I was woken up in the forest by two strangers. they might be related, idk. anyways, they gave me a free land deed and I accepted it. then they were like "lmao, now that you have land you have to pay taxes." damn ok. one of the strangers that finessed me into a life of servitude to the government gave me the choice: a dog, a cat, a bear, and a little girl. wtf, I guess I'll take the dog. their name is "a puppy." i start doing quests in order to pay taxes and not go to prison and she asks me to save her puppy from a cave. don't worry, the cave shouldn't be too dangerous she says. ha. I died like 14 times. I rescue her puppy and return it. she thanks me and then the reward was... her puppy. now I have two dogs. but that is when my fortunes changed. there was a new dialogue option. "how would you like to get some tail t'night?" I say to the strange lady. and then I prostituted myself to her. and when we were done she throws money at me. the other stranger does the same thing. the advisor they brought along also paid for my services. I go into town and I am whoring myself out to half the town. I am swimming in gold. I go into the mayor's office to pay taxes. he also wanted a piece of that ass. we got nasty on the floor of his office. I am officially a sex worker. upon returning to my homestead, one of my dogs has a quest. it says they are hungry and they want some meat. so I fed them puppy meat. they loved it. my other puppy had a quest as well. they have a son they haven't seen in a long time, and they wanted me to deliver their puppy a lectern. one of the strange sex pests that gave me the land soon found themselves in debt. a whopping 20 million in debt, to be exact. and for some reason it is now my responsibility to make that happen. but they also sold me a book on how to evade taxes. so we're even. i guess. idk wtf is going on. but I like it

Be me, level 5 Fisherman. usually get either nothing or trash. end up spending 20 minutes power leveling fishing. suddenly pull up the big one. its a 1200 pound statue of a god. I end up moving by accident while the statue is in my inventory. I immediately die from the sheer weight. 10/10 would fish again. be me lv 60 fisherman, I now turn fish into fertilizer, I "hammer" the fertilizer into "corpses". the "corpses" are then butchered which turn them into giblets for me just to turn back into bait so i can fish even more. life is good.

I have pursued the noble art of the lute, and have dedicated much of my life to the instrument. "I've done it, I've master this piece" I think to myself. I decide to make my way to the nearby capital city to perform for the masses and showcase my hard work and dedication, after arriving in the city i find the most populated square and begin to play my heart out pouring all of my love for the lute and passion for the arts into my performance. as I began playing I hear a voice boom from behind me "you can't play shit!" the voice says. Than he throws a rock at my head instantly killing me. Highly recommend this game.

Its been 3 in game years and I have accomplished zero of of the main storyline. I run a small farm full of whatever rejects I have found. One of my chickens secretly wants all humans to die. To earn money, I sell hallucinogenic mushrooms. Its not enough, the tax man is going to get me. I earn a bit more money by doing a simple errand to deliver an Assault Rifle to Port Kapul. Job done I take a break in the spa and drown to death accidentally. I spend some platinum coins and get more skills and take up sculpture and improve my mining. I eat hallucinogenic mushrooms and create a royal statue of a prostitute, which i promptly sell. The tax man is appeased, for a little bit. I earn enough money to buy a horse, and then have my pet little girl ride on my shoulders at the same time, creating a totem pole of doom. I also take up music. While practicing the little girl on my shoulders pelts me with a brick she picked up somewhere and I nearly die. I decide to go practice in front of much smaller children and old ladies for awhile. Eventually, I play at parties and earn enough to pay for the tax bill due 2 months late I didnt get to pay due to buying a horse, which I am still so bad at riding I can actually walk faster. The tax man is appeased again. I start a museum with some of the statues I make and start expanding my land and making housing and getting more farm/livestock to keep a consistent food supply. My taxes due are still going up, help. Help. The tax man is still coming. 10/10 taxes are due again.
