the normal stuff that happens in the gaming industry to his junior.

"Why does the armour of the ancient Rhino🦏 Ranger looks the same as Genji from overclock?"

"Ohh, Sir, well~ the boss said that we will put some changes here and there and it will not look like Genji after that and we really needed a legendary item for the Ranger and knight classes." The junior replied.

"The Twin swords of Justice are made up of Taydenite? And it can be used by the Genji Armour wearer? What is the story behind this?" Ved inquired about the blatant usage of the other franchises.

"Well the Ancient Rhino🦏 Ranger was a knight as well and this was the armour that he made for himself. After that, he fought in the legendary war of the specious and died. His armour and swords were taken by the ancient Rhino Rangers (his team) while later it was given to his son and he formed the Twin swords style of the knight's Faction. That's why the Twin swords." The junior mentioned the half baked incomplete storyline of the game.

"Forget it. Let's get to work, it already 9 pm and we have to finish this by 2 am. After that we can go home." Ved stated the work schedule.

"Sir, I have already packed my bags and also got the permission to leave. Ok bye." The junior quickly ran away after saying that.

"I told you already that the boss hates you. You should have taken her offer to sleep with her, now you are suffering from all this. I would have died to get a chance like that, you know?" Ved's colleague indicated the reason of his overtime with a sigh.

"You also rejected the offer from your department chief. Why didn't you take it?" Ved counterattacked with words.

"He is a male! A big fat male at that! And I am a male as well. I regret getting this sculpted body of mine in the gym. The way the chiefs gaze lurks at my back is disgustingly repulsing. If not for the fact that I have to take care of the education of my sister, I would have slapped him to death." The overly muscular colleague said to Ved.

"Well considering your muscles, you really can. Why don't you seduce the boss, she is a sadist, you have a strong body, go and create a more stronger bond with her, the problem of your sister, the department chief and your future will all be solved. Just take a picture of her forcing upon you and one of her sleeping face and you can reverse blackmail her. Later use your words and actions to win her trust and viola, you are the winner in life."

Ved indicated the easy path to success.

"You really are a criminal for sure. I will try it though but I am not going to take pictures or blackmail, I am going to pregnant her and then use it to marry her by asking her hands from her parents." The overly muscular crafty colleague mumbled.

"I think the blackmail one is better that your idea. But whatever, she had already caused three of our colleagues to suicide due to her playfulness (?), and I am also reaching my endpoint. So are you, if all comes to nothing, let's just return to our previous work."

Ved stated in an unusual icy voice.

"That's like my brother. Ok, then wish me good luck and bye. You still need to do your work." The overly muscular crafty colleague said in a low voice and then started to move.

"What about yours?" Ved asked.

"These muscles aren't for show." The colleague said while pointing at the group of other poor workers who had been forced to do his work.

Ved was speechlessly looking at his so called brother and then went to work. On his cubicle, a small photo with 9 people could be seen.

On his PC, he looked at the work that he needed to do and then smiled.
