I Set My Charisma to Zero and Now All The NPCs Hate Me—Wait, What?!

Ridley James, your average almost-middle-aged office drone, barely scraping by with his paycheck, had one dream: to buy a VR headset and finally dive into Eclipse World, the latest gaming craze. After years of saving, he finally made it happen.



But one dumb mistake he make in earlier pretty much ruined everything.



“What’s the point of Charisma in a game where I’m just here to smash monsters and farm loot?”



[Due to your zero Charisma stat, your interactions with NPCs have become... complicated.]



[Due to your zero Charisma stat, you’ve attracted several level 20 wild monsters to hunt you down.]



[Due to your zero Charisma stat, NPCs will offer lower prices when you sell and sky-high prices when you buy.]



[Due to your zero Charisma stat, you now face additional requirements to join any party.]



Just when Ridley thought the game couldn’t hate him more, it hit him with one more twist.



[Due to your zero Charisma stat, you’ve been designated as a Special Hidden Boss.]



[Good luck staying alive while other players try to hunt you down!]



“You’ve got to be kidding me.”
