Chapter 4: Announcement
Playing game was really not every player’s cup of tea, but after “Arcs of SHION” was released worldwide. It piqued Dienn's interest, he was a ‘mystery and crime games' nerd.
He got curious about the sudden increase of ratings and the overwhelming excellent reviews on the web. It was famous not only because it’s a novel based game but because of the fact that anyone could counter any arguments throughout the game.
Although everyone knows that everything in the game plots is scripted, it doesn’t change the fact that all players are free to say what they like as long as it’s accordance to the rule implied.
He was currently on a phone call with someone that he one-sidely marked as his girlfriend which really wasn’t the case since it was his classmate from way back to his college days. He tapped his computer and moved his character throughout the game—same time speaking with his old classmate who’s also into this game. Serving his function of being Dienn’s guide.
He was guided by the so-called girlfriend to some office room. Afterwards, he obtained some items and then the call was hanged up on the other side. One thing he got from the instructions is, he had to complete the Arc and do some tasks that will be given by the NPCs—another is to chill out and see how things turned out in a spectator’s point of view. He chose the latter and just observed throughout the game. He doesn’t like this kind of crappy plot anyway. What he’s in for is a classic mystery solving game or a crime-based kind of plot.
On the other hand, Yenn got stuck in his tasks and had to carry loads of paperwork from up and down the company building. Damn that torturous manager, he basically became a slave because of her!
“I swear I would slap that hag later” he calmed his irritated nerves and finally convinced himself to give that player a vicious slap later.
Right now, his character is inside the company basement, he headed there to put the bunch of old paper works. When the punishment started, he heard the door opened and two guys entered the room. He panicked and hid behind the bunch of stacked papers that he regretted doing so, his character was crouching down but his eyes were entirely focused on the steamy scene. It was like an animated porn which totally drove his guts mad.
Witnessing the scene, he blushed feeling an excited bulge in his pants then he heard the system restriction of not moving or freezing at the same spot finally ended. Though because of that restrictions, he had to endure the entire moment of staring on the screen unblinkingly and an unturnable head —for almost seems like an eternal in just a few minutes of him sitting unmoved on his bed. He snapped back when the system announcement message blocked the scene in front.
‘Oh, it ended? But…hey! This system scum! You made me wait for 10 minutes watching these two animals in heat mating with each other! Oh God, Oh freaking God, wha—why do I have to witness that f*ckin scene.’ His mind turned into a blunder but one thing he’s sure of —this game is really nuts!
He stands up and walked out of his room finding his way to the bathroom. Shameful as it is, he did get hard! “Damn it” he groaned in frustration and start relieving himself in the toilet.
Meanwhile, In an apartment complex, there are two person’s room where a bright looking young man entered inside he put his bag down and approached the guy whose currently focusing in front of the computer. “Jiwoon Hyung, you’re playing that game again?” He asked then the guy looked at him sideways his hand continued to move the mouse as he replied “You play this too you know.” Byul stared at him smiling then he sits down and opened his laptop. He logged in to the game and start playing too.
On the other side, Hailey continue to play in front of her computer. After torturing the points robber a.k.a. her assistant—Yenn. She finally felt better. Since she’s in a good mood, she decided to treat him better and lessen his workloads.
Spending almost an hour in the game really made her hand numb so she want to hurry up and finish the game. She couldn’t care less anymore she just want it to end since her points was already stolen anyway. She pulled the pen in her inventory intending to throw it out but she got startled after hearing a system warning.
‘Damn I almost lost my points there.’ After hearing the rule, she became careful and think. She decided to find out who the protagonist was, but could it be the protagonist isn’t in the company? But the system said that he’s supposed to be here. And the protagonist looked exactly like the director. Could it be the protagonist isn’t here yet? When she was racking her brains out, a system message popped up on her screen saying the real protagonist has been found!
