Four-fifteen in the morning, Ren woke up early. He may be groggy due to playing NOAH late at night, but the gladness NOAH delivered to him last night is still intact. As he get up from his bed, he thought to himself,

"Hatsya, that blue-hooded guy who banned the hacker right in front of us... I hope I can defend that game like him someday..."

He went to the dining area and saw his mother preparing a quick and simple breakfast, consisted of salted bread, and mugs of coffee for two. They started eating their breakfast and began chatting,

“Ren, I just watched the breaking news last night, it’s about the game called NOAH--”

“What about it, ma?” Ren asked.

“I’ve been hearing about that around the neighborhood, while you and Butchoy are away, they’re wild about it, like it’s a celebrity!”

“Mom, it’s an online game, like the one depicted on Metanoia movie”

“Ah okay, I’m sure you, and Butchoy tried that game, after it came out eh?” Ren’s mom asked, with her sights on her only son’s eyes.

“Yes mom, it is good... I get to meet people from other countries actually” Ren chuckled, and scratched his head.

“I hope you don’t get too engrossed on the that game, like your BD-Strike and DotA days!” Ren’s mom reminded.

“Ummmm... mom, that game isn’t as too frantic as those games I play” Ren admittedly rebutted.

“Still Ren, never forget that you have school, and your dawn job”

Ren and his mom glanced at their simple wall clock, and she reminded,

“Oh, you gotta go to Manang Abe now!”

Ren hurriedly went upstairs and get dressed casually for his dawn work. Meanwhile, at the Kanlaon Mansion...

Henry, donning only an oversized shirt, and dandelion yellow fitted cotton short shorts, woke up. He went to his computer and logged into NOAH. The male godly operatic voice spoke to him,

“Hatsya, would you like to come to my house?”

“Eh? Oh c’mon, may I talk to you tonight instead?” Henry rejected.

“All right, sorry for bothering you Hatsya. I have pressing matters to discuss to you”

“Mind texting it to me?”

“Wait a minute, I am not that fully advanced to pull off such feat!” the operatic voice laughed.

After talking to the operatic voice, Henry checked his emails, and even his blogs for comments. Moments after, Aling Marisa, the curly-haired mahogany-skinned maid called,

“Sir Henry, your breakfast will be ready in few minutes!”

“Okay, Aling Marisa!” Henry affirmed, as he logged off from his computer.

Henry immediately went to his bathroom, preparing for school. Meanwhile at Iris’ room...

Iris talked to herself while taking shower,

“Hmmm... I don’t know what drove me to play as an enforcer. I honestly don’t play games, but I kinda find it appealing. Damn, I ain’t that kind of girl!”
