Arc 3 Chapter 3.1 ( Boundary Between Virtual and Reality )
A young boy looking like at the age of 15 , slowly woke up with drowsy ,cute , monolid eyes with red iris . A confused look surfaced upon his face and looked around the simple room he woke up in to .
He is dressed in plain white pajama with black strips . He has a long sky blue hair that reached his shoulders and he looked androgynous and charming. The boy scratched his head in confusion . " What's my name again? "
The boy put his index fingers and thumb on his lower lips pinching it while trying to remember his name which he seems to have forgotten .
His head was blank and he could not recall any memory related to him . It was totally blank , he felt that something is blocking his mind and he was about to recall his name but he would forget about the clue after a few seconds passed .
The boy touched his fluffy ears and furry tails and pondered why he could not recall any memory . He is not a baby , why doesn't he have a memory?
Suddenly , a transparent rectangular blue light flashed in front of him and it looks kinda fictitious for him . The boy blink and read the text which he seemed to be able to understand and read .
[ Welcome to Mundo De Fantasia , Character 220 . ]
[ You are currently living in a world of the lesser races ruled by the powerful extraterrestrial beings . As a member of the lesser race , you have no authority to restore your memory . ]
[ Please wait for your master to take good care of you. ]
[ While the character waits for his master to take care of him. The system will provide things that can satisfy the basic needs of the character . ]
[ Good luck - Uno ]
The boy stared at the texts and finally learned that this despicable thing called system wiped out his memory without his permission .
He does not have any name and doesn't know how to address himself . The boy hugged his knees and remained silent the whole time . When he finally snapped out of his trance , he decided to roam around the simple room .
The simple room could be called an all in one type of room . There's a door leading to the small bathroom and comfort room . A small closet for his only two sets of pajamas . A small bed , a small refrigerator , a mini electric kitchen and a sink .
He did not check these things and instead went to the door . But unexpectedly , it was locked . He went to the foggy window and tried opening it , but it was also locked . He could not see any signs of keys in his room .
Half an hour passed and he already tried destroying the door but it was so sturdy and unbreakable . Even the glass window couldn't be broken even with a a hammer . Well , let's not think about where the boy found the hammer .
The problem is ... the boy is unable to go outside his room . The boy worriedly bit his tail , knowing that someone locked him inside this small room in captivity . He couldn't help feeling a bit of panick .
The boy decided to sit on the bed with worried and nervous look on his face . Then his stomach suddenly growled in hunger . The boy looked unto the direction of the refrigerator and seeked for any food that could be instantly eaten .
He picked the loaf bread , mayonnaise , a small box of milk and biscuits .
The refrigerator was full of raw food and snacks but he still does not know when would his so called master arrive and take care of him so he have to limit his food intake until the time of his master's arrival .
The boy eats his snack silently and stared at the ceiling in boredom . After he finished his small meal , he decided to rest his mind and body in order to conserve his energy . That way , he wouldn't easily get hungry and drain the stock on the refrigerator .
The red eyes was slowly covered by his lids and fan like lashes . His furry ears drooped down in docileness and fall unto slumber for one year .
The moment he woke up again , he did not realized that a year had already passed . He ate another small meal and decided to sleep again . While he was in a slumber , the boy did not noticed that he was constantly absorbing the mana elements within his surroundings causing him to remain alive despite not eating for a long time .
It could be compared to closed meditation of the chinese cultivation practice . The difference between the two is that the child is asleep meditating while the other is conscious .
The boy was like a vampire in light slumber growing stronger as time passed by .
20 years passed by and the boy still did not grow up . He remained looking like a young man at the age of 15 and did not even grow an inch . It was like the time in his body was stopped , restricting him of his growth . The boy opened his eyes in dullness , his master still have not arrived and he had eaten most of his stock on the refrigerator . What should he do?
The boy frowned in concern for his life and dazed at the room . He couldn't go back to sleep anymore , he is bursting with energy and he doesn't feel like sleeping.
As time passed by , the boy gets irritated . His life was so monotonous and boring .
And he gradually feels lonely . This feeling is so hard and the boy burried his face on his knees in loneliness .
The clock was ticking within his head as he slowly count the number in minutes . He didn't even realize how he learned mathematics .The boy looked around and took a piece of paper and a pencil to sketch .
He sketches the picture of his simple room and realized that he actually has a talent in drawing . It looked 3 dimensional and he sketched superbly .
