(WIP) (Subject to change)
Live Line is a open-world virtual reality fantasy game with many fun features that its creators promise "will sure draw players in." 
With its release comes a girl under the user of: Worldslash (otherwise World) who wishes to forget about her real life and "let go and have fun" in a world where responsibilities and real hardships are nonexistant. ...She has also decided to choose a male avatar instead of female, which, well, no judging but as to why she did is a mystery—Ahem! Forgetting about that, throughout the journey, World completes quests, defeats bosses, and meets friends but most importantly, her—his nemesis: Animalover1 (otherwise Anima). 

[ World has joined the channel ]

[World]: What kind of stupid name is that?

[System]: Now, now, World—

[World]: No, I'm serious. What kind of idiot is so crazed about animals that they—

[Anima]: I am.

[World]: Since when the f*** was she here?

[System]: I seriously don't know how both of you were able to connect to this channel, but please leave... We will later patch this glitch.

And for viewers, we hope to see you playing Live Line.

[World]: For the combat!

[Anima]: Morelike for the cute animals...

[World]: You little— When will you understand those little pet-things you're hoarding are millions of XP that us actual players could be usi—

Live Line

The girl got out of the VRB suit, placing the mask on her desk as she sat in her chair.


She flicked on her monitor and logged onto Pootoob, resting her head on her hand.


There in her recommendations were different videos focused around the same idol: Eco.


A fancam, an interview, a compilation... Everything.


Light entered the girl's eyes as a smile stretched across her face.


A man's laughter emitted from the screen, and after a few minutes of watching the video, the girl hung her head, sighing to herself.


Eco paused, seeming to think to himself.


The girl's eyes widened, and she lifted her head up to look at the screen.


'He loves the World ...Like my username!'


Jumping out of her chair and around her room, she started squealing silently to herself. Until after a few minutes, she started realizing what she was doing.


'He... He was talking about the world as in planet. Not you, idiot.'


Disappointed, the girl sat in her chair once more feeling defeated. She rested her head in her hands, coverings her eyes with her hands. 


She glanced over to her phone, picking it up.


"Well, that's all from today's show! Anything left to say, Eco?"


"I love you my fans! Remember to stay happy and fed!"


Forawhile, the girl stared at her homescreen, not saying a word. 


'I wish... I wish someone loved me like that.'


'Does no one wanna check that I'm fed or not?'


Frowning, she swiped open her phone and hovered over the call button of the contact:


The girl pressed her forehead to her phone for a few minutes before getting up out of her seat and looking around her apartment.


Dreary light from streetlights came through her curtains. Her bed was a mess. There were tissues on the floor. Her trash hadn't been emptied. 


'If I disappeared, no one would care that I'm gone.'


She felt tears begin to fall onto her face. 


'No one cares about me—how I'm doing—how I'm feeling. 


Not my friends... Not Eco... Not even my dad.'


...I grew tired of life, and now, I just devote my entirity to Live Line.
