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

A soft, melodious humming that permeated through the empty expanse of darkness.


And yet, when the sensations began registering, Zack awoke to find that he wasn't in an empty expanse of darkness.


Zack stood up, hearing the sound of water droplets fall in the process.


He was standing atop a glittering sea of clear liquid. And there was no bottom to the sea he looked down into.


The sky above was covered in stars, some forming runic constellations, while others remained a chaotic mass. Still others, moving about the sky in seemingly random directions.


"That's new, I thought the sky could only appear as a blank void. . ."


He looked around, but the marble pedestal was nowhere to be seen.


"Why am I even here. . . Did I fall asleep while playing again?"
