Day Nineteen...

~~*****~~

Since Nathan grounded her, Abigail had no choice but to stay at home. She spent most of her time playing with Ethan. The young boy missed her so much, so he didn't leave her side for the whole day.

Abigail, on the other hand, was trying to ease her boredom. She was waiting for Nathan to summon her as he mentioned yesterday that they would meet Jun Shen today.

Abigail stayed in Ethan's playroom once again, just like what she did yesterday. The two were having bonding time together with Powy and Riemc.

The two robots could only watch Abigail and Ethan as they played an online game. Ethan let Abigail borrow one of his laptops while the young boy used his desktop.

The online game they were playing was the 'Battle Camp'. This was the new version of the online game Nathan was used to playing a long time ago– Mission XXX.

SYP Twilight Corp developed this new program, enhancing the online game Mission XXX. This was also Nathan's way of preserving the memories he had with Monica when they were still playing buddies– SizzlingAugust08 and Shining_Star.

Nathan was one of the game developers who enhanced this program. And it sold a lot in the market. Aside from producing high technologies and new inventions, SYP Twilight Corp also focused on developing and designing online games.

The SYP Twilight Corp was currently working on an important project called Virtual World: Global Battlefield. Ethan was helping Nathan in testing the features of the games. It was still in an early stage.

Nathan was planning to restore the characters of SizzlingAugust08 and Shining Star in Mission XXX, incorporating them into this Virtual World: Global Battlefield. He planned to launch this game on the third year anniversary of Monica's death, commemorating her. He even included Phantomflake as a character villain in the online virtual game.

,m As Abigail opened the laptop, she noticed the old app of Mission XXX on Ethan's laptop. She was put in a trance for several seconds. She had conflicting emotions as this app brought memories from the past. She felt nostalgic.

Abigail's strange reaction caught Ethan's attention. So he followed her line of sight. Then he found out that Abigail was looking at the older version of Battle Camp which was known as Mission XXX.

"Miss Abi, do you know how to play this game?" Ethan asked her. His question brought her back to the present.

Abigail smiled faintly and nodded her head. "Yes. I used to play this game during my teen years..."

"Do you want us to play this game today? This is the old version... I mean the original version of Battle Camp!" Ethan excitedly said. He once played this game together with his father, Nathan.

Sometimes, he would catch his father playing this game during his free time. Ethan had observed that playing this game was one way of relieving his father's stress.

"What role do you like to play in Mission XXX?" Ethan asked her innocently. Both of them clicked the app. Ethan used the computer desktop while Abigail used the laptop.

"I like playing the assassin role. How about you?" Abigail asked him back.

"I like being the Hitman!" Ethan said as he used the same character his Dad was using before.

Abigail fell silent for a moment as she was reminded of someone. Then a small smile crept up from the corners of her lips. 'A hitman... I knew someone who played as the strongest hitman on this server...'

"What is your player ID? I will add you," Abigail took a peek at Ethan's desktop screen.

Ethan didn't use his father's ID this time. He made his own player ID named Tegesu.

"Tegesu!" Ethan proudly said.

Abigail could only smile at his remarks. He seemed so excited to play this game and complete a mission together with her.

"How about you, Miss Abi? What player ID did you use?" Ethan also leaned to her side, checking her monitor.

"Cliste, that's my player ID. I chose a female assassin!" Abigail created a new account and she named it Cliste.

"Wow! Add me as your friend and ally!" Ethan cheerfully said, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

He was glad that Abigail also liked to play online games. He often competes with his Dad. But since Nathan had become busy, he could no longer play with him more often.

"Game on!" Ethan declared as the two created an alliance. They would do and accomplish missions together.

Before they started, Abigail and Ethan personalized and enhanced their characters by assigning weapons. Though Abigail used a new player ID, she equipped her character with the same weapons she was using when she was still using her old account.

All her equipment and weapons were similar to her old account. As she looked at her character, she couldn't help but smile. It had been so long since the last time she played this game. This game reminded her of her old friend.

'If he is alive... I wonder if he is still playing online games like this,' Abigail mumbled to herself.

Soon, Abigail and Ethan tried to complete missions together. They had to find the Mafia Boss and assassinate him. To accomplish this mission, they had to raid and infiltrate the Mafia's headquarters. Inside, they would face different challenges they should clear before facing off with the Mafia Boss and his elite men.

The Mafia Boss elite men were strong opponents with high HP. The two were so focused on clearing the challenges that they failed to notice that someone already entered the playroom.

Nathan came inside to check on them. He had just arrived and was looking for Abigail when Butler Li informed him that she was with young master, Ethan.

From the outside, he could hear the sound of gunshots and the intense background music coming from the monitor and speaker. He could tell that the two were playing video games.

He entered the room silently and traced his steps towards them. He stood behind them, watching them play. Nathan was surprised and stood frozen in his spot when his gaze fell on Abigail's laptop monitor.

'They are playing Mission XXX. That character... it looks familiar to me... and her moves... are similar to...'
