Chapter 63 Playing for the first time (1/2)

The Gaming Club members started to show the Mercenary Club members how the game was played. After showing them one game, the two clubs headed out since it was already 17:00, and they needed to get home.

Once Alex got home after escorting Rachel as per usual he headed to his dad's study. After reporting the day's happenings, Carlo reminded his son that tomorrow was the meeting of Rachel's family and their lost father Dan Regius.

When Alex was reminded of this fact, his face grew serious and he saluted, before leaving the room. Alex was walking towards his room, the anxiety he was feeling was something even more than the anxiety he felt as he faced death.

Alex gritted his teeth, and calmed his mind by repeating the chant he kept on saying to calm his nerves.

'I need to be strong, I need to be more than human. Fear and anxiety bring nothing but hesitation, hesitation brings death in the battlefield.' This was the chant that kept him going from one battle to the next.

Alex kept on repeating this chant in his mind, but for some reason it wasn't working like it always did. That was when Alex remembered about the game he saw awhile ago. He needed to practice playing that game anyway so might as well play it.

Alex approached one of the maids and asked where the game room was located.

”The game room? Isn't that beside the young master's room?” When Alex heard the maid's answer he immediately headed towards the room beside his own, and like the maid said this was truly a game room.

It was a large room, that was filled with a library of games, and in the middle of the room, where four TV sets, with surround sound. All of the past and current consoles, where plugged into different forms of television. Finally behind the TV sets was a PC with three monitors.

The feel and look of the CPU was like it came from a sci-fi novel, the PC itself as also sci-fi-ish. There was even a VR set laying there at the side. Alex was overwhelmed by the new world he had entered, he was both confused and excited.

Alex had used a computer before, but that was just for training purposes. This time he was going to us the computer for entertainment purposes. Alex sat in front of the computer, turned on all of the screen, and the PC's start up button. When the computer got booted up, Alex stopped moving.

'How do I play that game?' The library of games was astounding but at the same time, it made things difficult. If one wanted to find a specific game, it would take hours to look and check the whole thing. The order of the games was not chronological, nor alphabetical. Alex had no time to find out how the games where placed and in what order.

So the fastest way to find the game was to call the maid or butler that was assigned to clean this room, surely he/she would know where the game Alex was looking for was placed.

Alex took the phone located beside the computer, and dialed the local number for the head butler. The call connected and Alex asked for the person in charge of cleaning the gaming room. After a few minutes a maid came into the room, Alex asked her if they had the game called Perfect Soldier.

The maid enthusiastically answered Alex, and started to explain how wonderful the game was.
