A New Start

The sword pierced through my body, and as pain coursed through my body. I looked at the person with cruel eyes and his hands on the weapon which had killed me. He was my friend someone I had gone through thick and thin with but he had betrayed me for a group of pixels. An inheritance piece and a rare piece of violet gold equipment. Apparently the friendship I had treasured so much was worth even less than this.

The last light in my eyes finally faded away.

As my body evaporated into pixels and floated away from the bloody scene . I was ready to hear the murmuring of prays and the dim holy lights of the reincarnation hall this was not the first time I had died in the worlds answer to overpopulation and spent food, soil and water resources without killed two thirds of the human population. The idea was to put next to everyone in gaming capsules, where they can give people minimum food, water and space to keep their vital life processes continued. With a skeleton crew of mechanics to keep the robots on the earth going.The name for this once in an era game was 'New horizons'.

In this game 10 times the size of earth people would have to develop from nothing upwards. They would get the choice to be an adventurer or a lord. The game meant that ruthlessness and practicalness would become engrained in peoples bones unless they forever would want to wallow at the bottom of the food chain.

I would not be one of those useless people!
