Life in Sanctuary is rough, especially after the destruction of the Worldstone. I've been staying in Westmarch, which should be pretty safe until my year is up.

I tried learning magic, but it only seems to work for people born here, so I'm working as a blacksmith. I'm the greatest metallurgist in the world and have "invented" the steam hammer. They don't have potatoes but the food is otherwise decent.

But not a day goes by that I don't regret this decision. I didn't have a chance to tell my wife and kids where I was going... they probably think I'm either dead or left them. My job and likely my home will be gone. My dad might be gone too. Don't get me wrong, a million dollars is a lot of money. But I already had a good life and fear I may have wrecked it.

I think I may have accidentally brought corona with me here. No need to tell anyone about that one. I just hope nothing comes back home with me.

    And as soon as the year passes, there's a flash of light as the VR headset comes off. It's been 1 hour since you took the deal. The money is already in your account. You go home and kiss your wife and hug your children who are so proud of you for being brave enough to take such a risk, even if your wife playfully berates you for not at least calling first. She understands, even concedes she may have done the same given the reward. You and your family live a long and happy life living as comfortably as one can keeping just enough to have stability while driving and funding important activist movements to make the world a better place. The end.
