Dungeons Online

"Hello, sir. Are you cashing out or leveling up?" Dungeons Online was the first game that cracked the system. Let nerds earn by nerding, and they will nerd forever. And Dungeons Online did just that. Noobs turned into middle-class workers. Pro-players turned into celebrities and multi-millionaires. And there was Tom. Likely, the only top ranker that lived off the scraps and cat-food. A courtesy of his father that went and disappeared, leaving Tom with just enough money to survive until his graduation. Until the day where the option of cashing out would appear. Dungeons Online. A game where developers never shared a single bit of information. A game where the death of one's avatar is permanent. A game that can turn a beggar into a lord just as quickly as turning a celebrity into nobody. But where does all this money comes from? How is it connected to the unnatural disaster that all governments across the world buried any information off? And how is this all connected to Tom's missing father?

Rushed awakening

Tom lazily opened his eyes once the sun rays making their way through the gaps in the windows shuts annoyed the skin of his face too much for him to just ignore it. 

'What time is it?' Tom asked himself, raising his wrist to his eyes, only to notice a complete lack of clock on it. 'Huh?' Tom blinked his eyes a few times, unable to believe this strange situation. 'Did I forget to put it on yesterday?' he asked, looking around in hopes of finding it. 

But there was no clock conveniently lying in wait on the nearby shelf. Rather than that, Tom's other arm was locked underneath Claudia's head. And just like in the situation where one would have a cat sleeping on his knees, Tom found it impossible to apply any power to his muscles in an attempt to free his arm from this heavenly prison. 

'Damn, I can't feel my hand,' he thought, torn between the possible death of his limb and the attractive possibility of staring at Claudia's sleepy face.
