GAMERS' LOVE

a story on gamers fall in love, but will their love survive a hidden secret (with a touch of Shakespearean style)

By Ian MathengePublished about a year ago 3 min read

Once again in the world of fantasies, there were two gamers named Jack and Jill. They met each other online while playing their favorite game, "World of Warcraft." They quickly became friends and started playing together every day. However, Jack had a secret that he kept from Jill. He was actually a top-ranked player in the game and had a reputation for being ruthless and cunning.

As they got to know each other better, they realized that they had a lot in common. They both loved video games, fantasy novels, and movies. They even had the same sense of humor. But, Jack couldn't shake off the feeling that he needed to keep his gaming persona a secret from Jill, afraid that she might see him differently.

"My fair lady," said Jack, "my heart doth ache with longing to tell thee of my true self. But alas, I fear rejection and so I keep my secret close."

"What secret is this, my lord?" said Jill. "Thou need not fear rejection from me. I shall always love and accept thee, warts and all."

"Thou art too kind, my lady," said Jack. "But, I fear the truth may change thy mind."

One day, while they were playing together, Jack mustered up the courage to tell Jill that he had feelings for her the poetic way:

Jill, with hair of raven black,

Eyes like jewels, deep and dark.

Skin as smooth as summer's eve,

A beauty that none could believe.

With lips as red as rose's bloom,

And curves that leave hearts doomed.

Her laughter, like music, doth ring,

A symphony to the ears, it doth sing.

Her grace and poise, so regal and fair,

A goddess, in mortal form, doth appear.

She walks with a step, both light and sure,

A vision, forever to endure.

In her presence, one cannot help but stare,

Captivated by her beauty, so rare.

Jill, a treasure, for all to see,

A true beauty, for eternity.

To his surprise, Jill felt the same way. "My lord, I have longed for this moment," said Jill. "I have feelings for thee as well."

They decided to meet in person and their first date was at a gaming convention. They bonded over their shared interests and had a great time together. But, Jack couldn't shake off the feeling that his secret would come out and ruin everything.

They continued to date and play "World of Warcraft" together. They even started streaming their gaming sessions on Twitch, where they built a large following of fans who enjoyed watching them play and interact with each other. However, Jack's secret became harder and harder to keep as his reputation as a top-ranked player grew.

As their relationship grew, they decided to move in together. They got a place with a large living room that they converted into a gaming room, complete with multiple monitors, gaming chairs, and a high-end gaming rig. Jack's secret was constantly on his mind, and he was always worried that Jill would find out and leave him.

Years went by, and Jack and Jill's love for each other and for gaming never wavered. They even got married in a ceremony that included elements from their favorite game. They continued to stream their gaming sessions and were even able to turn it into a career. But, the secret that Jack had been keeping for so long finally came out, and Jill was shocked and hurt that he had kept it from her for so long.

Just when it seemed like everything was falling apart, another female character appeared on the scene, a rival gamer named Samantha. She was jealous of Jack and Jill's relationship and saw an opportunity to come between them. She used Jack's secret to manipulate him, playing on his insecurities and eventually, Jack was drawn to her, falling for her games and forgetting all about Jill.

Samantha's true colors were revealed as the villain of the story, as she had no real feelings for Jack, she just wanted to ruin their relationship and make Jack hers. Jill couldn't forgive Jack for falling for Samantha's manipulations and ultimately ended their relationship. "Farewell my love," said Jill. "Thou hast been deceived by a wicked woman."

Jack was devastated and couldn't bear the thought of living without Jill. He became increasingly isolated and stopped streaming and playing.
