Resumen

Only one card would change his life forever! In the world of “Age of Summoner”, a globally popular online game, card and item trading prices ranged from high to low. However… “Joke”, an unemployed new graduate, could not believe that the “Snowbelle White Dragon card” he accidentally got from a convenience store could be sold for 10 million baht! Unsure whether to consider it good or bad luck, Joke soon found trouble knocking at his door. A pro player from the Thai server was determined to obtain this card, pursuing Joke relentlessly! If it were not for the pro player’s bad attitude, he would have sold this card, but… his dignity was not something people could easily look down on! Then, an idea popped up. What if he used it as a tool to pave the way for him as an esports pro player in the Age of Summoner game? And so, the journey of the (soon-to-be) number-one pro player who would shake the entire esports industry had started!

Chapter 1Prologue

"Hey, Tid. You got a moment?"

“What’s up, Joke? Don’t you know that I’m in Japan right now? I’m currently busy taking some tourists to Asakusa Temple.”

“Can we talk for a bit? There’s something urgent. A couple of minutes will do.”

“Yeah, I guess. I’m leaving those tourists off to go make merits and buy some souvenirs, so I have a few minutes to spare."

“I’m going to cut to the chase. Are you still playing that card game Age of Summoner?”

“Oh, AOS? I’m loaded with work right now, so I don’t really have time for it. But I still keep tabs on their major competitions. Why’d you ask?”

“Uh...I’ve got a bit of a question. How much are the cards used in AOS worth?”

“Huh? Why are you asking about this all of a sudden?”

"It's nothing important. I just need a quick answer."

“Ah… There is a wide range of prices for AOS cards. If the card is useless, it will be sold at around ten to twenty baht. But, for more decent cards, prices can jump up to hundreds or thousands of baht depending on how rare they are."

“I see, and… is it possible for a card to shoot up to a million baht?”

“What kind of question is that? A million baht is an underestimation. Someone once traded a Porsche just for a single card!”

“A Porsche? Really? A ten-million-baht car for a card?!”

“Yep. Some cards are worth a lot more than you think, Joke. Because AOS only produces a limited number of cards, and they never produce anything twice. This is why some cards became so valuable and went off the market. The pro players are willing to pay for these cards without a second thought because they can make a success out of the cards and reclaim a tenfold return on their money afterwards, I tell you."

“Really? A single sheet of paper can be exchanged for millions of baht?"

“You’re gonna get it! Don’t you dare call AOS cards ‘a piece of paper’? AOS players considered this as an offense!"

“An offense, why? I don’t understand.”

“Why are you asking me this out of the blue? You never once cared about AOS or paid any attention to those AOS live competitions I watched back when we were in college.”

“Uh...it’s nothing. You should head back to work. Let's catch up once you’re back from Japan.”

“Huh? Okay, never mind. My tour group is gathering. I gotta go.”

The other end of the line fell into silence, followed by a rhythmic ringing of the call’s disconnect tone. Jakkarin Pitaksilp, a 22-year-old known as “Joke” by his friends, was facing life’s biggest challenge that led to him hiding away in a bathroom corner. His rust-colored orbs stared into the mirror reflecting back the image of his pallid complexion. He had fluffy black hair similar to those who never gave much attention to self-care, a gaunt-looking face, and a patchy beard.

“What the hell am I doing here?”

The young man murmured to himself. Looking around, he was surrounded by toilets—bathroom fixtures that probably would not be able to provide him with answers to his dilemma. It was three o’clock on a Tuesday afternoon. Usually, he was out searching for a job during this time.

Not today, however.

He stood contemplating in the bathroom of a store called “Card Factory” to calm himself down after encountering life's biggest decision-making problem—a problem that, to him, felt like a national issue. In all reality, he never faced such a challenging decision-making situation like this before.

“Seriously?”

He murmured to himself for god knows how many times. His rough hands picked up an object so he could have a clearer look at it. The object in his hands was rectangular-shaped, resembling a business card—thin, and made of fine flexible plastic. On the backside of the card, there was a symbol of a sword crossed over a wooden sceptre with white and black wings spread out on both sides alongside the phrase “Age of Summoner” written on it.

The card's frontside displayed a breathtaking three-dimensional CG illustration of a white dragon soaring in the sky with its wings spread. "Snowbelle White Dragon" was written above the image with a long description—all in English—filling out in the space below alongside numeral markings in the card's corners.

Everyone would, at a glance, recognize that this was a “card” from Age of Summoner, the world’s current most popular game that was a perfect blend between a traditional card game and an MMORPG gaming style—a game that guaranteed that there were up to three hundred million player IDs worldwide. And of course, it was receiving a great amount of popularity in Thailand to the point where the game's "pro players" mushroomed everywhere.

But that was not the point!

The thing that was causing Joke great concern was the card in his hands that he had just received.

That card was rightfully his; he paid for it himself.

And the reason why he had to call his close friend from college, Artit—who he usually called “Tid” in short—was because he needed confirmation on some particular matter, and that matter was the fact that…

“Th...This dragon-printed plastic sheet is worth ten million baht?”

New Eden: Live to Play, Play to Live

In a world of constant competition, one man aims for the top. In this new genre VRMMORPG, he plans on becoming the strongest at all costs. The classes, the races, the starting zones, everything is a mystery in 'New Eden'. This game is coming out without a shred of details. The only thing that was promoted was the freedom of skill choosing. Our protagonist Alexander, gamer tag Astaroth, has always dreamt of becoming an E-Sports athlete. His parents supported his dream, but they are no longer of this world. He fully intends on making it in this new game, if not for him, then at least to honor their memory. With no idea how he wants to play his character, Alexander chooses the most mysterious starting race. Will this be his road to success or his downfall? The game assistant certainly thought the latter. "Do as you wish, young adventurer. I only wish to add this. Do not come back with complaints when you realize you have made the wrong choice," the elf said, looking at him with clear hatred. "We will see about that," Alexander flatly replied. "I love challenges," he added. "Very well!" the elf harrumphed. "Have the adventure of your lifetime, as short as it will last," he sarcastically added. Ahead of him lies an uncertain path, filled with trials and hardships. But one thing is clear in his eyes. He will become the strongest player in the game, even if he must step over mountains of corpses to do so. Over are his days of working hard for nothing, it's make or break now! I now have a discord where you can talk with other readers and me. There are also channels to discuss new weapons; characters; classes; or monsters that you might want to design and see incorporated in the story. I will always give credit to the person that created said thing, rest assured. The link is https://discord.gg/68kPqbSFrN
