6 Chapter 6

The next day, James checked forum sites to see what were people thinking about. No surprise, it was about The Realm of Legends. People were going crazy over it. They were all speculating on how the game will work, considering that the game's site only had the minimum amount of information. There was nothing on the world itself. The explanation on the leveling system was very basic. After looking around online some more, James found something really surprising.

Apparently, many people tried to get the information from Starry Dawn with money, but Starry Dawn turned them all down. There were also news of many famous guilds in other RPGs holding auditions for the upcoming game. Even some large corporations are hiring famous gamers to form guilds ran by them. James found this startling.

'Why are so many people trying to get an advantage before the game even starts? Is there something that I don't know about?'

James then decided to look more into the reason on why people are seemingly going overboard for a video game. After looking at some sites with speculative opinions in this, he started to understand why this was happening. The potential value of in game properties is the reason. With such little information about the game, and all the hype surrounding it, some people are willing to take the risk for a profit. Out of curiosity, James decided to take a look at the World Dive capsules prices. He was shocked to find out that the prices had nearly doubled. He then realized how lucky he was to win a tier 3 capsule from the lottery. He then went into his capsule to try and get use to virtual reality before the game can out.

When the menu showed up, he picked the coliseum. He tried to run without tripping, but he mostly failed at that. But he was determined, and he kept running until he stopped tripping. He then tried practicing a simple punch and kick. In the real world James was not very athletic, so it took him awhile to get those things right. While doing all of that, James had an idea form in his head. He logged out and started exercising. He did that for a week before going back into the capsule. When he tried doing basic movements in virtual reality, he found them slightly easier to do than the last time he was on. James was excited to find out about this, then he realized something. If an average Joe could figure this out a week before the release, when did the smart ones figured this out. There are also many athletes with years of training. These are the type of people who will have the advantage when the game launches. With this information, James decided to do what he can to get an edge when the game starts.
