Chapter 20: Turning point (1/2)

Bill was currently standing outside of Novis's door, he wanted to ask what Novis's game Id was so perhaps they could play online together in the future. The last time they had played, it was a local match on the same Wifi so there was no need for him to have his brothers ID.

As he was just about to knock on the door he could hear his brother shouting.

”What the hell, am I really that unlucky, You watched the matches right you have to tell me what I'm doing wrong!”

”What do you mean!”

”Does he have someone in there with him but I can't hear anyone else?” Bill thought perhaps Scarlett had come around while he was playing a game so he didn't notice. Bill liked Scarlett a lot. he always wondered why his brother and she hadn't gotten together. If the two of them was an item then he would have even more people to play with bill thought.

Bill knocked on the door and said. ”Hey, Novis is it okay if I come on.”

”Yeah go on ahead. ”

As Bill entered the room he started to look around but couldn't see anyone but Novis. ”I thought I heard you talking to someone?”

Novis had been talking to Arthur earlier and realised that Bill must have heard him.

”No, I was just complaining to myself, you know me.” He said with a nervous smile.

”I came here to ask for your online ID.”

”Oh yeah, it's ProNovis.”

There was no need to enter the VR headset to add each other. There were many applications on the phone or computer you could use. This way you could send messages to your friends or keep track of what they were doing whenever you wanted to.

”You do know everyone going to think you're a smurf with a name like that?” Bill said.

”People kept asking me that, I don't even know what it means.”

Bill went on to explain to Novis what a smurf was and how many pro players or high tier players had second accounts with names like that.

Just as Bill had added Novis he could see Noivs player ID with a little Bronze emblem and the number five next to it.

”You got B5 you must have lost all your games.”

Novis avoided eye contact and didn't say anything.
