I don't really know how all this started but what I do know is that I need to end this and return
"Should have declined"
"Well, it's too late to regret now"
In the real world, I lived a disgraceful life.
I, a 26 year old disappointing male, lived in a big apartment in a rich neighborhood that my parents paid for. I had to lie about having a job because my parents were too ashamed to say that their son was a loser. I had never really had any close friends or a girlfriend.
Pretty pathetic isn't it?
"Son, did you go for the interview today?" I looked at the message pop up on my phone. I didn't go for it but if I told her that, she'd throw a fit again, so I just ignored it and looked back at the computer screen.
"Life once again" was an open world, rpg game that I have been playing since I was in middle school. The story line isn't all that great, it's about a boy who accidentally enters a game where he must help others, fight and clear different obstacles in order to return back to the real world.
Today, I finally finished the game.
"Is he being serious?" I said as I saw the ending of the game.
"He did all that to return to the real world, and in the end he decided to stay back? Is he stupid?" I was so annoyed by the ending. I've played every single day for years and after everything, they gave us such a bad ending?

"Is this some kind of reward to make up for that stupid ending they gave us?"
I just didn't understand why the main character decided to stay back. He said it was because he had finally found a purpose there, but how can one find their purpose in a fake world? It just didn't make any sense…
I opened the mailbox to see a strange message.
[Do you wish to enter the game?
Accept/Reject]
"Enter the game? Is this some kind of endgame content they prepared for the players? I guess I'll accept it."
That was the most important decision of my life.
