this is your life

you are often treated as a loser outcast at school. You are often verbally bullied & picked on because you get the top scores in every subject for your year. You never talk to anyone and you have no friends. You have never had a girlfriend and have zero experience with girls. You never enjoy school

for the past 10 years you’ve had a hobby at home, and that was sim racing, every day after you came home from school and finished your homework you would jump onto your sim rig and race. But you didn’t have an online pass (steam, Xbox gold, PlayStation plus, like that) so instead of racing against online players you raced against ai. You didn’t have an online pass because your parents were strict and thought if you got online you would be blindsided and stop studying. This lead to you having to search for mods to improve the difficulty of the ai, and you eventually found one that was only used by 10 other people. But when you used the mod the ai’s difficultly had increased by a huge amount and instead of winning you were back at the last position. After a few years of playing on the same ai you started winning easily again, and the cycle repeated (find a mod, lose at first then win easily eventually, etc)

one day you got bored of playing against just ai so you bought an online pass secretly directly goin against your parents and put the code into your console/pc and jumped online for the first time ever. As you were inexperienced with online racing you accidentally joined in a session that was actually holding racing with massive cash prizes and was being streamed by over 100 people each with a minimum of 1.5k viewers (roughly 150k viewers minimum total). And as the race started you quickly took the lead and maintained the lead and started completely destroying everyone and ended up lapping the favourite to win 2 times, taking everyone watching by storm. But you were none the wiser and just logged off after the race and went to bed
