The Overlords Dragon

Chapter 1

As I look at my personal NNI in my small bedroom, Neural Nano-Interface, I couldn't help but sigh.

I had a lot of good times with this thing and the games I've played on it. Aberage, where I could build power suits and beat others plays. Duty calls, an FPS with guns both realistic and fantasy. Good times on both, but none of them compared my first and favourite game I owned on this.

YGGDRASIL.

A DMMO-RPG with the main selling point being, 'player freedom'. It wasn't the first DMMO-RPG, but it was close. It was, however, the product that made DMMO-RPG a smash hit on the gaming industry. The freedom the players had to customise and play the game is just too many to count, some liked to play vampires with holy magic, while others will play robots with miniguns for legs and rocket launchers for arms. I never did figure how that worked. At all.

I myself had put in countless hours playing YGGDRASIL, gathering items to get upgrade my race levels or change them into something else. As frustrating as those bloody Primal Fire Elementals were, never dropping my goddam item.

"Are you alright, Ryan? You looked someone killed the dog. And then ate it in front of you."

I looked at the door to see my older brother, Jack, leaning on the doorframe looking at me with a raised eyebrow.

"I wished. That bloody dog likes my bed far too much for my liking." I said with a roll of my eyes, "No, it's something much worse". I said in a low voice.

Raising his eyebrow, he walked towards me, "What, is your NNI acting up? It's old, you know. About time you get a new one."

"No. Worse."

He looked at me.

He looked at my NNI.

"Have you downloaded porn on it? You know there are sites for that right? I can give you some if you want." Jack said with a smirk.

"Hilarious," I said with a roll of my eyes. "No, you idiot, YGGDRASIL is ending in an about two hours. Just depressed that I won't be able to play it anymore or with my friends anymore." I sighed.

It took my brother awhile, but he eventually got it. "You mean that Weeb game you spent all day trying to get and translate? The one that only came out in Japan?"

"That's the one," I said, trying not smile at my brother's term for YGGDRASIL.

My brother took a quick glance at the clock. 1:00 PM. The servers would shut down at 3:00 PM, 12:00 PM in Japan.

After some debate, he told me, "Listen, I only came up here to make sure you were studying for your GCSE. If you take some time to unwind, I won't say anything, and if Mom or Dad asks, I'll just say you're taking a break from studying." He said with a grin.

I looked at him and I couldn't help but give him a smile, "Thanks for this bro. It means a lot to me."

"Whatever", he said rolling his eyes, "Just make sure you're actually studying later. GCSEs are bad enough, even worse when you don't know anything." With that, he walked out of my room and made sure to close the door.

Making sure to rig up my NNI I couldn't help, but smile. Jack was my older brother by about 3 years, him being 19 and me being 16. He never really shared my passion for video games but he knows how much fun I had with this game in particular along with the friends that I made on it.

After rigging it up, I sat in the chair and put on the helmet and jumped into YGGDRASIL for the last time.

As I log on to my character I take a quick at my stats to make sure nothing has changed. I decided to take a look at my equipment and models first, considering they were more likely to change.
