A room, typically large, with bookshelves mostly filled with fictional novels and comics.
A man with a youthful appearance cooking what seems to be a instant noodles, a fit build and a rather handsome appearance that can be easily fitted to be a model for a magazine yet in contrast to his appearance is eye bugs under his eyes, and a indifferent expression that if others were to see would be quite a waste as that face is much rather suited to be smiling.
The young man, as if living itself is a burden thought.
' I'm tired...'
'Still, what can I say? It's not like I can just keep whining because of my pitiful circumstances. '
The man briefly showed a deprecating smirk, and then the instant noodles that were being cooked were finally done cooking.
The man brought the instant noodles to the table while putting a relatively large tablet in front of him, then clicking on an app that is specifically made for watching streams.
The young man clicked on the stream title:
[Let's play! Echoes of the Fallen Sun]
" Hello guys ~ we are yet again playing the [Echoes of the Fallen Sun] for this stream! We are again trying to fulfill the requirements for the hidden heroine ~ as we have done all the routes for each heroine except that one!"
An exasperated sigh came out from the streamer.
" Why is she so hard to unlock..."
More sighs came from the mouth of the streamer.
'Still, it's not that bad as I've at least some content to do, but really? The requirements are ridiculous…'
The streamer voiced out his thoughts.
" The things I do for content for you guys, hahaha. "
[Echoes of the Fallen Sun] is a highly acclaimed small-world, turn-based RPG. Filled with high-quality CG, Unparalleled Freedom in choices, and a high-quality story. It's unparalleled freedom is what differentiates it from other games of similar genre, the fact that it has an Advanced AI that allows the game scenario to expand even more than what is allowed is what makes the games unparalleled as each decision comes with branching routes and also comes with each rewards and risk, creating a more immersive gameplay and branching routes.
Thus, it's a great game to stream and even the young man shows rare interest in this game.
At the same time, while the streamer is starting the game. A message notification on the man's phone popped up. Distracting him from the stream after all, it's a rare occasion, as most people who had contact with him are already blocked or muted. But this one is on Gmail, still, he couldn't help but wonder.
Clicking on the message, the content of the message states as follows;
" Congratulations Dear Player!
As a congratulations on your unwavering love and support in our game! We have decided to let you! Our most faithful supporter has given you some rewards for your support!
Click the link to get >Reward<"
' What is this supposed to be? Is this some scam? I don't remember supporting any games at all that would warrant me with this much treatment. '
But the text at the bottom had made the young man even more perplexed.
" Sincerely,
Official Solarion dev team"
The young man who had an indifferent expression on his face had finally cracked due to the ridiculousness of the situation.
"What? I haven't played the game at all..."
After all, he had only "watched" the game through streams and had never actually tried to play it himself.
" I only watched streams in the first place just... "
The young man's baffled expression instantly reverted back to its usual indifferent expression, but unlike recently, his eyes tell a different story as those blank eyes of his are tinted with bits of emotions as he said the next few words.
"To have at least even just a little bit amount... Of noise... In here..."
Words filled with loneliness, words that could not be said to others.
'…And really, even if I want to play this game, I couldn't bring myself to play it.'
As the man quickly brushes away these thoughts and quickly adapts himself to the situation.
Unable to control his curiosity, the young man mumbled to himself.
" Solarion Dev team... That is undoubtedly the official dev account of the game."
Solarion is the location where the entire story of Echoes of the Fallen Sun takes place.
'So... It shouldn't hurt to check it out. If it's really a reward, I would just contact them to clarify and refuse it.'
And as if driven by some unknown force.
The young man clicks the link... Then suddenly bright golden flashed engulfing the entire room and the man felt that his entire being was being suck away by some unknown force.
***
After some time, the man came to himself and found himself in a rather peculiar situation.
The young man voiced out his thoughts.
"...What? "
And the words that came out... Feminine, soft, and gentle.
Clearly not belonging to a man.
