Kingdom Of Fools Online

(AN: It's getting darker?)

.

tap.. tap.. tap..

tap.. tap.. tap..

.

At the small room where only a single bed and a single cabinets are inside.

A small table where his good old antique pen4 personal computer that he has been using for almost 10 yrs.

It was also the last best gift he receive and without it how boring his life would have been and being called NEET no longer apply at him if he has no personal computer.

.

He was surfing the net looking at various information related to the small meteor that was now known as an accursed stone.

Similar occurrence can be found while searching and it has the same situation that he encountered.

Their are even few people near him and one was a girl he use to know 11 yrs ago.

She was a lovely girl and was her first love.

Sadly he never had the courage to confess or even tried being friends with her.

They remained strangers but as his first love.

Saferu can't help but felt strange if his first love also receive a pass on the Kingdom of Fools Online, then won't they be enemies at the future.

.

.

[Ding..]

A message suddenly appear from his FB.

It was strange since he can't remember any reason why someone suddenly sent him a message.

He accepted it and realize it was an old acquaintance from the past.

.

[Hey Saferu you their bro?..]

[Our class well have a reunion at Hotel XxX street]

[A week from now]

[It's a FIVE STAR hotel and one of our classmate has just promoted as a CEO and promise to pay the place for our reunion]

[You should come! remember she will also come!]

.

The message was not that long.

Saferu wanted to reply but in the end he decided to ignore it.

He remember this guy.

He was a famous social butterfly a MORTAL ENEMY of loners.

Why you ask?

This people has a wide circle of friends and often drag loners around!

It was very painful for a loner to be cornered by a group of social butterflies.

A loner can barely have a conversation with them they talk so fast as if endless words wanted to escape their mouth.

The guy who just sent him a message was called Andrew.

They use to be best buddies although it was weird at first for the two of them but they manage to remained friends through out senior high school.

It was Saferu who suddenly distance himself from them.

Another reason was Saferu was sent to an elite college university while Andrew attended a third rate college school.

The reason why Saferu was able to attend such elite college was during at that time he has a college plan whom his parent had been saving for a couple of years but that was not enough as it can barely hold his tuition fees.

Another factor was his uncle.

A rich person also decided to sponsor him.

One reason his uncle agree of sponsoring him was that he owes his father a debt of gratitude.

.

He tried to adapt to the rich and intelligent students lifestyle that attended to an elite school.

Saferu barely pass as he came from a public school the difference of education was like heaven and hell.

It was already considered a miracle passing such elite college entrance exams.

But to survive in such place seems impossible with his own knowledge alone.

He needed to study harder while socializing to the rich students and cope with their life style.

He ended ignoring his high school friends especially his best friend.

Two years later Saferu did not improve at all the gap was so wide that he can barely catch up.

At that time his collage plan declared bankruptcy.

And his bad luck did not end there.

His rich uncle got a fight with his father and suddenly stop sponsoring him.

Later Saferu learned that his mother uses his name as a student of an elite college to barrow money from her rich friends.

That made their family financially struggle for the money was used for his own mothers vice.

Her own mother even stole the money which Saferu's friends lend him to buy books.

That made him lose face and trust from his friends in college.

After all books from elite schools are expensive and during that time smarts phone are not that advance and cost a lot.

Internet are super slow you can barely do some research using his computer at home.

All this bad luck happened within two years and when his parents learned of his poor performance at school they decided to drop him out of college.

They found a good excuse of their recent badly luck specially in the issue of money.

Rumor started to spread that Saferu was a Bad Student.

This gave her mother some reason to push the blame on him saying that the money she took was spent on his education.

Her mothers friends forgave her as they learn that she was just another unlucky mother and even sympathize at her while thinking that Saferu was such a cruel and ungrateful child.

After he drop out Saferu started to turn into a social outcast.

Every time their is a special occasion he is always left at home.

If his father or mother has a friends gathering he chooses to stay.

He was aware of the bad rumor being spread by his own parents at him.

The only good thing happened during the 2 years was that his sibling was discovered to be a very smart children.

They manage to obtain a free scholarship.

A four years free college pass.

That made his parents redirect their attention and barely bother with their older useless son.

His father even made him an example often telling his siblings that not to follow their older brother foot steps.

.

"Look at your useless brother. Don't follow his examples! He is very useless and worthless!"

If killing was Legal, Saferu often wonder if his parents would already disposed him instead of letting him hide inside his small little room.

.

If Saferu can go back in the past.

He will do everything to stop himself from attending such elite college and rather continue his studies with his best friend.

That was clearly the turning point of his life.

He would not cut his connections with them.

The friends he obtain at the elite school only recognize him for the sake of being classmates.

He might have found some real friends but the accident where his mother stole the money for his book which his college friend lend him made them avoid him and no longer trust him.

In reality ever since he started College he barely have any friends at all.

He even thought of falling in love of one of the girls in college.

They have a certain chemistry and his classmate often tease them.

Yet after a few months he learn that the girl is already dating someone else.

Such is the life style of the elite.

.

.

A few years later his best friend became a famous successful IT while he remains a NEET.

10 years was enough to make them a complete stranger.

Such is a loser in life.

At first he regretted it but a few years of losing intimacy and contact to other people gave him a life no different from a robot.

He lose the feeling of caring especially to himself.

He began to live with the moment, to go with the flow.

Although his fathers insults and curses hunts him everyday.

He manage to successfully create a mask that made people believe that he was a normal person.

But you see if he was normal.

He would never dream or pray that every time he went outside.

He always wanted to encounter some robbers that might stab him to death.

Or the car he has ridden well suddenly get into an accident.

Or just some random lightning struck him.

Praying for an accident to happen at him does not make him normal at all.

.

.

Andrew's sudden message made him slightly recall his sad past.

But he was not sad.

He lost the feeling of being sad a long time ago.

If some one was at his side he might ACT with the naturally and even reply at the message with a positive response.

But since he was alone all he did was continue what he did before the massage arrive.

As for what Andrew told him.

He won't go or rather he can't.

First he doesn't have the money to go their and next he has no clothes for such special occasion.

He barely has any clothes for himself.

A worn out oversize blue hooded jacket is all he have if he wanted to go outside.

A pants filled with holes for the so called fashion.

And a school shoes that has been with him ever since he left college.

He might not feel embarrass about it but he might got drag into something troublesome.

Despite no longer being best of friends.

He doesn't want to embarrass Andrew with his poor presence.

And hell well he appear as a loser in front of his first love.

.

.

As Saferu continued to stare at the monitor.

If other people can see him.

They will be surprise that a shadow of death was hanging at his back.

Reflecting his sealed heart whom always wanted to disappear.
