Chapter 10: Money Talk

Ah, the joys of virtual reality gaming. It's been four and a half months of nonstop grinding in YGGDRASIL, and let me tell you, it's been a wild ride. From slaying monsters to dodging fireballs, every day brings new challenges and adventures. And let's not forget the occasional encounter with a skeleton mage who just won't quit.

Last month marked the official release of YGGDRASIL to the public, and boy, did it cause a stir. Within two weeks, the servers were bursting at the seams with eager players, spawning left, right, and center like rabbits in a magician's hat.

It was like the digital equivalent of rush hour traffic—complete madness!

And let me tell you about my encounters with the newbies. Finally spotting some Demi-humans and Heteromorphic players in Helheim was like stumbling upon a mythical creature in the wild.

They gawked, they gasped, and some even had the audacity to call my avatar "cool." Well, I may be a blood-sucking vampire in the game, but I'm also a sucker for a compliment!

But fear not, for despite my fearsome appearance, I am a friend to all—especially the newbies. I greet them with a smile (emoji), offer them some virtual snacks (hey, a vampire's gotta have some hospitality, right?), and even lend a hand with their quests. After all, what are fellow adventurers for if not to help each other out in times of need?

During this time, I kept on hunting along the edge of Helheim, slowly pushing my way towards the center. No need to rush, right? After all, why risk life and limb when you can take things at your own pace?

I managed to level up to 50, which might sound low compared to other games, but in YGGDRASIL, it's a pretty respectable level. You see, the experience needed to level up increases with each level, so hitting level 50 is no small feat. It's like climbing a mountain made of experience points—one level at a time.

And reaching that milestone wasn't easy. It took hours upon hours of grinding, battling monsters left and right, and dodging fireballs like a pro.

Ah, the eternal struggle of leveling up in YGGDRASIL. It's like trying to climb a mountain made of Jell-O—you take one step forward and slide back two steps. But hey, that's what keeps things interesting, right? Keeps you on your toes, so to speak.

So yeah, while some players might be charging headfirst into the heart of danger, I prefer to play it safe. Why risk losing all those hard-earned levels and experience points when I can still rack up a decent amount right where I am? Call me cautious, call me a chicken, but I call it playing smart.

Besides, who says you need to be at the center of all the action to have fun? I've seen plenty of excitement right here on the outskirts of Helheim. From epic battles with skeleton warriors to daring escapes from fire-breathing dragons, there's never a dull moment in this game.

And let's not forget about the loot! Sure, the rewards might not be as flashy as what you'd find in the depths of the Helheim, but hey, a gold coin is a gold coin, am I right? And trust me, I've got big plans for all those shiny treasures I've been hoarding.

So while others may chase after glory and fame, I'll be here, taking it one monster at a time and enjoying every minute of it. After all, in the world of YGGDRASIL, the journey is just as important as the destination.

And my days since those wild events have been relatively normal. Well, as normal as you can get when you're a vampire warrior battling undead minions in a digital realm, that is.

But hey, no rest for the wicked, right? I've been grinding away at those experience points like there's no tomorrow, leveling up my classes faster than you can say "level up." And let me tell you, it's paying off big time.

In just a month's time, I've managed to max out some of my classes already. That's right, yours truly is now a master of swordsmanship, a connoisseur of dark magic, and a seasoned expert in all things vampire-related. And the best part? I've unlocked a whole slew of new skills and classes along the way.

Of course, I didn't equip them all—I'm not a hoarder, you know. Only the ones I deemed necessary for my epic quest for domination. And hey, if that means ditching those basic starter classes I got way back when, so be it. Ain't nobody got time for that when there's monsters to slay and loot to plunder.

But wait, there's more! Thanks to my daring exploits and epic victories, I've also managed to snag some pretty sweet achievements. Like {Weapon Mastery} and {Ripper}, to name a few. And I did all of that in just one month's worth of playing.

So yeah, while some players might be out there chasing after rare loot and legendary weapons, I'll be right here, kicking butt and taking names one monster at a time. After all, in the world of YGGDRASIL, the grind never stops—and neither do I.

And one more thing about YGGDRASIL—it was a game of exploration, mystery, and a heck of a lot of surprises. They didn't hold your hand in that game, oh no. They just gave you the controls and threw you into the deep end like a bunch of piranhas in a fish tank. But you know what? That's what made it so darn special.

See, YGGDRASIL wasn't like your run-of-the-mill DMMOs. It gave you more freedom than a kid in a candy store. You could go anywhere, do anything, and be anyone you wanted to be. Well, as long as you didn't mind dodging fireballs and fighting off hordes of undead minions, that is.

And that freedom was like crack to gamers. It spread like wildfire. Before you knew it, everyone and their grandma was talking about YGGDRASIL. It was like the hottest gossip in town.

But here's the kicker—the game was tough as nails, especially for newbies. I mean, just try leveling up or defeating a monster without breaking a sweat. It's like trying to find a needle in a haystack while blindfolded and riding a unicycle. Yeah, it's that hard.

So, what do you do when the going gets tough? You hit up the cash shop. That's right, they introduced these little beauties called cash shop items. You know, the kind you buy with real-life moolah.

As soon as those bad boys hit the shelves, I went on a shopping spree like there was no tomorrow. I mean, who needs to grind for hours on end when you can just buy your way to victory, am I right?

And I like to name this particular method of winning, Money Talk.

So there I was, throwing money at my screen faster than you can say "cash shop addiction." But hey, because of Death help, I don't need to worry about money.
