I’m back with another shot at Markmin (which is also a new one-shot overall rather than a finished draft, woops, I should really get those done) that was mainly inspired by the movie Ready Player One since I watched it recently! I haven’t read the book, so I really only know the movie, which was really cool overall. The idea of virtual reality has always appealed to me and I wanted to make it into a proper fic, but I ended up with something more of a general gaming type of AU instead. I’ll get to a more formal virtual reality fic soon, I’m sure.

Disclaimer: I don’t really play much games, so I used very minimal info based on the few knowledge I’ve picked up from listening to my boyfriend rant about his own gaming escapades, so do excuse any glaring mistakes! The game I use in the story is made up although lowkey inspired by the only game I found myself playing which is Hearthstone, so technically my only possible mistakes are in gaming lingo since I don’t have any game specifics since Hearthstone is mainly a card game despite being based off World of Warcraft. If ever, the cringe-y game parts don’t last too long. I think.

The story is also kinda more pre-Markmin than actual Markmin, soooo...
