World Online

The fight lasted an hour. An hour of shouting at each other later, Lydia finally calmed down.

"Go back to your room. All of you. And if I find out that you have been doing anything else… I will whoop you so bad, you will forget what your own name was." She snarled at him before storming away.

Jake was just frozen still. This was not what he had expected to happen, at all.

"Shit. If she finds out what happened with Michael and everything, then she will go nuclear. To behave like this, she really has gone crazy, hasn't she?" Jake shook his head with disbelief.

"Was this how you got a hold of that thing of me? That Epic Class?" Peter came up to Jake and asked.

"Well… yeah?" Jake shrugged. Explaining how he came across a secret realm, and managed to find this all, it was a pain to corroborate.

Better just blame it all on the guild.

"Wow. What kind of guild is Bright Horizon. I remember hearing about it last month or something, but I never really checked. Maybe I should take a look." Peter muttered.

"Dad." Jake called out before Peter left.

"What?" Peter was calm, at the least, and that was to Jake's comfort.

"Can you please not look into Bright Horizon. I was not joking. It is best that our identities remain private. The guild that I am running, it might even enter the big leagues soon enough. This is the best time for me to do that." Jake said.

"And can you talk to mother. Please see what she is really worried about. I mean, she went absolutely ballistic for no reason." Jake said.

"You have worse things to worry about than your guild, Jake." Peter shook his head.

"Your mother might not have found out, but that doesn't mean that I am an absent father. Did you really think that I would not know you are making Micheal skip classes?" Peter glanced at Michael, who was sitting silently on the table's corner.

Jake's and Michael's eyes went wide open.

"I didn't tell him brother! I swear!" Michael immediately said.

"Aizzz" Peter shook his head.

"You better take him back to school. If your mom finds out, then she will kill you. Definitely." Peter sighed and said.

"Wait. Why are you not to worried about it?" Jake asked, confused.

"Do you really think that kids these days need to know how to factor polynomials or something? What are they going to do with the quadratic equation in a world where everything is out to get us?" Peter said.

"You will have to hope to god that she never finds out though." Peter shuddered just thinking about it.

Jake paused for a moment.

"By the way, how is the whole class thing going? Are you able to manage it? Are you able to level up?" Jake asked.

"Calm down, Jake. I think I can handle myself. Do you think that we would ever face a problem with a game like this? We are from the generation that made the VRMMORPG great. We are the people that you should actually be worried about." Peter shook his head and smiled.

"Don't worry. I will reach Tier 2 very soon. What about you? How is your game going?" Peter asked.

"I am holding through. And making some money while I'm at it. At this rate, very soon, I should be able to upgrade to Star One." Jake smiled and said.

"Do you really need to do that? The place we have right now is fine." Peter shook his head.

"Trust me father. Just because the game is occupying all of our time, doesn't mean we are not at war with the forces outside. The entire world is retaliating against humans right now. We will never be safe. We have to go to star one." Jake said.

The memories of his past life, and the deaths that he had faced, all haunted him.

"Fine. Your house, upto you. But Michael, you are going back to school, and that is final." Peter snarled at Michael and turned around to leave the room.

"Brother, do I really have to go back to school?" Michael looked at Jake with eyes so wide that they could melt anyone.

But not Jake.

"You are eleven. You are a big boy now. Stop resorting to that thing you're doing." Jake said.

"Please brother. Master promised to take me hunting soon enough. I am already in level twenty, and if I can hunt a little more, I can get to thirty and get my tier ascension as well!" Michael said.

"You are at level twenty? That is interesting." Jake mused.

But it was still not enough to convince Jake if it was worth getting into so much trouble.

"You know what? I will go ask your master about this later. But for the next week or two, you are going to have to go to school anyways." Jake said, shaking his head.

"There are a few things that is going to make The Roman Empire, Bright Horizon, Phoenix Dawn, and The Wolf's Den very, very chaotic." Jake said, smiling.

"Go back to school. I will check on you a little everyday. But this has taken too much time off of my day. Right now, I have to go back to the game." Jake said.

"If you force me to go back, I will tell on you. I will tell mom that you made me go somewhere else instead of school." Michael suddenly said.

Jake froze, but instead of getting angry, he smiled.

"Interesting, Michael. Are you really going to do that?" He said, raising his eyebrows.

"Fine then. Do that. I want to see if you are willing to do that. Tell mom that you haven't been to school in a month, and lets see who is the one who is going to suffer the most." Jake said.

"You.. This is just not fair!" Michael stomped off, and Jake remained alone in the kitchen.

"Damn it. Now, I have to rush back to the game. I hope that everyone has some good news waiting for me though."
