First off, I'd like to say thank you for bothering to read this, as this will be my first fic. This a No Man's Sky fanfiction that I was inspired to write because of PaganWanderer's fic Journal of a Wanderer with some story elements from Intrestsofthemind's World Similarities Book series so please check them out they're better than mine. (FYI italics are the protagonist's current thoughts while quotations in italics is him speaking out loud) So, without further delay…
Chapter 1: Into an Infinite World
Lunch time, my most loathed time of day. Why? Well because It reminds me constantly about how alone I am in school hah, no friends, no buds, no amigos to speak of…just no one to talk to, and that makes me sad. "Oh my god did you hear?"Why no Jess I didn't hear "Man I must have lifted 200lb easy!" Well good for you Mike.I don't know why I can't just go out there and socialize, every time I try to fit into groups I feel like a third wheel…I mean I'm not ugly (at least I don't think I am). Sometimes I feel like I fit in nowhere, well at least not in school.
4:45 I off the bus and go straight home, through the gate and into my room to the one place I feel I belong, No Man's Sky, a game I love so dearly. I got it when it released and to me it lived up to the hype, to the general internet it's a burning tire pile with manure thrown in for good measure. I mean all games have flaws and compared to others games this is a FAAAAR from the worst. In this virtual world I feel contempt and have a sense of purpose. If I lived in that galaxy I would be set I know the ins and outs of that world, I would never feel alone like some reviews decried and foundation update had fixed any issues I had, after that they would just be adding more to a game I couldn't get enough of. I mean how coul-BZZZT BZZZT Huh? that's odd I never get any texts. Unknown number: do you truly love that world? What? Ha! All right I'll bite. Lucas: who is this?Unknown number: someone who likes to listen maybe a bad move to reply to this guy. Unknown number: don't be afraid What? Lucas: okay listen, you're good at listening, right? Well listen here leave me alone. You give me serious creeper vibes how do you even know what I was thinking about?Unknown number: you want to live in that world? You won't be the first to do so recently. Alright that's enough!Lucas: OK you better stop contacting me or I'll call the police! TRY TO DO ANY VOODOO SHIT AND YOU'RE IN FOR A WORLD ODZZZZZZZZZZZZTZTZTZTTZTZ FUUUUUUCK ME MY HEAD! "AHH SHIIT!"… and everything goes dark Lucas's room is empty only a small depression on the chair signifies that he was even there.
TO BE COUNTINUED…
