Prologue Chapter Part 2

The e-sports tower. Home base for all things e-sports. From Shooters to Fighting games, even Rhythm and strategy games all come from this very building which stands over 12 stories tall. The E-sports organization has assigned special organizers for each genre of games, one of these Organizers was Tom an Organizer and Team manager of all teams. And in his office, a young man barges into the room wearing a face mask and glasses.

Tom: "Ah, Zer0! Congratulations on getting another MVP, what could I do for you this time?"

Zer0: "I wanna Quit!"

Tom: *shocked* "Y-You can't be serious!?"

Zer0 slammed his E-sports I.D and Resignation Form down on Tom's desk with a blank expression in his eyes.

Zer0: "Serious as a heart attack"

Tom: "All your achievements, a-and all of those trophies. You're just gonna throw that all away?"

Zer0: *deadpan* "Dude, I'm in my 20s now. I've been playing games since I was 6, I need a job"

Tom: "Gaming is your job"

Zer0: "I have other plans too, and having tons of years in gaming doesn't do much for my resume"

Tom: "That's okay...I'll just give you a retirement slip and then we could-"

Zer0: "No...I. QUIT"

Tom: *sigh* "You do realize when you quit entirely. We'll discard EVERYTHING that you've done, every achievement, every highlight. You will never exist in E-sports ever again, please reconsider"

Zer0: *leans close* "I made up my mind"

Zer0 then turned away as Tom watches as he made his way towards the door and exit his office. Once Zer0 closed the door, Tom sighed exhaustedly before reaching for his telephone and calling his secretary.

Secretary: "Yes sir?"

Tom: "Destroy everything we have on our best player and take down everything relating to him. Zer0 no longer exists"

The secretary hesitates before acknowledging his command and begins tearing down everything about Zer0. In the player dormitory, Zer0 is seen packing the last of his belongings in his suitcase before taking one last look around his room.

Zer0: "I guess that's everything *sigh* I'm gonna miss this"

Zer0 then closed his suitcase and pulls up the handle, before pushing it alongside him as he begins leaving the facility. He walks down the multiple hallways and sees some of the E-sports workers taking down pictures and banners relating to him. He greets some of the helpers as they wave back or nod before continuing with their duties.

Zer0 then took the elevator down to the lobby, he stands in the elevator quietly, taking his glasses and cleaning them before placing them back on his eyes. Just as the door opened, confetti sticks popped along with a banner with the words "Thank you, Master". Zer0 was treated to a sight of his former teammates along with a few other E-sports staff.

Everyone: "Thank you for all the fun memories!!"

Zer0: "What's all this?"

Mcdervy: "You didn't think you would just walk out without a proper goodbye didn't you?"

Sweet_Keeks: "We got the chance to experience what it feels to get champions"

Alph@: "We couldn't do any of it without you"

Gen0cyde: "And so that we thank you"

Teammates: "Thank you for all you've done!"

Staff #1: "Thanks for the highlights that you've made for us"

Staff #2: "We'll always remember you as the best player ever"

Staff: "Thank you for your time in E-sports"

Zer0: "Thanks, everyone. I best get going"

Alph@: "Come on, won't you stick around a bit longer? There's free food"

Zer0: "...Did you just say two of my favorite F words?"

Zer0's teammates grin happily as Mcdervy grabbed Zer0 in a headlock and went on to eat at a restaurant to have a farewell party. A few drinks and good times later it had come to an end. 

Zer0's teammates see him off at the bus stop as he hops on with his luggage. He placed his luggage above him and took a seat next to the window. The bus door closes before departing, Zer0 looks out the window and sees his teammates catching up to the bus and wave towards him before finally seeing him off as the bus picked up its speed.

Zer0 then took off his mask and adjusts his glasses before leaning on the window.

Zer0: *thought* "This is it, finally out of that place"

Zer0 yawned as he stretches in his chair before getting comfortable with one thing in his mind.

"I wonder if I could get a girlfriend this year" 


A few months later

It is a snowy sunny day and inside a fast-food restaurant, A woman is complaining no stop about her order to a man behind the cashier with disheveled brown hair and glasses hiding his tired caramel eyes. 

Woman: "And don't get me started with the ice cream, I paid an extra $3.25 for a medium that is just goop!"

Man: "Ma'am, this is a Gregory's. You're lucky that the ice cream machine made something at all"

Woman: *gasp* "The attitude...I want to speak to the manager this instant!"

A young woman with a slightly different uniform than the man in the cash register butted in with a forced smile.

Manager: "Hi, sorry about my colleague. I'm afraid he wasn't informed that the ice cream machine was still under maintenance, would you like a free coupon for a free burger meal upon your next visit?"

