《Demon Artificer》1: Prologue
Advertisement
It all began on that nasty day, when I came back from yet another dungeon with bags full of loot.
As your typical "melee dps" without any skills of appraisal and repair, I came inside the shop where I usually repair my equipment and sell my loot.
Before I go too much into the details of my todays fatal accident, it will be better if I tell you a bit about myself.
As a "Dark Gamer" who lives from what little money I could scrape from the game.
I had an avatar that was packed with the exploits to the point I was a "cheat like character"...
I know what you say, that I'm cheap, that whatever problems I got from today's disaster I probably deserve 'em?
Well fuck you! When your game become something that puts money on a table, and food in your mouth, then and only then you can snarl at me...
Ok, ok. Back to the point. I came inside that shop and started to unload my bags, when one specific object drew the attention of the young clerk that was sitting behind the counter.
- What is this thing, strange... I can't even appraise it? (Young clerk)
In his hand he was holding a odd, almost transparent dark crystal that had a red menacing glow.
- Maybe your skill is too low, I'll better call your boss. (Me)
- I suggest that you'd better not do that Sir. (Young clerk)
- And why is that?! (Me)
- Because from last night he is so much wasted, that he can't stand, much less help you Sir. (Young clerk)
His words made me temporarily flabbergasted, but then I quickly got my shit together.
- You know what?! Fuck it! I'll sell this shit on auction! (Me)
Full of rage I quickly grabbed his hand, then forcefully tried to reclaim my item...

Suddenly the crystal in our hands glowed with a blinding light, and the world exploded with a loud crack.
When I came to, I immediately noticed that something was very wrong.
I started to feel sick to the point that my surrounding started changing to a warped spinning cascade of sounds and images..
I felt strange, like someone who is trying to push the right foot in the left shoe, and that is definitely dangerous in VR games.

Dragonfall: Enchantment
Sebastian only wanted one thing in life. A nice safe profession that let him stay behind the town's walls. His mother had other ideas, however.

Sebastian's one solitary hope was that he possessed magic, and would be accepted into the Mage's Guild as a novice. Sometimes life gives you what you wish for, but in a way you never saw coming.

City of Champions Online
Having found the tragic truth that an art degree is worth less than the paper it is printed on, Jacquelyn Jones is frustrated with her dead end work as a graphic designer for a marketing firm, finding new ways to try and convince people that this week's 50 cent off sale is actually worth driving to the store. She's tried other VRMMORPGs, but they've all been fantasy-based, with a couple sci-fi games thrown in. But she wants something more, something Super. Superhero VRMMOs have had a... subpar reception in the past, in part due to the fact that the nature of most MMOs makes for fairly unheroic tales. After the couple hundredth time blasting the same group of mooks from the same faction on the same street corner of the same city, using the same powerset as everyone else because you only have a few options, it is hard to think of yourself as a hero anymore. But then she heard about City of Champions Online. For the first time, a developer partnered with a tabletop RPG maker to use their system to create a VRMMORPG, and it was one of the systems designed to be used with superhero games! And despite the name, there was no getting stuck in the same city as all the other players. The game world was a detailed replica of the real world, down to having some of the same shops and restaurants in town. She could be whoever she wanted, whatever she wanted. Now, she just has to find a way to become the heroine she's always wanted to be.
