Avid Gamer In The Apocalypse

CHAPTER 2

"

Mr. Daniel D. Davis." Everett read the name of the person who just downloaded his game, and he recognized the name instantly. The name DDD was very popular around the world because he created the game Blood Battlefield.

"Wait, DDD actually downloaded my game? My idol noticed my work and decided to give it a try!" Everett screamed out loud once again, and the people around him lost their cool and began to shout.

"Hey, shut up already!"

"Are you a lunatic or what?"

"What are you, 5?"

Everett ignored their words as his eyes were glued to his screen with a joyous look evident on his face, and at the same time, he felt nervous.

The one man that inspired him to create his own game three years ago had now downloaded his game and was about to give it a try.

"Oh my God. This is the best day of my life. But why do I feel so nervous?" Everett muttered as he glanced at his phone's screen.

His aim for opening the Eyeplay app in the first place was to delete his game from the app, but after seeing that someone, not just anyone, DDD, had just downloaded his game, he refused to delete it as planned.

"Haha, I must be feeling nervous because there is a chance he would be disappointed after playing the game and end up leaving a bad review. My game's graphics are pretty outdated, so I won't blame him if he doesn't like it." Everett mused as he placed his phone back in his pocket.

"But the fact that a man like him noticed my game is an achievement, and I don't mind staring at just three downloads for years, as long as I know that one of the downloads was from DDD." Everett grinned joyfully as the bus finally arrived, and everyone quickly rushed in.

The bus was packed with people, and most people didn't get a seat and had to stand. But Everett managed to find a seat at the extreme end of the bus and sat beside the window.

The bus began to move and drive the people to their various destinations. While sitting on the bus, Everett took out his phone and began to play the Aero game which he created.

Since he was the creator, he knew every enemy's weakness and knew exactly how to complete every level. The game was an RPG survival game where the players had to survive several tough missions and also level up and unlock skills and attributes.

While playing the game right where he sat, a notification entered his phone, and he had to pause the game to look at the notification.

"He left a review." Everett gulped after glancing at the notification that said DDD left a review. Everett hesitated to click on the notification as he was afraid it might be a bad review.

But he finally summoned the courage and clicked on it.

"A nice game with interesting and captivating missions."

The review was quite simple and easy to understand. But even if the review was brief, it made Everett's blood pump with joy, and his eyes widened.

"He loved it? Wow!" Everett exclaimed as he kept on reading the review countless times to make sure he didn't read it wrongly. "A man like DDD actually loved my game?"

Everett couldn't believe all what was happening right now, and it all seemed surreal to him. If someone had told him that DDD, the creator of Blood Battlefield would d******d his game and love it months ago, he would have slapped the person really hard on the face.

"I need to reply. What should I say? What should I say?" Everett contemplated as he kept tapping his foot on the floor.

"I'll just say, 'Thank you, sir. Also, I really love your game, sir. You are my idol. You inspired me to create this game, and I will forever be grateful for that.'" Everett typed in the reply and sent it.

After sending the reply, he sat there with thoughts of joy for a few minutes before resuming his game.

He played the Aero game for several more minutes as the bus kept driving him through the highway, and as he played, another notification entered.

"He replied again." Everett smiled as he hurriedly clicked on it. "Thank you. That means a lot. Also, I would like us to meet and discuss collaboration. What do you say?"

Everett read the reply and couldn't control himself anymore as he screamed at the top of his lungs out of joy, and the passengers in the bus yelled at him, and some even threw garbage at him.

"A collaboration with Blood Battlefield? Are you kidding me?" Everett exclaimed with looks of disbelief.

"Am I dreaming right now or is all this actually real?" Everett couldn't help but pinch himself to affirm he wasn't dreaming, and he also slapped himself across the face.

"Okay, okay, relax." Everett took a deep breath in and out to calm himself down. "I need to act professional. If he seeks a collaboration with me, that means he saw potential in me. Wow."

Throughout these years, no one downloaded his game, and Everett assumed the game was trash and no one would want to waste time downloading such trash.

But with what just happened now, DDD telling him the game was actually good made him realize he had created a masterpiece.

"Okay, sir. I would like to link up with you and discuss this collaboration." Everett finally sent out a reply after a few minutes of contemplation.

It took nothing less than one minute before Everett received an address from DDD.

"Come to my company located at Peak Town, I will be there waiting for you."

"Peak Town is pretty far from where I currently stay, and it will cost a lot just to get there. But as long as I will be going there to meet DDD, I will seek means to get there." Everett bellowed.
