I Hacked the Damned System

[Winner in WPC July 2023 Contest!] [Slight Smut - Fast Paced - System] *** Synopsis: It all started as another VRMMORPG, Emberhorn, was released out to the world. With it, came all sorts of adventures such as leveling up your stats, killing monsters as you venture through dungeons, slaying dragons, getting noble ranks, and in other words, living in it. That’s exactly what Adrenoid did. He wasted the rest of his years strapped to the headset as the addict for adventure that he was, doing nothing but playing and coursing through this virtual world’s mysteries and secrets. Thus, Adrenoid had long gone to become a lifeless shut-in without a job, friends, and a girlfriend. This game was the only thing that supported him through these tough times. What he lacked in the real world, he tried to change in the virtual one to the point he’d do anything to have more privilege than the others, including the possibility of cheating. Thus, after dozens of retries and errors, he had finally done it. He had hacked the game’s system which led to its downfall. [Shut-Down Notice: 1 Hour(s) Left.] [Shut-Down Notice: 30 Minutes Left.] [Goodbye!] Adrenoid’s stream of tears was unstoppable as the game he had invested years in to become one of the strongest had met its end. “Huh?” Adrenoid gazed in surprise as his tears pixelated into the air. [Welcome, Player 1!] [Your arrival has been awaited for a long time.] [The Emberhorn will stretch its authority over Planet-B612, also known as Earth, gradually over time.] Adrenoid couldn’t help but gaze slack-jawed at the holographic pop-ups one after another. Especially the editable stats. --Notice-- The Story's beginning will be based on the game, and so will the MC's villain trope also start later on--the world is set on Earth but I'll be making fictional countries, cities, towns, etc.

Sunset’s Promise

The sun had dipped below the horizon, leaving behind a sprawl of fading colors in the evening sky. 

Lira and I stood on the small balcony, bathed in the soft glow of the room's interior lights. The rewards and accolades from our latest quest rested safely in our inventories. 

As I brought Lira's hand to my lips, kissing it softly, I couldn't help but feel a warmth that extended beyond the confines of the virtual world, well, now the real world.

Is it really the real world? I don't know. This all feels too ethereal after all.

"Shall we go for an after-quest date?" I asked, my heart already pounding with anticipation.

Lira's eyes sparkled with excitement. "Oh? I'd love to."

With that, we prepared to venture out into the enchanting city of Misthaven, where I had become a legend. This place and my doings here being the reason why my name would be known throughout the whole of Nivalis, and maybe even further.
