Chapter 1

Amidst the towering skyscrapers and bustling streets of the city, life moved at an electrifying pace. From dawn till dusk, the metropolis never slept. It was a place where dreams were chased relentlessly, and ambitions soared as high as the skyscrapers that defined the skyline.

In the heart of the city, people from all walks of life hurried along the sidewalks. The aroma of street food vendors filled the air, enticing passersby with the promise of culinary adventures. Neon signs illuminated the night, transforming the city into a kaleidoscope of colors.

Amidst the noise of honking horns and sirens, there was a rhythm to city life that was both chaotic and beautiful.

"BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!" the sound of an alarm clock rang across the room.

"Ugh! Is it night already" a man groans and reaches the alarm clock on his bed side table, turning it off.

" 10 minutes more." he exclaimed, then slipping his head back to his pillows.

"Ring! Ring! Ring!"

"Ring! Ring! Ring!" the phone continues ringing.

"For God's sake!" the man exclaimed, grabbed his phone forcefully and answered the call. Before he can speak.

"Where the heck are you man. I have been calling you for ages" a man shouted over the phone. His voice sounds agitated.

"Hmmm" the man groans, peeking at his side table.

" ****! ****! ****!" he cursed between his breath. Jumping hurriedly out of his bed, puts on his jeans and hoodie, sprinting out of his room.

A couple of minutes later, he arrived at an old building. A bald man stopped him at the front door.

"Hold it right there." the bald man said.

He stopped for a while then removed his hoodie revealing his face. After the bald man saw his face he let him through.

He walked in and followed the stairs going down. Halfway through he can already hear loud cheering and shouting from a lot of people. After reaching the bottom a large crowd can be seen surrounding an arena.

"For God sake, you finally arrived." a man shouted . He turned his head towards the voice and saw this skinny man with pointy hair wearing a short and a tank top.

"How you doing cricket." he replied upon seeing the skinny man.

"Eldric my boy." a fat man talked from behind cricket enthusiastically. This surprised cricket causing him to jump to his side.

"M...m.m.r... C" cricket stammered while bowing.
