Emperor of Solo Play: Prologue

Prologue

I’ve been called trash my whole life .

I wasn’t born with any special talent, nor was I better at something than others . So I couldn’t say anything whenever I was called trash . That isn’t to say I never struggled to become better . But at the end of the day, I fell asleep kicking the bed sheets in anger .

This **** life .

But for the first time, I found something I was better at than others .

Virtual reality (VR) games!

In real life, I was at the bottom of the food chain . But in the virtual world, I was at the top . Even the so called professional-gamers were mere preys in my eyes .

To top it off, you could gain unimaginable wealth and prestige just by being good at gaming . This was the era of VR games .

I had no hesitation .

To succeed through gaming, I was prepared to give my life . I did anything to accomplish my goals . Everything was fair in the name of success .

In the end, the goal I’ve been striving for was within my reach, just a hair’s breadth away .

Just a bit more, just a bit!

I could have reached my goal in just a bit more…

“Fuckers . ”

I never thought my comrades would betray me . The ones I thought would stay by my side until the end .

“Fuck . ”

My comrades betrayed me, and in an instant, four years of hard work disappeared into the void .

I tried to fight back, but I was powerless . A hole had been pierced through my stomach, and I even developed sociophobia .

“See if I trust anyone ever again . ”

When I was given a chance to start over, I knew what path to take .

“Whatever the outcome, I’ll do it alone… I’ll show you that I can do it alone . ”

The Solo Path!

This is how I’ve come to tread this road .
