Sharon followed Jack into the diner. Jack took a folding eight-seater table from the storage room, set it up, and then brought out four long benches.
"Zac, this is the place. I guarantee you'll want to come back for more after this!" said one of the scruffy young men who surrounded Zachary as they approached the diner.
These men were the high-level players in Zachary's guild in the game "The Legendary Tale". Despite their illustrious status in the game, they struggled in reality.
Zachary gave a faint smile.
"My dad has mentioned this place before. I haven't had the chance to visit during my previous trips to Yorksle. Today, I finally have time to try their specialty dishes."
He then took out five hundred-dollar bills from his pocket and handed them to a young man in a dirty white down jacket, saying, "WarSpirit, go buy me a pack of Marlboro cigarettes."
WarSpirit was the man's in-game username. Most players were accustomed to calling each other by their usernames, not bothering with real names.
"Ain't our guild leader a generous one!"
The man that goes by WarSpirit, whose real name was Josiah Finch, smiled, revealing his yellow teeth as he took the money.
Zachary walked straight to the freshly set up table.
Jack quickly approached him with a friendly smile and asked, "Do you have a reservation?"
"You need a reservation to dine at this dump?"
Zachary scoffed, glancing disdainfully at the shabby diner.
Jack nodded.
"Yes. Reservations are required to dine here. If you don't have one, you'll have to wait until after two o'clock for a table."
Zachary pointed at the empty table in front of him.
"Isn't this table available?"
"This table had been reserved," Jack explained, smiling.
Orville, a blonde man standing behind Zachary, frowned and said dramatically, "Do you know who you're talking to?"
"No, and I'm not interested," Jack replied, noting Zachary was dressed in high-end luxury brands, indicating he was probably from a wealthy family.
However, Yorksle was full of wealthy scions, and Yorksle Diner had even hosted the wealthiest person in Yorksle. Hence, Jack wasn't afraid of offending a rich scion like Zachary,
"How dare you!" Orville shouted angrily, drawing the attention of other customers.
"Do you know the game "The Legendary Tale'? The man standing before you is the guild leader of Makers of Chaos -Chaos_Hero!"
Makers of Chaos was currently ranked third in The Legendary Tale, with over ten thousand guild members. Their members were spread across all the servers.
Jack looked at Orville as if he were an idiot and retorted, "I don't play games. What does he being a guild leader have to do with me?"
"You motherfu"
Orville raised his hand, attempting to strike, feeling Zachary had been insulted.
Zachary quickly grabbed Orville's wrist and frowned.
"What are you doing?"
Puzzled, Orville looked at Zachary and said, "Boss, he disrespected you!"
Zachary retorted expressionlessly, "Has all that gaming damaged your brain?"
Zachary couldn't understand why Orville would think a game identity could intimidate others in reality. His face flushed with embarrassment.
Mistaking Zachary's blush as anger, Orville fiercely glared at Jack.
"Apologize to our guild leader now! Otherwise, all ten thousand members of Makers of Chaos would trash this place-"
"Shut
up,
Ollie!"
Josiah just returned from buying cigarettes. He hurried over to cover Orville's mouth after hearing his rant.
It was Zachary's first time meeting these guild members in person. Considering Orville's dramatic behavior in the game as well, he couldn't help but suspect Orville of suffering from some sort of mental issue.
"WarSpirit, is this guy out of his mind from playing games?" Zachary asked.
The young man sighed and explained, "It's not the game's fault. Six months ago, his girlfriend cheated on him, and he hasn't been in his right mind since. He often immerses himself in game characters and sometimes even claims to be the reincarnation of a God!"
Zachary was slightly taken aback, finding it a classic behavior of someone with a mental disorder.
Looking at Orville's youthful face, Zachary thought of his sister, Wanda, whom he had come to meet along with his parents.
