It all began on that nasty day, when I came back from yet another dungeon with bags full of loot.

As your typical "melee dps" without any skills of appraisal and repair, I came inside the shop where I usually repair my equipment and sell my loot.

Before I go too much into the details of my todays fatal accident, it will be better if I tell you a bit about myself.

As a "Dark Gamer" who lives from what little money I could scrape from the game.

I had an avatar that was packed with the exploits to the point I was a "cheat like character"...

I know what you say, that I'm cheap, that whatever problems I got from today's disaster I probably deserve 'em?

Well fuck you! When your game become something that puts money on a table, and food in your mouth, then and only then you can snarl at me...

Ok, ok. Back to the point. I came inside that shop and started to unload my bags, when one specific object drew the attention of the young clerk that was sitting behind the counter.

- What is this thing, strange... I can't even appraise it? (Young clerk)

In his hand he was holding a odd, almost transparent dark crystal that had a red menacing glow.

- Maybe your skill is too low, I'll better call your boss. (Me)

- I suggest that you'd better not do that Sir. (Young clerk)

- And why is that?! (Me)

- Because from last night he is so much wasted, that he can't stand, much less help you Sir. (Young clerk)

His words made me temporarily flabbergasted, but then I quickly got my shit together.

- You know what?! Fuck it! I'll sell this shit on auction! (Me)

Full of rage I quickly grabbed his hand, then forcefully tried to reclaim my item...

Suddenly the crystal in our hands glowed with a blinding light, and the world exploded with a loud crack.

When I came to, I immediately noticed that something was very wrong.

I started to feel sick to the point that my surrounding started changing to a warped spinning cascade of sounds and images..

I felt strange, like someone who is trying to push the right foot in the left shoe, and that is definitely dangerous in VR games.
