The Hunt is on. A Fanfiction in the Ready Player One universe.
CHAPTER ONE
My name is Max Fields. When I first heard about the "Easter Egg Hunt" that James Halliday left behind before he died, I thought to myself. "Oh man. I have to try to win this." Basically, whoever wins the hunt, gets ½ Trillion dollars, Becomes CEO of Gregarious Simulations Systems, and gains complete control over the OASIS. The OASIS is basically a whole other reality inside of a simulation. It comes built in with its own Public-School System, A currency, And every single world from Pop Culture. If you want to go to Hill Valley from Back to The Future, You can. If you want to go to Reach from Halo, You can. All with a low registration fee of 25 cents. Back to the real world, the whole world is in an Energy Crisis, People are living in slums called "the stacks." The Stacks are basically just RV's and Trailers stacked on top of each other. It's a shitty place to live. I just live with my younger sister Emily. My dad died while he was working on power lines, and my mom committed suicide shortly after Dad died. But this was 5 years ago so I'm over it, I still miss them though. I got my first OASIS console when I was 7. My dad helped me set up the console and create my account and avatar. The moment I first logged into the OASIS my mind was BLOWN. The graphics look mind-blowingly like Real Life. The game doubles as a MMO like World of Warcraft and a social game like VRChat. My in-game name is Reaper. My avatar has dark and short hair, A long black cloak, and two revolvers on the sides for decoration. (My real weapons are A sword and a UNSC assault rifle from Halo.) Usually when I log into the OASIS I always spawn in my ship "The Autumn". I always have a Pre- Login ritual, I eat a slice of pizza, drink a Red Bull, and then I put on my Haptic gloves, Turn on the console, Put on my visor and step into the OASIS.
