Roan walked out of his room. It had been night already.
He reached down and found Aria waiting for him at the table. "Where is the little one?"
Aria looked at him and then pointed up.
Roan turned and saw Dhruv crawling down.
"Shit, what happen to you?" Roan rushed to him and gave him support. Both of them walked to the table.
Aria placed food for both brothers on the table. Both of them sat down.
Dhruv looked into Roan's eyes. "It is so boring, brother."
Roan tilted his head in confusion. "What is so boring?"
"Liberty Online is so boring."
He looked at Dhruv with his mouth wide open. Roan turned toward Aria, who also had her eye wide in shock.
"What the hell happened? For you to say that?"
Dhruv looked at him and said, "It's so boring to take quests from many stupid NPCs."
Roan slapped his own head. "Idiot"
Dhruv looked at him. "What? You are the one that tells me to do everything in the game."
"I told you that, but I said nothing about taking tasks from NPC."
Dhruv looked at him. "Then what?"
"First tell me, do you find anything interesting?"
"Mmmm," Dhruv nodded. "I loved watching people fight."
Roan raised his eyebrow and motioned Dhruv to continue.
"I like how different people work together to kill a monster. It was fascinating to see. I even want to join them, but because of you, I did not join them. "
"Damn, it's unexpected. I never imagined you to be a brute type." Roan shook his head.
Dhruv looked at him and asked in hope, "Can I hunt monsters, then?"
"No, it's still early." Roan shook his head.
Dhruv stare at him and said nothing. He just kept staring at Roan.
Aria said from the side, "mmm, Sir I think you should allow little sir to fight."
Roan started eating food and said after some time, "He could fight a monster if he wanted." Roan looked at Aria. "You see, I am not there monitoring him or forcing him. If he wanted to fight that desperately, then sure, go ahead…" Roan started eating his food.
There was silence on the table. Dhruv stopped staring at him and asked, "Idiot, tell me what to do, then."
Roan smiled and said, "Simple. You want to fight, right? Then started learning about fighting. How will you fight? What is the thing to fight? How to kill that monster? Learn all of this first."
Dhruv had his eyes wide open.
Roan turned to Dhruv and looked into his eyes and said, "You do not want to waste your time dying, then curing your stupidity, right? If you want to fight, then started learning about fighting first. Dhruv, remember to use your strength?"
Dhruv looked at him. "What strength are you talking about?"
Roan pointed at his head, "Your brain smartass. You have a brain. Use that shit. Do not waste it."
"Dammm, you are right. I am smarter than you. Why did I stop using my brain and start following your command?" Dhruv looked at him. "You do not use any weird tricks on me, right?"
Roan looked at him with a poker face. "Your ass must be itching for a kick, right?"
"Nope, sorry," Dhruv started stuffing his mouth with food. Roan also started eating his food.
Aria could not control herself and said, "That is so much to learn. Lil sir, can learn while fighting?"
"That is inefficient for him."
Aria frowned in confusion.
Roan said to her, "put little pressure on your brain beautiful. I do not want wrinkles on that pretty face."
"Sir!!! Are you calling me stupid?" Aria puffed her cheek.
Dhruv looked at her and said, "Do not worry, big sis. Brother does not mean it in a bad way."
Both of them turned to Dhruv. Dhruv continued, "Do not take it at your heart. You are not stupid, but just a little less smart than brother and me."
"Puffffffff," Roan started laughing loudly.
Aria's face had turned red.
Dhruv tilted his head. "What happened? Did I say something bad?"
"Hahahaah" Roan continued to laugh.
Aria said, "Nope…" She placed a hand on her chest.
"Smartass, do you want to say that my beautiful secretary is more stupid than me, hahaha," Roan said while pointing at him.
Dhruv had his eyes wide. He looked at red Aria and said, "no that's not what I mean. I mean, just as I am smarter than my idiot brother. He is little," Dhruv showed with his finger, "an inch smarter than you, big sis. I do not say you are stupid. "
"Haha, That's the same thing, smartass."
