The Hypocrite(s)

Arc 1: The Live of The Coward, Chapter 3: Not a Pleasant Service Guy (Last Part)

Arc 1: The Live of The Coward, Chapter 3: Not a Pleasant Service Guy (Last Part)

Dec 31, 2024

Hendra looked at his computer screen that was on, he opened the downloaded file and started a game portal application. By entering the game code listed in the download file, Hendra sat in a special chair and waited for the game to finish installing.

Hendra put on his VR helmet, he could control his computer via the mouse toggle on his chair. He saw that the download process had reached 50% on the VR screen.

With today's internet speeds, downloading large files of thousands of gigabytes only took a few minutes. But unfortunately the development of technology in this era did not go hand in hand with the development of human morals which was slowly getting worse.

Hendra made sure that the game was installed correctly, then double-clicked the Percha Island Online icon on the screen.

A bar appeared in his computer window. Inside there was a box that must be filled in with the Percha Island Online Beta version code. Hendra reached into his pocket and took out a piece of paper from his trouser pocket. The same pants that he wore when he came home to his flat and slept last night.

Yep Hendra didn't take a shower this morning. The presence of The service guy had disrupted his routine, he usually started his morning by getting out of bed, making it, and doing some light exercise for five minutes, then he would take a shower, prepare breakfast, eat it, make coffee, brew it and drink it while looking at the view from his balcony in his flat.

Two years ago, Hendra was sitting on his balcony with coffee in his right hand and a cigarette in his left. However, his condition worsened due to smoking too much and his activities mainly consisted of staying at home. As a result, Hendra was forced to go to the clinic and be reunited with a crowd of people.

Hendra decided to start working out and buy the lifting equipment. He reduces smoking and only does it after eating dinner. For Hendra, quiet and lonely life is now more valuable than the pleasures brought by a cigarette.

The Percha Island Online code had been filled in. Hendra clicked on the [Okay] icon with his cursor and the bar turned into a new bar with two adjacent squares. Hendra filled in his ID and Password then clicked the [Sign Up] button with his cursor.

A bar appeared and said:

[The ID you have entered will be locked with your VR device, if you want to create a new ID please buy a new VR device. This rule also applies to the Beta Versions]

Hendra's forehead wrinkled, does this mean that each player can only have one ID for each VR device, and if the character's ID is damaged then they have to buy a new VR device? Hendra did not know how much it would cost to install a new VR device. However, from the service guy, Hendra found out that this was still in testing and that the actual VR device will be out after the beta version.

Hendra ignored it and thought that this was just a Doodle trick to make more profit. As a beta tester, he was the one who would judge whether this game was worth playing even if he had to buy a new VR device.

Hendra clicked the [Okay] button with his chair. The bar turned blank and a countdown starting at 60 appeared.

Hendra leaned back in his chair and looked for a more comfortable position, he didn't know how long he would play this game for. Maybe this game would be so exciting that he would lose track of time. Therefore, his sitting position must be appropriate so that he does not wake up with body aches.

If the game was really bad then he would have a hard time making a promotional video later. Hendra hoped he didn't have to force Leona to lie to her fans and trick them into buying bad games.

Because after all even if the agency scolds him, Leona will not lie to her fans. Because Leona loves her fans.

"Well, as a fan of Leona, am I also loved by Leona hehe" Hendra chuckled.

A green chip shaped like a fish scale inside the VR helmet glowed brightly.

Mind is a powerful place, there is a saying goes everything you think strongly will become reality. But what if your mind is not your own? what if inside your mind there are beings that can influence your judgment of the world? Make you think what they want you to think, make you feel what they want you to feel, and make you only see what they want you to see.

That's what happened to Hendra. He is a DID patient (Dissociative Identity Disorder). Inside his mind live someone who calls himself The Hypocrite. Because of him Hendra always feels like he is living inside a bleak-toned horror film. He makes Hendra assumes that the people around him have evil intentions to harm him.

At first, there is only The Hypocrite who lives inside his mind but something happens that makes new personalities born.

Percha Island Online is the world's first full-dive MMORPG. A game that comes from a very mysterious origin of the foreign world Nevergan Heaven Universe. A game that can make the soul of the player mutated to become something as powerful as a god!

When Hendra played it, he made his character into a cat girl of his dreams named Leona. However, unknowingly, Leona really came to life in Percha Island Online and became the third personality.

Leona's pervert-narcissistic-bird-mush-brain-catnip overdose cat (this term is according to The Hypocrite, and it will become longer as the stories go on) makes Hendra's life becomes more and more complicated. Girls who had never been present in life before became sights he kept seeing and the family he had always shunned before became so close that it made his chest constrict.

Not only that because of this, something that was locked up by The Hypocrite awakens. Something that holds a memory that holds secrets about Hendra's bloodline origin.

The Bloodline that is directly related to the alien invader is known as The Green One.
