Dynasties Online

"It is amazing how interconnected the world can be at times."

"How one small event in one duchy can greatly impact a whole kingdom."

"And how the past has a strange way of coming back to bite you."

Reginald Coulan, creator and head of House Aurellion in Dynasties Online.

....

Reginald removed his jet-black headset after returning from the virtual world. His muscles, which had been still for 12 hours straight, began to ache as the lazy player stretched them out to relax them, slowly kneading all the knots out of them as they continued to click for a good half an hour, feeling nowhere near as tired as he did when he was constantly running around during the Dynasty History System which surprised him slightly.

This was primarily thanks to the players sleeping at night during the game, which helped lower the stress on their brains so that they were not like brainless zombies when they woke back up in the real world like Reginald was when he first woke up.

’Damn, I never thought my actions during my last Dynasty History Event would lead to a minor inconvenience to my plan.’

Reginald thought, thoroughly disgruntled as he reflected on his 6 in-game days, where 3-4 were nothing but him and his three friends, Jordis, Norfaelor and Vegrif, travelling to the Nathian royal capital of Narthonia with nothing interesting happening at all. At first, the novel experience of riding a horse, which he had never done before, kept him occupied, but as he slowly got the hang of it and didn’t fall off every 10 minutes, his time travelling was getting more and more tedious.

Even in the real world, Reginald hated travelling, and so having to ride on a horse that would leave his backside sore only to check into a tavern and spend a few silvers for a bed was not his idea of fun at all, and after spending 6+ in-game days playing Dynasties Online its amazing realistic graphics was no longer novel enough to keep his attention.

This actually nearly made the lazy and effort-phobic Reginald quit the game. However, he remembered that he could make money from it and had little else better to do anyway. He also thoroughly enjoyed his Dynasty History events, finding a strange thrill in commanding battles and negotiating with powerful nobles even if he was afraid of what striving for power would do to him.

There were many reasons for Reginald to begin building his company, though he had to make sure that neither his face nor any of his friend’s faces were seen too much during negotiations; otherwise, this company’s connection to House Aurellion would be exposed the moment his character Railius revealed his true identity to the world, and this was something he did not want for it could be a useful pawn in getting information from around the world that the young player could trust.