"Noo," Dhruv grabbed his hair. There tear in his eyes, "Big sis, that's not what I mean. Brother is the devil. Do not believe him."
Aria said in consolation, "Lil sir, no need to cry. I understand you."
Roan looked up, "Oops, I overdid it. Run." Roan stuffed food in his mouth and rushed to his room. He knew that a war would start if stayed down for a little more time.
…
Dhruv stopped crying and looked at Aria. "Big sis, you also play Liberty, right?"
Aria sat beside Dhruv. "Mmm."
"Oh big sis, what's your level, then?"
Aria smiled and said, "I am at the 200th level."
Dhruv had his eyes wide. "Wow, you are so much more powerful than my idiot brother. You are great."
"Hehe, that's not much great."
"But big sis, you have so much experience. Do you have any advice for me?"
"Advice? mmm," Aria looked at him and said, "You just need to play as you like. This is my advice to you."
Dhruv looked down and mumbled, "That's not much helpful to beat him." Dhruv looked into her eyes. "Big sis, how strong is my brother?"
"How much…" Aria looked at him. "I don't know the exact answer."
Dhruv nodded his head a little and then started eating food while staring at Roan's seat.
Aria asked, "if you do not mind lil sir, Can I ask you a question?"
Dhruv looked at her, "what question??"
"Why do you want to beat your brother?"
Dhruv tilted his head. "I just want to prove him."
"What? such a simple reason?"
Dhruv stared into her eyes and said in a serious tone. "No, that's not a simple reason. I needed to beat him. I just want to prove to him I can become stronger than him."
Aria nodded her head and said slowly, "Lil sir, you know there are many more powerful players than Sir. You can just follow and learn from them and in no time you will become stronger."
Dhruv shook his head. "No, that thing may be possible before, but not now. He changed and is not weak anymore. He is very strong. I cannot beat him like that."
Aria had a confused look on her face. "But Lil sir, I think you should focus on getting a class that is stronger than a physical fighter. Maybe if you try fighting monsters, then you might discover a suitable class for yourself."
Dhruv shook his head, "no big sis, Brother is right. I cannot achieve much by fighting blindly. You see, I love watching fighting. That's my interest in not fighting itself. Can you tell me where I can learn the basics of fighting?"
Aria racked her brain and said, "There are many places where you can watch videos of other player fighting and study their fighting style. Or you can try your luck in the training area. I heard that there is a quest where the NPC master will teach you if you show your determination to him, but that is a time taking process. There are a few other ways. I can make a list for you?"
"Oh thank you, big sis, I will try that," Dhruv said, and rushed toward his room.
Aria had a smile on her face as she looked at him. Then she turned to Roan's seat and mumbled, "He said nothing today. He must be much excited about tomorrow."
She tightened her fist. "What is so good about her?"
….
Dhruv walked toward the gaming pod. "Big sis really is stupid. She did not tell me anything important." He said to himself and noted to himself to not asked much about the game from her.
She was not like his brother. She always treated him like a small kid.
He logged into the game "WELCOME PLAYER ZENITH"
Dhruv was very proud of his game name. Dhruv opened his eyes in the beginner village.
He looked around.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
There were many pending quest messages. He ignored them. There was no point wasting time on them anymore.
"Use brain, huh," Dhruv said to himself and started moving around the entire village. He knew his brother was pointing toward an important detail.
"Use brain, use my brain. What the hell is this use of the brain?" He traveled all around the Blackgold village but did not get the answer to the question.
Dhruv sat on a bench just outside the village. He opened his status.

Everything was black. It was almost one day and their no progress. Dhruv slumped on the bench and started looking at the player fighting the rabbit monster in the hunting field in front of him.
Many players were struggling to kill these monsters but few players were easily able to kill the rabbit monster.
