KOUSUKE
"The golden gate! This is what I saw last night," I muttered under my breath and I can feel my pulse. My heart beat keeps on beating. It was beautiful, it was breath taking.
The gate opened by itself and golden confetti welcomed me. Angels in gold blow up their horn. Even though I am not driving my car and the engines was off, it moved by itself letting me in.
"Whooo," I breathed still can't believe I am now opening the first vault and this is now being televised.
"Congratulations. Friday. You passed the first level of the game. Conquering your fear is the most bravest thing that a person can deal and can have. From the start, I know it's you. Come and open your first vault." A deep voice announced and suddenly vanished.
I read the instruction that was slowly carved in the stone near the vault. It was like a bio-metric, I will put my right hand to the vault and my finger prints will be molded. The vault slowly open and it was a scroll.

OLYMPUS ARENA
After I put the scroll into my hidden folder, I decided to have a duplicate of it. An exact duplicate and different data. I just feel that I should do it. That night I perfectly made my own black files. It wasn't permanent but I'll make a way to it. After I got the scroll I was instantly pulled back into the base. I was thankful enough that it was just a quick whip for me to hid the scroll.
And now this is now happening, calling for celebration.
I look at the screen of my contact lenses VR, I still didn't take it off. Still only one vote on my screen. How lucky are you to have a cash prize, bro. Thank you for believing in me.
"Wow! Let us all congratulate Kousuke Hayate! Give him a game of applause Olympians!" Vice President Sebastian announced and the crowd went wild. I was the people's choice yet I only got one vote.
"Hey, kid, anything to say?" he added and from the look of his eyes it was like telling me to 'speak up'.
"Thank you Vice and thank you Olympians. I was an honor for me, until the next level of the game," I simply said and they all screamed and applause. Some stayed quite at the corner and rolled their eyes.
I looked at my right direction and saw Ryuzaki with a smile in his face and Storm whit a grim face.
"And for this, this call us for celebration Olympians! Beers and meat are on us, so the meal for today is free. Eat all you can people!" He announced and give me a pat signaling me to leave already and I instantly obeyed.
As I make my way to the back of the arena I bumped into someone.
"Careful next time," he said and left.
I didn't had the chance to see who it was because of the busy staffs.
***
I peacefully walk into my room and entered. It was weird because I was expecting Ryuzaki to confront me but I guess he's busy. I was hoping if he just don't bother me anymore. I took my contact lenses out and put it on the liquid shell and put my own bought lenses.
I close the curtain and locked the door. I installed a wall proof using the one that I have bought from the Harry Potter stuffs store. Seriously the items there are cheap and usable. Your money will not go to waste. I wonder why other players are not into those stuffs. And customers there are few.
I opened the file where I hid the scroll.
"Morse code," I breath as I look at it. I took a glance of it from the right for I could something shiny and I was not wrong. It was a glossy font. I took my blue torch and light it up.
'SAVE'
That was the word written on it but less of that was the Morse code that was written in a less capacity. The length was six hundred to eight hundred pixels of image of scroll and the Morse code was written in twelve size of font base on the calculation I see using the measurement of my lenses. The sad part was I didn't installed a Morse code reader. So I guess I have to keep this in my file 'till I install one. I hid back the file and also turned off the wall proof.
I still can't forget what three finger say before they disappear. They saw me? Maybe what they saw is my past. I shrugged it off and took a deep a breath.
I wonder what will be the next challenge game. I thought as I took a slump on my bed.
Right being the one who opened the first vault I have the advantage of seeing the next challenge. I quickly stand and get my own VR contact lenses and put it on.
I was successfully logged in and I instantly look for the next challenge.
Honour Rise, the next game will be a war-zone game. Honour Rise was established by the year of 2029 and now it was the most top hit game for all of the gamers. I tap the introduction of the game for the visitors.
HONOUR RISE
WARZONE
PLAY
Warzone has number of games modes, here's what they are;
NOTE:
Whether your game score and points are high by stepping into this next challenge you are completely aware that all of your points will be gone. Better buy your own items before logging and subscribing into this next game.
