"Amalta Immortal", a open world game that I came upon in a store.
I came upon the game as I was looking in a store which looked poorly built and about to fall at any minute.
I don't know what came over me but it was like something was pulling me towards that store.
No, something did pull me!
It was that game.
It seemed like any other ordinary game, but something screamed in my mind to buy it.
I couldn't resist it, it was too powerful.
There was no one actually in the store except me, not even the shop owner. So, I just put the money for the game at the desk and took it home.
I tried the game as soon as I came home.
It was amazing.
The graphics were amazing, so amazing that no other game I played could ever match its graphics. It was super realistic.
The characters felt as if they really existed somewhere. So many emotions.
For my 14 year old self, it had became my favourite game. I played it every day, without missing even a single day.
Of course, that didn't help me make any friends. But I never really had any to begin with.
I mean who would ever be friends with someone who looks like a gangster?
Even the delinquents at my school avoided me. I think they were also scared of me.
But what could I do? It was just the face I was born with. And I was certainly not going to do something like plastic surgery to make other not be scared of me.
The game became my whole life. It was like my other life. A life in which no one was scared of me, instead they loved me. Well some did, most just wanted to kill me.
There were 8 Main Stats:
1. Strength
2. Intellect
3. Willpower
4. Vitality
5. Magic
6. Dexterity
7. Luck
8. Charisma
I given 100 points in total to distribute among them. I decided to go all in on CHARISMA.
It was what I lacked the most in real life.
It took me 20 years to 100% to the game and complete every mission and side mission with every single ending and choice.
Or atleast I thought I did. There nothing about the game on the internet. It almost like it didn't exist at all. But I didn't care about it too much and just played the game.
After I completed the game, I felt very happy.
I had never felt such intense emotions.
Of course it was all for a moment. After that, I felt empty. What would I do now? There was nothing for me to do.
I had no friends who cared about me in real life. I got depressed.
The next day, I thought about ending it all.
There was nothing left for me in life anymore.
No other game ever gave me the joy Amalta Immortal did.
But just as I had prepared the rope. I suddenly recieved a notification in the game.
I thought I had closed the game. How did I get a notification?
"As a reward for being the first human to complete the game, You have been give the opportunity to play the DLC before any other human.
Would you like to accept?(Y/N)"
I accepted it in a heartbeat. I should have thought about it a bit more. Maybe paid a bit more attention to the "human" part. Or maybe to the computer that wasn't even plugged in.
I suddenly got teleport to a strange place. Strange but still familiar.
I was in the world of Amalta Immortal with the starting main stats of my character.
That's right CHARISMA 100.
But my other stats? All ZERO. Let's compare that. A goblin has 5 strength. I was weaker than a goblin.
So that's what happened till now. But what's next for me? Will I survive or NOT?
