Local man John Ryan from Dunmore East in Waterford told his mates down the pub that he wanted a Gold Foil Monster for Christmas from his wife. After the laughter had died down and the smiles changed to concerned looks John revealed his secret to his friends.

"So let me get this straight" asked his best friend Gary.

You are a 40 year old man who collects these Monster cards.

"That would be correct" replied John.

And when you buy the cards, do they come in the post? asked Simon

No, they are digital non fungible tokens and you own them online. replies John

So What do you do with them asks Gary.

You fight them against other players online and you win tokens

And which one do you want?

I want a gold Obsidian who is a new summoner and she belongs to the chaos legion John replies.

And what's so special about her,

She's a summoner that gives plus 1 magic to all monsters

*What does a bloody summoner do?

She's kinda the boss . She summons the monsters

And why a gold one?

They are just shinier and nicer and some of the competitions are for gold cards only

Does Amanda know you are at home playing with these Monsters?

You see, I'm making a few quid out of the game but I don't wanna tell her it's from the Monster's game.

What do you mean you are making a few quid?

Those tokens can be exchanged for goods and services.

And how much have you earned??

Enough for her to notice in the old bank account. She's not asking questions however. I think she thinks I am a drug dealer and she's turned into a mafia wife. She enjoys the earnings and turns a blind eye to where it came from. It's probably better this way rather than explain the mechanics of the monster game.

Jesus John, most people our age want socks and jocks and you want some monster summoner in gold to defeat your enemies in some random game.

I do yes. I want to wipe anyone with the life splinter off the face of the earth.

Woah woah Slow down egghead!!

What's the Life Splinter? Anything to do with the rat in the turtles?

No nothing to do with brave old Master Splinter. It's the group you pick. There are 6 Splinter groups: Life, Death , Earth, Water, Fire and Neutral

So like Captain Planet

Exactly like Captain Planet

So who is the best? I'd say death is

Not sure actually they all have their own pro's and con's. Some are better at magic, some are better at attack, other groups heal well. Each to their own

Can Death die?

Yes

John this is the nerdiest thing you have come out with since doing those press ups on Twitter for some currency called Steem

Does it look like I give a shit. I'm 40, married with 2 kids. I can be as nerdy as I want when I want. I have plenty of friends in Monsters anyway. Way cooler than you guys.

Is your wife going to have an affair when she finds out about what you are really doing?

She can if she wants. She knows I'm a nerd. Doubt she will tell her friends and if she does have an affair then maybe I can get the daily quests in

*Only joking, I am currently earning so many tokens renting some monsters that it is paying off the mortgage and I got her a Mini Countryman from selling a level 4 Spirit of The Forest *

What?!?!?!

Your monsters are paying off the mortgage?

Yeah all the early players are all pretty much millionaires by now

Fuck Johnny why didn't you say so What's the link? Can you get us in on it?

Who is your favourite monster?

A little monkey fella in Earth. He's a nippy wee bastard. Only costs one mana.

What's mana?

Will take too long to explain it

Is there any female hot monsters?

I was waiting for that question sleazy Joe

A couple

Xenith Archer is fit
Nerissa Tridawn at a push. I have the right woman for you Joe. Divine Healer. Right up your street

Divine Healer does sound sexy actually. She can divine heal me any day.

There's a couple of old lads at the bar listening to this conversation Johnny and I think we could be in a bit of bother.

1 man gets up from his stool, tall, muscly, you would not like to get a slap off him. Drinks pints of jaeger for breakfast after his cold winter nights at sea fishing. 3 large strides get him down to the table.
Which one of you pricks was talking about some Monster game?

Silence

The boys all look away and leave John to admit it was him.

Me said John

Well well well said the man who reeked of fish guts.

It's your lucky day. I've pulled a gold foil Obsidian in my Chaos Legion packs and I am willing to let it go for 50,000 Dec.

Sold said John and the two shook on it and the man went back to his stool at the counter.

Close your mouth lads. Monsters are mainstream now!!!

I was out golfing with my mates last week.
They were wondering what I was going to do next. I told them I was making a few euros from playing crypto games and it was pretty much the same conversation. 😂

Love the way this was put together.
Was it a true story at the end?
