The young director didn't have a good sleep in a while
It was normal for a college student to not have a good sleep schedule
But it was more than the books he needs to read or the research he has to make
It wasn't even the fact that he was not a filial son and fell out with his father
Now that had happened a while ago
The reason;
Well it was the normal reason of leaving the path set out for him
In his offense, there was only one path set out for him
In a one way path, there are really only two options
To stay or to leave
His parents had been working in a big technology company all their lives
They had been there since the beginning and stayed as a simple worker till now
There was obviously a problem somewhere if they had been in a low class position after so long
But they still persisted and made all their children persist with them
But he didn't want that; to continue to persist and struggle
The result was that he didn't get along with his family
He hardly agreed with his father on anything and his mother was dead
The arguments eventually escalated and he left the house to go to college
The image of his father was someone who had his back always lowered
He didn't want to be like that too
He didn't want to be stuck in that wretched apartment living life from hand to mouth
Living on a tightrope where falling means poverty
A life where the account book had to be calculated every night
Just to be sure that you didn't overspend and swallow the budget for tomorrow
The cost of food, water and electricity were accounted for clearly
He felt that the cost of his entire life had to be budgeted and counted and scraped
The life of frugality formed a brand
A brand that could be interpreted as one thing
Poverty
In a sentence
You are poor
He didn't want that brand to become permanent so he left before it could
He was always a smart kid
It was easy to get to a scholarship in any school that he wanted
Not to talk of an art college
His family situation was also a very good card to play
He was certainly eligible for a scholarship considering just that
If you ask why a director
Then it's just because he wanted a way to get a lot of money
Actors required talent and he can't pretend to save his life
His singing voice was so bad that he vowed never to sing
His body coordination required to dance was even worse
Though he had been in scuffles with bullies before so he does know how to throw a punch
The school was prestigious and his life was a hundred times more comfortable
He didn't have much friends and people ignored him but it was practically a breath of fresh air compared to his home
Besides he was a man with a goal and not some pretentious rich second generation
He was cordial with his roommates and they could be considered a mix between friends and acquaintances
But that normal life was taken from him after a bad experience
It was after classes and the school was buzzing with excitement
It was more colorful and the staff seemed to be working harder than normal too
He didn't know what they were so excited about because he really wasn't part of the social life of school
How could he have time to for parties and have fun
When he was plagued by a life that could lead to poverty
No he was a serious student albeit with mediocre talent
So he worked harder than everyone else
At the end, the excitement got to him and he inquired the reason from his roommates
They said the best director from a famous entertainment company was here
He wasn't concerned after hearing that but still stuck in the crowd
That is because everyone else was here and he would be too conspicuous if he wasn't
His mind gradually drifted away as he stood in the crowd dazed
Hmm how much do I have left
When is the manager going to pay me for my part time
I think I finally have enough savings to buy a new shirt
But I might not be able to eat well
Unless there is a discount in the cafeteria
Maybe I can ask for one
Huh....why is everywhere so quiet
He snapped out of it and realized that everyone was looking at him
He also realized that the famous director was frowning at him
He had developed a skill from a life of being treated as less than human
He can sense when people show malice to him
And the director infront of him has pure malice directed at him
"I'm sor.." he chose to apologize first
"It seems the school allows just anyone to waltz in" the director interrupted him and walked off
He had said it casually but the damage had been done
The school started to subtly 'advice' him that he wasn't a right fit for their institution
The students treated him like the plague while some started to harass him
His roommates completely ignored him and tried to force him to leave the room
The life that seemed like a breath of fresh air slowly became polluted
Until it was a living hell....as always
And the absurdity of it all is that it only took a sentence
A sentence that was casually spoken managed to destroy the only stable life he had
But he didn't give up though
No he searched for a means to stay in school
He ignored the harassment and fought back occasionally when it was at a dangerous level
He ignored his roommates antics and firmly stayed in his room
He was a beast that had grown from an intense environment
He had the tenacity of a cockroach that just wouldn't die
He licked his wounds and fought fiercer than even his enemies
He was a beast
They say that a wounded beast is the most dangerous
Especially when it was at it's last breath
It would fight fiercer than even the hunter
He was cornered and covered in wounds and the scythe of the grim reaper was at his throat
But a way out of the situation was presented to him
He had investigated the director and his company
Sun Entertainment
He also knew of the mysterious game
The day he received the game was the day the beast tore his cage
A live stream title attracted some familiar netizens and unfamiliar ones too
A reveal on Sun's Entertainment No 1 Director
Anything that has to do with a reveal attracted melon eaters
The second group were the live stream netizens
They didn't believe in the sincerity of the Sun Entertainment
They were also very bored and wanted another interesting live stream
How could they ever return to their normal lives after doing something so exciting
They had become a united family of seeking melons and justice along the way
I think those last two were meant to be switched
They weren't disappointed and flocked to the live stream
The detective also joined the first batch of netizens
He already knew that the mysterious person was going to release a game soon
"Hello everyone, I am ID [Rich director] and I recently had a very horrible experience" he said to the netizens watching
He then narrated the events that had happened
"I hope that after this live stream, justice will be served"
The wounded beast sharpened his claws while gazing at the hunter turned prey.
