Ch.1 "Mindlessly"

"These bastards! Why can't you guys flank?!"

I yelled at the microphone attached to my headset while pressing the keys harder and harder, as nothing but rage filled my consciousness.

"That's if you can heal better! You sure do talk a lot for a useless support you are!"

Said by one of my teammates. I gritted my teeth, annoyed, I answered back.

"Gosh, f*cking useless!"

[Labyrinth Failed]

 

The text popped up on the screen.

"These f*cking assholes"

I muttered to myself.

[Retry? Yes? No?]

[No.]

"Well, I guess that's what you get for playing random queue..."

While stretching my back, I suddenly heard the grunts of my stomach. I looked at my watch-

"12 am?! F*ck! I'm gonna be late for tommorrow! I haven't eaten yet. What a night."

[Exit the game?]

 [Yes.]

Elisia, that is my name. A 27-year-old girl. With no romantic experience, friends, heck, even pets don't like me. Well, at least I have a job-

"You're fired!"

"What?! Why?!"

"First of all! You don't do your job properly! Second, you use most of your time playing that godd*mn game! And lastly, do you even take a shower?!"

"Uh-" I couldn't say anything because it's all true.

I guess I don't have one now.

Continuing on with my story.

I've been playing this game since I was in my senior year. A game that I once heard from a group of popular kids.

"Hey! Have you ever heard of [The Labyrinth]? "

Said by one of the popular kids. My interest peaked suddenly. My curiosity got me so... I eavesdropped

"What?! That was the game everyone's playing right now!"

"Yeah! It's pretty good, to be honest."

[The Labyrinth] is a RPG game where you clear labyrinths, choose classes, do quests, and defeat the Demon Queen, Azareth. The game peaked in 2019–2020, but... went downhill in January 2021. The founder of the game was caught grooming a young woman on his own game. He was arrested, and his case was published online. With that news going ravage online, people start judging the game itself too, saying "Trash mechanics," "Trash classes", "Trash storyline" and "What the heck with this [Class Lock]!" and so on. But I, myself, love the game! I didn't care whether people liked it or not. But I find the game the most interesting. Well, to make a long story short, because of that game, I've been living six years of my life under my roof with no social skills. You might say, "Wow, you've been playing the game for 6 years? You must be on max level!"... I am level 99. Priestess. A F*CKING PRIESTESS!

"... F*ck eating imma go straight to bed. Those as*holes were tiring."

I jumped on my bed and slept like a log.
