A Second Life - Prologue

By Creepaz (nice name, right? heehee)

Prologue: And so it begins

Royal Road the game with infinite possiblities, you can be anything you like in this game as long as you have the will to get through it, me being the hardcore gaming fan that i am couldn't resist buying and playing this game, but there was one huge problem MONEY, i didn't have enough money to buy it. I couldn't do anything other than gaming so my livelihood was established through RMT (real money trade) and i was hoping to change my workplace from CoM to Royal Road, but reality hit and i was lost in despair, the pod used to run RR is just to expensive with my pay, but i don't even have the right to complain i mean seriously how many people can seriously say they enjoy their job, well mine can't exactly be called a job, so i had it a little better than the average joe out there, after a couple of months only buying the bear necessities i finally have 10% of my needed amount.

"ugh, this just wont cut it, i need to find another way to make money fast, if i keep going like this it'll take me forever to raise that money, i need to find a part time job somewhere *grooowl* but first some food" since it was morning cereal would do, watching television while eating food was almost the only pleasure left, since RR has caused me to get bored of CoM.

"Royal Road has quickly--"

"haa, RR is everywhere and it just makes it that more painful that i don't have it myself, well back to work i guess" cleaning the dishes i went on my pc, but before logging on CoM there is just one certain website i have to check, the game auction site

"wait what's this" clicking on an auction i see the most amazing thing ever Weed was selling his account and he even set the price to only 10000 won, since his items alone could be sold for at least 10 times more than that, and i'm talking apiece thinking this is my lucky break i instantly bid for it, but apparently the instant i clicked others had aswell and the price was already raised to 30000 but its true value still exceeded that of course, so i kept on bidding and bidding and bidding, until finally it went outside my price range, and it just wasn't worth it anymore.

Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.

Weed was my idol as he was the best player in CoM, before the patch came out i was on the max level next to Weed, but in just a few months after the patch he was already max, making my admiration for him shoot through the roof, naturally i tried to mimic Weeds playstyle but my personal best for consecutive hours of gaming was only 120 while Weeds was 206 or was it 216 i don't remember, either way Weed remained my eternal goal and idol, of course i was disappointed when i saw it on sale since now i doesn't matter if i catch up since it wouldn't be Weed controlling him, the auction still had 12 hours and it was already around the millions, i wonder how much my account would sell for seeing as i am the second best player after Weed of course in CoM i felt tempted to sell my account aswell, but it was a very tough decision as CoM was my livelihood, if something went wrong and it sold for a low price how would i countinue with my life.

"alright i'll sell it after weed's auction is finished, better beef up my char untill then" logging into CoM i set a deadline for myself for 24 hours, i had to reach max before that, as i was only 25 levels away i thought it was pretty possible, but i couldn't have been more wrong, after 5 levels the exp requirement for each level raised with 200%, making party play an impossiblity, as it would yield too little exp, making it so i can't reach my deadline, i went to the upper-mid level dungeons by myself, and cleared them in record time, but after the dungeon my exp only went up with 25% this was too low, so i went to harder dungeons untill i found one that gave 80% exp, but it goes through my potions like water so after 10 runs i ran out of gold, but i was much closer to max than before, only needed 10 more levels, but unfortunately my deadline passed so i set up the sale, writing that it needed only 10 levels to max and some info about the items put it on sale for 10000 won and went to bed hoping that i'll atleast get enough money to buy Royal Road.
