Akaylah stood up and trudged downstairs after she looked at Amabon. Nothing could make her feel better, not even some ice cream from her roommate's fridge.
With a heavy heart, she began her day as if she never heard about Inkheart.
Inkheart didn't exist... Inkheart didn't exist... Inkheart didn't exist...
But when she tried to forget it, it just came back at her in the face!
She sighed some more, but there was one thing that she learned in her life.
Sighing wasn't going to do anything except make people think that you were some dissatisfied weirdo.
However... This was her in a nutshell. A dissatisfied weirdo who would do almost anything to get what she wanted; Even if it didn't matter anymore. Thankfully, this was only with material things and not people.
'Once I get out of college, I'll make so much money, I'll be able to get what I want right then and there! Hopefully by then Amabon will have two hour delivery where I am.' she thought with a slight smile at how much money her college major would make.
She only had one year left at college before she would graduate. She had made a slight plan on what she would do, assuming that she did everything right.
--ABOUT 1 YEAR LATER--
Akaylah ran into the store with her debit card. She was loaded with the $600 that she needed, and ready to go!
She dashed to the back of the store where the TVs were and looked around there for the console. When she saw the console she grabbed it. She turned the box around in her hands to see what it would look like according to the box.
She had been dreaming about this day for only the past year.
She walked around the aisle, her eyes set on the prize...
Her eyes scanned the aisle for the game and she eventually found it after some looking. She took it as well and walked to the cashier.
With a proud smile on her face, and swiped her debit card and bought it.
She walked out of the store and felt like an absolute boss.
Bought the game? CHECK
Bought the console? CHECK
Broke? TRIPLE CHECK
She got into her car and drove off into the nightlight of the city to her apartment.
When she finally arrived, she hooked everything up and waited for the console to get some charge. It was pretty much a high-tech VR headset that you could use while standing up, which a lot of people liked. Surprisingly.
She picked up her phone and called Melissa.
"I finally got the game!" she yelled.
"You did? FINALLY! Okay, here's a quick rundown on what you should do. LEVEL UP. You get famous that way, and then you get sponsorships for that. Sponsorships means moolah. You also get fans and stuff which is cool. To level up, you need to go into easy dungeons, kill some monsters, blah blah blah, do some quests, typical stuff." Melissa explained.
"Okay... Thanks!" Akaylah replied with a smile.
"I'm gonna go play now, bye!"
"Bye! Good luck playing!"
