Chapter 188: The One and Only Of Protagonist The Business World.
"There are many protagonists in the world."
"Main characters who have a profound effect on the world."
"Some like Reginald Coulan, the head and creator of House Aurellion in Dynasties Online, are protagonists of the virtual world, though there are many, including players from all sorts of backgrounds."
"They are leaders of great powers with vast amounts of both wealth and influence."
"But in the early part of the 22nd century there was only one in the business world."
"A man who is to be feared and respected in equal measure.
"James Larant."
"The creator of Dynasties Online, the first and likely last game of its kind."
"Others have tried to replicate his success, of course, but none ever succeeded."
"Because unlike James, who had woven his game into the very fabric of the world, creating a new virtual online marketplace by capturing the attention of the lower classes, turning it into an existence vital to the stability of countries around the world."
"Others could not."
Just like how other marketplace sites struggled to compete with Amazon, other VR games like DO failed to compete with it.
