Restarting From Genesis

Within the popular VRMMORPG "New Genesis", there was a ranker by the name of Arthur Holmes, commonly known by his in-game alias “Merlin”. Arthur was one of the few original beta testers still playing after 30 years, he was originally a ranker, a player whose entire goal was to stay at the top, ahead of everyone else. However after 15 years he sacrificed his player ranking in search of knowledge. Arthur became a lore hunter, a player who indulges himself with the world's vast lore and unexplored history, preferring to uncover the world’s secrets rather than endlessly fighting monsters. At the age of 48, 30 years after the game came out, Arthur uncovered the greatest secret of all, and yet, ironically, his negligence in levelling up was the one thing holding him back from realising his goal, he knew he would never be able to catch up to the rankers, a gap of 15 years was Impossible to overcome.

Sir Redmond's Mansion

Merlin began picking through the rumours and tried piecing information together, but one piece of information confused him.

"Lychester's Provisions has lantern oil in stock though." Merlin looked at the bartender with confusion, he wasn't sure why they weren't buying those flasks. It wasn't like most game where NPCs would have an infinite supply exclusively for players, everything in-stock could be bought out by NPCs if they wanted to, or even stolen.

"Ah, well that's due to an agreement with the merchant guild and the lord of Orchomenus." The bartender explained. "The lord can only buy a certain amount of the available stock, a large portion is put aside for civilian use. The issue is that Sir Redmond apparently goes around the Orchomenus merchant guild's back and purchases most of the supplier's stock before they ever get into the town."

"If it's that big of an issue, why hasn't the lord or merchant guild done anything about it?" Merlin asked.
