Business Gamer 소설 & 이야기

I met his gaze squarely and said coldly, “You know that she’s my girlfriend too, huh?” I took out my phone and showed him a hotel billing statement, and it was billed to the supplementary card I had set for Naomi. “You can’t even pay for your own hotel room to sleep with another woman? You should earn enough money for a vasectomy instead.”

There were hundreds, even thousands of them, and every single one was full of insults aimed at me. "We trusted you!" "You were the one who told us to keep fighting, and now you turn around and take money from the Romano Famiglia!" "You promised that you would help us, so what's the meaning of this?" In that instant, a heavy silence settled over the office. I stared at the screen for a few moments before lowering the tablet. Dante hadn't changed at all. He would simply upend the chessboard if he found himself unable to control the match. I raised my head, speaking with a clarity that ensured everyone present could hear.

"Why should I? I have girls dropping at my feet. You did too once...that was before you made yourself unavailable." I scoff even though I know he has a point but Bex showed me that there's more to life than just playing the field. I got lucky with her, hit gold really. When I met Bex, I stopped wanting other women. "You'll never change," I tell him and shake my head, disappointed. "I thought it was just a phase in high school but I was wrong. You're a player. It's your identity." "And your identity is held in one person, Bex," he retorts, not bothered by my comment. In fact, he's proud of it.

After all, it was safer to avoid these kinds of situations rather than fighting back and getting seriously hurt. But that flame in her wouldn’t go away. In fact, it flared up when she heard that this was one of Nightmare’s goons. Nightmare was the callsign of one of the many griefers who played Bellum Aeterna. He and his wholly demented gang of griefers very often harassed and killed other players, wherever they went. They never helped anyone, or even engaged in actual, proper PVP. They just went around and randomly ganged up on people just to get them angry. All because it brought them great enjoyment to do so.

My stomach tilts, but I don’t know why. It’s Damien. He’s a businessman. Of course, he bets on everything. I mean, it makes sense, right? He has more money than God, so why shouldn’t he throw some of it at sports? It’s not illegal for him to gamble on games, especially since he’s not the one playing.

It serves as his reminder of why he’s trying so hard, practicing every day, trying out different guns and strategies, lahat iyon ay ginagawa niya. He and his clan can’t afford to lose. Kung para sa iba ay simpleng kompetisyon lamang ito, para sa kanya, buhay niya na ang nakasasalay dito. He’ll become a professional gamer and earn more money to support himself and prove to his family that he isn’t just playing games all day. Na may mararating siya sa paglalaro. That e-sports is an industry, that his gaming can actually take him somewhere.

Pyramus's voice always sounded like that on the phone. "Ibrahim here. We have followed our charge to the Paramount hotel. He is now in deep conversation with one of the waitresses here." "Which one is that?" "Beatrice." "Beatrice? Have we used her before? Do I know of her?" "You wouldn't know her per se. She is one of the waitresses in the casino. We have never used her before." " If we have never used her before, why are you worrying? Why did you call?"

" Yuna totally ignored Nari's statement, so did we. It wasn't in our place to intervene in their trifle unless it was needed. Although our silence served as a bit of a slow burn to Nari. "A girl gamer? Pfft!. An expert in temple run perhaps you tried it out for a day and concluded. Contradicting its name, gaming isn't all games; it requires time, commitment, discipline and skill and that's a lot of working investment in it. You can't keep up with that!" "Are you saying a woman can't be a gamer?" I asked genuinely, getting pissed off by his ego. "Don't get me wrong. But you should know it's true that…" Dal tried to mansplain what he had said.

He probably had a bit of a good rest, which pleased Noah. The boy joined Jess and Isaac, and they began their video gaming battle. Haru always lost though, and he quickly quit before Hayden took over and beat the crap out of everyone. What did one expect from the young CEO of the HG Game Inc.? He and Darcy, his younger brother, ran the gaming company together, and Noah heard it had a turnover of in the millions annually. What a family of talents, eh? They must be raking in a shitload of money daily.

There is no way. She looked at his face, hoping to find anything that will help her. His face was cold, stern. Green eyes were focused on the cards; nothing else mattered. Only the cards and the win... in his eyes there was something that reminded her of a tiger. He took only one card from his hand, and placed it on the unit field. Her mouth opened wide, the card was a vampire. With only one card he has defeated her, a seasoned Gamer player. The cards one by one fell from her hand onto the table. He lowered his hand, then, she found out that all of his cards were different elements; fire was nowhere to be seen.
