The Beginning of the End

Prologue

  At 21 years old I was working for this electronics manufacturing company called MechTech. We build and design everything from personal computers to smartphones and sometimes even work on big projects, like robotics and some AI. Well, when I say we, I mean the people I work for. Don't get me wrong I know how to perfectly design and build anything and everything they have here, sadly they don't see my potential and are wasting it, by only hiring me as a helper. I do love the job and the opportunity, seriously. I enjoy knowing that from here on out I'll be working in an environment that I love and feel passionate about for the rest of my career. I just...want more. I know that I am young and I know I have a great opportunity here for my age, but I already want to be building stuff for my company, getting renowned worldwide for my achievements. *Sigh* Someday though, someday I will get that chance. I just really hope it comes sooner rather than later.

Everybody, specially my parents, would tell me I was addicted to video games and if I had to say something about it, I would say they are right, but who could blame me, as I always say, video games are the fusion of cinematography, storytelling and the best soundtracks the world barely acknowledges but all people would love if they heard. Some people just don't agree with video games, for some strange reason, although I've noticed how this is slowly changing with the times. If I had to name a game that I truly love, it's this RPG called Fantasy's End, there are an entire 13 parts to the series, all with different time-frames, and taking from different Fantasy themes, but all are brilliant and beautiful stories. It started from gorgeously designed 8-bit to 16-bit worlds, and now with the most mesmerizing CGI, real-time graphics and the best performance in video game existence. The basics of it, they all had the same concept, there was a chosen party of heroes called Heroes of Hope and they were mostly either retrieving the Peace Crystals or defeating a villainous mastermind which would cause a worldwide epidemic of monsters to spread and go entirely berserk. I could name all of the heroes off the top of my head in order of game: Wol, Blazeon, Cabbage Knight, Cesar, Dartz, Nube, León, Zeid, Solis, Shanti, Lif, Tonitrus and Nocturne.

The best part of video games like all of these is the interaction, I control the heroes, I become the heroes, and through their computer graphically designed bodies I would save the world, multiple times. It's just something that one can only understand once they go through a whole game like the ones I mentioned, it's unique.
