poapasi

peter was a beta player in the newest virtual reality game. his plan is to take advantage of a few bugs he failed to report. that way he will gain lots and lots of money. what he didnt know is that each beta tester has a dedicated a.i. that is reviewing their every action. the a.i. has long since reported the bugs and the main a.i. has already fixed them before launching the game.
peter tried his best but he is only an average player who got lucky when he was picked as a beta tester. without the bugs he doesnt have any advantage that he can use to earn money.
having sold everything to invest in the game, he is pretty desperate and in a fit of drunken anger he emailed the owner of the game company with a pages of insults.
unfortunately for peter the owner has made a special code in the game. he owns an item that can make one player lose a level everytime he kills a monster. and he used this to peter's game character.
how can you ever hope to play the game  when you lose a level everytime you kill a monster?

i dont kill monsters

ive walked pretty far into monster territory. i just saw a level 75 griffin attack a level 35 grisly bear. the average level of monsters in the area are between level 30-45. although a few times i saw level 70 and above monsters hunt in the area.


ive realised how alex-the-savage was able to kill a level 25 boss this early in the game. the garbage pet must have a trick to it. i think it depends on where you are when you summon your pet. everyone summoned their pet while inside the newbie village. while i summoned it deep into the monster territory. ive gotta check out what kind of pet alex-the-savage obtained.


i quickly logged out and browsed online. true enough alex-the-savage obtained a mimic slime. it has a unique skill. when his pet slime copies a monster, parts of it will turn red or blue. red parts are its weak points and blue parts are where its defense is strongest. with this pet alex can easily see where to hit the ice wolf. leading to its easy defeat.


i searched some more and found out that the guild leaders of the top ten guilds also have powerful pets. being part of big guild lets then breeze through the game. all they need to do is wait as their guild members attack monsters then they deliver the killing blow. bunch of cheaters. 


when i checked the posts in the forums about these reward pets being garbage i noticed that everyone that made the post are members of the top ten guilds. i guess they dont want others to have strong or unique pets.


i have about 100 arrows left and a few dozen healing potions. i cant do anything until i level up but when i level up ill be a target.  can i only spend my game time as a tourist? after 5 years then what? i will be left in the dust and wont be able to make money with this game. what to do?


im down to my last bread. if i cant find food in the next few days then ill starve to death. that would be pathetic. i hope i find a city or village before that happens.


a few hours later im lying on the ground unable to move. without food for hours while moving constantly my status has become extreme hunger and my stamina is now zero. although i cant move. im happy because i found two bugs. first i cant die in this state. monsters cant kill me and the status of being barely alive is being maintained due to the minute amounts of mana that is absorbed by the body. its rumored that upon reaching level 50 one wont need to eat for nourishment. the mana absorbed would be more than enough to nourish you. the second bug i noticed is that i cant log out. to log out of the game one needs to press the log out button on the game screen. but i cant move my body. its a good thing that reporting to the company gm can be done via voice chat.


after sending the report i was able to log out via voice command. its just that i had to wait for two days before the patch was initialized. after the patch i received notification of dying in game. as soon as i was teleported to the nearest city, i logged out of the game.


playing the game the normal way, which is to kill monsters, wont be possible while the penalty is active. so im left with the unpopular choice. ill increase my level through pk. but when ive become a red name player i cant enter villages and cities hence i cant accept most quests. ill need to buy items that hide my red name status and i need a drink.
