CHAPTER 1.
You are a streamer in the Gamer Republic. You are clocking in to start your stream shift to generate Bits for the Gamer Republic. Viewbots have been terrorizing the kingdom, and you recently earned your private hunting license to kill them. You enter the forest with your stream up, hunting viewbots and see that you are not alone.
A pack of three wolf like creatures are staring you down, and they are not intending to attack you.
What will you do?
You approach the three wolflike creatures carefully, like Chris Pratt in Jurassic Park.
"Woah there," you say, slowly like you see in the movies.
The wolves glance at each other. They are not interested in you.
You are alone again in the gamer forest.
"Hey!" you say, waving your arms, "I'm just passing through, friendly!"
You wait, and the wolves do not attack. They are clearly curious about you, but not hostile.
"Awesome, my first three viewers! Isn't that awesome, chat?" you say excitedly. The viewcount on your arm-screen increases by 3. The largest of the wolf sits and begins to lick a paw. The other two circle you, and sniff your shoes.
They are clearly sizing you up.
"Hey, why are you watching wolf porn?" asks a chat-box.
"STOP WATCHING MY STREAM, MOM!" you scream into your arm-screen, red-faced and suddenly crying.
The wolves seem startled by their own behavior. They back away from you, and trot off into the forest. You smile at your own reaction, and then look around. The forest is quite dark.
Unshaken by the chat-box and its ridiculous claims, you proceed into a deeper level of the forest.
As you enter level 2 of the forest, a pixel sword materializes in front of you. It spins slightly in a light not of this forest. You equip it, and receive +15 strength but -20 intelligence. You decide to empty everything out of your inventory and walk off the nearest cliff.
"I'M SO CLOSE!" you say to yourself.
You come to a bridge. The bridge has no railing, and is made out of a dark wood.
The area is empty of other streamers. It's just you, your chat, and your arm-screen. There is a warning sign on the bridge, but you have -20 intelligence and can't read it. Unhindered by the sign, you stand on the bridge naked except for the pixel sword.
"That sign can't stop me," you say, "because I can't read!"
You step off the bridge.
The ground you land on is spongy and muddy.
"I made it!" you say. "My first solo stream-death!"
You pick up the sword.
You look around and see a dirt path. There are several screens of chat, some saying that you are dead, some saying you are amazing, some saying that they want to play your character. There are no hostile chat-boxes.
You walk on down the dirt path. It is dark around you. A tree dares stand in your path. You reduce it to dust with your +15 strength, and then choke on the dust due to your -20 intelligence.
You wander in a large circle until you see a lighter shade of green, and then walk back to your starting point. The path you take is long and winding. You come to a clearing, and see a large tower in the middle.
"OK chat," you say to your stream as you approach the large tower. "We are on the right track. This tower looks like something that viewbots would hide in."
You brandish your sword at the tower. "Come out and fight me, viewbots!" you shout at the tower.
There is no response.
You decide to climb up the tower. The stairs are uneven, and the tower does not seem to have a handrail.
You pause halfway up the tower and look out the window. You see all of the Gamer Forest stretching before you. You see a rider on a white horse and a standard appear on the horizon.
A knight in shining armor sits ahorse, bearing the standard of the Gamer Republic - a power glove with a middle finger on a field of green and black.
You raise a middle finger out of the window in the standard gamer salute.
The knight laughs. It is a sinister laugh.
"I AM CHRIS PRATT," he bellows. "AND I WILL FULFILL MY DESTINY!"
"Oh no, it's Chris Pratt!" you exclaim, and then you think very hard for a minute because you have -20 intelligence. "I won't let Chris Pratt defeat the viewbots and earn the Chest of Bits in this tower. I must defeat Chris Pratt in hand-to-hand combat."
Sir Pratt, Gamer Knight charges down the hill towards the tower. His standard streams valiantly in the wind and the hooves of his horse kick up dirt in a splendid scene.
You are naked and wielding only your pixel sword. You are still standing in the tower stairwell, halfway to the top. Suddenly, Sir Chris Pratt runs into the tower, and you have to choose whether or not to engage him.
Sir Chris Pratt is much bigger than you, and he is also armed.
You decide to fight Sir Chris Pratt.
Sir Chris Pratt has a reputation for being an excellent fighter, so you prepare for battle. You see that you have a few options.
Sir Chris Pratt, the Gamer Knight, draws his silver sword and charges up the stairs to face you. You brandish your pixel sword, preparing a devastating one-liner to meet your foe. However, due to your -20 intelligence you trip over your bare feet and begin falling down the staircase of the tower.
You fall head over heels down the staircase of the tower and hit Sir Chris Pratt with so much force that he is knocked unconscious at the foot of the stairs. You have defeated Sir Chris Pratt. You stand over his body. The word "LOOT" appears over Chris Pratt's body all in gold, which means the loot is gonna be epic.
"Look at that, chat!" you say excitedly to your arm-screen, addressing your viewers. "We killed our first fellow streamer!"
Since the 3 wolves disappeared your viewers have gone back to 1. At first you are sad, because it did not have to be this way. Then you realize you will gain at least 5 streamer levels from Looting Sir Chris Pratt.
You Loot the body of Sir Chris Pratt and receive a chest of bits.
You have a total of 40 bits.
You have learned that there is no honor in the real world.
You take Sir Chris Pratt's armor and items. His horse is tied up outside the tower. You are now the Gamer Knight as well as a streamer. You decide to finish ascending the tower to face the viewbots at the top of the tower. You ascend the stairs and open a door at the top of the tower and find yourself at the very top of the tower.
There is a metal balcony around the very top of the tower.
You prepare yourself for the viewbots.
"You know what chat," you say to your arm-screen, addressing your 1 viewer, "I don't know what viewbots look like. But we're about to fight them!"
You are very excited. You are wearing shiny new armor that you looted from Chris Pratt. You have a powerful sword. All that you need now are enemies to defeat. You don't have to wait long. All around you, viewbots begin to appear. You are surprised to see that viewbots resemble large metal spheres with drills on them and very small legs.
The viewbots roll around threateningly. You give a shout and attack one with your sword. your sword bounces off the metal with a loud clang.
One of the viewbots moves towards you.
You try to defend yourself, but the viewbot is fast and attacks quickly, drilling through your armor and killing you.
You are dead. The viewbots take you to viewbot heaven.
You will be displayed to chat as a "viewbot kill".
You decide to end your stream. You have earned 40 Bits for the Gamer Republic. Long live gamers!
The End