You will be greeted with the Play menu after selecting the Warzone option in-game.
This default menu is where you can dive into a Warzone match. Over time, you'll also see additional modes giving players more ways to experience Warzone. The launch modes are introduced below.
Battle Round
This is the Battle Round Warzone mode available at launch, full fire-squads of four operators group up and tackle up to forty nine full quadro across the massive environment of Syria. Playing in four can allow you more time to loot and explore in partner. In this game also if you are against of having a partner is okay as long as you can keep up with your own.
Bandits
Here is the real thing for the other players who wants cash and cash means to be deposited right away into your bank account.
A distinctly different mode of play is Bandits, where the objective is to collect and deposit a certain amount of cash directly into your bank account while battling against the other teams across Syria. Get as much cash as you can and get the win. The more cash you have the more game score will be accredited to you. Certainly, there's tactical benefits for taking down enemy players that are posing a threat to your well-being, but a primary overriding goal is to have money. Every cash that you earn will have a tax of at least thirteen percent and that is fixed.
This game is for true mercenaries that want to drop into Syria, gather in-game cash via scavenging or task completions. And expect in this game they are no rules unless you are seen cheating but it's up to you on how to cover your strategies.
But more importantly is the second vault.
This game is hands-on. Each player will be given a new gear with a perfect motion of the body because you will be needing it when you enter the game. You will also be given a new contact lenses or VR headset according to your will.
Naturally, in the game you can get your hands on a few different grenades, plus some gadgets you'll need to place down like mines. The rocket launchers will take up a weapon slot, leaving equipment totally free for you to customize without having to save a spot for it. You can do what you want.
Here are the sample lethal equipment:
M66 greande or baseball grenade: It also poisons the opponents if they ever smell the smoke.
Anti-tank 74 or Harlequin's Gum: is a type of lethal grenade containing C4 that sticks to the first surface it touches, including other players, before exploding.
Molly Tequila: Explode on impact setting a large area on fire temporarily.
Dagger Rain: For a perfect combo you can equip dagger rain for ten seconds.
Claymore: Proximity-activated explosive mine.
Suprise C4: Pressure-triggered explosive that deals heavy damage to vehicles and especially tanks.
C4: Large explosive that sticks to surfaces. It is perfect for killing a level three lord.
Fireflies: Burns fiercely for a short while impact. If you are planning to locate bombs or C4, fireflies are the perfect package for it. Not only it can stick to the surfaces but also into your opponents. But be careful it might stick to you.
10 seconds grenade: It play backs the victim's movement for ten seconds. It's a bit pricey.
Fog grenade: Deploys a smoke screen that blocks visions and automated systems.
Flash grenade: Blinds and deafens target.
Stir: Military stimulant that cauterizes combat wounds.
Decoy: This is the cheap price among all but can fool every victims. A grenade that only releases smoke.
And many more surprises...
After I read all of the tutorials since I didn't quite yet explored and played this game, I researched and downloaded some videos. I took a deep breath and look at the ceiling.
"That's it!" I suddenly exclaimed as I quite remember the abandoned portal. I can have more time to escape. To the portal and to my cubicle. But first I have to go to the portal. I needed to know something.
I glance at the time and it's past noon. People are quite celebrating their feast and I think the other players too. So I think this is the best time to sneak out. One and a half hour of being gone might be okay.
I tap my items and pulled out the teleportation. I only have four left but these will not go to waste.

ABANDONED PORTAL
After I landed even though I am not used of the dizziness of it, I immediately immersed myself out of the GPS system.
"Okay, so better be this day not go to waste," I muttered as I fully entered into the portal.
I've decided to go to the vault system that was now unlock. Vault means private and private means secret. I wonder why it still here. I quickly look for anything particular to the game.
After fifteen minutes of searching my eyes landed into a blue rectangular envelope. I took it like my body was hypnotized to move. I took a sit and opened the folder. It was thin unlike the other folders.
My eyes went wide when I saw my last name.
'THE FORMULATOR OF GOD GAME HAYATE'
