“Well, it was fun while it lasted...” Sighed a dark haired woman with iridescent blue eyes and pale skin as she watched the clock at the edge of her vision count ever closer to midnight.
She sat atop a large stone in a black cloak along the shore of a vast underground lake, the walls, ceiling, and crystal clear water lighted by manastone crystals emitting a blue-green glow. It was at this moment she reflected on her last great raid, or hiest as she liked to call it.
The individual with the player name Siren, was one of the most notorious thieves in all the nine worlds of Niu Heimar; the first true vrmmorpg to hit the market. She had the reputation of being able to breach any vault regardless of security. Naturally this reputation rubbed the do-gooders of Niu Heimar the wrong way, being a vampire didn’t help her in that regard either. Many tried to track her down only to fall prey to her traps or become lost in her illusions, attempting to reclaim their absconded wealth.
Hours earlier Siren had completed the largest heist in her career as a player of Niu Heimar. She had single handily raided the home base of the #1 ranked guild in the nine worlds, Wiken’s Warriors. A guild based on the generic ideal of the heroic warrior, the white knight, etc. Despite Wiken’s Warriors having hundreds of members, none were active this day. This gave Siren a unique opportunity, for that guild was rumored to have stashed in their treasury 3 God teir items. These items had the power to alter the game itself; with the developers approval of-course.

She infiltrated the guild base with a combination of stealth and magic, pickpocketing keys and hypnotizing human NPC guards with her vampiric race skills. The NPCs and automated defenses didn’t stand a chance without their creators present to notice anything was amis. When she had successfully disarmed the last trapped enchantment on the vault door, she had the ultimate rush. She carefully entered the vault with a manic smile and claimed her prise, the only present God Teir item. The Chalice of Evolution, an item that allows a player to make what some called a game breaking change to their character. As long as the lore provided with the requested change is of the developers liking, they will approve of the request in a timely manner.
With the chalice in her grasp, she activated the God Teir item and entered her request; To become a prognator, to posses the essence of Lilith, mother of all vampiric kind and all the power it includes.
With her task completed, she activated her spacial ring forming a vortex drawing everything to her, emptying the treasure filled vault within moments. With a smile she activated her waystone amulet and teleported to her favorite scenic location, Glowstone caverns to wait for the end. As the the worlds of Niu Heimar will cease to exist come midnight, with the closing of the servers.

With a final glance at the natural beauty of the manastone lit waters Siren closed her eyes and layed back across her stone seat. With a high capacity spacial ring full of loot, a completed bucket list, and the addition of landing a God Tier Item. A thought popped up in the back of her mind “I never did get to test my new powers...

As the last few seconds tick by, Siren says calmly to herself “ It’s a shame, I out lived the one thing that has kept me going for so long...
