Anthony's YouTube career seemed to work very well, better then he expected a while ago. Following his resignation from the old job, he began making serious purchases of equipments to enhance experience. He also bought new desk, and set up new office layout. He even organized some decor along the walls, for own satisfaction.
After adjusting to the new workplace, Anthony began learning the new system. From internet strength to video editing, he studied the content creation; expanding his creativity with what to put out for people to see. There were also a monetization and viewership income, like video advertisements and sponsorship.
Oh boy how he loved his new job so much! Why didn't he do this earlier?
"Man, been three hours! I am so done for the day." Tyler said once the game was cleared.
"Time flies by quickly huh?"
"How can these guys managed to play again? What are they playing?" Tyler wondered out loud. "GMod, I think?"
"I have to say, this new lifestyle is throwing me off guards sometimes. Playing games here and there," Anthony spoke. "Man, what are you eating?"
"Some tacos. I am pretty fucking hungry."
"Yeah, man," he laughed, watching Tyler took a big bite. "I can see that. Makes me wanna get some now."
"Well, go ahead and make some."
"Nah, I already ate. Besides I probably need to get some beauty nap."
"Uh-huh, sure thing," Tyler mocked jokingly. "Panda needs hibernation."
"Ha! Yeah. But, seriously. I got guests coming to my house so might need some sleep now before that."
"Guest huh? Who's that?" Tyler suddenly asked. "Are you having a home dinner date, Anthony?"

"What? No. Guests, Tyler, plural. They're my colleagues."
"No, I can smell lies when I smell 'em. I know it is a date. Don't think that I let things slip out my mind."
"No."
"Yes!" Tyler exclaimed louder, and Anthony's groan got weaker. "I know for the fact you are seeing someone. What was her name again?"
"Oh whatever."
"The mystery girl is still a mystery, unfortunately. I need to figure this out quickly!" Tyler confessed. "Can't you just tell me Anthony?"
"I won't because there's nothing to tell. I am not seeing anyone." Anthony frowned.
"'We're just friends'," Tyler mocked. "Now who was that?"
"Nobody, I swear," Anthony let out a sigh. "Things didn't work out well."
"Ooooh, so you did see someone!" The Wildcat creator exclaimed loudly. But when he realized the full answer, he pursed lips slightly. "What happened? Who was she?"
"Hm, a friend of my coworkers. Karla is her name. He introduced me to her and we hung out few times. But it just didn't work out."
"Oh wow, I didn't know."
Anthony let out another sigh. "Yeah, what the hell anyway. It's just life over here."
"Man, I mean... just hang in there, bud."
"It's alright, Tyler. I appreciate it - hey, gotta go, okay?"
"Sure thing."
Phew, that went really well! He ate the shit out of all of it like it was some tacos.
The whole bean was only planted so that Tyler could shut up about this mystery girl. Since the first time Tyler heard the news, he had become so obsessed to find out 'the mystery girl'. At first it was considered a common joke between them. But it started to come up to the point of annoyance and frankly, Anthony was sick of it. So Karla showed up on the script.

Disclaimer: Karla was actually someone's grandmother who lived just across the street. Anthony met her a couple of times. She was a very lovely woman.
Now that the game was over and Tyler was nowhere to bug, Anthony immediately flopped down on the bed, stretching every muscles on his body. Sitting down for almost three hours was not a pleasant situation. He planned to have good nap, before eveing started and guests were coming in.
Or did he? Or was it also part of the script?
If Tyler said that he could smell lies, he'd be an awful lie detector because Anthony just lied to his face. Twice.
Karla, one.
Having his colleagues coming over, two.
In truth Anthony didn't invited anyone for a hang out night at his house. What he did, however, was inviting Mami to a game of GTA.
"Hello?" came a very distinct womanly voice over the Discord. "Hey Anthony!"
"Welcome welcome welcome," he greeted. "Welcome to the show."
"Ooooh I feel giddy all of the sudden. Like, I don't know what to do," she confessed. "This won't go on YouTube, Anthony?"
"Oh relax! How many times I have to tell you? It's just you and me and our characters." he couldn't help but chuckled out loud. "That is if you want to be on my channel."
"Nonono. No thanks. But I mean... this is the first time we play together. Have to say, I am a little bit nervous."
"Now that you mention it, this is actually the first time we talk. Like, calling, hearing each other voices," he expressed. "I kind of forget how you sound like sometimes."
"So what do you think I sound like?"
"Honestly, I didn't know your voice could be so...," charming. "Funny."
"Heh! I sound funny?"
"Hey your webcam is not on."
"Oh hang on, sorry," within a second a screen oh her face was shown.
"Alright. Now you sound and look funny!" And pretty.
"Ha. Ha. Whatever," Mami said with no emotions at all. Instead a baseball bat was swinging right at him. "You bastard."
"Whoa easy tigger. Don't kill me - oy you just killed me!"
"And lemme take the money. Yes!" Mami giggled the moment Anthony's character spawned back in the game. "So what should we do? Can we do missions?"
"What we can do is this." Without warning Anthony shot out some SMG directly to Mami's face. "Hahahaha take that!"
Alas, for most of the time all they did was to fulfill their own mission to take down the others.
And for Anthony, he enjoyed the look on her face whenever she won or lost, and all the beauty that came with it.

The Way Ahead
What do you do when you don't fit in? Edwin never really felt many connections to other people, but as a physics student, that was fine. He didn't really need it, anyway. He was content to peel back the mysteries of the universe... not that there were many left to find. Modern-day research was just too well-established, too well-trodden for any single enthusiast to make any significant headway. But that doesn't apply to other worlds. Not ones where magic and Skills run rampant, where well-defined roles and Classes dominate much of society with little room for novel experimentation from its residents. That kind of world would be perfect for an overeager, newly-minted Alchemist to make his mark. Things are never that easy, though. The Way Ahead is a very slice-of-life story following the story of someone trying to find his place in a world that doesn't know what to do with him. Expect lots of science, lots of alchemy, a few sarcastic quips by the System, and lots of exploration involving the world, self-discovery, and above all, science. After all, further research is always required. Updates every other day at 9 AM PST. Congratulations! For writing a story during the month of November, you have unlocked the Royal Road Writathon Participant path!
