“Hyarghh!!”

It’s been a week since Daniel started his new ‘job’. Basically, his main job was to fight with the hologram in a room for 3 hours.

Every morning, he was instructed to get some exercise in the company gym before he entered the room. Once he was done with the exercise, he would enter the room and begin the fighting simulation.

The fighting capabilities and the number of the holograms spawned were based on Daniel's demands. After every fighting simulation, Daniel was given 5 minutes to rest.

For every fighting simulation, Daniel was equipped with a sword and a fighting uniforms, but with that said, Daniel was sceptical about the job since the job may take his own life. But the five times free meal, great salary, flexible working time and a bunch of experts carefully monitoring his health and injury level, made Daniel enjoy his new work.

And the fact that he can freely use the capsules in the company was a great plus. He could also refuse to do the fighting simulation if he said he was sick.

Today, Daniel worked particularly hard. The reason was, he needed to try something he had in mind for awhile. Daniel was especially demanding in asking to keep spawning five high level holograms at once without any rest until he asked them to stop.

The staff tried to refuse but the content of the contract were that Daniel's demands were absolute, so they can’t do anything but follow his orders.

It’s been 45 minutes since the fighting simulation started and Daniel already ‘killed’ 15 high level holograms. The holograms kept on spawning and Daniel already looked tired but Daniel still didn’t give the signal to stop.

“(I need to find that feeling again, what I used to unleashed the skill here before)”

The first time Daniel performed the fighting simulation in the room, he unleashed an unknown skill reflexively. The last duel he had with Chaos Knight make him eager to try something.

“(If the game can add or deduct my character status by analyzing my physical body, maybe it can also give me a new skill if I master a skill.)”

As usual, Daniel fought as if he was dancing. He dodged every attacks while countering with every chance he got.

While Daniel was busy with his fights, Alex came in the room outside of the fighting simulation room.

He watched Daniel fighting through the thick glass wall. Surely, only Alex's side can see through the glass wall while on Daniel's side, the glass wall only reflects his image.

While watching Daniel fighting, Alex approached one of the researchers to ask about Daniel.

“How was he?”

“Sir Alex, thank god you’re coming. Mister Daniel demanded us to keep on spawning five holograms at once. He didn’t get any rest until now, if we go on, he might discover…..”

Before the researcher can finish his words, Alex interrupted with a smirk.

“Nah, just let him do whatever he wants. We already got what we wanted anyway.”

*huff* *huff*

“HYarghh!!”

Daniel already tired himself out, but he kept on unleashing one heavy slash after another. He desperately wanted to learn the skill he unleashed that day through adrenaline.

Daniel's instincts told him that the skill would be a great addition to his character skill arsenal if the capsule could analyze it and make it a game skill.

To acquire the skill, Daniel asked the researchers to perform the dangerous life and death situation.For him to achieve greatness, Daniel thought betting on his life was worth it.

Ting!!

Ting!!

Ting!!

“Hyargh!!”

shing!

“Hyargh!”

shing!

*huf* *huf* *huf*

His breathing was already heavy and his vision got hazy. No normal human being can fight more then 20 minutes non stop. Daniel should have collapsed from fatigue a long time ago.

Maybe because of his training or maybe because of his determination, Daniel already fought for an hour and a half without taking a rest.

It was already a great feat, but instead of shouting ‘stop’, Daniel kept on fighting desperately. To him, learning that skill was that important. As a swordsman, having a finishing move was crucial and Daniel realized it when he fought Chaos Knight before.

Daniel kept on fighting desperately and without him knowing, he’s losing his consciousness. Now Daniel's body fought on reflex alone and he slashed anything coming on his way.

shing!

shing!

shing!

When his body was about to collapse, finally Daniel got the familiar feeling he had from before.

“Hyarrgh!!”

SHING!!

KRAAKK!!

His single slash cut two holograms at once and as if it was not enough, the glass wall behind the hologram also had a big sword slash mark.

Once he unleashed the skill, Daniel couldn’t even stand up anymore. He released his sword from his grasp and his body lowered to the ground, kneeling.

Daniel tried to speak, but his voice was like a whisper making it impossible for anyone to hear.

“St-stop.”

