I am sure this applies everywhere for everyone. It is also particular for playing games. Hey, even the one in Facebook. Admit it, at one point, everyone does this.
Here’s the thing: there is one game where everyone does play. Your life.
You log in right after exiting the womb, fresh into the world at Level 1. It is up to you to level up by gaining experience. Sure, maybe you don’t get to pick all those cool names like D@rk Kn1ght or something else but hey, that’s your first obstacle.
Like any game, you start as a novice. Know nothing, no skills but basic ones and you need to go through many tutorials before you can actually play the real game. This “tutorials” are called your adolescent life. Rebel all you want but you are bound to these so-called tutorials.
Depending on situation, you end the tutorial earlier or later. After learning the control and action buttons, you are ready to journey into the unknown. (Remember, still Level 1 or in some cases where demonstration is needed, Level 2)
Here is where you need to train hard to level up. As you slowly learn to do something, you slowly gain experience. This is when a set of skills will be made available for you. I’ll call it “Life Skills”. Select the appropriate ones because this will stick with you forever. Remember, you only have enough slots to equip some of the skills. Choose wisely.
Getting familiar with your skills? Now you have to master it. Certain skills can branch into other better skills. In majority of the cases, you need to level up to obtain more skills. With the amount of skills you have and the level you are at, you can now choose a Job.
Let’s backtrack a bit. While leveling up, you will find friends. If there are enough friends, you can become a party. Hanging out with them, doing things together and learning new skills will make you level up faster. Just look out for those lazy asses. They will be a burden to you and might slow the party down.
At a certain point, you will start complaining that it is so hard to level up no matter how long it takes. That will definitely happen. It’s what you would face. The monsters are attacking and you have to fight back. What are these “Monsters” now? A lot. Maybe it can be a bad hair day or even getting in trouble with the school teachers. That’s hard? Wait until you meet the “Boss”! They can tear you apart and you might need to do it alone. The SPM can be the Boss or heck, even your rival.
Along the way, remember to pick up some quest. You learn more and if lucky, gain new items. Talking about items, how can you even forget to get better equipments and accessories? The clothes you wear and technologies you use can be the equipment! The more you level up, the better equipment you can have. That’s one thing, but how about the cost of the equipments? Really now, that’s just the beginning.
You haven’t been introduced to a guild yet! In other words, your company! You have to take tenacious guild quest whereby it will kill you if you do it alone! This is where teamwork with your guild members comes into play. The rewards are amazing and worth your time. Worth your time?? What about your friends in your friend list? What about the time for them? You cannot just commit to the guild alone!
This is just part of your game. What about finding love? Or even not finding love? What happens when someone pass away? There are more quests, side-quests and missions to complete. If you decide to give up, that’s all you have. The same level everyday. No progress and there is nowhere you can go.
So remember, your life is like a game. Give up and you go nowhere. Continue training and you can be at the top of the world. Remember, you can even be a Guild Master. Or even the best in your Job. Fight through the monsters to meet the boss. Defeat the boss and do it all again. There are no repetitive quests.
Do it with caution. Do it with courage. Whatever methods suit you. Never log out. This is YOUR game. And finally, good luck.
