Synopsis
Nodus B-Litm
Strange name for a game.People hardly cared tho.
It could have been named asdfghjk, for all intents and purposes, and the world would have still bought it to the last copy available.
A "strange name" was as close to damaging the hype as much as a hippo will ever get close to learn how to fly. No surprise there tho, since, after all, Nodus B-Litm was the first, and only, Virtual Reality Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game of that time.
70,000 copies were made.70,000 copies were sold.First day of January, 2025. As the clock hit 1pm,70,000 people, from all over USA and Japan, started joining the opened servers of Nodus B-Litm. It was known as the greatest day in gaming histoy.
or, at least it was supposed to.
That title died before the day even ended.On that day, Hideaki Eiji, creator of Nodus B-Litm, turned from one of the most admired people on earth to one of the most hated people on earth.He trapped the players in game using O-Sumit, the very platform used to play Nodus B-Litm.
He set the rule."those who entered, cannot leave"He set the condition."Beat the game, to achieve freedom"He set the consequence."Die in Nodus B-Litm, die on Earth"
It was absurd. Unable to logout, beat a mmorpg, dying in game being real death. It was all too absurd. People cried, people fought, people died.
But, even after all of that, hope was not lost.From within these people, rose heroes.Heroes who kept fighting. No matter the odds, no matter how much they had to sacrifice, they kept advancing, they kept moving forward and forward and forward until they stood Infront of the final boss, fought the final boss and defeated the final boss.
6th of may, 2027. The World welcomed back the remaining 41,627 survivors of Nodus B-Litm with open arms. All of Earth rejoiced as the dream turned nightmare known as Nodus B-Litm finally came to an end.
It wasn't over tho.Merely the settings of a stage.Forging of heroes for what is to come.
This is the story of how these heroes Became LegendS.
