Chapter 8

The next day, I went to the blacksmith’s shop and then entered the underground hall through the trapdoor. Serena was present there. She gave me the gooey liquid with the terrible taste. Soon I found myself lying inside the capsule. My hold on consciousness slowly slipping, I recalled my last day with my brother in vivid detail and felt like I was transported to the past.

I had been gaming and my brother had brought me tea.

“I couldn’t kill that mob the last time I tried,” my brother had said, while my eyes were fixed on the computer screen as I battled and finally killed a one-eyed monster.

“Really? That was easy for me,” I said.

My brother sighed.

“I wish I could play like you, Dev,” he said. He patted me on the shoulder and left the room. Moments later I heard a big sound coming from downstairs but I didn’t go to investigate. I was in the middle of another fight, and if I left the computer for even a minute I would lose.

It was forty minutes later that I actually went to see what had caused the big sound.

My brother lay at the bottom of the stairs, dead. There was a big wound on his head. He had tripped on the stairs apparently. Had I rushed him immediately to the hospital he might have survived. But I would never know because I had been too busy gaming.

There was a tear in my eye as I materialized in my room in the Ravana’s Inn. My heart drummed fast as my mind replayed the painful scene with my brother's head a bloody mess. I had cried so much that day. I was sure my brother had yelled as he had fallen, but I being too engrossed in the game had entirely missed his yell. I sighed and walked to the window and opened it, ushering in the sunlight. For a few moments I found myself staring at the people and the buildings. I suddenly realised that I wasn’t offending my brother in anyway by playing Prithvi Online. Prithvi Online was much more than a game that people played for past time. This was an alternate world, among the greatest inventions of Man, the next step in our evolution.

With this thought, I felt significantly better. I didn’t know how much of it was true and how much of it was a lie. But it provided me solace and so I hung on to it.

I went to Grimguy’s room but found that he had gone somewhere, his door locked. I decided to get in touch with my other friends. I messaged Rajahard, Ladyjane and Lovebird, inviting them to my room and telling them that I had something to show to them. Rajahard and Ladyjane came quickly. I asked them how the past couple of days had been for them and they said that they had progressed by two levels. I showed them my sword and they were quite impressed with it. Rajahard said that he now had a new spell.
