Life is all about living everyday to its fullest. Sometimes, life is unfair. Problems and struggles comes to every man's life. Sometimes, we all just wanted to give up because of how challenging and hard our life or problems it can be.. Some people tend to go with the flow and some people just wanna.. sleep.. to escape reality.. some people.. just wanted..to live in a dream..

I'm one of them..

My name is Ludwig Vann, and here's my story.

I'm a regular, boring, nerd, 16 years old highschool student who has a boring life. I lost my family from a plane crash when I was 15 years old.. It was the worst day of my life.. They died 2 days before my 16th birthday.. All that's left to me is our family dog who's already 8 years old.. sooner or later, I'll also lose her.. I live by myself in our old house. My uncle is the one who pays my utilities, my food, and my school expenses. I always get bullied at my highschool. I have trust issues.. My first girlfriend cheated on me.. hooking up with 4 other boys. I broke up with her since she doesn't love me anymore...
I love reading books and playing videogames. They're my only escape in this cruel reality. Sometimes.. I just wanna live in a world where I live harmoniously without problems.. I'm so tired of confronting my everyday problems.. I just can't handle it anymore.. I need someone to lean on..

One day, as I was raiding a bandit camp in my favorite MMORPG, I met a player named SpicyWolf23. She has a beautiful avatar and quite a strong character. Since I can't finish the raid, I asked help from her by sending a party invite. She immediately accepts my invitation. We finished the raid after 1 hour of almost endless bandits and monsters. After the raid, I added her as my friend. We chatted for quite an hour asking for names and other general info.

" What's your real name? " I asked.

" My name's Katie " she said.

" How about you? What's your name?" She added.

" My name's Ludwig " I said

" Where do you go to school? " I said.

" I'm studying in Yharnam University" she said.

" Oh, I study in Yharnam University too. Want to hang out tomorrow? I said.

" Yeah sure! I would love to! " she said.

" Okay then! See you tomorrow Katie!" I said.

" Bye Ludwig! " she said.

I never thought that I can find a friend through an MMORPG. Well, today proves me that I'm wrong. I'm feeling something deep within my heart.. something tells me that I should know her a lot more..

Well, that's it for today. First I finished  a difficult raid and second, I met a girl that I'm gonna meet tomorrow! I thought my life is miserable till the end but as far as my story goes, it gets a lot more interesting..
