Back To Retro
“Retro” an old MMORPG game that came out in the year 2014. Despite it being popular way back then, it started gradually losing its popularity over the years, and many of its supporters began to dwindle.
“Retro” was an open world game, based in a fantasy world of magic and swords, the interesting part about this game was there wasn’t a limit to what you can achieve. No level caps, no bugs, no rules, just you, your friends and your imagination. Demons, gods, and many more species existed within this game. But over time people began to be drawn to the newer games and systems that came out, losing its appeal and becoming irrelevant and forgotten to most.
Except for Mikel, a 16 year old young man who still plays the game today. Ever since this game came out, all he did was play it. After school, outings with his family, and even during his summer break. But even after a while Mikel started to feel bored of the game as well.
He even considered dropping the game after so long, but one day something interesting happened. January 12th, 2022. Mikel got a strange notification when he logged into retro. ‘Thank You For Your Years Of Support! We Here At Nedstum.Inc Thank You For Playing Our Game After So Long, Please Accept This As Our Last Thanks and Goodbye’.
A box appeared with the words ‘Accept Gift?’ Mikel smiled shrugging hi shoulders and hit the word ‘yes’. Suddenly his room filled with a bright flash of light, everything got engulfed within the light especially Mikel. But soon after he regained the ability to see again, Mikel realized something was off, he wasn’t in his room anymore. But within the game itself.
Now stuck in a that was no more than an old game to him, Mikel makes his way through the vast and complex world he finds himself in. And …he might not be alone either.
