Another tournament won. More cash in his pocket. Even more fame to his name. He would never need a job with all of the cash he was raking in. In school, it had started with Go tournaments. But moving around little pieces couldn't keep his interest for long and Kenji moved on to computer gaming. Every hour he wasn't in school- and the few hours he was asleep- Kenji was mastering his skills at competitive gaming.
Any MMO that held tournaments, he would be there. Kenji was known to skip class just for the sake of honing his talents. He always starting on team tournaments before going solo. It gave him the chance to leach off of his team members, memorizing their tactics and learning from their mistakes. There was little he loved more than the feeling of throwing their own moves back in their face and sidestepping their strategies when he came virtual face to virtual face to them in solo tournaments. Kenji loved hearing the lashing out when later accused of stealing their tactics. And he loved all the hate and anger that boiled in the victims of his success.
But gaming wasn't just becoming a career. It was also a hobby. Not all games were something he could earn money off of, but he downloaded every single one he could afford, just for the fun of it. But his definition of fun is what made all the younger players rage quit and cry. Kenji was the the Player Killer. All you want to do is hand in a quest and he's there to stop you from ever reaching your destination.
Every game he played, he would pick a new username because his name traveled as the amount of victims rose. He loved to befriend them, lead them on, and make them think he'd always be there for them. But when they needed him most, he was gone. He'd always beg gold off of them when he already had all he needed, or use them as bait so he could get the experience and loot. Worst of all was when he would spend so much time, convincing someone he was their friend, to a point where he could get their password out of them with promises of 'better equipment' and 'the greatest weapons.' None of those people ever got their accounts back or heard from Kenji again. Everything they owned and worked for became his.
The reasoning behind Kenji getting into gaming in the first place was to avoid his home life and family. They were always screaming at each other and the only way he could block it out was to blast the volume through his headphones. His father had a firm belief that women already had their place in life and they should stay in it. It wasn't just the kitchen, but at home, where they could do all the housework, look after the children, and be unseen. Kenji never stood up to his father or tried to tell him differently. Not once in Kenji's childhood had he tried to protect his mother or tell her that she would be okay. He stayed out of the situation all together. He never told anyone about the beatings he'd witnessed and things he'd heard. Kenji feared that these beatings would be directed toward him. So, as long as his dad kept his hands away, he'd stay in his room and play the good son.
No longer does Kenji live with his parents. He has an apartment to himself as he works away on his college classes. Computer programming and animation had become his highest interest in courses. But school still came second to his gaming. He didn't take many classes and spent every minute between them, before them, and after them in his bedroom on a computer. Until this new game came out that involved hopping into a pod.
Digimon Online was a whole new kind of gaming to him. He never knew if they'd hold tournaments for real life cash. The game seemed too new for that. But it took gaming and bullying to a whole new level. Now that he could be his character- maybe even several characters- he felt as though manipulating and attacking the other members would be on a new easy and fun level with the addition of all these senses. With the ability to touch and really hurt them.
