The first thing I remember after waking up in the game “Hero’s Edge” was lying in a field. I don’t remember how I got here, but I do remember things about the world I lived in before. The body I inhabit now is that of Ben Floral, the main character's best friend. I stand up and look around; I’m in a small vilge. Memories flood my head from the original owner of this body.

  Ben is an orphan who got abandoned by his parents. The writers of the game were notorious for their zy backstory writing, which could be seen throughout the game. I walk into the vilge and can feel my stomach rumble. ‘I have no money.’ I realized, hungry and lost, I wandered. When the sun started to set, I found a covered pce in an alley and sat down. I sat there thinking of what I wanted to do in this life. ‘I could meet my favorite heroine, become rich and powerful, or just py my role in the main story.’

  These thoughts popped up in my mind, and then a memory appeared in my head. In the game, one of the jokes is that all the girls that Ben likes become part of the main character's harem. At the end of the story, Ben is left alone while the main character loves a full life with his wife. Rage filled me as the memory fshed: ‘The hero gets an easy childhood, and I get this. I’ll have to work my ass off to get into the academy while he gets in through recommendation.’ I thought. I decided in the morning I’d go to the adventurers guild and try to make some money.

  I woke up hungrier than yesterday; I stood up and started making my way to the hero’s guild. I open the wooden door to the main area of the adventurers guild; inside, people sat around tables, and a giant wooden board with papers stuck to it was attached to a pilr in the middle of the room. I walked up to one of the receptionists.

  “I would like to get my adventures card and take a quest.” I told the dy working the receptionists desk.

  “Fill out this paper.” She said and handed me a paper. I walked and sat down at a table, looking at the paper. It infected me to put my hand in the middle; I did, and writing started to appear.

  [Name: Ben Floral]

  Age: 14

  Level: 3

  Skills: telekinesis lvl. 1

  I looked at the paper in amazement as all my info instantly appeared. ‘I love magic,’ I thought to myself as I got up to give the paper back to the receptionist.

  “Thanks.” She said as I handed it to her. A moment ter she gave me a card with all my info on it. “It will update as your status changes; right now you're an iron-level adventurer, which is the lowest level.” I nodded at her words and got ready to leave. ‘I should try bending spoons with my mind,’ I thought as I walked out the door.
