It was a pleasent Tuesday afternoon in Dartell City, the kind that made you just want to laze around, relax, and do nothing. Which is exactly what most of the children and young adults of the city were doing, being less than a week into their summer vacation. One such young man was sitting at his desk, browsing on his computer. This young man was Jason Morlick, a straight A student, class president, captain of the debate team, & the most desired bachelor at his high school. Jason was 6'3" tall with decent muscular definition, blonde hair, handsome facial features, a pearly-white smile, & eyes that were a brilliant shade of blue-green. With a personality that was as charming as his looks, a razor-sharp wit, & a high intellect, he was expected to become a successful politician; a senator, an ambassador, or maybe even president. So, if one of his freinds or classmates could see him now, they would be quite surprised at how deppressed Jason looked at this moment. This is because of one of his favorite hobbies: Kingdoms of Arlinthia, a VRMMORPG where he plays as Sir Brallick of Kallington, a level 100 half-elf knight & leader of The Bright-Star Order, the largest guild in the game. However, despite all of his success as Sir Brallick, he has become bored with his favorite game; he has completed every questline, cleared every dungeon, and slain every boss - even the hidden ones! Most of all, he is tired of being the knight in shining armor, and not just in the game, but in real life as well. He was the good son who never disobeyed his parents, the 'world's greatest big brother' who was alway there for his little sister, the perfect student that always got straight A's and was never tardy; in other words, a classic knight in shining armor. Sighing, he continues to scroll through the game forums, half-heartedly searching for a new game of some sort, or maybea DLC for Alinthia, when he spots an add for a new game: "Do you feel trapped in your everyday life? Chained down by society, by the expectations of those around you? Novex, the creators of Kingdoms of Arlinthia, has exactly what you need to break free of these chains!

This was exactly what he needed, a brand-new game, one that, if this add is to be believed, will keep generating new quests & content as time passes! Even if this is just hype & exaggerations, since this game is made by the same people who made Arlinthia, it's bound to be good!
