《After the Game Over》Chapter 3 : Different World, Different Problems
Advertisement
My eyes felt heavy and my head felt like to burst. It feels like there is a worm that enters your brain and writhes in excitement while sucking your brain fluid. Horrible.
"Ughhh .."When I opened my eyes what I found was a dark room and I was lying on a bed which was most likely my bed at home. Yes, right this is my home. Not something like otherworld right?
Could it just be a nightmare because a while ago I was just fired?
"Aisshh, it turns out I got a big mental burden because of being fired, weakling." I sighed while holding my head which still felt dizzy.
I pushed my body from the bed, stood up with my wobbly legs and tried to reach the wall where the light switch of my room was.
And with the darkness of this room I walked with caution - I was afraid I will kicked the wrong item on the floor and make it broken or hurts my feet. I then tried to touch the walls of my room that felt cold and search for the light switch on it and all I found was, nothing. Again, I lament.
My back starts to get wet with cold sweat again. And in my mind I can only shout with agony.
'Fuck! I think that's real! '
I weakly leaned against the wall of my room. The coldness of the wall plus my now drenched clothes makes the cold seep to the marrow of my bones.
My mind was spinning for a few minutes until finally I tightened my jaw and shouted on top of my lungs.
"Fuck! If I really summoned to another world or whatever I have to be strong, so I can live to my role and disires! I'm Lucius Altdorf is a Lord of Zenille! One of the Five Legends! I will conquer this world with my power! Shit for the God or Goddess who sent me to this damn world!"
Lucius said fiercely with flaming eyes that could be seen in the darkness of the room.
At that time the moon behind the clouds appeared to show the light that added to the impression that Lucius's words would come true.
And that night a Lord was reborn after the game over.
…
"Ah! Who changed my clothes!? "
…
Still on the same night in the throne room.
There is a young man sitting on a throne in a fancy black suit with silver embroidery and a silver dragon symbol on his robe. On his head is decorated with a crown made of pure silver without any decoration. At the man's waist there was a black scabbard made of shark skin and a sword on it that would look silver in colour when removed from it is sheath.

Self confidence and a sense of authority radiated from his black eyes that is look likes bottomless abyss.
And from his body you can feel the radiating power that saying "Obey me!"
An image that makes anyone who sees it will immediately want to kneel and even worship before the man.
This man was Lucius! Different from yesterday, a man who was so nervous and trembling when he accepted reality. This is the REAL Lucius in his castle also the Lord of his city that will become his mighty kingdom!
A man who will be known as Lucius Altdorf Uriel Zenilla!
…
In front of the man there were 19 people who were all kneeling.
They are the Pillars of the city of Zenilla.
10 of 11 King's Right Hand
4 Aristocrat Family
Shadow's Watcher
Dark Mantel
Dark Luster Knight
Black Sword
Black Shield.
All of them are NPCs created by Lucius while still playing "World of Order" which spends more than hundreds of dollars per one character, especially those who are at the Max level. Most of the gear they used is the designed by Lucius himself even though some of them are wearing the gear from Gacha, but all of that also spends alot of his money.
All this was done by Lucius because he did not want to lose to Zen, his good friend and also because he wanted to make his own world surrounded by NPCs who while in the game could only speak simply according to the command control installed on them not speak with their own thought.
DDMMO-RPG "World of Order" is the first game that uses the "Virtuality" program and because of this the game itself referred as "Ancestor of VR games". Created by Dream Reality Network Company, which has been researching for more than 10 years with the help of various scientists and game designers on it's teams.
In this game you can have many job classes that game provided to reach Maximum Level 100, the level of several job classes varies from Max Level 5 for Unique Classes, Max Level 10 for Rare Classes, and Max Level 15 for Common Classes.
But that is also with risk of course, because the various job classes in the game may helped each other job classes or may collided with each other job classes. And if you choose a lot of job classes, you will become a trash character who doesn't have high skills.
Like a say before the game itself has many interesting features, you can make your own character NPC's! And some popular features in RPG games such as Gacha features that require real money or coin in the game itself, make a Multy Guild or Solo Guild, have your own town, qonquer other kingdoms and etc.