The boy wanted to sketch again then suddenly realized . What does the outside looked like? He had no idea what the world looked like outside his simple room . He doesn't even know how his race looked like . Do they also have tails and ears on their rear and ear?
Do they also have red iris like him?
Are they taller than him? Do they also have hairs in their [beep] ?
" I wonder ... What outside looks like. " The boy was curious and also yearned to go outside .
He stood up and tried to see through the window but he could only see a vague outlines of the surroundings outside the window . It was blurry and he couldn't determine what's on the outside .
The boy stared at the wall and felt the dreadful feeling of loneliness again . He doesn't have someone to talk to ... He doesn't have any ideas what's in the outside , his head is blank and blurry and he couldn't come up any idea to amuse himself from the terrible thing called boredom .
The boy started shedding tears and sobbed .

Doze shakes the man on the bed and tried waking him up . " Hey hey , get up and go to the company already. "
The messy haired slender man groaned in husky whispery voice and turned to the side putting his other leg on the body sized pillow with a printed image of a man with silver hair and red eyes . He burried his head on the chest part of the pillow and hugged the pillow tightly as if the pillow was a true man .
Doze in a body of a young man worriedly looked at his master and sighed . After acquiring the fuel from the last world , he finally have the ability to materialize his body. And Doze became a 'he' finally .
Jiro woke up and dragged himself to bathroom to wash up.
After eating his breakfast , dressed in a formal suit for a Chief Executive Officer , Jiro drove his luxurious car to the company .
When he transmigrated unto his third world , a new function got unsealed from the system interface .
[ Name: Jiro / Current: Zhang Zhong

Jiro looked away from the interface and drove his car to the underground parking lot . He and Doze exited the car and went to the elevator .
When they arrived at the floor where the CEO's office was located . Jiro immediately held video conference and did his paperworks , meet with his executive assistants and did his daily routine as the CEO .
But his position as a CEO this time overwhelmed Jiro and it took him a month to adopt to the environment of the company.
In his past life , he'd been a general , a student and an emperor but now ... a CEO .
What he hates the most were paperworks . He would rather choose to become an undercover agent than become a CEO of a big company . Despite being rich , his health on the other hand would deteriorate because of stress.
Doze opened the glass door and handed the man a cup of coffee .
Jiro thanked Doze and drink the coffee . He massaged his temple for a second before leaning back on the backrest of the swivel chair .
" I somehow missed my ministers and officials at the previous world . My wife also helped me on managing the empire but i only enjoyed my life with my wife for only half a year . "
" Tell me Doze ... Does the god really hates me that much? Why do they have to make me transmigrate as soon as i made up with Zone? "
Doze hung his head . " It's actually because of the world conciousness of that world . It threw you out because you neglected your responsibility as the emperor the time you married Zone . "
" The world consciousness detected your fluctuating emotions and saw that you were in the verge of blackening so it decided to eject you out of the world to avoid potential danger . "
Jiro sighed and burried his head on the table . " I'm so frustrated .. I did not get to eat my wife much after our marriage then here i am! Transmigrated as soon as i made up with him . "
Doze scratched his head wryly . It was also his fault , he actually neglected his master's well being .
Jiro's mission this time was difficult . The main mission was hidden and Jiro did not know how to get a hint for the mission . Doze was also unable to peek at the hidden mission so he was unable to help Jiro .
On the other hand , there's a bunch of side missions for Jiro that Jiro almost completed half of it .
Doze exited the office and Jiro stared outside through the glass window . Tall scrycrapers coul be seen and multiple cars drove in the road . When he first transmigrated unto this world , Jiro felt unfamiliar with the absence of the suspension cars in his last world.
In this world , he already reached the pinnacle through his knowledge of advanced technologies from the Intersellar world .
His company is known worldwide for the advanced technologies he realeased that even the big companies that was running for a lot of decades couldn't reach .
He had just established his company for 8 years and it was already flourishing and money constantly entered his account . He couldn't even count the zeroes within his account right now .
Jiro snapped out of his trance when a notification popped out of his phone .
Well , the blueprint of the phone was the advanced one in the last world . It has a holographic function , but since he doesn't want to consume one percent of the battery . He just used it just like the normal phone in his first world as a student .
The notification was an advertisement about a game that just come out . Jiro was about to ignore it , when he suddenly thought that playing games could remove his boredom .
