White Online

White Paradise was a beautiful city, surrounded by a clear icy lake, and the buildings were made of beautiful blue and white marbles. Snow is covering the ground and the buildings, making the scene mesmerizing.

The Legacy Company Headquarters hasn't stopped working even once. The building had lights on 24/7, and the workers have seen entering the building, but rarely did anyone leave.

The citizens could only look with awe and respected faces as the Company that is changing the world is located in their City!

Also, the most influential figures in the world are currently staying on that building right at this moment!

The top floor of the Legacy Company Headquarters has three rooms. One is the one with thousands of screens, the second one is Arthur's office, and the third one is the meeting room.

Currently, the meeting room is crowded with people.

In the main seat of the massive table, which could fit hundreds of people, a handsome middle-aged man with black hair was sitting peacefully while drinking a cup of coffee.

All the seats of the table were filled, while hundreds more people were standing, most of them were servants or assistants of the men and women at the table.

Arthur put the cup of coffee on the table and opened his mouth, ''I am glad everyone could make it with such short notice.''

Everyone stayed silent and waited for Arthur to speak more about their purpose of being here.

''I am sure all of you are curious, why are you here, etc.''

Everyone in the room nodded.

''Well, first of all... You must have heard the update I am planning to release next week.''

Almost everyone nodded, while a few looked surprised.

One of the shocked ones was a man with short brown hair, grey eyes, and handsome facial features. He was wearing his usual business suit, giving him a look of dignity and sternness. He is Isaac's father, Maxwell.

'Second update already?!' Maxwell exclaimed in his mind. This morning when he reached his company, his secretary was already panicking, saying that he needed to be in White Paradise in 3 hours!

He managed to arrive just in time.

''I know most of you are waiting for your family members to make a Guilds, etc, before entering the game yourself, but next update will release the World Bank.''

''What?!'' A shocked voices came from almost everyone.

''That's right. Soon game currency can be converted into real-life money.'' Arthur crossed his arms and waited for the argument to start.

''This is madness! No one has prepared for this!''

''We didn't have time to do our preparations!''

''Cancel this update in this instant!''

They didn't see, but Arthur had a mocking smirk on his face.

Maxwell looked at the chaos with a shocked face, 'Is he... Is he trying to help poorer families to grow more?!'

A few others also saw through Arthur's schemes.

He is trying to make the preparations of the wealthier families utterly useless so that everyone will have same starting point in the game.

But richer families have money to spare, and that is a huge advantage, but now families with less wealth have much more to be gained!

'He is making himself the enemy of everyone!' Maxwell cried out.

Arthur listened with eyes closed, a slight smile on his handsome face.

''This is outrageous!'' An old man stood up with an enraged face. He had hunched back with a bald head. He could only stay standing with the help of his wooden cane.

''What is, Mister Souldeath?'' Arthur looked at the old man with narrowed eyes. This old man is one of the ones he is most wary of.

''What are you planning?!'' The old man screeched, ''Fate of Humanity is on the stake, and yet you are playing politics?! Are you crazy!''

Arthur snorted, 'Politics? Shameless old shit, I am trying to help the unfortunate ones while you guys want to control the game and gain money beyond your wildest fantasies.'

Arthur stood up and appeared in front of the old man.

Two muscular men appeared behind the old man. Both of them glared at Arthur, ready to cut him in pieces.

''Young generation is indeed foolish.'' The old man snorted. His height could barely reach Arthur's neck.

''This game is mine... The Gods have been very displeased with your family's actions during the Beta testing phase.'' Arthur said with a bone-chilling voice. A small golden aura appeared around him, making everyone look small like they were in front of an Apex Predator!

The old man didn't look afraid. He took a step forwards without any fear on his face, ''Gods need us.''

Arthur snorted, ''Senile fool, we need them!''

The old man gritted his teeth. He turned and stormed out of the meeting hall.

''Souldeath family... They are trouble.'' Arthur clicked his tongue and sat down on his seat, ''Any more questions?''

Everyone stayed silent, but then one voice was heard.

''Mister Welhenheim.'' A man with brown hair said and stood up.

Everyone turned their heads towards the unknown man with frowns. Not many recognized him.

''Maxwell, just call me Arthur. What is it?'' Arthur said with a smile. Maxwell is one of the few Arthur actually likes.

He had heard of Maxwell's company helping the poor folk. His actions made a significant impact on him.

''Are you planning to... Start selling the Mythical VR Helmets?'' His words made everyone very curious.

Arthur calmly smiled, ''Isn't it too early?''

Maxwell awkwardly smiled. He sat down and became silent.

''Good question, though.'' Arthur stood up and grabbed a box from the desk.

He put it on the table and opened it.

Everyone stood up and tried to peek at what was inside.

Arthur grabbed the item and showed it to everyone.

The VR Helmet was completely different from other Helmets so far. It was hard to be called a Helmet because it had only straps tied up in some kind of white visor.

Arthur put it on his head, but it only covered his eyes while leaving the rest of the head visible.

The white visor started glowing, and out of nowhere... A suit appeared around Arthur's body!

It was a black skinsuit, which covered every part of his body, except his head.

''This is... The Mythical VR Helmet, it helps to keep the body healthy and energetic. A player can keep playing as long they want! Hell, they could live inside the game if they wanted to. This VR Helmet will connect the real-life body with the real one, and eating inside the game will also affect the real body!''

Everyone became shocked, and some doubtful.

But then Arthur said, ''No worries. If you die inside the game, you won't die in real life. That would be nuts.''

Everyone sighed a relief.

Arthur took off the VR Helmet and looked at Maxwell with a smile.

''Maxwell, catch!'' He threw in the air, towards Maxwell!

''Ah!'' He clumsily caught it, almost dropped it.

''It's yours! Your son is playing right. Give it to him!'' Arthur grinned and sat down.

Everyone looked envious, but they didn't mind.

They will get one next week, and Maxwell apparently gives it to his son.

Why should they care if some nobody who won't succeed gets a Mythical VR Helmet which could increase the strength of the player by tenfold!

They would start another argument if actually some family with one of the Kings and Queens got hands on it, but Whitelock family is still somewhat known, and they are sure that no one in that family is even remotely close to being a Pro Player!

Maxwell looked at the VR Helmet and smiled, 'Isaac.... If you decide to keep playing, this will be yours.'
