MisterFlare

With a dark past driving him to work harder than most, Zack Rivera entered college two years early as a High Honors Student.

As a result, he found himself with just enough money for an Immersive Virtual Reality Kit, and a pre-order for Conquest Carnival.

In the two years between then and now, he had developed a passion for IVR Gaming, going so far as to get a world record for his favorite game! Thus, he had become a famed speedrunner known as HypeBeast27. Unfortunately though, due to his strict academic responsibilities, he faded into obscurity, becoming a mysterious legend amongst the hardcore gamers of the world.

And now, he finds himself at a crossroads.
Will he continue on the path of higher education, living a simple yet successful life? Or, will he take a gamble and become a pro gamer, opening the gates that could fulfill his wildest fantasies?

And what about. . . The truth?

Only one way to find out.

Conquest Carnival: Two Worlds Collide

It really had been years, and Roman had a lot of questions. However, Zack took the initiative and shot the first two questions, saying "So, when did you come back? And why are you working as a tram conductor?"


"Well, I came back about a week ago. Life on the islands can get pretty boring after a while, so I came back for a change of pace. As for the reason I'm operating a tram, it's light work and it pays enough bills to get a decent apartment, among other things."


Zack arched his eyebrow as he listened to him. "Seriously? A life free of commitment and you come back here?" he asked in bewilderment.


The idea of relaxing on the Isle of Paradise for a decade or two sounded like heaven to him, and it was what most people aimed for after failing to become an elite. To give that up for a change of pace, some people might have considered spitting in Roman's face!
