A carefree middle aged ex-professional gamer VRMMORPG casual play

Open world RPG at its finest

(A/N Notes: What is this story for? It's for me to put some memes into a story because I wanted to)

"Grass... Grass... Grass... What's that?"

Red Null was picking up herbs without knowing their properties left and right, without any care for his inventory space, when he saw something else on the ground

"An apple?... And this tree is an apple tree, huh?... ... ... Time to forage some food"

And he easily climbed the tree thanks to his acrobatics skill, then he began putting more apples in his inventory

Minutes later

"Grass... Grass... Grass... Wheat... Wheat?"

He found a wild wheat

"... Meh, whatever. Into the inventory you go"

And he also put it in his inventory

Around an hour later

"Grass... Gra-"

[Inventory full, you can't store the item]

"Huh? This can't be right, I didn't even pick that much stuff?... D*mn... That's a lot of stuff"

His inventory was full of useless and unidentified items he picked on the ground

"Well, for now, I'll just try to identify one item and see if it's worth keeping it... And the winner is you!"

He picked the pebble he found and identified it with his crafter skill and it turned out to be a... Common pebble and he threw it on the ground like the trash it was, and he stored the grass he just picked up in the slot that the pebble was using

"Guess I'll just go back to the city and check all this stuff that I got"

That same in-game night

"F**K!!! Stop giving me more trash to work with!!!"

And as clear as his line, he was only getting trash from the trash he was carrying

"Well... At least I got some of this Choker flower and a few potion flowers... But, why are they so similar!? Do the devs want us players to die from choking!?"

Red had a very concerned face for a brief moment

"Maa... I can't use this Choker flower yet, so I'll just leave it in my inventory for the time being... I still have some more minutes before going to sleep, so let's do some science!... Some alchemical science!"

He then picked the alchemy kit given to him by his crafter skill and began making health potions with the potion flowers

"And donezo!"

He managed to make five potions

"Hmmm... My potions have an effectiveness of 11% of healing while the ones I received from the game only have 10% percent... Well, I'll keep both since you never know when you'll need a bunch of potions"

And as he sorted his now cleared inventory, he noticed that it was almost time to sleep. So he logged out, put to the VR headset to recharge, and went to sleep

The next day, afternoon

"Wooo! Boy! Now I can finally hunt some animals"

Red Null was on the beginner plains, that was now with way fewer players, maybe because it was Monday

"I already tested the timing of most attacks, so all I need to do is find some enemies to train some combos wombos... But first I need to hunt ingredients"
