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

As he chained Acrobatic Bursts towards the pack of Viper Bears, he felt his forehead sting slightly.


'Fuckin hell, even if she knew what she was doing with her character sheet, her clumsiness probably got the attention of the field boss! Even though it's only level twenty, that's way too strong for her!'


As if on cue, he heard Rose yell "Help!" up ahead.


Seconds later, Zack arrived on the scene to find Rose doing her best to run away from the weaker specimens of the pack. They were level three and five respectively.


Zack sighed in relief. As long as the higher level specimens didn't intervene, this would be the perfect way to test Rose's capabilities. But, he didn't know how the pack would react to their children being slain.


"Just take care of these two, I'll handle the others!" Zack said after having inspected the scene in less than twenty seconds. He then began running past the three.
