James POV

I’m fed up with that pig.

The first time I ever saw that pig, Feducia was when I was going to school and I see this guy, climbing into a BMW with a chauffeur opening the door for him. I wasn’t envious of him… okay, maybe a little bit?

Soon after that our house burned down. It was truly the worst point of my life. My parents had gone down in the fire, along with the house. I lost everything that meant anything to me, my parents and my home. I was devastated.

I was adopted by Feducia’s family. Adopt isn’t the right word, it was more like I sold myself into slavery to Feducia’s family. That was when I came into close contact with Feducia. He was every bit as spoiled as I expected. His wardrobe was so expensive that my parents could not afford it unless they went a year without eating or buying anything. He also had state of the art computers that were into the tens of millions of dollars. And guess what, he had a D in every class excluding one, gym where he had an E. He was a piece of trash.

With every day, Feducia was eating so much that he started getting so fat that he started looking like a pig. Seriously he was so stupid that even pigs couldn’t compare to him, at least they knew that they were pretty much useless but this guy, his ego was larger than the Milky Way. You can imagine my pain when he shamelessly asked for a car on his 16th birthday. He didn’t even know how to drive and would always tell the chauffeur to ignore stop signs or red lights.

When his dad died in the car crash, I thought that this was my chance to finally put Feducia in the right place.

His mom locked herself into her room out of sorrow at the loss of her husband. Feducia also locked himself into his room, but for the reason of playing Royal Road, he even quit school and made me quit too. His lesson was long overdue...

Feducia POV

Well, it’s a bit redundant to say that I didn’t expect this, isn’t it?

So, the in game me was standing right before me, all 322 levels of him. Already I was feeling attracted to him. No, I don’t mean it that way, I was admiring his complex build laden with epic items, and it might be because I had over 200 stat points in Attractiveness. Okay, okay, I had about 300 stat points in Attractiveness.

Anyways, the in game me, I’ll call him Prince because that’s what the avatar name is, started talking.

Prince: “Feducia?”

I could only nod, even though I constantly looked at myself in the mirror in Royal Road, I never felt intimidated by myself. But I guess this is the result of being hugely underleveled.

Prince: “Good.”

Then suddenly the scenery before me started to change. I recognized a teleportation scroll being used. Suddenly I was inside the starting city, Citadel of Serabourg, Rosenheim.

You have been affected with Vigil of Silence, you will not be able to speak for the next 10 minutes.

You have been affected by invisible chain bind, you will not be able to move for the next 10 minutes.]

Then Prince started speaking.

Prince: “To the people of Citadel of Serabourg. This man here, if he can even be called a man, is the worst of the players, killing everything that is weaker than him, even players. What’s even worse, he killed his own father, not out of hate, but out of greed, asking for a Ferrari on his 16th birthday. He is the heir to the Emperor Corporation, the sweatshop company that pays its company employees below minimum wage...”

Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

After the accusation about me indirectly killing my father, I blanked out and merely stood next to Prince, watching the crowd grow solemn. Slowly, the looks of curiosity turned into shock, into incredulity, into envy and finally hate. Then slowly, I noticed the silence, the oppressive silence that was suffocating me. I felt the gaze of over a thousand NPCs and users were on me.

Suddenly a new window popped up.