He already finished his paperwork so gaming at working time wouldn't be wrong right?
Jiro convinced himself that nothing is wrong and clicked on the game's information .
It was about raising a cub and a warning was written in big letters at the information of the game . It is written that the game would cost you a lot of krypton coins in order to raise the cub properly . Any poor guy are not suitable for raising a cub.
Jiro laughed in amusement and suddenly felt interested by the brain cell of the game producer. He immediately installed the game and waited a minute .
He set up his account and named his username . - A man with an unrequited love - so simple right?
After syncing his bank account on the game he immediately clicked the start .
A blonde elf suddenly appeared on the screen and waved his hand on the screen .
[ Hello! Hello ! Hello! Congratulations on user's successful account creation.]
[ Before we proceed to choose a cub , let me introduce you first about the must be remembered things in order to raise your child . ]
[ In the game , the character's environment was limited and he could only stay at a certain place . ]
[ In order to unlock a place for the character , you have reach a certain favorability first in order to meet the requirements for unlocking a place. ]
[ Second , don't let your child die of starvation . You must feed your child properly and caution! Don't treat the character nonchalantly and never neglect him . ]
[ As a father , you are also responsible for disciplining your cub so please correct the child if he did anything wrong and guide him properly to the right path . ]
[ Show him love and care in order to grow as a cheerful child . ]
[ Note if the child begins on hating you , be careful of the child's rebellion or you would lose control over the child . ]
[ All the further detail could only be discovered by the user . Good Luck! ]
Jiro touched his lips .
" So this is a real life simulator for raising a child? No wonder it takes krypton to raise one . It is just referencing real life situation in raising a son . "
Jiro never had children with Zone and the crown prince they chose to inherit the throne was already an adult . Jiro wondered what it feels to raise a cub .
Jiro tapped on the screen and the blonde elf man suddenly disappeared as the game started . Several informations of different cubs surfaced on the screen .
Jiro surveyed each one of them and suddenly realized one strange thing .
These cubs are of different races! There are insects , felines , birds , dogs , reptiles etc . There's even a demon race , an angel , a dragon , a human , dwarves and even elves!
Jiro immediately slapped his cheeks in adoration . " What an adorable cute little cubs you have there! I did not get to prepare this cuteness overload attack! "
Jiro swiped down the rectangular cards with the cubs profile . Their ages ranges from 1-8 and they have different types of body and heights .
When he scrolled down , the ange range grew up and Jiro's eyes widened in shock when he saw 2 digits .
There's even a thirthy years old child here , however his look remained youthful . There's also some ages 30 and above , but they are already mature. Unlike this blue haired boy with ... mesmerizing red eyes . Although , the game character is in animated style . He couldn't help but stare at the red iris more .
It looked like a gem , and seems like the producer invested quite a lot of money for the character creation . No wonder , only krypton players are the game company's target .
Jiro nodded in understanding and didn't get petty over money . After all , he had trillions of bills on his arsenal .
This Cub's information was strange . The other cub already have names , but this blue haired youth doesn't have one . Even his information were all blank .
[ picture of the cub ] name: Unknown
Age: Unknown , ~30+
Race: Unknown
Description: Unknown
Jiro was perplexed ... Why did the game producer created a blank canvas game character?
Jiro didn't dwell on it too much and decided to choose this blue haired red eyed cute little youth . This character somehow reminded him of Zone's youth version in the caged school .
He immediately clicked unto the character and a prompt popped up asking him if the character was the one he chose to be his cub . Jiro clicked the confirm .
Joyful music suddenly rang in the background and sparkles of light scattered like a simple fireworks.
The background changed into a simple room . On the bed , a small animated young boy could be seen sitting on the floor beside the edge of the small bed , hugging his knees while crystal clear tears dropped on the floor one after another .
A gloomy and sad atmosphere enveloped the young man . And he seemed to be scared and lonely . Jiro stared at the crying man and looked into the red iris of the youth .
His heart throbbed and wanted to wipe that tears off his eyes but it was only a game character so he didn't dwell on it too much .
A rectangular interface showed up asking him to enter his desired name for the game character .
Zone [✓]
Name
Confirm Discard
After confirming the name of the game character he happily started his life of raising a child through screen. Although he felt a bit mischievous when he named the character with his wife's name . Who cares? It was only a game character no one would find it wrong . He just want to invest his unrequited love with this game character .
