Prologe: Unknown hero

My name is Drake Bell. When the hardcore game demon souls was released 2009 for Playstation 3 I was unable to play it because of my love for halo and my Xbox 360. Hey I was 24 and going to University studying Philosophy and Politics. It was only in 2011 when the original dark souls was released that I came first in contact with this suicidal beast of a game series. I had a bad breakup with my long time girlfriend since greatschool so I got my be a little to hooked into this impossible game. I played it solo like a maniac while at the same time finishing my masters degree. I think it must have been arround April in 2015 that I finished dark souls including the Artorias of the Abyss dlc without dying even once. I have to admit that I cheated a bit thanks to YouTube and various online guides to beat the dlc. Arround that time I started my career as a game development consultant for some big game studio to develop the theoretical frame work of a deep dive VR and also got hooked on Dark souls 2 scholar of the first sin then for Xbox One. I played it also solo with the same dedication as the first one and ended it again including all three dlc without dying in 2019. At that time my frame work for a deep dive VR was completed and I got married to my neardy geeky female college Kathy. The same year I was close to stopping playing the Souls Games when Kathy gifted me a Copy of Dark Souls 3 The Fire Fades Edition for my old Xbox One for our wedding. I jumped arround from one developer to the next making money, had a child with Kathy, my daughter Becca and lifed a fullfilled life. In 2023 I finished dark souls 3 and I was finally done with my addiction for this game Series, when the deep dive VR system based on my previous work was finally released. The Industry exploded and I created my own game publisher and reworked old games into the new system, making millions upon millions of dollars in the process. At the age of 54 I went into retirement to spend the rest of my life with Becca the love of my life, letting my daughter take over my company until one day the unthinkable happended. 6 Years after my retirement Kathy died cutesy of an undisclosed heart disease at the age of 57. Kathys death tossed me into a never ending downward spiral of depressions that neither my daughter or my daughter-in-law as able to free from. One year after my wifes death in the year 2044 the two of them gifted me a next gen deep dive VR-Chip and the game Souls BorneVR. Unknown to me at that time Souls Borne was a reworked and interconnect Collection of Dark Souls 1-3 and Bloodborne. On the day I was destined to figure that fact out I was destined to never figure it out in my lifetime. It was the 24. 12. 2044 when I activate the VR-Chip my daughter gifted me first time. In 2034 I had gotten my self a development tool socket implanted into my neck simmilar to the Martix hero Neo but without the cable going into me. Powered by my own bodys energy the socket is still to this day one of the most advanced VR Systems. Plucking the chip now into said socket I lay down on my sofa to start the dive.

... Uploading User Data...

... Old save files found...

... Updating User Data...

... Import Savefiles into new File?...

[YES/NO]

I imput Yes and another window pops up.

...Import User Inventar or Character level?...

[INVENTAR/LEVEL]

I imput Inventar because Levels are easier prone to overpower a Character what destroys a games balancing, lowering the over all game play experiance.

...Uploading User into gameplay...

Suddenly I feel a searching pain hitting my brain. I want to find the exit command but find it unable to execute. Like a hammer I feel my heart to be crushed and my lungs to be burned. In the end I can't control my self and suffocate into unconciseness.

In the end I have died just like my beloved wife thanks to a busting brain tumor. If my daughter researchs into it she might figured out, that Kathys and mine diseases where both thanks to an over use of energy drinks in our youth when working too long hours none stop.

I have found this chapters on my laptop written when DS3 just came out. At the moment I have only written until chapter 6. Hope you all enjoy my little day dream of a VR-Soulsborne game...
