[WP] Occasionally, as a joke, you touch a random brick, hoping it opens a secret entrance, or speculate that the musician crossing the street has a tommy gun in his guitar case. Anything to distract you from your boring life. Today, you blurted out "Inventory!" and a video game menu appeared.

[WP] The summoned hero was neither a fighter nor a magic caster. He called himself a "new-clee-ar fizz-izz-ist" whatever that means. Now he has sent you to collect a special rock for him. Why he would need a rock, you will never know, but he even gave you a device that clicks when you find it.

[WP] You wake up. Short of breath, your head pounding. You see bright lights all around you. And then a glass enclosure. A rather well-dressed humanoid enters the room, leading smaller humanoids along with it. "And this little guy is our most recently revived, he was born over 32,000 years ago."

[WP] At first, you were a really good looking 50 year old. Then a fantastic looking 60 year old. Now, at age 98, you're pretty sure you're immortal, and are about to embark on a quest to figure out why.

[WP] "Captain, detecting missile launch! from the planet's surface!" "It seems humanity isn't interested in joining the galactic alliance after all. Damn, and I had such high hopes...