“Argh! That point robber again! Damn it he stole my points again!” She scowled in rage as she slammed her hands on the table near the keyboard. After consoling herself she continued playing the game while eating cup noodles, when she finished sipping the soup in her noodled cup, the system announced a new guy in the finance department and was a hot topic among the co-workers. For he looks exactly the director too so everyone thinks that the other one and him are twins!
Although the other was a country bumpkin, this one was a hot shot! He’s a financial accountant from the other branch of the company. He was transferred here (the main company) because of his outstanding skills! “He’s definitely the protagonist!” Hailey said out loud while staring at her computer’s screen.
After a few days in the game, she saw the protagonist looking for something. He was pacing back and forth from the hallway through the room. When he saw her, he bowed and continued to search for something. She clicked him and a dialogue popped out. Her character cleared her throat and said “Are you looking for this?” she showed the pen. The protagonist face lit up and thanked her. “Thank you, Manager! I really thought I’d lost it I’m really grateful to you for finding it for me”
“Oh? Well, I saw that you dropped this pen yesterday, and just picked it up. I was planning to give it yesterday after work but you already left.” Hailey explained as she handed the pen to him.
After hearing the announcement, Hailey finally felt satisfied having a hundred points in one game really made her happy although she still had a grudge on the points robber for having more points than her. Playing the game for almost two hours now, the system finally announced the story completion! Then she saw a bannered message in an open enveloped style.
[Finally, the awaited event for everyone! ‘Every player who get to play 100 Arc stories hell mode will be rewarded with $5 million dollars, be a top tier player and a chance to meet the creator as a character in the game and as well in real life.] The sudden announcement flooded the chat box with amusement and curiosity. It finally gave them a big reveal!

The event made the game only have hard mode and hell mode which made every player fired up! It will only last for 24 hours so everyone who saw the announcement start playing the game non-stop, hoping that they’ll be pick as the mysterious top tier players. No one has ever reached that rank before. You might be top 1 in the top 500 players but that doesn’t mean you are top tier. It was like you might be a legend but that doesn’t mean you’re a God! It was said in the announcement that the creator would pick them himself so everyone had high hopes. He start playing again, battling and fighting the undeniable urge to sleep as he continued to play the nerve wrecking game in his laptop. [Congratulations! You have successfully completed 100 Arc hell mode] a sys
Chapter 6 : Living Together Yenn thought that things will remain the same, his first time playing RPG made him feel that he was accepted and the first time he got a lot of money just from a game alone was really amusing but he didn’t think that it would make lot of changes in his life. Like he had to live with strangers in an island, it was a least expected outcome for him and he wasn’t sure what to do since he’s a socially awkward person. He was so used to being alone but now. He had to live with strangers… “Umm, I’m Yenn, you can call me anything you want” He bowed his head as he listened to the other people introducing themselves. Apparently everyone can talk English and among them were— two Koreans, one Chinese and a Filipino. The rest of them are the same as him living in the United States which is good news for him. After the introduction, Elena guided them to a room with a large TV screen. When they all entered th
Chapter 7: Yenn is A Guy! The next morning came and everyone was woken up by alarm clocks inside the rooms. Elena was busy preparing their things as she was running from here and there. “Ahhh!” Yenn screamed in the bathroom making his roommate Jiwoon got startled, he walked out of his room finding Yenn, in the bathroom brushing his teeth then Jiwoon saw him holding a small scroll paper with a ribbon. They both looked at each other nervously. “You open it first” Jiwoon calmed Yenn down as they opened the scrolled paper. “Take a bath together?” They both looked at each other and smiled awkwardly. “I’m sorry I drag you into this but I guess the task notes are quite easy for us, hehe” Yenn said with a flushed of embarrassment on his face. What on his mind was a harsh criticism when he saw what was in the paper. ‘What a goddamn bizarre choice of task! I thought it was something— “Okay” Jiwoon replied as he looked straightly
