Rich & Wicked

Act 2 : Episode 1 - The New Game

I opened my eyes and lift myself up panting heavily and realize that cruel nightmare visited me again. My clothes feel stuffy, I was soaked with sweat. I gulped and rest my face on my right hands.

I checked my phone to see the time. It was 3 in the morning. Butler Ko must have brought me here. I took of my wet shirt and tried to breathe slowly.

I got up from bed and poured a glass of water. I opened the compartment to get my medicine. I took three pills and drank some water. Few seconds later, I can now relax and was breathing fine.

I went to the bathroom and washed my face. I look at the mirror as water drips on my wet hair. I see a man who can't even face his own fears, he was a coward and has no will to fight back. I hate this bastard staring at me.

I went to my room dresser to change my clothes and went back to bed. I pushed the service button and a servant immediately knocks.

*knock* *knock* *knock*

"Come in", I said.

The servant went inside and bows his head, "What can I do for you Master Shin", the servant said.

"Please get me a cup of coffee and two slice of bread", I ordered.

"Right away Master Shin", the servant said as he bow his head then left.

I layed my head on the pillow and I felt something hard on my bed. I got up to see what it is. It was the bracelet I cherish the most. I wore it on my right hand and layed back. I lift up my hands to see and touch the bracelet to. I feel so relax just by looking at it.

The servant came back to serve me the things I requested. He puts the tray on the side table and bows his head.

"Is there anything you need, Master Shin?"

"No, you can go", the servant bows his head then left.

I bit a little piece od bread and took a sip of coffee.

I got up from my bed to open up the game cosole as I was eating my bread. I turned on the tv and took the game console then went back to bed.

After a few minutes of playing, I immediately got bored, I dropped the console and look at my shaking hands. I was hungry for an insane game of satisfaction again. I can't help it, getting satisfaction is like a drug to me, Ill get weak both physically and mentally if I don't get the satisfaction I wanted. The hunger just became more active, I must play a game that goes into level of insanity. That's it, I will play a game in an extreme difficulty.

I took my laptop and wrote down the things possible for my new game.

*knock* *knock* *knock*

"Master Shin, are you awake", Butler Ko said behind door.

I didn't realize that the sun was already shining bright outside the window. I checked on the time and it was almost eight in the morning.

"Come in", I relplied.

Butler Ko went inside, "Good Morning, Master Shin", he said as he bows his head. I nodded my head in response as I still continued working on the laptop.

"You look terrible, Master Shin. It seems you didn't sleep well last night"

"I woke up very early and decided to plan a whole new game"

"Yes, you did mention leveling up your next game after you cut off Lee Chun Ho's string"

"Yeah, I need to go farther Butler Ko. My appetite is growing and I can't stop the hunger"

"I see, just let me know if you need anything else. Your coffee will be delivered soon I will be taking some things for a moment"

"Okay, you can go"

Butler Ko bows his head then left.

I was smiling like crazy as I continued writing, I can alreadt imagine the new game I am about to create, "Ahahaha, I am finally done, let the games begin!", I press enter and the file was sended to Chan Yu.

I smirk with grim as I feel the upcoming game that will definitely cover my hunger.

[CHAN YU POV]

*Red Alert the Devil has send you a message* (4x)

I woke up to the sound of my ringing phone. I immediately pick my phone uo cause this message can be more impotant than my girlfriend.

He sended me a file and wonder what it is. I took my laptop and opened the file then read the context, "Is this the new game, he was talking about? He said he will level it up but I didn't expect thay it would be this extreme?! This guy has a loose screw on his head, this is too much", the frustration emits inside my body.

*red alert, very important call*

I picked up my phone and Jin was calling me, "Hey, Jin. Good Morning"

"Yeah, yeah did you receive the file?"

"Yes, I already checked it. Are you seriously sure about this? This is ridiculously insane you know?"

"Chan, you don't know me? I am Shin Jin ya. I can take on every extreme challenges and win them all!"

"Sigh, All right, you are the almighty Shin Jin after all. This type of game is easy peezy for you"

"Prepare everything in one week"

"Got it, this will be fun for me too"

"Great see you in next week"

"See yah", Jin hanged uo the phone and I layed in my bed thinking what I should do first.

I sended the file to Min Min ans she replied immediately,"Good Morning Sir Chan"

"Good Morning, I sended you a file, please check it out right away"

"Okay sir, please wait a moment"

After a few minutes she called back, "Sir Chan, Master Shin is really something isn't he? Taking this will be really difficult", she said.

"I know right? Jin is crazy for taking on something like this"

"But if Master say he will do it, he will really do it. He doesn't step back for what he already chosen

"Yeah, Jin isn't the one you can persuade with. He sticks to hiis decision till the end"

"Don't worry Sir Chan, I know Master Shin can pull this off. He won't start this if he isn't sure enough to consder that he can take it"

"You are right, the decision is already made and we cannot do anything about it. Call all the staff and tell them about this. Everyone must be on the lair at exactly 10. See you"

"Yes Sir, see you later", I hang up the phone and immediately getting ready.

[SHIN JIN POV]

I already took a shower and getting ready to go to my workplace. I fix my hair in the mirror and fix my tie. Handsome and Hot as always.

"Is my mask ready?", I ask Butler Ko.

"Yes, Master Shin. Her it is", Butler Kk hands out the well designed mask.

I took the mask and inspect it. It was a golden wood like texture carved into a shape of a fierce lion.

I wear mask everytime I go to my workplace, people find me weird and say various things about it. They said I am too handsome to be seen by the public, they said I have social anxiety, they said I was a wanted criminal and worst of all I am an evil person who do horrible things to people.

Well, they are right about the first and the last part but the truth about hiding my identity is just because I wanted to look mysterious.

"Let's go", I said to Butler Ko as I left my room then Butler Ko followed me.

Butler Ko opened the car door for me, "Please be well, Master Shin", Butler Ko hands out something.

I took it and it was the bracelet, "Please bring it everytime from now, it is your only protection", he said as he bow his head.

"Sure, thank you Butler Mo", I smiled.

"Then, see you later Master Shin"

"Go now", I said to the driver.

"Yes, Master Shin", the driver replied and the car has start running.

I wore the bracelet and smiled as I look at it. I suddenly remember the lapel I got yesterday. I want to wear it so I called Butler Ko, "Hello, Butler Ko. Please bring the lapel pin I bought yesterday to my office please", I asked him.

"Kindly check your coat pocket Master Shin", I searched my coat pocket and took something, it was the lapel pin.

Butler Ko already knew that I will ask about it, "Thanks, Butler Ko"

"It is a pleasure to serve yoy Master Shin", I hanged up.

I stick the lapel pin on my chest and wore my mask, I feel so complete and relax. I close my eyes and took a short nap.