Woman: "No thank you, with this fiasco, I think I won't ever come back"

The woman then walked out of the restaurant dissatisfied as the Manager turned towards the man behind her and shot a fiery glare at him.

Manager: "Break room...NOW!"

The door then slammed shut as the tired cashier worker slouched down on his chair tiredly as the Manager paced around the room frustratingly.

Manager: "Unbelievable, this is the 3rd time this week. If this keeps up we'll both get fired because of your stupid recklessness"

Man: "Why does it have to be the both of us? If they are unhappy about my performance, then fire me. You don't have to stick your head out for me"

Manager: "But I can't just kick away someone who just got hired for a job, let alone my BROTHER!"

Man: "Aww...so you do care"

Manager: "When are you gonna start taking things seriously, Kevin?"

Kevin: "Hey, I'm trying my best alright?"

The man, now known as Kevin, stretches his back before placing both of his arms on the table beside him and uses his arms as a pillow.

Kevin: "Those customers are just so mentally tasking. how are you able to do this so efficiently, Trixie?"

Trixie: "Well if you must know, It was all through my years spent dealing with the likes of you every day!"

She then placed both of her hands on her hips as she leans down to get face to face with Kevin, who only gave an innocent smile.

Kevin: "I love you too~"

Trixie: "I can't believe that my brother, so-called 'The Greatest Gamer alive' is still such a slob"

Kevin: "Is that so hard to believe? I mean, I am sitting right here"

Kevin "Zer0" Gatsby

Age: 24     Hair color: Brown      Eye color: Caramel 

Relatives: 

- Trixie Gatsby (Sister)

"Formerly The World's Greatest Gamer"


Trixie Gatsby

Age: 20      Hair color: Brown       Eye color: Caramel 

Relatives:

- Kevin Gatsby (Brother)

"Brother to the former World's Greatest Gamer"

Trixie: "Whatever...come on, my shift's finally over"

Kevin: "Cool, hey when does my shift end?"

Trixie: "Oh, your shift ended hours ago"

Kevin: "What!? Why didn't you tell me? I could've just walked the way the second the lady entered the store?"

Trixie: "If I did then you wouldn't accompany your sweet innocent little sister~"

Kevin: *scoff* "Sweet and innocent, yeah right" 

Trixie: "Okay! You didn't have to be a jerk about it"

The brother and sister then went to their separate locker rooms and changed into their winter clothes before walking out of their workplace, holding an extra-large drink that they didn't pay for. 

Trixie: "Alright, If you're gonna live with me we have to set some ground rules"

Kevin: "Mh-hmm"

Trixie: "Rule #1: No being lazy, I'm not gonna let you stay and have double the chores to do. You have to do your share of responsibilities. Got it?"

Kevin: *distracted-affirmative hum*

Trixie: "Rule #2: No videogames in the house, I've spent years without your loud videogames keeping me up and managing to get a healthy sleeping schedule in order. And I WILL NOT let you ruin it"

Kevin: *distracted-affirmative hum*

Trixie: "And finally Rule #3: Anything that you want to add to my house must have my permission and approval. It's my house, my rules. Am I clear?"

Kevin: *Distracted hum*

Trixie looks back at her brother, only to see him staring blankly in front of him as he steadily sips on his drink

Trixie: "You didn't hear a word I said, didn't you?"

Kevin: "I honestly stop listening when you said 'ground rules' "

Trixie: *sigh* "Just...don't piss me off and help out around the house once in a while"

Kevin: "Got it"

Kevin and Trixie then fell silent, quietly taking a stroll in the snowy streets with Trixie sharing some occasional gossip. As Trixie was sharing a story about her job, Kevin abruptly stops as he spots something to his right. 

Trixie looked beside her only to see her brother not present. She looks behind her and sees Kevin distracted by something, Trixie walks towards him and looks in the direction he's facing. She was met by a very packed arcade filled with teenagers playing games.

Kevin: "You know we never got to play games together ever since we were kids"

Trixie: "That's because we're adults now, we got other things to worry about like what are we going to eat later. Plus, games these days are targeted more towards younger audiences"

Kevin: "well age doesn't matter as long as you're having fun, right?"

Trixie: "Suit yourself,  I'll go head on home then. I don't have time to entertain your ideas right now"

 Kevin: "I guess you have a point, can't have me adding another point on the scoreboard. What was it again? 36 - 24 ?"

Trixie: "It's 28!! You're not that good"

Kevin: "Uhh...I'm pretty sure I am"

Trixie: "In your dreams, maybe!"

Kevin: "Is that so? You gotta prove me wrong?"

Trixie: "You bet your sweet little ass I do, Come on!"

Kevin: *chuckle* "Still too easy"

Trixie: *distant* "Come on you slow turd! Loser buys dinner for the whole week!"

Kevin: *grin* "Prepare to lose your payday then
