Level Up

You are stuck in the safe zone at one of the thousands of identical, massive school campuses. Every one of them is the same and separated by green fields, parks, and rivers.  The never-ending green view has become rather boring, and there is nothing for you to do other than gain experience points. The more experience points you have, the faster you can move on. As soon as the bell rings you enter the hallway, looking for someone, but you don’t know whom yet. The only way you can earn experience points at this level is to hitch a ride with another avatar to other planets where you can survive. You see a user in the distance walking toward the front doors. They are moving on. Your shoes slide across the tile floor as you rush to catch up because you don’t know how much longer you’ll have to wait before you catch another ride.

As you approach a newbie-level gaming zone on another planet, you see in the distance a couple of medium size orcs. Orcs, along with other monsters on this level, are too weak to kill you. When you kill one of these monsters you will either drop some coins for you to collect, or they will drop an item. This is where you received your sword, shield, and armor. You attack, and win. After you have collected as much as you can, you count your fare to make sure you have enough to get back to school. You don’t. You are now in danger of being expelled because of how many unexcused absences you have. If you get expelled you have to return your Oasis console. You must find an after-school job in order to get back to the school to avoid expulsion. If you, a third-level gunter, are seen here by the other gunters you will surly be made fun of. They already think you are a noob, so you need to try to be discrete as you work.
