Prologue, Part 2
With my excitent quickly rising, I decided to click on the link. Who knows, maybe it will point towards so good alternatives to suicide? I am just a teenager in his second year of high school after all, so checking out the alternatives before committing myself to the real deal was understandable.
Now lets see what we have here uh-huh, all right, cool, I get it
I muttered to myself as I was slowly scrolling down the page. To give you a brief rundown of its contents, it stated that if you find your own world to be a shitty place where you absolutely cannot live, then why not move to another one?
That was not what I was expecting, if I am to be honest. But on the other hand, there was a surprising amount of sense to it. I an, think about it: if youre fed up with the world you live in, then switching to one that that is more to your liking is kinda obvious.
The page listed many examples of such worlds: a world which is technologically advanced, a world where pirates and their ships make the law, an ancient world filled with swords and magic such a world might really not sound so bad. If I chose sothing like that, I could move to a world which was inhabited not only by disgusting humans, but also beautiful and noble elves, hard-working dwarves or even demi-humans and beasts lived together. That would certainly be interesting.
But how can you move to such a world, you ask? Thats simple, really. The answer to that question is: through gas. Internet ones, to be more specific.
And it just so happens that the page was providing links to the main pages of all kinds of gas, not only the ones that I listed above.
I guess I could give one of them a try, just for the hell of it. It will certainly be healthier than spending the whole night reading the comnts of the other users of the suicide site for who-knows-which night in a row. Yes, lets think about it like a much-needed change of pace, or a breath of fresh air. See, for all my earlier trash-talking I can still act like a semi-decent human being if I want to. If I have to fill my head with sothing then Id much rather it be gas than suicidal thoughts. Maybe its my internal coward speaking through now, but I have seen for myself over the past few days there were many people who thought exactly the sa, so maybe those kinds of advertisents were made specifically to appeal to them? Well, whatever.
When it cos to online gas I can proudly say that I am not a total noob, since I did play so of them in the past. Although, I have to admit that my friendless loner attitude must have rubbed off on pretty hard, because even when playing online gas, where eting new people and cooperating with them is kinda the point of it all, I was a bona fide solo player. I was what you might call a quintessential casual, playing only what looked nice and casting it aside as soon as I got bored with it. But when I did play, I made sure to enjoy every second of it. Even if the ga was a literal piece of crap, I didnt hate it per se, just the people who made it this way.
All right, so when I entered the page of one ga that looked interestingly enough for , the first thing I was told to do was choose my race and the country of origin from a very impressive selection of choices. Hmm, maybe I should aim for sothing interesting, like a mixture of the most unexpected things possible? And if I get tired of it anyway, I can always just start over from scratch.
The next page was about the frequency of wars occurring in the gas world. So it is the setting where countries fight with each other for supremacy instead of being friendly, I guess? I wonder if its going to be similar to the battles between guilds, but on a much larger scale?
Well, not that its going to have that much aning for as a solo player anyway. With that in mind, I think Im going to choose one of the more friendly countries. Okay, now that thats done, what do we have next? Dungeon type or Field type? Now this is going to be a difficult decision. Cant I just choose both at once? Oh, well would you look at that, apparently I can. Sweet, both it is then. Its also good that you can just choose the settings recomnded by the ga itself since there are just so many detailed options to choose from that carefully reading through all of them would have probably taken an entire nights worth of sleep.
One of the last things to choose from was the language settings. Huh? Whats this, how co Japanese is not the default one?!What even is this Brahim language? I have no idea, but since its a default one then its probably better to leave it as it is without ssing around with it too much.
Soon after that I have arrived at the section of the character creation labeled as [Bonus Points Distribution]. Huh, I guess every online ga has one of those nowadays. The system itself was similar to the one featured in the classics like D&D where you had to [roll] your character statistics based on the total value of your roll. You have a total of 6 basic stats: Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Intellect, Wisdom and Luck, and the total value of the roll of your virtual [dice] determines the nurical bonuses to those 6 stats. Thankfully it looks like you can reroll your character stats as many tis as you like until you roll your ideal desired results so at least I dont have to worry about being stuck with sothing totally useless and not suited to my preferred play-style. The only downside to it is that rolling exactly what you want might take a considerable amount of ti since the RNG was not on the players side most of the ti when it ca to stat distribution. But since I dont want to half-ass everything this ti around, I should take my ti to roll sothing that will at the very least be decent to play with instead of a total random.
Points-wise, many of the initial stats were at the values between 10 and 20, aning that they were the very basic ones and we want sothing better than that, so were rerolling that one.
Generally speaking, in gas that use the dice rolling system for deciding the stats rolling anything which has a total value of 75 and above is considered to be good, but most of the players (at least from what Ive heard online) always aid for a total 80 or above in order to really maximize their roll and squeeze every additional point they could to ensure the best start possible for themselves. My current total is 79, so the million-dollar question is: should I keep it or try to push my luck a bit and aim for that fad 80?
. Ah screw it, You Only Live Once Rolls for the win, were starting over!
As a result, I ended up with a total value of 60. Figures. Nothing like a little bit of F rank gacha luck kicking you in the nuts to remind you that youre not the hot Sh*t you thought yourself to be. Are we going to leave that poor 60 be and finally start the ga? Hell no! I rolled sothing good once, so I can do it again, even if I have to result to using the most secret, forbidden technique of stat rolling: [Rapid Fire Mouse Clicking]! While I am furiously clicking away, heres so random trivia about this technique for you: the most skilled of its users are supposedly able to achieve the clicking frequency of 30 clicks per second! Isnt that like, awesoly unreal?! I wonder what gas they were playing in order to achieve such a form at using it (TL NOTE: Ever heard ofStarCraft, kid?).
As I continued to click like crazy, having nothing more but my eyes to rely on when to stop, a number 8 flashed before my eyes. Was that number 80 just now? It was 80, wasnt it?! Unfortunately, the number that was displayed on the screen when I stopped tapping that left mouse button was a asly 19. CRAP BASKETS! I did it! For just a brief mont I have scored that legendary 80 and I blew it out the window! OF-FUCKING-COURSE!!! And you know what cos next? Thats right, you guessed it, were starting over one more ti!
*Inhale* *Exhale* *Inhale* *Exhale*
My disappointnt is imasurable and my day is ruined even more than it already was. *Sigh* well, no use crying over spilt milk I guess, were just back to the Redoville for the mont.
The next few attempts were filled with 60 and 70 sothings, but lets be real here guys, all right? You know as well as I do that after scoring that 80 once I wasnt going to stop until I scored another 80 again. This is what we players do after all, it is literally in our blood, that competitive drive, or what normies would normally call a [Hold My Beer Syndro]. Weve all been there or at least saw soone from our surroundings being there, right? That certain soone who is like [Co on man, theres no way that youll actually *insert whatever stupid thing here*] and the other guy, being an absolute Chad Thundercock of a madman that he is being all like [Im not going to do it? Im not going to do it?! Here, hold my beer!] usually followed by poor Chad either embarrassing himself in front of everyone or hurting himself in a really stupid way. Of course, with my personal situation being the way it is I have never really had the chance to be such a Chad myself, which is why now is a perfect, probably once in a lifeti opportunity for .
[Give it a break you loser, theres no way soone like you can score 80 or higher while rolling stats!]
Oh yeah? Well you know what?! Screw you! Screw every last one of you Chads with all your Stacies and successful normie lives! This is my ti to shine now! I will do it! I will beat this Reroll icon like its my at on a lonely Friday evening and Ill roll the best stats possible!
Okay, everyone ready? Hold on to your seats then, cause were taking this icon for a ride!
