The Western fantasy holographic game Dream of Yar uses its powerful technology to paint players a paradise of fantasy, drawing countless players to enjoy adventures in another world.
Of course, the plot is a complete mess.
Even so, plenty of people still build lives of their own here.
Then one day, Dream of Yar announced it was shutting down, and its plot-guiding NPCs disappeared. The players were stunned by the news and could only think of one thing: throwing one last party in the game.
The player forced to mine as soon as they log in: Are you okay?
The player who gets smacked over the head every day they log in: Are you okay?
Why did they add a character who was basically a walking bug? The game was shutting down already, so why destroy their paradise too?
Later, the true face of the world of Yar was revealed to the players, and it became the moonlight in countless players' hearts.
Gulveig had slept for a hundred and fifty years. She had planned to get up and learn all about the latest things first, but who would have thought her first task would be collecting debts?
More than half of her ninety-eight thousand golden houses were empty! She was going to track down the despicable thief and make them mine gold for the rest of their life. Otherwise, she would never be able to let go of her anger.
Everyone who stole her coins was strange. One whack from her, and ten gold coins would drop. A bold idea suddenly occurred to her: if she hit every person who stole her coins a hundred times, would she get all her coins back?
As she chased them, she noticed a problem. Why were they all visitors from other worlds? And why were there so many of them? She'd better pack up and make a run for it. Yar was doomed.
Later, the Holy Son of Light, whom she had captured to use as a healing potion, told her a huge secret.
What? She was the savior? No, what kind of savior was like her?
A ridiculous savior story. If it makes readers happy, that's a success.
Theme: No matter what happens, face adversity with a positive attitude.
