It's 2030 and 2D, 3D.. 4D? It's getting too old.
Lindsey would know; she worked in a run-down video game store. The discs and consoles were growing dusty, the storage room was filled to the brim, the doors were almost glued shut since no one really bothered to enter anymore. They weren't interested in a classic PlayStation 7, or the XBOX 720, or the GameSphere. Every kid in the block, every Angsty teen in school, every professional gamer...
They hung out in the most popular playground on planet Earth: Arena 8. Hell broke loose on a daily basis at that place and sometimes it would come to the point where the twenty year-old woman appreciated her mediocre job and her somehow good pay some more.
Arena 8 was the world's playground, open to all, spotted in almost every single country, every single state, every single region, every single city. The games there were different that some wouldn't call them games, more like simulations. Players were to feel their surroundings, to fight for their virtual lives, and to interact with other players who wish to join them in their quests. The only difference was that the player could earn experience points and what they call 'Slay Points' which could be earned by learning skills... and successfully killing other players. Virtually. The most harm done being a minor injury. Entering Arena 8 had a price and that was the player's sanity.
But of course, no one knew that. And Lindsey Bridge knew something was up with the place. It smelled... fishy.
Last week, she was met by strange boys who came to buy ten games. What a miracle. So far, that had been the highlight of the near end of the year for her.
Yo, you can be anyone, anywhere, do anything. I don't care, man. Just make a sotory, have fun in this alternate universe. I love y'all.