Chapter 8 : Stop Teasing Me! After everyone receive their clothes, they went back to their rooms. Jiwoon and Yenn was climbing the stairs. Yenn skirt was flapping sexily in the air swaying from left and right and bouncing sexily in his slimmed hips. Jiwoon whose following him at the back coughed awkwardly. He was gazing up and end up seeing Yenn's latex boxers underneath his skirt. The awkward feeling hit his sanity, disrupting his rigid quietness and invoked his nosy nature. “For a guy, you really had such skinny legs” Jiwoon couldn’t help but speak truthfully trying to set up a conversation between them. The guy turned his body around blatantly showing him the full view of his legs and thighs. “What?!” his voice sound annoyed and pissed. Maybe he doesn’t want to accept the hurtful truth that he looked like a girl—which piqued his interest a bit. He smirked, his mischievous self wanted to stir some sort of trouble. He a
Chapter 9 : What Are You Doing? Days go normally and everyone has been relaxing comfortably. At the end of the week, Elena told them that they’ll be receiving another set of clothes tomorrow. Yenn, who’s totally tired of wearing sheepish clothes, finally felt the realistic meaning of happiness. Damn, his first week was a trip to hell! Washing the pajamas repeatedly because he wouldn’t force himself to wear those fucking skirts! Never! He excitedly ran to his room to sleep, hurrying the arrival of the next day. Although he slept peacefully, he couldn’t resist the need of water to satiate his already parched throat. He got up daze, aiming to go down the kitchen and grabbed a bottle of water but it was few floors away and it was already late. He changed his mind and just decided to drink from the sink of the bathroom since it was the nearest source of the goddamn water. He walked out of his room barefoot, didn’t gave a
Chapter 10 : A Sudden Realization Yenn blushed, feeling the hot sensation in his cheek as Jiwoon continued to slapped his dick to his face. “Do It” he insisted already gritting his teeth impatiently. “Hey come on.” he begged, his eyes tearing up. He would never ever try to suck someone's dick and that’s too disgusting! “That won’t work” Jiwoon grabbed his hand and put it on his stiffed erection then he mildly stroke it. Yenn backed his hand off, T-thick! Its thick! His wits got scared as his eyes were already filled with tears. “I’m just kidding so…come on let me go damn it” his body trembled seeing the long bulging shaft inching closer to his face. “You seduced me and now you want to go away?” Jiwoon chuckled irritatingly as he position Yenn's face to his dick trying to shove it to his mouth but his teeth was clenched tight. He wet his lips thrusting his thing to his soft lips, kissing the tip of his s
Chapter 11 : All Together in A Remote Place. Everyone gathered at the terrace after they’ve been called out, Jiwoon ran upstairs to find Yenn. When he reached the seventh floor, he saw Yenn who just got out of the bathroom, he was only wearing a towel on his waist. Fuck! He walked towards him and grabbed his arm then he saw Yenn glared at him fidgeting hard as he tugged his arm away from him. “Y—you, go downstairs we all need to talk” he stuttered, feeling the sudden lump in his throat. “Okay? Fine let me go, why are you grabbing me” Yenn shoved his arm then finally break free. “Hurry up” He let him go disappointed. Yenn entered his room pissed, why does every time they saw each other Jiwoon became so weird that he’ll just grabbed someone’s arm like that? He felt a shiver on his body then a hint of disgust flare in his heart. Fuck? Does he like me or something? Yuck! He cringe
Chapter 12 : House Rules The shocking news made everyone disheartened and disappointed but after knowing that they’re on the same house living together and no one else but them, they decided to discuss things in the mean time. Elena left them their schedules but everyone knows no one would do it willingly so they throw it away. Liyanna asked them to suggest what to do, given the time they would spend together is still long. They all voice out their opinions then everyone decided to write the suggestions on paper to mark which or which not will be done. When everyone is done, they all gave it to Liyanna for she is the leader. She read them one by one and marked the same ideas and suggestions then finally copy them all in another paper to summarize everything. After a few minutes, she held out the other piece of paper and read them in front of everyone. “Breakfast is served at 7 am and everyone has their portion, so no worries if we eat l
