What If You Played Video Games for a Year Non-Stop

It all started a

year

ago when I got a new job. I have to admit that I am a big gamer, so when I saw the ad in the paper I called them immediately and wanted a

game player. It turned out that the offer was not so simple, yes. my job was to play

video

games

but all day 15 hours a day 7 days a week 365 days in total I would have 8 hours to sleep and half an hour in the morning and at night to eat and shower no days off no vacations take it or you leave it, it scared me and I was reluctant to accept, but then the employer told me my annual salary and if I did it for a

year

I would never have to work again, so I decided to give it a try on the first day, they said I would work and live in a kind of office and that I would have everything I needed at 8 am.

I arrived at the address, the place was huge and beautiful. A woman greeted me and took me to my room, a dark room. At the back of the house there was a huge TV with a gaming station, speakers and controllers, there was a comfortable sofa, a table and a bathroom. It seemed like a gamer's paradise. She was going to stay there for a whole year, I probably wouldn't even leave the room. according to the schedule my day had to start at 8 am I had half an hour to shower and have breakfast in my room at 8:30 I had to start playing well working every day the system generated a game selection according to my employer's requirements and me They made me follow them there were some snacks on the side table to eat if I was hungry without interrupting my game I also had a 10 minute break every 5 hours to go to the bathroom and exercise at 11:30 pm. the system went down and I had my dinner and shower time from midnight to 8am sleep well it seemed pretty easy and straight forward and I was very excited at exactly 8:30 my first game started the first eight hours flew by in the blink of an eye close my eyes I wanted to do some exercise but I had to wait another two hours before my 10 minute break at the end of the day my neck started to hurt a little but it didn't matter after eating some snacks I continued playing for another two hours before get my comeuppance A ten minute break was enough for me to fully recover and get back to my game for the remaining five hours.

To be honest, it was one of the best days of my life. My dream had come true. I could play all day and win a lot of money. no one bothered me the second day a piercing siren woke me up i had to cover my ears with my hands while looking for some kind of off switch the noise was unbearable i finally realized i had to get up walk to the tv and to my relief i pressed one button and it worked fine. I thought one came out. I went to take a shower and when I was done, breakfast was served at 8.30.

I was ready and excited for my second day and life had another surprise for me when I saw the schedule for the day and almost screamed that I was going to play a new game that hadn't even been released but it was too exciting. He was sure he had the best job on the planet. The fourth day today was a little more difficult. I got blisters on my fingers and had to bandage them. Playing 15 hours straight was a bit difficult and I needed extra rest. I tried to cheat and take a short break after the first three hours but it didn't work as soon as I paused and put the controller down the system went crazy it didn't turn off until I picked up the controller and started playing again, It's okay, there were no pauses.

I got it on the 15th. I had to tape my hands and fingers, now I do it constantly. My eyes are blurry and I can no longer see clearly and my legs feel like jelly. I keep reminding myself to move as much as possible, but I'm always too tired. What if I forgot how to walk yesterday? I fell asleep right after work. I didn't even eat I just fell asleep but my sleep hasn't been that restful lately in my dreams I'm always running around playing soccer building houses with cubes fighting battles and searching for objects my work haunts me and it feels like I worked 24 hours a day, not 15 .Morning came, the siren woke me up, but all I wanted to do was sleep and

what

I would do for a normal sleep like a normal person.

It's 350 days until tonight before I go to bed. I have to do it. come up with a plan, something to make my life as normal as possible. I can not keep going like this. Day 32, a month after my first small victory. I'm more organized and managed to come up with a good system that keeps me going. If I go crazy I try to play standing up as much as possible and move when I can. I spend all my breaks outside enjoying the fresh air and doing vision exercises. Although I still have blurry and itchy eyes, and the bad news today I realize that I'm seeing video game stuff creeping into my real life.

Last night I was in the shower and saw a car accident right in front of me. I completely lost it, but it's not real. It's not real to make matters worse. I'm starting to imagine that I'm actually a video game character. Strength 70 Intelligence 90 Health 50. Day 100 Being active was a good idea, but now I think I have a serious sleep disorder. I can't sleep well and I never get enough rest. I feel like I'm turning into uh well, I don't even know anymore. I'm getting so tired I don't even have the energy to exercise. I haven't been doing my workouts for a week and every time I do it. on the couch I can't feel my legs well at least I walk to the bathroom and come back twice a day so my legs aren't totally shot that's something at least I don't remember not having my whole body hurt it hurts all the time but somehow I got used to it my wrists my neck hurts everything I have headaches constantly health 30 days 260.

I have trouble going to the bathroom these days I can barely walk a couple of steps because my legs just don't move and I feel like I never leave the game, It's my life now, even if I'm on a break,

games

are all around me, my real life is just a crazy mix of all the games I've been playing today. I saw a chest on the table I had never seen before so I wanted to see

what

was inside. I been trying to grab it for years and realized it wasn't real, it was just in my head, I think I've doubled in size because now I need twice as much time on the couch as before to be healthy 20. day 366 for the first time no siren the woman woke me up at 11 am she gave me my paycheck and told me I should go the number on the paycheck was really impressive but I didn't even have enough strength to be happy.

I can't believe it's all over. I did it. Planes crashed in front of me, but I'm so used to it that I don't even pay attention with my diamond sword. My hand walks to the bathroom crushing everything in my path because I've gotten too big for this small room My friends are on a mission to capture a castle but that's not my quest anymore, they're not even real, should they be? Honestly, I'm not even sure what's real anymore. A woman leads me down the stairs to the front door. When I go out, my eyes are closed.

The sunlight is so bright that I can't see anything. The woman hands me a pair of sunglasses and I'm on. on the way I see people and other strange creatures running around cars driving and sheep in buckets grazing next to me, it takes all my energy but I take a taxi and finally head home so now I'm rich and super sick I guess I will need the rest of my life to recover from this marathon and I will never play video games again.
