Walter, Will, and Wesley worked together for an insurance company. Their supervisor had been trying to convince them to try AstroTerra out and had even offered them a day off if they were willing to give it a go. At first, the three friends were hesitant. In the MMORPG they had been playing for y...
2023-04-24 15:52:30 +0000 UTC View PostIt had been days of non-stop running and reading for Roth. He was sure that if reading the forum counted, he would have unlocked some title like "running reader" or "I can read and run without falling on my face." Alas, he hadn't. Nevertheless, reading the forums allowed him to gain a good overvi...
2023-04-24 15:50:38 +0000 UTC View PostA dark green blur crossed the mouse fields surrounding Greenfield Village. It was so quick that beginners hunting the little rodents didn’t notice it. Only the ones with more acute gaming senses felt a breeze. Gary used all the speed bonuses he could muster to cover as much ground as possible. ...
2023-04-24 15:49:36 +0000 UTC View PostRoth kept running toward Littlerock Town. The trip had been significantly faster with the added buffs of the [Errand Cloak] and [Crappy Shoes]. After running for two hours, he received two more notifications that were music to his ears.
You have run 10 kilometers in under an hour! B...
2023-04-24 15:48:10 +0000 UTC View PostLoki looked down from his window. He had one of the finest views of the city. It was only appropriate that he could look down on everyone from here; after all, he was of a superior breed and intellect. Across his massive desk and on the other side of the shimmering force field he always kept turn...

2023-04-24 15:44:57 +0000 UTC View PostThe game Roth used to play also had a title system. Some titles were awarded by completing quests, others by doing something unique inside the game, or by completing hidden challenges or achievements. Back then, some titles were regarded as powerful as epic or legendary items! He hurried to check...
2023-04-24 15:41:04 +0000 UTC View PostAs soon as they were gone, Roth finally turned off the option of not showing pain and curled up into a ball on the floor, sobbing like a baby. He had been screaming and crying in his mind for hours, but now he could finally break down. He screamed as loud as he could and thrashed on the floor. He...
2023-04-24 15:40:09 +0000 UTC View Post"Roth?" someone asked tentatively.
“Wilson?” responded Roth. Like Roth, Wilson had chosen an appearance that wasn’t too different from his real one. His build was slightly similar, but he was taller and more muscled. He was covered in dark purple armor that had tigers painted on it. H...
2023-04-24 15:39:04 +0000 UTC View PostRoth opened his eyes. He was hovering in a dark space. He looked at his hands and tried to move them. Amazing. Other than the ridiculous setting of floating in outer space, he couldn’t tell he wasn’t in the real world. This was an unprecedented level of realism. It was a pleasant feeling, as ...
2023-04-24 15:35:12 +0000 UTC View PostRoth squinted as he came out through the prison door. His eyes took a few seconds to adjust to the bright daylight.
“Hurry up, you dumb fatso!” screamed one of the guards that was behind him. He was half as tall as Roth but did not seem afraid of him.
“I’m sorry,” replied Ro...
2023-04-24 15:34:35 +0000 UTC View Post"I declare open this session of the rageaholics.” Doctor Hilstone was the shortest person in the room. He wore a white shirt unbuttoned at the top, a simple black tie in a loose knot, and a pair of comfortable sneakers. Regardless of the day of the week, it always looked like it had been two da...
