Chapter 20 - When there's no Other way

John didn't know what he should do, after all this years he still had a debt of about 20.000$.

He owes the money to the most sketchy loan shark there is and the interest makes it basicly impossible to pay it back over time but he didn't want the money out of his brothers inheritance as his family needs it after the death of his brother.

John played with the thought of selling the streaming rights even at the risk of getting exposed as he couldn't afford a lawyer.

Still hesitating a bit John called Eva Langley and was greeted by the usual:

"...tch... you finally decided to call...there was an offer left for you for exclusive streaming rights for the raid footage and information about the monsters you added to your dungeon and a small interview in your dungeon were you show them how you made the automatons for 25000$ with possible further cooparation if both parties were satisfied please decide now...!"

John thought about it he needed the money and it seems like he doesn't have to meet them in real life so he reluctantly decided to accept the offer and he got an ingame contact for making an appointment.

Two days later John felt quite joyful as he paid his debt and was debt free for the first time in 20 years. The loan shark seemed a little down as he lost a person to extort money from but there were plenty more fish in the sea so he left without much trouble.

So John now had time for the interview so he met a player named "Strawberry Cheesecake" ingame. Her Character was a small female gnome with Pink hair in twin tails, she tried to be professional but her cheerful personality and her clumsy actions made it difficult to see her like that. She was one of those people that would make you sigh in exhaustion when you see her but still like her for her open minded personality.

She greeted John with the sentence:

"Hey my name is Strawberry Cheesecake but you can call me just "Cake" i love this game! I also like your silvery skin, how did you become a dungeon master, are you really evil when you designed your dungeon? ..."

John interrupted her as she was asking like a machine gun without waiting for an answer.

He didn't want to talk much so he just took her inside and watched her as she ran from wall to wall to look at the carvings but she fell at least twice per run to the other side.

John thought:

"That's gonna be a long day..."
