He was just a little Gremlin, a mischievous spirit who loved to cause mayhem with technological devices. The new computer technology of the humans was especially intriguing for him. Most of the Computer Viruses that exist today are actually his work.
But then, a mage (who at the same time, was also a hacker) discovered the little demon and managed to capture hin on a magical CD. This gave the gremlin the freedom to do whatever he pleased on this CD, creating data, changing data, deleting data... But he could not leave his prison nor could he influence data that was not on the CD.
Sure, anyone could download every single data from his portable prison on any PC with a CD-rom drive, but the young technomage made sure that this CD would not find its way into the wrong hands.
Sadly, this young, promising mage could not afford paying the rent of his apartment, so he got thrown out. And even more sadly, he forgot the CD prison of the little Gremlin within his old room (where it slid down behind the shelves that came with the apartment).
When he realized his mistake, he quickly came back to correct his error - but it was already too late. The landlord had found the CD, was unable to delete the strange data on the CD and sold it at Ebay.
And so, the CD found its way into the development center of a famous game company which name we'd prefer to keep anonymous.
One of the game developers had bought the CD and discovered a very interesting game creating program on it, similar to those RPG makers which anyone could use to create his own RPGs using resources that came with the game.
But this game was amazing... it was able to create its own resources if the user just fills in a description form of any person, and the program will be able to create character sets out of those descriptions. Also, the user could change the facts regarding this new character anytime.
When the game producer realized he wasn't able to find the programmer of this incredible game, he decided to put it on the market. The new game, called 'RPG Reality' quickly turned into a fast seller. And so, many copies of this game were being sold.
What no one expected was that the game was in fact a creation of the imprisoned Gremlin, who was hoping that one day, if he had caused enough mayhem with this game, he would have gathered enough power to break free from his prison.
And so, no one expected the... 'unusual' magical properties of the game, and the strange results its usage would entail.
And so, almost anything that was being created with this RPG maker would sooner or later become reality. And if a real-life person would be used to make a certain game character... it would be this person who would be affected by all changes made to this character.
And so, one exemplar of the new game found its way into the possession of a certain person...
Who could this unfortunate person be?
