Virtual Sword God!

After the training session was done. Tom thanked Novis for allowing him to see him train. He gave many compliments to the young Novis. Just as Tom was about to leave, he stopped by the door and asked,

"That long sword of yours, do you know where your grandpa got it from?"

"I'm not sure, to be honest, all I know is it's been in my family for generations now. If you want to buy it my grandfather would say no. I already tried to sell it."

"It would be a waste to sell something as precious as that. Look after it well Novis." Tom smiled and then waved Novis goodbye.

"He was a bit strange, wasn't he?"

As Tom walked off Arthur couldn't help but stare at him.

"Is something wrong Arthur?"

Arthur suddenly snapped out of it and replied "It's fine I'm just thinking too much. Let's get some rest."

Arthur didn't say anything to Novis because he wasn't sure himself. But he had a feeling that when Tom was watching Novis practise he was also looking straight at him. But so far it was impossible for other humans to see him. Arthur just thought it was a coincidence. That was until Tom talked about the sword. Maybe Novis didn't think anything of it but the man clearly knew the sword was special. Could Tom see him after all? Arthur thought to himself.

A week had passed since the incident between Tom and Novis, Although Arthur now allowed Novis to play the game. Novis still hadn't touched a VR machine. Novis was simply too afraid of what might happen. He didn't even know if his real-life skills would translate to the game.

As Novis was resting in his room, he heard the doorbell go downstairs. Novis mum answered the door and two delivery men were standing outside with a huge Van parked on the street.

"Is this the resident of Novis Talen?"

"A yes that's my son, his upstairs."

"Novis! You have a delivery."

Novis was slightly confused, he didn't remember ordering anything. But he didn't mind getting free stuff if someone had put his name down by accident. Novis rushed down the stairs as his mother signed a few papers.

"What is it mum?"

"These men said they have a delivery for you, they just went back to the van to go and get it."

Novis's mum then handed Novis a piece of paper with the details. Novis was surprised to see who it was sent from. It was from Tom. Novis thought this must be Tom's thank you gift for saving him. Novi's eyes started to sparkle as he wondered what on earth it could be.

As Novis was watching the delivery men get out of the van he got even more excited. They were currently carrying a huge box the size of a sofa.

"Wow! What on earth is it, it's huge!" Novis shouted.

Bill then came down the stairs wondering what all the fuss was about.

"What's going on?" Billy said rubbing his eyes.

Just then the two men came in holding the large box.

"Where would you like this?"

"My rooms upstairs, the first one on the left."

The two men quickly went up the stairs and put the package next to Novis's bed. Luckily for Novis, his room was just big enough to fit the thing in. It was good that his room was empty of things in the first place.

"What is it?" bill asked.contemporary romance

"I don't know?" Novis replied.

The two men then started to unpack the box and assemble the device. As soon as bill saw what it was, his eyes grew twice the size and started to sparkle.

"You got given a Goldware capsule!" Bill shouted.

"What's that?" Novis knew what a capsule was but Bill seemed incredibly excited.

"This isn't just any capsule, this is from Goldware corp, the same company that makes the VSW game. It's a top of the line capsule that cost a fortune. Only the top of the top pros have this."

Once Novis knew how much it was worth, he too was amazed. He couldn't believe that Tom really did stay true to his word.

The two men finished assembling the capsule and left the room. Bill quickly couldn't help but admire the capsule. It had a smooth modern design. White in colour with a golden trim outline. The inside of the capsules was insulated with the softest materials known to earth. Bill Sniffed in the Air around the capsule, then quickly turned towards Novice.

"What the hell did you do to get something like this?"

Novis laughed nervously

"I just helped some random guy who was the developer of the game, he said he would return the favour but I didn't expect this."

"You must have saved a 1000 orphan kids or something to get this!"

Novis could see Bill's excitement

"Why don't you have a go?"

"Really!"

Bill didn't have to be asked twice. He quickly got into the capsule and booted up a game. The capsule really was state of the art technology. As Bill was playing the game a hologram projector would shoot out from the capsule, allowing Novis to see everything that Bill was doing.

After fifteen minutes Bill had won the game and the capsule cover started to slide off. Bill got out of the capsule. He was silent the whole time while he walked towards Novis's door. Just before leaving he looked at Novis.

"Bro, you better get good at the game, otherwise that thing is just wasted on you."

Bill then quickly closed the door and left.

"So are you going to play a game?" Arthur asked.

"Not just yet, hey I know why don't you play a game, maybe then it will get me into the mood."

Arthur didn't say anything but was slightly worried for Novis, He thought that Novis would be itching to play a game. But Novis still kept up with his training every day so he was wondering what was holding him back. If Arthur could play a few games and light a fire back in him, then he was happy too.

"Sure, let's give it a shot."

As Novis entered the capsule. He felt his whole body sink into it. It was much better than any bed he had ever felt. When he logged on as pendragon he was surprised at what he was seeing.

"What is all this?!"
