February 07, 2026. This was the day my life took a complete turn for the best. My name is Rejoice Diepreye and I'm a twenty one year old programmer, I am from Nigeria in Africa. A tall and slim youth standing almost 6ft tall, like most Africans, I have dark skin and black eyes. At the age of 21 most Nigerian youths would either be in the university or were already graduates. Not me tho, i currently work at a supermarket that is twenty minutes away from my house, where I live with my family. I have two siblings , a younger sister and a boy younger than her. I have a very hardworking father and a mother who shared in this trait, working hard was in our genes in my family. Except for me tho, I hate stress at all levels, some could even say I was a lazy person. My younger sister Aye is in college at the age of eighteen where our last sibling will be joining her in a year. Now you might wonder why I wasn't in the college yet since i was older, the truth is just that I didn't want to

I'm sitting on my plastic chair totally mind blown, I didn't get this much shock when I heard the price my game was supposed to sell for. This was a part of the partnership contract right in front of me, the company Mr Dave worked with was gonna turn the game into a vr game. I'm not talking vr like wearing glasses and Jumping around, it was an immersive, full dive experience with your consciousness being projected into the game. Technology had come a long way and the line between imagination and reality was really blurry in this generation. But I had thought it would be a couple more years before vr would advance to this stage, hence my absolute shock, and the fact that my game was gonna be one of the first to become a full dive vr got me on cloud nine. Click!!! With a flash of light from his phone, I regained my senses, this bastard just took a picture of my stupifide expression. " Hahahah... You should have seen the look on your fa.... Oh wait you can" And with that said he tur

On the shores of the vivere island, the sun was at its peak and the skies were the most vibrant blue anyone could see. The trees were tall and dense with mountain ranges visible in every direction. The waves moved back and forth as if shy to meet with sandy beach. But if one looked closely, on one of the many beaches on the vivere island there were hundreds of people if strewn about, all lying on the sandy but wet grounds as if it was the most comfortable mattress they had ever used. There wreckages laying around as well ranging from huge metal scraps down to more mundane things like luggage, all these told the tales of a great mishap at sea. Urrgghhh!! Damn isn't this too realistic?, I cant feel my face. Shitty developers……. Oh wait that me, I take that back. I'm ashore and I'm surrounded by dozens of players all seemingly waking up from a coma. In front of me is the island of vivere, one the main islands of this game plot. This game world consists of four islands connected to

With slow and steady steps, Athena-sama and I carefully walked through the dungeon. well I was being careful, the girl was just down right nonchalant and playing with her metal rod.Noticing how carefree she was I decided to just be silent about it, she was in for quite a shock.Inside this tunnel was really peculiar, it was made of wood,the roof was made from what seemed to be the roots of the very tree that led us here if that was even possible.It was dark in here with our source of light being the algae that grew literally everywhere in this cave or whatever this was.After walking for abiut a minute more we finally come across an old wooden door that looked like it was gonna collapse at any moment but somehow was still standing. Reminds me of the old people back in Nigeria.Placing my hand on the door I finally get the notification i had been waiting for[You party has discovered a hidden dungeon. Alfonso's lair.Your party is the first to discover a dungeon on the island of vive

Athena-sama and I had left the underground cabin a few hours ago, we ate the fruits of the huge tree which tasted like lime but had miraculous healing effects. We were now fully healed and heading back to the shores where most players would be. “ So what the hell is this magic tome thingy?“ , she asked while flicking her short hair behind her left ear. It's the work of Alfonso an all his experiments and research of magic, in gamer terms, it's a class change item. U can acquire the mage class with this stuff right here. “ Mage seems handy, I mean that Alfonso guy didn't even move from the alter but he kicked both our asses”. You can have it if you want it. I don't like ranged classes as much. “Oh really?, now I see why you ran straight up to a mage to end up getting your ass handed to you”. At least I didn't get barbequed I retorted. “Any ways thanks for the tome, you can keep the rest of the loot, hehehe”. There isn't really much 'loot' you know? “ How do I use this tome thin
