Game Transcendence

1: Dimension Warp

"Nothing too important. I want just about to renew my game card for Dimensional Heroes Online. You play that game too? It's really awesome!" He replied and took out a game card used for playing Dimensional Heroes Online from his shirt's pocket.

"Not yet. But that's the reason why I came here." Kian answered.

He knew that this guy was also a game addict so he was not surprised to know that he was also playing Dimensional Heroes Online.

"Really? Then if you play,just find the name 'Kaiser' in the Player Locator System in the Status Window and Whisper to me." George said and showed his name on the gamer's card.

Kian quickly took a photo of it using his smart watch in case he ever forgot the details.

"Okay. Hey, help me choose a Transmission Gear. I don't know if there's something I had to do if I want to do but one." Kian impatiently urged the blond guy.

"It's easy. Come with me." George laughed as he lead Kian to the counter.

"A Transmission Gear for my bro here. The newest model. I'm also going to renew my card." George said to the lady on the counter quite straightforwardly. The lady didn't mind though and smiled as she replied.

When the lady left to take a box of stored Transmission Gear, Kian and George decided to sit on a sofa and talk.

"So what's so good about this game?" Kian started.

"It's really amazing but also a bit frustrating. It's basically an RPG game transferred into the real world. Moreover, the game world has no looked so much better than on Earth. There's also the pain system." George explained.

Kian nodded. He had read this information from the website. It's like entering a whole new world.

"The only bad thing is that it's hard to level up since you personally have to fight the monsters. You also have to walk on your own and do all the things that are convenient in an RPG game with your own hands. That's why levelling is also hard. I spent four months playing this game but I'm still at level 60. Slow right?" George made a helpless smile as he explained.

"So it's basically living a fantasy life on your own. Seems really hard." Kian commented.

The two continued to chat about the game and their personal life. A few minutes later, the lady arrived pulling a large box placed on a trolley. She then placed the box into the desk and opened the contents.

Kian and George approached the box and got an upclose look on the Transmission Gear. The lady did a few checks on the gear to see if it had any defects and didn't found any.

Next, she took out a form and handed it to Kian.

"Please fill out the form and leave your sign below. There's only a two week warranty so please quickly return the product together with the box if you found any defect." she explained.

Kian nodded and was bit taken aback by the short warranty time but after thinking about it, it was reasonable. After all, technology like this would take a long time to make.

He shrugged off his distracting thoughts and then quickly filled in the form. As he did so, the lady then worked on George's business.

After he finished the form, he gave it back to her. She then took the new game card and did some work on it on a computer.

A few minutes later, the two paid paid their transactions and left the Gaming Center. They headed to a small restaurant to eat for old time's sake.

"It would be really nice if we could have the same element but it's really unpredictable. We won't be able to see each other often if you're main element would be darkness. You can also only travel if you have high enough level since Teleportations are very expensive." George said.

"Is that so? Then I'll find you when I get enough levels. Kaiser, right? Let's see each other in the game." Kian said as he bade farewell to his friend.

After going back home,Kian showered, ate dinner and cleaned his room before he wore the stretchable black fitting suit and a helmet. On his wrist was a strange watch with a card inserted on the side. He was now wearing the Transmission Gear.

"I can manage to stay all night. It's Saturday tomorrow anyway." He murmured as he looked at the time on a clock.

After he checked to confirm if he missed anything, he then fiddled with the watch. A screen appeared where a log in button hovered. With a click of his finger, his body slowly turned transparent until he quickly disappeared from sight.
