Uprising: My Life in a Video Game

Chapter 16: Chapter 16: New Job



Vorden eyes opened in surprise. He was lying on a bed. He looked around and he noticed the room looked familiar. It was the room that witch had given him to stay and the room he bought the shirt in.

'I still haven't changed out of this messed up hoodie.' Vorden said looking himself up and down. He stood up and walked to the cupboard, he picked up a red hoodie and a white top.

He left his room and took his time to marvel at the beauty of the house. There were paintings of Layla and her dad hanged on the wall. The wall were painted white and some were pink. Walking through the hallway, Vorden saw several doors.

"This is nothing less of a mansion." Vorden said dumbfounded. 'No wonder she was surprised when she saw me.

RRRRRRRRRRRR!!

Vorden's stomach growled. He was clearly hungry. 'I haven't eaten in a while.' Vorden went downstairs on the beautiful curvy stairs made of fine wood.

"Good day sir, what may I offer you." a man in a waiter suit said. He wore a white shirt a black waste coat and was carrying a black tray, a typical waiter uniform.

Vorden looked back thinking he was talking to someone else. You expect him to believe that someone who works in the house of this witch is caring. Stop joking.

"I am talking to you sir. We have coleslaw, ttkeoboki, sushi, scrambled eggs…" the waiter went on to say the entire list of food that was available.

Vorden squinted his eyes and looked the man up and down. He was expecting a cameraman to come out and call off this prank. "Are you seriously not pulling my leg?" Vorden said getting more and more suspicious.

"Sir, take a seat here and I will bring something for you?" the waiter took Vorden to a rectangular dining table. A little while later he brought a buffet. He brought every single dish listed for Vorden.

Vorden was in shock. The amount of food that was in front of him could feed an entire elephant and there will still be leftovers.

Vorden picked a spoon, and then scooped a particularly tasty dish and gave it to the waiter.

"Vorden sir, you don't have to." the waiter was surprised and touched. So as to not turn him down, he took the spoon and had a bite.

'Ok, guess it isn't poisoned' Vorden thought in his mind.

***

Vorden once again didn't know if he should laugh or cry. Ever since he woke up, everyone was being nice to him, and for some reason they knew his name. They fed him, they massaged him, they gave him pedicures and manicures and a haircut.

"Ok, what is going on. Is this those kind of things where you make the pig fat before you kill it?" Vorden said getting more and more suspicious. 

"No, Vorden sir. We were instructed by Miss Layla to take upmost care of you while she is away."

'So the counterpart here is also called Layla' Vorden thought. "Ok ok. Two questions, how do you know my name and where is Layla?"

"Miss Layla told us your name and she has been posted together with GOGO." a waitress responded. "You were actually asleep for 3 days so you missed out on many things, she left a letter for you."

"Posted? This is the second time I am hearing that." Vorden remembered the time those rappers ganged up on him.

He took the letter. In the letter, Vorden was instructed to tell the butler his occupation and the rest will be up to the butler.

Vorden did as the letter say to avoid problems.

"Teacher. I am a teacher." Vorden said to the butler. He was a tall handsome gentleman with a buzz cut. He wore a traditional butler suit: A long tie and a tuxedo.

Hearing that, the butler picked up his phone and make quick call.

***

Before Vorden could say Jack, he was sent to a school and he was to start teaching immediately.

"Even when she isn't here she has a way of making me suffer. First feeding and polishing me and then sending me to the slaughter house. Well done, well done." Vorden clapped his hands sarcastically.
