"Hello, sir. Are you cashing out or leveling up?"

Dungeons Online was the first game that cracked the system. Let nerds earn by nerding, and they will nerd forever. And Dungeons Online did just that. 

Noobs turned into middle-class workers. Pro-players turned into celebrities and multi-millionaires. 

And there was Tom. Likely, the only top ranker that lived off the scraps and cat-food. A courtesy of his father that went and disappeared, leaving Tom with just enough money to survive until his graduation. Until the day where the option of cashing out would appear.

Dungeons Online. A game where developers never shared a single bit of information. A game where the death of one's avatar is permanent. A game that can turn a beggar into a lord just as quickly as turning a celebrity into nobody. 

But where does all this money comes from? How is it connected to the unnatural disaster that all governments across the world buried any information off? And how is this all connected to Tom's missing father?

Dungeons Online

Tom wasn't the social type to go through puberty in a magnificent fashion. He spent most of his growing-up time playing Dungeons Online. The remaining part of his school phase was split between his bullies and frantic attempts to stay afloat with the little money his father left him with.

As such, when Claudia pressed her lips against his, Tom didn't really know how to react. Thankfully, his instincts took over, making him return the favor.

'So warm,' Tom thought, unable to focus on anything but the kiss. The taste of Claudia's lips. Their softness. Their warmth. It all invaded his mind at once.

"You really should show some more initiative," Claudia complained, pulling her head down. Her eyes were glued to Tom's lips as if that was the only thing left in the world.
