I wake up from a nightmare in my small room located above the inn. I am Shimura Taiki age 15, and I started working here a few weeks ago due to family problems. What I mean by that is that I have no family. Well, none that I know of anyway. I am an orphan who has been abandoned by the orphanage. I am not an ugly child or anything, in fact, many people have complimented me on my above average looks. Anyways, That may seem a bit sad being thrown out, but it is not because the people who were working at the orphanage, were not good people. They would always abuse most of the kids there. It was a terrible experience. Most of the time they were only hurting me and doing strange things. So you are wondering why I was thrown out? Well, every child when they reach the age of 15, are thrown out of the orphanage. Knowing that Noemi at the inn decided to take me in so that I can have a place to stay. I have to work in the inn to stay in the room.The work may be tough, but at least I can sleep in a warm bed! 

Weird, There are much more people in here than usual. Usually, there are not many people in the inn because we live in such a small town, but today there must be at least 60 people in here! 

"Shimura! Bring 4 beers down to table 7!"

"Ok!"

I put on my work clothes and grab the tray with the 4 beers on it and bring it to the table that bought them. 

"Here are your 4 beverages"

"Thanks, kid"

"No problem!"

As I am walking away to the counter to ask Noemi what my next task is I overhear the conversation from the four people at table 7.

"So, Sayuri what class are you going to pick?"

"I don't know, I haven't even asked the NPC for the second quest yet."

"What! Why not!"

The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

"Chill out dude the game has only been out for a few hours."

"Well yeah, it has but don't you want to get ahead of everyone else?"

"No, because there is no way that I will get ahead of people who have no IRL life and will just play this game all day."

"True, Sayuri you do have that new office job that is super exciting!"

"Shut up! I only work there because the pay is good!"

What the hell is an NPC, and what does IRL mean? What does she mean by a game? They are probably just pulling a prank on me or something. As I am walking towards the counter, I start hearing similar conversations pop up around as well.  

"Hey, Noemi what does NPC mean?"

"NPC? Never heard that word before, you should ask one of the customers if it is important"

 "No, It is not that important. Anyway, do you need me to do anything?"

"Yes, can you wash these dishes and put the daily special on the board?"

"Ok! I'll get to it!"

The day is now coming to an end and as I am washing up the rest of the dishes. I see one of that Sayuri lady's friend about to leave the inn. I am reminded of their conversation from earlier. I let my curiosity get the best of me so I go up to him and ask him some questions.

"Excuse me, sir, may I ask a question?"

"Huh? Oh sure"

"Earlier today I heard you were having a conversation with that lady, and you were talking about NPC's and IRL what do those words mean?"

"Oh, well NPC means Non-Playable Character and that's what you are."

"W-what do you mean?" I get a headache suddenly.

"You are part of the game Dead Sky, wait, why am I telling you this? It's not like you will understand since you are just a piece of code."

He walks away. Wait what the hell does he mean I'm part of a game? I'm an NPC!? PIECE OF CODE!? I suddenly feel shivers down my body so I run to run to my room. As I enter my room, A bunch of random letters and numbers pop up in my face.

I hear a high pitch buzzing noise and pass out on my bed.
