The moment Grandpa shoved me forward and clapped his hands like he was announcing a royal ball, I knew I was screwed.
"Everyone, come forward. I want you to properly meet your cousin," he said in that grand tone of his, like he was hosting a peace treaty and not just introducing me to a bunch of overgrown toddlers.
…fuck.
And just like that, the heirs gathered.
The so called VR room shone even brighter, making all of them look like glowing holograms, except this wasn't just a screen.
Their characters look alive.
As if we were not really in a virtual world?
Scary—
The walls glowed like glass covered in flowing water, constantly moving and reflecting every movement of us all.
The floor under our feet was made of glowing blue tiles that gave off a soft hum, and above us was the same bluish panels that were covered us as if in a cage.
Yeah… it was cool. Even I had to admit that.
But right now? I had bigger problems.
