How I Destroyed the Main Questline at my new job

Prologue

The glare of the morning sun strut it's way through the small gaps not covered by the curtains. It's golden rays slowly dancing along the tips of my skin, warmth, so much pure natural warmth.

In my close to 30 years of life, I feel like I can say I've never truly appreciated the sun. Yet here I lay on the last day this body will draw breath smiling with the light of the sun waking me from my restful night of sleep.

No worries, no doubts.. relatively no cares. In thirty years when was the last time I was ever this relaxed?

With a slight yawn I peel the covers from me, disrupting my comfort and peace.

“Today's the first and last day of the rest of my life.”

Okay maybe not in that order, but the statement still stands.

As I look around the hotel room I can't help but think about the tiny apartment I lived in for the last few years.

Dark, stuffy, and lacked that homey feel to it. Maybe if I was allowed to have pets like I wanted, it may have been filled with a light but lively energy. A few cats and two dogs, yeah that definitely sounds nice.

Unfortunately the landlady was allergic to animals, at least that's what she told us tenants.

I never got many visitors, although I have a large extended family I decided earlier on to move far away.

As I go to take my last shower here and brush my teeth I can't help but find satisfaction in the fact that I won't have to go into that dingy office anymore and sit at my desk that has been overcome with paper since the first day I started years ago.

Giving this tattered body a once over as I pass the mirror I run my fingers along the scars that have been permanently etched into my skin. The feel of them each taking my breath away as I'm overcome with flashbacks of past traumas.

The lamenting doesn't last long as the fact that I'm finally a winner had resurfaced itself making me glow lightly with confidence as I take my steps out of the room.  

I was always a mediocre child, just barely average in some areas while being beyond lacking in others.

The only thing I was semi good at was writing, I had a deep passion for taking the thoughts in my head and putting them to paper.

Dragons that swallow star's, princesses that save kingdoms, and animals that overcome tribulations.

Unfortunately the market was flooded with aspiring authors, many with outstanding and brilliant ideas that are continuously overlooked for less qualified individuals but with better connections.

A year ago I applied for this writing contest sponsored by the scientific nation of research and development.

Each contestant was charged with coming up with some in game plot. There would be a hundred winners who would have their plots added to the game's AI for quest references.

There was also the chance of fifteen people becoming a grand prize winner. The country kept especially secret the reward, doing everything to make sure the information doesn't leak.

6 months ago surprisingly enough I had a man in a suit standing outside my small door claiming to be a representative of their country.

After checking his credentials and inviting him in he broke it too me plainly that I was a grand prize winner.

He told me that if i accepted the prize I would be leaving for the main research department in charge of the game within a week's time.

He couldn't tell me what the prize was only that if I accepted I had to say my goodbyes to my family forever and be prepared to leave within the week.
