BXBX NOVEL Chapter 5: First Game Part-1
"Not much" Michael answered and patted her small head.
"Really?" Mira asked in a low voice, not believing her brother\'s word. \'All these ingredients aren\'t cheap, did he use his life times again? How many did he have left? Is that why he wants to play virtual reality game?\' Different questions ran through her head in overdrive making her frowned slightly.
"Is something wrong?" Michael asked noticing her change in expression.
"Well..., why are you joining the game? I heard It\'s very dangerous."
"True. The game is dangerous, but as a new player AI will give me the simplest mode" Michael said trying to reassure his sister.
"Really?" Mira was happy hearing that, but it only lasted for a second before she said. "That means when you increase in level, AI will give you difficult modes. Which might risk your life. Brother, if you are doing all these for me, please stop. If it\'s life times I can start looking for a job that will give us life times."
Michael stopped what he was doing and Squat down facing her "never say that again, And what type of brother would let his little sister work on the street?"
"But..."
"No but, haven\'t you heard how the guilds or those who are higher rank gamers live their lives luxuriously, that is what I want for you. I\'m not doing these for only you but the both of us." Michael said calmly, and release her from the hug.
"Now go and arrange the table, I will bring the foods outside when it is ready." He gave her a smile.
Mira gave a small nod and walked out of the kitchen to arrange the dinning table.
"Don\'t worry sis, I will make sure you live the best life possible." He promised, stood up and focus on cooking.
MOMENTS LATER
The Dinning table was pack with food, from veggies salad, to fried rice and beef with some fried egg and noodles, finally topping it up with a bottle of wine and fruit juice, wine for Michael and juice for Mira.
"Wow brother, these foods look delicious." Mira said licking her lip.
"Hahaha... have a taste, today eat till your heart content, if you need more just tell me and I will bring the pot over." Michael said jokingly.
Mira giggled happily and started eating.
"Mira! You haven\'t prayed, how many times should I tell you this? Pray to the lord before eating."
"Mmm, hm, hmm" Mira nodded and swallowed the food she had already eaten then placed her palms together.
"Oh Lord come and bless these foods we are about to eat, amen" As soon as she finished she looked up at her brother and saw him smiling at her.
"Go ahead" Michael said, a small smile on his face. That was all she needed to dive back into the food.
\'Don\'t worry, after the game I will make sure you only eat good and delicious food.\' Michael thought and started eating.

ONE HOUR AGO
"Ahh!! Those two brats! They aren\'t even happy I come to these smelly place to pay them a visit, and they chased me away like some thug."
Sara was currently ranting as she walked down the street in her short dress. Her handbag\'s handle cross around her shoulder.
"Cab!!" She called a taxi over as soon as she got off the smelly area.
"How much?" She asked the driver.
"Where are you heading?" The driver asked back.
"Clear sky street" Sara replied.
"Clear sky street? How can someone staying in that high-end place come to this run down area?" The driver asked our loud.
"Shut up and answer my question!"
"Sorry ma, 2 days life times"
"What?!! You motherfucker!!! It\'s only 1 day lifetime, how did it get to two?!" Sara yelled at the man.
"Well...
first you are going to a high-end place which is distance away and second you are currently in a bad place with thugs and crooks everywhere, look at the time it\'s already 7:30pm; if it reaches 8, the police won\'t be of any help so it\'s better for you to pay up or wait for those guys coming ahead." The driver gave a long explanation and also pointed at five bare chested men with their shirts on their shoulders walking towards them.
"You are beautiful and also wearing a nice dress, I wonder why your boyfriend didn\'t drop you off. It\'s not my business but if those Men catch you, I bet you won\'t like what they will do." The driver added.
"Fine!" Sara said, her mood getting worse. \'It\'s all because of those two, don\'t worry I will make you pay back this lifetime you made me spend.\'
The driver smiled and stretched out his green bracelet, Sara growled, but still placed her green bracelet on the driver\'s, transferring a total of 2 days life times.
"Good. Now get in, let get out of this place." The driver said and pressed a button inside his taxi opening the door for her.
Sara entered and sighed in relief as soon as she sat down. She raised her bracelet and said to AI, "show me my profile"
\'This is fucked-up, I don\'t even have the strength to protect myself yet, I hope if I play my first game all these will unlock.\' She thought.
"Hey miss, are you a higher gamer?" The driver asked, he surely heard her asked AI for a profile.
"Focus on driving!" She hissed at him. Brought out her phone, and Sent a text Message to Michael. \'I hope this moron will be ready.\'
____
Michael and his sister just finished eating their dinner and was preparing to head to their rooms when Michael\'s phone buzzed.
He brought out his phone and saw Sara\'s text. \'Hey handsome, I have opened my account. Name: poisonous Queen. You can add me up as your friend.\'
"I should add her? She is surely up for a surprise." Michael snorted and walked inside his room after locking all the locks on the door.
\'We really need to move to a new place.\' He thought lying on his bed and quickly fell asleep.
____
NEXT DAY
Michael woke up early cleaning and doing all the chores around the house.
Beep.
He walked towards the dinning table where he placed his phone with a white towel on his shoulder.
"Her again" He checked the massage, and it was from Sara.
\'Ten o\'clock I will enter the game, I see you haven\'t added me as your friend yet, don\'t worry I will add you.\'
Michael shook his head and dropped his phone on the table, he continued with his routine, cleaning the house.

9:00 AM
"Morning big bro" Mira greeted walking inside the Dining room, rubbing her sleepy eyes.
When she saw the food on the table her eyes lit up, "can\'t wait." She quickly jumped on a chair getting ready to eat.
"Not yet, aren\'t you forgetting something?" Michael asked.
"Oh"
She realized it and rushed into the bathroom. Mira quickly washed her face and brushed her teeth. After that she walked outside and sat on her chair, opposite her brother.
"I will be going today, but don\'t worry, A day in the game is equal to an hour in real life. I think." Michael said after thinking for a while.
"That\'s better." Mira nodded with a small smile. "What am I going to do while you are gone?" She asked.
"Don\'t go out, stay inside. If you are bored you can use my phone to play games or watch movies." Michael suggested, as there was no TV in the whole apartment.
"Thanks" She thanked in a low voice.
Michael stared at her for a moment then said. "Don\'t worry so much, I will be back."
"I know." Mira nodded and started eating her breakfast.
He didn\'t say anything more, and the two ate in silence.
___
TEN O\'CLOCK
"Ok Mira, take care of yourself, don\'t leave the door open, ok?"
"I know big bro" Mira replied calmly.
Michael nodded and said to AI. "Log Me into my account."
The next moment, Michael\'s whole body was enveloped in a white light, and he disappeared from the room, leaving a low mood sister behind.
____
Michael stared at all the message floating in Front of him like a big screen in the white space around him. He tapped on the newbie\'s rewards.
"All these for a newbie? time to make a name for myself and..." He stared at the last message "I don\'t have any questions, because--" His words were cut short by a voice he knew to well.
