Avis sat down on a random chair waiting for Liane to come. She opened her menu and saw the time. Omg, it's this late!?How long have I been playing?

She quickly pressed the log out button and she woke up. She quickly got up and linked her Rift to her computer. Please, don't get mad at me viewers. Ok, relax, the viewers like calm replies. The first message in her Gmail that she took note of was from the Aetheria online servers located in Australia. She clicked on it twice and she read the message.

Dear Nightowl;

We would like to offer you a one year contract to help us promote Aetheria online by means of the media called YouTube. If you are interested, please send us the date and time of our meeting by replying to this letter

                                                                                                                                                                    - from Co-Founder :

                                                                                                                                                    Liane Elizabeth Aether.

Sam was so shocked about what she just read. Ok, forget YouTube for a moment. She needed answers.

She hopped back on her bed and pressed the link button. There were numbers again, but she closed her eyes and initiated the boot up of the game before the numbers reached 0.

Avis appeared right where she logged off. Liane sat in front of her with a grim expression.

Avis noticed that the small floating pyramid has disappeared. She gulped and said in a light manner " So ummm..... What's the competition?"

"You now know ,huh? Are you going to join or not?" Liane said without emotion. Now that you mention it, she did have a slight Australian accent.

" If I refuse?"

" Then, you won't leave alive. If you log out, then your career will be ruined. You wouldn't want your parents to abandon you."

Avis let out an inaudible gasp. She was glad that Liane did not notice it. she went back to smiling, but inside she was having a dilemma

' They really need this. What if the tournament paved way to the ending? Then it would be totally worth it. You know what, I'll die anyway, so why not die earlier. It would make life much easier for my parents if I was gone.' Avis thought

" Ehhh... I'll join, but all my equipment will be provided by the guild. No questions asked."

" Deal! Just join the guild. I'll send you the request." Liane said lightening up while opening her menu.

There was a ding and Avis' menu popped up. It asked her whether she wanted to join the secret guild called 'Admin Australia.' She pressed yes and she dismissed her menu.

"Ok, the competition will be debriefed by my father." Liane said as she got up and walked in the direction of the elevator. She looked back and stated in a grim voice " There is no forfeiting this."

Of course there was no forfeiting. Avis' life would be ruined if she did.
