[THE TOURISM BOARD IS ABOVE ALL]

[MMO BREAKER]

‘So what’d you do to get here? Hi, I’m Saelia. Uh, no, I don’t shake hands.

I heard that guy over there forcefully turned most of his world population into video game addicts with illegal cybernetics.

All that just to get marked for entering the MMO Universe competition.

A real freak? Me? Oh, I just altered a few nations water supply to make them more susceptible to suggestions and advertising.

Not as though I forced everyone to get into games.

I just offered a few massive prizes to everyone who won.

Like lifetime supplies of non-contaminated water.

What? Why are you looking at me like that?’

[Competitor 2 – Saelia talking to Competitor 3 – Lottie during break from an MMO Post-Award Ceremony.]

MMOs in particular were destroying my home world of Belphus. The planet that I lived on and the people that tried to live there.

It was suffocating, all the creativity, spare energy and ideas were being dumped into more and more MMOs that competed for the most popular resource.

The lives of everyday people. I formed a pressure group to fight back against it and I was on my way to a big meeting with this major player in the video game market.

I’d say their name but they had me sign an NDA from disclosing it. You’d know the name if you lived on Belphus, trust me.

This company owned and ran one of the biggest MMOs, I’m talking billions of users for their products.

I had wanted to discuss better options and use of their money and time until I got in my car to drive to the meeting.

I died. At least I think I did until I woke up in the VidGame Universe.

A place where those who had profound impact on MMOs in their home realities competed for prizes and glory.

Now my revenge begins. I’m going to take out the source this time.

I will be posting this story on RoyalRoad.com
