I get up from my desk chair having cried all the tears I could for the second time that day. ‘I better go check out what’s outside my room and see if I missed anything.’ I walk out the door I left open and take a look outside my room. What greets me is the same white room with doors, a set of stairs, and platform, but I see something I didn’t notice before. A giant white ball floats above the platform. ‘I guess I missed that because I never bothered to check what was behind me on the platform.’ I close the door to my room and travel across the room and up the stairs to the white ball. The moment I get within 5ft of the white ball a screen appears in front of me.

‘My theory about the points seems to be right, so this is where I can spend them and judging by the different categories healing is not the only thing I can spend points on.’ I look at the 4 categories. ‘Which should I look at first? Might as well go from the top.’ I place my finger on the Sci-fi Weapons category. When I clicked on it page after page of weapons from different sci-fi universes appeared. ‘Wow there are so many. How will I ever get through this many? Wait, before I get to excited I should check if I can search for specific weapons or maybe different types of weapons. Ok, let’s start with something basic. The stormtrooper blaster from Star Wars.’ When I thought of that a page came up.

Rating:20

Useful at mid to long range the E-11 Blaster Rifle fires beams of charged particles. The E-11 Blaster Rifle has three settings semi-automatic, fully automatic, and pulse and can fire a variety of ammunition.

‘Looks like I can search for specific things. Good. I wonder if they have something else. Imperial Lasgun.’

Imperial Lasgun (M35 M-Galaxy Short Pattern)

Rating:20

Useful at mid to long range the Imperial Lasgun fires focused beams of light capable of doing damage to lightly armored foes. The Imperial Lasgun has 2 fire modes single shot and fully automatic with shot intensity from low to high.

Cost: 150p

‘It does have 40k items. Great! I wonder what else it has.’ That’s when I look under the Lasgun and see an Infinite Ammo Lasgun. ‘I don’t remember that in the lore?’ I look at the description. ‘The only difference I can see is that it has infinite ammo, costs more points, and a D Ranked Reward. A D Ranked Reward? I wonder how I get ranked rewards? Well that’s a question for another time.’ I exit out of the Sci-fi weapons menu.

I go to the next category, Magical Items. What I find are pages upon pages of magical items. ‘Go figure there are magic items in the Magic Item menu, but why are they so expensive.’ They require a lot more points and almost all of them require ranked rewards. ‘I guess now’s the best time to see if I can narrow searches down by price. Show items without Ranked Rewards and under 100 Points.’ As I thought about what I wanted the list shrank. ‘I guess I can do that to.’ I look at the items that are left and it’s only a few pages. ‘Magic Bullets, those look interesting, but I’ll have to look at them later right now I need to check out the other categories.’ I exit out the Magical Items menu and go to Support Items.

In the Support Items category I find many different things ranging from simple bandages and med kits to genetic mutations such as a Spiderman mutation and a Vampire mutation. ‘Wow, there is so much stuff, but all the good stuff requires Ranked Rewards.’ After browsing for a bit I exit out of the Support Items menu and go to the final menu.

In the Entertainment category there were things for entertainment like food, drinks, alcohol, and even drugs but what interested me the most was that I could buy days in previous worlds. Not only could I buy days in previous worlds but I could buy my freedom from this place. ‘I can get out of here.’ I was so excited that I immediately clicked on it. “50,000 POINTS. WHAT THE FUCK.” I yell. “HOW THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO GET 50,000 POINTS.” For the third time that day I placed my head in my hands and cried.
