From PixelQuest to Part-Time Quest

Liam had spent hours grinding in his favorite game, PixelQuest, but now his mom

wanted him to get a “real job.” So he landed a part-time gig at the local gaming store.

Day one was… weird. People kept asking him for cheat codes and the newest release dates,

and he had to stop himself from explaining combos like he would in the game. By lunch,

he realized that stocking shelves and helping customers was basically a real-life quest.

XP? Sure, it was mostly in smiles and tips, but it felt kind

of satisfying. When his shift ended, Liam unlocked a new achievement in his head: “IRL

Worker Level 1.” Not bad for a gamer, right?
