Troll Playing Game [Comedic GameLit Fantasy]

Hate the player, not the game!

The year is 2040. The population has skyrocketed, the climate is shifting uncontrollably, and yet human society perseveres- if only be a constantly thinning thread…

…but we don’t care about that, cause this isn’t a dystopia story. Let’s get to the fun part!

The ultimate escapism, video gaming, has taken over the world! Or, kind of. I mean, there are still plenty of people who don’t play, but it’s still doing extremely well! And by far the most popular game is the MMORPGMYTH Infinite Fantasy. Hundreds of millions, if not billions, log on to play every single day, and our protagonist is no exception.

Enter Diegi Martinez, 16-year old boy. Yes, Diegi,notDiego. He’s sensitive about that. He’s the nicest, sweetest high schooler you’ve ever known. Well, if you ignore the laziness, selfishness, pushiness, so on and so forth… but hey, he gets good grades. When he’s not busy studying or lazing around, you can bet you’ll find him playingMYTHon his derelict computer and keyboard.

Diegi is pretty good at the game, and he’s gotten famous within its community! Or more like infamous! Thanks to his toxic tendencies like exploiting glitches, excessive trolling, and verbal indecency, he’s even been banned multiple times. Yet, he always finds a way to make a new account and sneak his way back in.

But when Diegi’s trolling habits go a little too far and a certain rogue system gets fed up, Diegi finds himselfinsidea real-world version of the game! Then he’s saddled with an impossible task: complete some in-game quests and work for someoneelse’s sake for once. Oh, the horror! Starting over from level 0, can Diegi work his way back up to his former glory? Also, can he change his self-centered ways? Will he even TRY to change his self-centered ways!? Or is someone’s who’s once been a troll, always a troll?
