Chapter 50: The Chaotic Dynasty Online Forums.
"Dynasties Online is known as the hacker’s hell."
"A lesson to all to always read terms and conditions no matter how fast one wants to accel."
"Though boring things that people agree to outright."
"Sometimes they end certain important rights."
"Such was the case for many hackers so bad."
"That the friend system happily sent them mad."
Julius Butler to James Larant.

Reginald was plunged into an eerie darkness when he returned to the real world. The icy late winter breeze which streamed through the window chilled his bones as he quickly went to shut the open window, which had aired out his small room and looked at his phone to get the time. It was 9 pm, and as if his body had just woken up again, the suppressed hunger pangs reappeared and struck him. Having missed dinner, the young, starved university student was famished and quickly went to satisfy his need to eat, realising that he had spent nearly 7 real-life hours in the game.
While his body was relaxed and rearing to go after being still for an extended period, his mind was exhausted from his time in the game, as one must remember that the game basically transported someone’s consciousness to the virtual world, so any feeling of tiredness would be mental instead of physical.
The main reason for the in-game time limit per day was to allow people to exercise so they could stay physically fit because if someone does not use their muscles for an extended period of time, then they will begin to disappear, alongside this the time limit was also implemented because the game was mentally taxing on people.
After staggering over to the kitchen, his mind so out of sync that he had to use the wall support, Reginald quickly cooked and began chomping through a pizza, his preferred meal of choice for when he was tired due to its simplicity and taste he then brought up the dynasty online forums.