The other three holograms were already on their way to attack Daniel. Now, Daniel was like a death sentence prisoner that was waiting for his execution.

“(I guess this is it, I was too reckless.)”

Without any mercy, the three holograms slashed through Daniel’s body.

Shing!

Shing!

Shing!

As if he already accepting his fate, Daniel closed his eyes, waiting for death. Daniel felt a great pain from the sword slashes and his whole body collapsed to the ground.

Wing!!

Wiiiing!!

Wiiing!!

“DANGER!! FIGHTING SIMULATION STOPPED”

Daniel barely heard the computer like announcement and the sirens. From his blurry vision, he saw the researchers rushing through the door towards him a few seconds before his mind completely went blank.

******

“Woke up already?”

Confused, Daniel looked around him. He was currently lying on a three seater sofa and the room he was currently in was a four square room with a television, sofa and a coffee table.

“(The company waiting room?)”

Daniel saw Alex grinning while sitting on the sofa directly in front of him. After a moment, Daniel remembered what happened and checked on his body.

Instead of a seriously injured body, Daniel only had a few bruises. It was painful, but not something life threatening.

The attacks from the holograms were supposed to be real. Discovering his body was still intact, Daniel felt relieved, but his anger rose up once he realized.

“You lied to me.”

Still grinning, Alex replied as if it was none of his business.

“Ah, you found me out.”

Daniel was speechless, from day one he fought the holograms by betting on his life in his mind. He desperately dodged every attack and countered only if he thought it was absolutely safe.

While Daniel was still silent, Alex explained what happened.

“You collapsed from the fatigue of having an insane fight with five high level holograms for 96 minutes. As I thought, you are as reckless as ever.”

“Hmph! I was really a fool for not noticing this, maybe because it seemed too real for me when I fought the holograms.”

“The holograms themselves can’t harm anyone, the secret was in your equipment. This sword was actually installed with a high tech mechanism where it will act as if it hit something when you clash the sword with the holograms.

And the uniform you wear also has another function. Besides monitoring your health when you do the fighting simulation, it also gave appropriate ‘hurt signals’ when the holograms hit your body. Your body would not have any physical injury, but your body would experience pain up to 80%.”

Daniel didn’t like being lied to, but Alex's explanation made him relieved. Now he doesn’t need to fear for his life when he’s working. From now on Daniel can enjoy his job more since the life threatening experience was gone.

“Ah, I forgot. Here, take this.”

Alex took out an envelope from his coat and handed it over to Daniel.

“Open it.”

Daniel opened the envelope once Alex told him to. When he saw the contents of the envelope, he already knew what was going on, but Daniel still didn’t want to believe it.

“W-What is this?”

“Your salary, you have worked hard.”

Alex patted Daniel shoulder as if it was nothing. Daniel still didn’t want to believe it, he just loved his work since he now knows the work was not life threatening. He tried to smile, trying to negotiate.

“B-But I just worked for one week.”

“Yesterday I heard you fired all of the ‘TerraNorth’ members on top of destroying ‘TerraNorth’.”

“T-That, let's talk about it, professionally.”

“Hmm….Professionally you used your friend to obstruct TigerB from logging into the game so you could safely infiltrate the Grand Safe and rob it!.”

“..........Don’t take it personally, I don’t remember you were someone that held grudges.”

“Personally you just made me look like the weakest Emperor in Emperor Saga history.”

“...............That’s…..just a game?”

“And your game over, you’re FIRED.”

“.......What the…..how cheap you can be….”

“Guards, take him out of here!”

As if Alex already prepared, the guards came through the door almost instantly. If it was the game Daniel would stab Alex before he slayed all the guards, but since it was the reality, Daniel could only follow the guards quietly.

*sigh*

Once out of the building, Daniel was on his own again, he really couldn’t believe his bad luck this time. While Daniel in deep thought, a person approached him from behind, it was a beautiful lady that should have been working now, behind the desk, as a receptionist.

“Yo, you’ve been fired too?”

The lady's attitude was casual, but her eyes were red, instead of the trait of the player killer, a person with a red eyes in the real world was someone that cried earlier.

“........”

“.................”

Both Daniel and the lady hugged each other while crying…...