Even when the game still available the Gacha system is the most cash-player seek!
Because of that Lucius wasted his money like crazy by making his own NPC's, and he often used to Gacha to get Gear, NPC, or other objects he collected in the treasure room like a junk.
It's just because 3 years ago since Lucius's parents died he stopped playing game and since then he went to work after studying in collegue even though his inheritance is quite large it will still run out if he continues to use it, or so his thought. There is no time to play anymore, because the time he uses is only enough to study, work and rest.
And with them (His NPC's) in this foreign world Lucius was confident enough that he could become the ruler of this whole world. Well at least be a Legend again, no problem.
And what needs to be known is that this world is NOT the "World of Order" because in the previous game the world's moons was red and the world itself have two moons, one was large while the other smaller than the first. AND in this new world only have ONE moon and it looks like the normal the moon on earth.
So Lucius must became a worthy leader to achieving his new goals. Unlike other characters who are used to wear a collar in his neck to be guided whenever other people want to be.
Lucius closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Now he is READY. Now is the time to speak like a TRUE LEADER.
…
"My comrades as we know we are in another world now, a world that is foreign to us. I want us to find out what world we live in today. Is that the same world as our old world?"
I stopped for a moment and looked at the 19 people, their head it is still looked down so I couldn't see the reaction of their faces. Will this work? Whatever just continue this shitty speech!
"With that your first task is I want some of you to point out your trusted people to find out the answer to our question just now. Look up to a radius of 500 km first with Shadow Holder as the unit leader to enter foreign territory. I want a report within 48 hours from now. "
I said again in one breath. I don't know if my words (which I consider it weird) managed to persuade them, because what I did in the game was to give a few simple commands that appear automatically in the game, not through complicated conversations that make my tongue dry.
Luckily when I saw they all nodded their head in response, I got more confident and continued.
"Second, to make our people not panic, I want you to keep them inside the wall for a while, don't let anyone come out of the wall. And because of it I want Dark Mantel to immediately tell the public our situation and catch the criminals around us, use data from Shadow's Watcher efficiently to catch them. And in the Underground District I want you to make a 100 meters space from the outer wall and find out if there are mineral sources or danger under this mountain. I want this task to be carried out immediately for the safety all of us the people of Zenilla!"
"Rar brought the Prying Orb with you, I'm sure it can help you with this mission. And for those who don't join the task back to your post."
Rar is the Head of Shadow's Watcher the place for Spy and Asassin group of mine.
Rar an Argonian that's always wears a black hood now he’s advances before me and receives a small transparent ball crystall from my hand. After he received the item he returned to the line with the others.
"May you succeed in the task!"
I close my words with a flick of my sleeve. The 19 of them stood up and bowed to me with their right hands above their chests and yelled.
"Yes My lord!" They said with a bow and with that they all turned, out of my throne room.
I lean against my chair while massage my forehead. Tired of emotional pressure.
"Phew ..This shit will happen many times in the future"
Hmm ... it turns out being a Lord is quite difficult.
Maybe I have to study how to acting again?
…
Hah ... I hope I'm became a skelleton that can suppress his emotions!
But ... hell no! Human its still the best!

The Oresteia (Modernized)
All three of the great Greek Tragedians have written plays about the bloody chain of murder and revenge within the royal family of Argos. Yet theirs is in fact not a story of tragedy, but rather one of redemption. As they move from darkness to light, from rage to self-governance, from primitive ritual to civilized institution, their spirit of struggle and regeneration becomes an everlasting song of celebration to be heard throughout the ages. Forming a discourse set against the emergence of Athenian democracy out of a period of chaos and destruction, the Orestian plays are compelling stories of the tensions between our obligations to our families and the laws that bind us together as a society. In the beginning, we witness how a king’s decision to sacrifice his daughter and turn the tide of war inflicts lasting damage on his family, culminating in a terrible act of retribution. In the aftermath of regicide, we behold how a son must set out to avenge his father’s death by committing a most egregious sin. In the end, the sinner is tormented by supernatural powers that can never be appeased, but ultimately finds redemption and ends the curse on his house once and for all. Woven through all of this is the story of a friendship so close that it elevates itself to brotherhood - Where the blood of the covenant is shown to be indeed thicker than the water of the womb. In this very brief twelve-chapter modern rendition of the Orestian plays, I have chosen to place my focus mainly on the lives of the characters Orestes and his best friend Pylades. The chapters, each around 2000-2500 words, are split up evenly between them in first-person narrative. I hope that you will come to enjoy reading this heartwarming story, but more importantly, that you see how the conflicts portrayed in the story, whether human or institutional, are still much very relevant to our societies today. Note on Sources: The details of this story is very loosely based on The Oresteia by Aeschylus. And I mean very loosely. Other sources that I referenced for detail and inspiration are Mythology by Edith Hamilton, Electra by Sophocles, and Iphigenia in Tauris by Euripides. You may also find that I have quoted some of these works, and others (such as Shelley's Ozymondaeus), without citations (average of 1-2 such quotes per chapter). I did this because I do not have the ability to describe certain scenes nearly as well as some of those writers. If you read a particularly beautiful piece of prose here, chances are it's probably stolen lol. Also, I wrote this during the summer between my high school senior year and my college freshmen year. It was the summer of 2020, and being quarantined apparently gets my creative side out lol.
