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.
