"Finally got you." Jake smirked as he looked at the legendary goddess of temple Ak-roh playing card.
"Man!Are limited edition hard to find" his excitement soon turned a little sad when he noticed that the code printed on the back didn't work. So much time and money just going down the drain.
He skipped school, played for eight hours straight the night of his early semester exams and was about to spend almost 100$ had he not found out that the company had collaborated with a chips brand.
The initiative was to sell limited edition flavours with promo codes printed on the back that could boost exp upto level 57.
If he could somehow win it all it wouldn't be long until he became the richest man on the eastern seaboard.
Sadly, the price of one packet was enough to make any man cry. Jake started refreshing the page on his phone shaking nervously. His face finally relaxed when a blue chest appeared at the screen asking for his user id and password along with the promo code.
He was about to press the button but noticed the error in just the nick of time.
The screen displayed a message, "Congratulations!Please restart the game to view your present!"
Jake did just that and was about to burst into flames when he finally saw it."One? That's it? One f-king level? " He burst into flames as he threw his phone on his bed.
Tears trickled out of his eyes as he recalled everyone, his mom, his friends, his teacher calling it a waste of time and money."I'll never be able to meet her "He pushed a pillow onto his face and looked at the poster on his wall from a corner of his eye.
Jake-
"I'm sorry i can't be a pro like you" he stared at XXXXXX, an upcoming live streamer that broke the world record for completing a 12-hour game in one stream.
"Better get ready for school "he sulked to himself dragging himself of his bed.
Fifteen minutes later, he came out of his room in a red t-shirt and skinny jeans, looking ready for school.Only thing he couldn't change was the look on his face.He came down to the kitchen to grab a quick glass of water when he heard a doorbell."I thought it didn't work.Maybe mom got it fixed"he reassured himself as he went to open the door.
"What the-" he said, confused by the bizarre scenario. No one at the door, no one in the street,no car going past his house, heck not even a pigeon was in sight.
"Stupid pranksters"he started to close the door when he noticed it.
A simple white envelope, lying on the shabby doormat. He picked it up only to see nothing written on it.No sender's address, recipient's name, nothing.
He went inside, closing the door behind him."Shouldn't I give this to mom? " he questioned himself.
Curiosity got the best of him as he opened it.Nothing big was inside it. He turned it upside down and a card fell out of it onto the floor.
He picked it up and was confused to see something printed on it.
"A solution to all your problems." He turned it around and started reading aloud "The almighty number"
"786-777-1234" He burst into laughter and nearly fell to the floor."What a nut job!"He wanted to throw it away but decided against it."I got the perfect idea" he smirked as he devised a plan to prank his mom with it."Lets see if she actually does call the number " He put it in his pocket and went to school.
