World Drivers

Jigx
In the year 2060, the world has seen a revolutionary new VRMMORPG called World Drivers. Unlike any game before it, World Drivers is not just a virtual reality experience—it’s a second world where players can earn real money and reshape their lives. The story begins with a protagonist who’s often ridiculed for spending his life gaming, dismissed as a loser by those around him. However, when World Drivers hits the market, everything changes. The game introduces a new form of reality, where players harvest monster cores for profit, creating an in-game economy that has real-world implications. The game comes with a hefty price tag for the necessary hardware to fully immerse oneself, and while most players struggle with basic gear, the wealthy invest in high-end consoles that allow them to dominate. As the world becomes obsessed with collecting, leveling up, and accumulating wealth, a dark undercurrent develops. Players die in the game, not realizing the consequences—loss of levels and items, or worse, being set back in a world that evolves as they progress. Despite these challenges, the protagonist dives in, knowing he lacks the best gear but believing that his determination and cunning will give him an edge. What follows is an intense journey of survival and discovery in a game that evolves based on player actions—a game that’s more than just a game. It's a living universe, where ambition can make or break you, and the stakes are higher than anyone ever anticipated.

An Extra’s Tale

“Compassion. What is compassion? Is it strength, or weakness. Is it mercy, or a half a measure? Is it a sign of naivety or experience? Or perhaps, it is one of those things that tread the line of ruin and preservation, it’s true meaning known only to gods. I wonder, what do you think of compassion?” “Compassion? For me, it is like a sword. One which you wield from the blade, not the grip.” ……………. Reshi’s life was not a happy one. His childhood was one of poverty, and a family barely keeping it together. It wasn’t a particularly fun childhood, so he decided to end it early. How? Well, he joined the army, where he was turned from child to weapon, expertly wielded by the republic. There he had met many great people, and he had seen them die also. A terrible life really. One that he wasn’t too sad to say goodbye to. After speaking to an extremely convincing deity, he decided to cash in his death for a new life, a glorious one from one of his favourites new novels. The life of a spoiled, and more importantly, rich young noble. Which he had been given….for all of thirty minutes. He had been placed in the body of a hated antagonist, one that only existed in a flashback backstory. His fate was destine to be pathetic, his end pathetic, loved and remembered by no one. But Reshi had already gone through that once. So this time he was determined to change things. To do something about his shitty fate, so that for the first time in two lives, he could carve out a little corner of peace for himself in the world, and maybe even find some happiness to go along with it.
