Aya watches the promotional video, starting off with a cute blonde fairy mascot flying over what she assumes to be the nd of Moon Valley.
"Wele to Moon Valley an a nd of secrets and mysteries to uncover, endless fun and adventure await." the fairy says gliding over the lush green hills of the area.
"Wow, this looks so good!" Aya says in a hushed tone, so no one would catch her staring at her phone during work hours.
After the video was done, she scrolls down the page to read more.

A bubble of excitement grows in Aya's chest as she tio read through the advertisement. If anything she could py to keep herself busy.
Plus the little fairy was so cute! Aya releases a girl squeal, quiet enough so her boss wouldn't hear her. Whe home, she would check if she could run the oop.
Nue Corp's office day soon closes like clockwork at 5:00 pm leaving Aya to pack her stuff for the day and start on the long way home.
The evening sky pinks as Aya leaves through the back doors of the office building, pg her earphones in her ear she begins walking, looking up at the beautiful sky.
After another long day, she would soon be heading home into some more stew.
As much as she disliked the rude office workers there was someone she disliked even more, her nddy.
Slinging the backpack over her shoulder, she shakes her head and begins her long walk to the bus stop, she couldn't afford to miss her only way home.
Sitting on the socially provided gover bench she pulls out her phone once more to ge the song. Bopping her head to the music it isn't long before the bus pulls up to the only person waiting to be its passenger.
The city bus was a rge regur vehicle with the words Seelim printed on it in bright blue, this particur bus had been running fes and Aya could already see some parts of it suffered rust, decay, and other little chips in the paint and structure.
The doors push open, beggio board, Aya gets up from the bend approaches.
Aya fishes out her bus card, sing it into the eleic reader as she does. The young dy climbs into her seat and prepares for the drive, looking out her window at the passing buildings.
Lucky her, this was the only bus that would go from her pce to Nue Corp and she never missed it. To do so would leave her either absolutely stranded or walking for miles. The dark haired girl rexes into her seat, letting out a sigh of relief after survivi another day.
The bus soon reaches the stop. Aya feels the doors open, mildly shaking the bus as the doors push open for the few people to board the Seelim bus.
A group of men board, all weary looking with deep wrinkles and worry liched unto their faces. Aya could only wonder what kind of jobs they had.
The passengers all say nothing to each other but Aya offers a kind smile to one of the old men who takes off his hat and nods in aowledgment to her.
It seemed the poor and the weary all reized each other.
Aya leans bato her seat, tinuing the bus ride home.
----------
Aya dismounts the bus with a huff, tinuing the walk from the stop to the lousy apartment she was renting.
Soon the rge but dipidated building es into view.
"Home sweet home," Aya says, walking up the steps with missing tiles, nothing like the o Nue Corp. She shakes her head, making a turn and heading up the steps to the fourth floor where lived alone.
A sudden g is heard as the railing she'd barely touched shifts from its mount, dusty rust falls from the side making Aya cough from inhaling some.
'God this pce is a dump.' she thinks, still tinuing up the steps. Finally, the door of her apartment es into sight, a discreen wooden door meets her, beled 443. The girl reaches into her pocket about to pce her key in the lock when a voice coughs beside her.
"Ahem!" the voice belonging to her nddy resounds. Aya groans internally w what the woman wanted from her at this hour, all she wao do was have a shower and crawl into bed.
"Yes, Aunty?" Aya says fag the woman and trying to put a smile on her face. The older woman rolls her eyes, folding her arms, she begins to speak.
"Rent's due."
"But I just paid!" Aya protests.
"Cut the crap girl, I'm only renting this pce out to you as a favor to your mother, my sister. If not for me you would be out oreets."
"You don't o remind me every time and it's clearly not from the goodness of your heart if I'm payi like everyone else." Aya retorts with a gre.
The woman gres, fury in her eyes as Aya talks back to her. She raises her hand to smack Aya as though the young dy was still a child but withdraws it. Instead, the woman dons a sickly sweet tone.
"Well you only paid me 200 Lue, your rent is now 350 Lue." the woman says. Aya pales, almretting how she'd spoken back to the woman.
"Aunty you 't be serious, how you raise the rent after all the tenants just paid?!' Aya asks with strong desperation.
"It's my building, maybe if yod forsaken mother didn't dump you here on my doorstep I wouldn't be demandihat's rightfully mihe woman sneers.
"Don't talk about my mother?!"
"Then pay me my cash if you don't want to be out oreets."
Aya balls her fists, taking out her phoo trahe remaining 150 Lue treedy Aunt.
After firming the transa, the woman storms off into her own building, smming the door shut with such force dust falls from the rafters.
"Greedy hag!" Aya curses her, entering the apartment to unwind for the day.
----------
"Now I'm almost pletely broke," Aya says, crawling into her bed. She hides uhe bs, pulling out her phone once more to listen to music. Opening to cheething on her web browser she opens her app and realizes she hadn't clicked off the Moon Valley Promotional page.
The words earn moand out to her, she chews her lip.
There was no guarantee she would earn much but a few extra Lue would be nice. And even then she could simply have fun pying the game.
Getting out of bed she heads over to her little pstic desk where the ptop sits waiting to be used. She opens it up watg it boot slowly.
She pats the top.
"Old reliable eh." she ughs.
eg the PacBook to her terrible quality wifi, she quickly types in the address for the game and waits for the page to load.
A warning box pops up with a message.
[Your device is not patible with this game.]
The message read.
The girl groans clig around the site she finds that her ptop was too old to run the game. She would least a 7th Gen PacBook, her ptop was 5th, at least two geions behind!
Aya sighs, hanging her head low in disappoi. Oh well, at least she tried. Turning the puter off she heads to bed.
Hopefully, the day would be better.
