Game Over, NPCs
My son, Kaden Watt, shouted at me menacingly, “I don’t have to pretend anymore! I bet you didn’t know that I could hear your conversations with the System. I never once thought of you as my father. Every bit of it was an act. A man that desperate makes me sick.”
My wife, Silvia Watt, walked in with her true love, her affectionate eyes reflecting hostility.
“If it weren’t for fear of the System punishing Simon Bartone, I would’ve filed for divorce a long time ago.
My son doesn’t deserve a spineless man for a father. Watch yourself, or I’ll come after you.”
The trio stood there, as if they had their perfect ending.
I curled my lips.
Well, who was to say that I wasn’t acting too?
A player in a game could never fall in love with NPCs.
