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.

"Man, what do I even do today? Everyone is busy prepping to go back to The Grand College of Aether, or rushing to make last minute edits to their research papers, if they have them. . . Not to mention The Festival tomorrow. . ."


'Not to mention the fact that Ivan and Nick went MIA halfway through the tournament. . .'


He let out a sad sigh, as he sat down on his couch. Picking up the remote, he turned it on to the news and absentmindedly stared at the screen.


"There you are. . . Man, I haven't had to go out of my way to reach our messages in ages. I didn't realize how bloated my contacts had gotten over the past two years. . ."
