The NEET plays a Game
Vol 1 Prologue

Vol 1 Prologue

Greetings Everyone!

I have some important news for you…

I am… …your father. (lin4t: No, you’re not!)

Just kidding.

I’m just kidding you…

Hehehehe…

kiding…

(lin4t: *Whack * Get on with it!)

Argh! Alright! Alright!

Calm down man!

So…

Who did you want me to get it on with?

(lin4t: *Cracks knuckles threateningly* Would you like me to kill you and become the main character instead?)

Hey! You can’t do that do that!

Such dramatic change in plot would completely ruin the story later on…

But now that I think about it…

You also satisfy the title requirements of this series and the story has just barely started so I don’t have that much of a presence at the moment…

Hehehe…

*Sweat*

(Shit! I better give myself a background story before I actually do get killed off…)

*Clears throat*

Okay, as I was about to say in the beginning before I was rudely-

(lin4t: ~Stare~)

-kindly set back on the right track by my good friend (and rival) lin4t.

(Btw he’s just a minor character so feel free to just forget about him right away.)

(lin4t: Hey!)

Hello, everyone, I am a NEET.

What is a NEET you wonder? Well, NEET stands for “Not in Education, Employment or Training”. Therefore, I am what some people might call a complete waste of a human being freeloading in my parents’ house.

So does this fact bother me? Not in the slightest!

So why am I a NEET?

Well, I am currently in a stage of life where I have a lot of free time on my hands. Hmm what’s this? You want more details?

Fine, let me elaborate a bit more (Since I’ve got time to waste). Currently, I am at the beginning of a multi month long transitional period where I have just graduated from high school but have yet to enter university.

So wouldn’t you agree with me that I have the right to be proud to reach this stage?

I mean, would you be happy to finally be able push your memories of 13 years of compulsory education behind you?

Thus, I am a NEET (technically anyway)

So now that I have told you a bit about myself, the question is remains... What am I supposed to do in this blank period?

The answer, of course, is obvious. I game.

This is the story of how I started out as a shut in.

This is the story of how my friends and family started to have serious considerations on whether or not they should drag me off to a psychiatrist to diagnose me for Internet Gaming Disorder.

This is the story of how I became an adventurer in the virtual world of Royal Road.

This is my story. (And well... This is also the story of Lin4t's gradual descent to madness but as I said before that's not important)

Lin4t: Hey!

This is where it all began…

***

Unknown to the everyday life of society, an epic battle was taking place.

In a world completely different from the reality, hot blooded knights fought fierce battles, pitting themselves against their limits in an endless sea of enemies(pawns).

Towering giants(rooks) clashed with great force, leaving a path of destruction in their wake.

So feared they were that it almost became an unspoken rule to stay out of their range.

The graceful Queen, armoured and ready, raced across the battlefield like a goddess of war.

Where ever she went, the deadly dance of battle intensified.  

Amidst this heroic scene, the King rode splendidly into the battlefield, directly in the path of an incoming giant.  

He was fearless and eager for battle.

What’s more, his only motive for entering the battlefield was pure and just.

Simply, he, no I, had been very bored.

But now, was the moment of truth!

This was the climax! (In more ways than one)

The end it near!

I can sense it!

lin4t has checkmated you! You lose!

Current record against lin4t:

5 wins

4 Losses

1 Draw

Match Duration: 41 minutes 59 seconds

Fuck.

Why?

Why?!!

God damn it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Off by 1 second!

“AAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

I want to cry.

(No I don’t actually but still…)

The answer to life, the universe and everything…

It was so close…

And yet so far away…

-----------------

This is something I started thinking about and writing last year.

It’s not a crossover but it can be considered a prequel to my Kings Play a Game fanfic.

(Before you ask I did get lin4t's permission to use his name as a character)
