The World as I knew it ended the moment I went to sleep.
Okay, I know this is pretty cliche right? Especially all you anime watchers out there. I go to sleep.. wake up in another world.. crap goes real crazy, all the girls swoon over me for reasons that are absolutely illogical and stupid.. cause, like, yeah, harem logic.
This isn't one of those stories. Maybe I thought it would be when I first started out in that weird world. But I found out pretty quick.. or maybe it took me some time to accept the reality of it, I don't know, that this world, despite all it's fantastical thing that you would never find in our original world.. is ultimately very realistic... a bit too realistic...
Hmmm.. not sure how to explain it! Well! hahaha! Just consider this a walk through then all my fellow gamers out there! A walk through on how to get through this world, because chances are, you might end up here too. Not scared yet? You will be. Cause I'm the only one whose ever survived.
Well.. where to begin? I've never actually WRITTEN things down see, not exactly sure I'll be good at it, but at least I've got Melia checking my grammar, so I should be fine.. she's a stickler when it comes grammatical errors, hopefully she doesn't hit me when she sees I wrote this.
Anyways.. my name is.. or well it used to be Steven Matthews. You might know me. I mean I wasn't up there with Markiplier, Pewdiepie or any of the other huge streamers, but I streamed games. And that was pretty much all I did.. that was the problem.
Markiplier, least he lifts and does a lot of charity stuff! I idolize the guy! But me.. sitting down on that couch, popping open a bag of chips, and turning on Fortnite, Skyrim or whatever game I felt like doing, was pretty much ALL I did.. in other words, my Escape was not an escape anymore, but pretty much my life.
I had a job yeah, I tested games, did software design, but I wasn't very high up in my job. Why? Well there was no reason to. I didn't want to get in too much effort. I preferred to relax, ride life out.. and who doesn't? My parents? Well as two highly successful doctors they hardly needed to pay attention to one lowly programmer right? My sister? She doesn't even know I exist.. busy probably making another movie.. on the other hand, everyone else knows who she is.
But how many people know who I am? Er.. actually I don't wanna mention how many people actually mention my streams.. it'll make me blush..
Anyways.. you could say today was the worst of all days.. I had just found out that my apartment was foreclosing thanks to our stupid landlord not paying his dues.. which would put me out on the street, and I didn't have NEARLY enough money to pay for a new place.. not to mention my last Thesis paper from my Brit Lit class received another F, plus to top it off, I asked my crush out only for her to turn me down... so.. yeah... LIFE.. it stinks.. that's why I prefer games over it am I right?
I can't say I'm blameless. I always preferred the easy way out.. perhaps that's what created this shameful life.. who knows..?
Well, after some angry League of Legends play (honestly who plays that game and DOESN'T get salty? Such a toxic environment in that community!) and punching my pillow, screaming that life wasn't fair.. I crashed onto my bed and passed out.
