The Decision That Opened A New Door For Me

It was just a normal day for Azure, he got up, ate breakfast, went to school, and finished it just like any other day, but he had a feeling that something would happen today and he couldn't shake it off no matter how hard he tried to which led him to contemplate if he's starting to have the eighth grader syndrome that he didn't have when he was an eighth grader or something like that.

After thinking about that for a while he decided to stop questioning why he is like this today and just continue with his day as if he never brought up any of these questions in his mind and just let the day go by like it normally did.

He then got up from his seat and started walking towards the door, since he was still in the classroom the entire time as he was thinking about life and stuff like that.

After a while he stopped walking and decided that he should just go to the park that he usually goes to after school and rest there before heading to the train, since it wasn't like something was going to happen to him if he missed it since it would just come back, he knows this because he always goes on that line as its the fastest one to reach his apartment.

When he noticed that it was starting to get late he decided that it's time for him to leave the park and start going. After a while Azure noticed that he was at a rather popular area in the city and decided that it would be better to just listen to some music instead of listening to all the people in the area around him.

He then walked a bit more before seeing a bright flash coming from one of the billboards. 'Whats with all the light coming from billboard today? I mean I know that it's usually very bright but it seems extra bright today.' Azure thought to himself as he then let curiosity get the better of him and turned his head towards the billboard.

What he saw next took him by suprise as he wasn't expecting anything too grand and just thought that it was an advertisement that decided to attract more people by using flashier lights than they normally did, but what he saw instead of that instantly caught him off guard and managed to suprise him more then what he ever thought he could.

He saw an advertisment for a virtual reality game, usually he would have just ignored it and continued walking towards the station but this time was different, What was shown on the billboard was an advertisement for the virtual reality game Dreamainia, it became the worlds most popular game in less then a year due to its amazing graphics and degree of freedom the players had when playing the game, But Azure never really thought much about it and just thought that everyone was just being over dramatic about how good it is. But well, that was what he thought untill this moment at the very least.

The advertisement played on the billboard and without even noticing it, Azure managed to spend ten minutes just staring at it in awe becoming more and more entranced by every passing scene untill it eventually came to an end.

When he snapped out of the trance he was in he immediately checked the time and noticed that if he didn't start running at this exact moment he would miss the train line and need to wait for another half and hour until another train would arrive at the station.

After running for a while Azure luckily managed to get on the train before it left the station, which made him feel quite lucky as it would have usually left at around 19:45 but this time there were quite a lot of passengers that got off at the station which made it stay for longer then it usually would have.

Since there are quite a few stops before his station, Azure sat down at an empty seat and started thinking about Dreamainia letting his mind imagine the scenery he saw in the advertisement and let it wander around while thinking about all the things it contained.

'Why am I thinking about it so much? I mean sure, it looks amazing but I dont even have enough money to buy a capsule and it's not like I can just go to the bank and get a loan and even if I could it might make things more complicated since I'll mostly just try to repay it instead of actually using the capsule itself, But internet cafes are an option since they are affordable even for someone like me.' He thought while taking in account of all the expenses and other things that he should worry about. After thinking a bit more he decided to think more about it later and stop worrying about it right now.

He then snapped back to reality and noticed a girl seemingly getting harassed by a guy that looked much older then her, he then looked at the girls expression to try and find out if it really was what he thought it was and after seeing her frightened expression he decided to get up from his seat and give it to her, he then got up from his seat and walked towards the girl, when he got near her he decided to speak up. "Um excuse me but I noticed that you seem quite uncomfortable so I wanted to ask if you would like to sit at the seat over there." Azure asked the girl. "Yes! thank you." the girl said and then sat down at the seat that Azure offered her.

After the train passed by a few stations the train stopped at Azure's station. He then got off the trainand started walking towards his house, it didn't take long for him to reach his apartment as it was quite close to the staion which was extremely convenient for him.

He then went inside, ate some food, took a shower, brushed his teeth and went to bed, he then decided on something that would change his life forever, but he didn't know that quite yet.

'You know what? If it really is a good way to earn money from then I might aswell try it and try my best to utilize it to it's fullest... and it would also probably be quite fun.'

He thought about that and then fell asleep.
