In an attempt to prove his nerd-cred, Jason Hunter, aka "Ares9108," attempted to solo an impossible endboss, in an impossible dungeon, on his favorite IMMOG (Immersive Massively Multi-player Online Game), The Chosen Few. His toon was level capped, with all the finest gear, and his playstyle was without flaw. Even players that didn't like him would admit he was one of the finest Paladins in the game.
After a marathon thirty six hour gaming session, culminating in a victory against the invincible, [Minotaur King], his reward was a set of dice. Confused and a little annoyed Jason read the flavor text. It turned out, the dice were more than they seemed, they offered a reincarnation with an extended stat point pool, in effect a chance to have a level capped character that was better than any other in the game.
It was an opportunity he couldn't pass up. Besides, he told himself, he was getting sick of the complicated playstyle of Paladins, always balancing magic and close combat, where one mistake could spell the end. He wanted to play something simple, something like a barbarian, where he could just charge in screaming "Leroy Jenkins!" and still be the best around.
But the dice were much more powerful and mysterious than he assumed, a fact he couldn't appreciate until he woke up half naked in another world. A world, where magic works, monsters are real, and there is a decided lack of resurrecting if he screws something up and ends up dead.
Will Jason survive? Only time will tell.
