A new option of 'Switching Profiles' had appeared on his status screen, whereby he could change his primary name from 'TheBoss' to Leo Skyshard at will.
The moment he shifted his profile to Leo Skyshard, he was given the option to adjust his profile look, whereby he could change his hairstyle a bit and adjust his facial features, to make them look about 10% different to his original profile 'TheBoss'.
Changing his hairstyle to a wavy and long haired look for Leo Skyshard, while adding small touch ups to his face, Leo completed the profiles' automatic look change setting.
[ System Notification - Congratulations Player 'TheBoss', for successfully creating an alternate profile.
A new quest has been generated for the ID 'Leo Skyshard'. ]
[ Quest Notification - A new system quest has been generated.

Quest Duration - 12 months.
Rewards - Actor Class Upgrade.
Failure Penalty - ???? ]
Leo read the quest notification and felt his head go numb.
He was barely tackling living life as 'The Boss' and creating an impression amongst the masses as the best player in the game, however, he was somehow now supposed to create an alternative identity as the wealthiest merchant too?
'Has this game lost its mind or something? Does it think that becoming the number one player is too easy and hence is adding even more challenges to my plate?' Leo wondered, as he looked at the system quest and felt like it was next to impossible.
He had no real business acumen, he wasn't even sure how merchants made money in this game, yet he had 12 months to figure out how to become one.
Once again pressing 'Here', since there was no way he could ignore important information, Leo began reading about the details of his new character ID.
**************
As Leo read more about his new character ID and its restrictions, he realized that his new ID solved some of his biggest problems, however, it created countless new one's for him too.
On the plus side, his new character ID was permitted to be associated with his real life identity, so he could actually go and tell Luke and Amanda that he was Leo Skyshard even within the game and start a PM conversation with them using this ID.
The ID Leo Skyshard was also considered a completely new legal entity, with different infamy, fame and such stats, however, it also meant that it was displayed as a separate entity on the 'Rankings Leaderboard'.
Previously, it was 'TheBoss' who was ranked 1 on the leaderboard at level 151, with the second rank being DarkEmperor at 136.
Both of them had stagnated since the start of the Grand Tournament, giving other players the chance to catch up, as the spots 2-25 were very highly congested.
However, after the creation of his second ID, it was suddenly the name 'Leo Skyshard' that went to the second number on the Leaderboards, with 'TheBoss' being bumped up to 161.
This meant that regardless how many levels Leo gained, the displayed ID level for 'TheBoss' would never match his real stats and would always be +10 levels by default.
On the plus side, his character ID 'Leo Skyshard' was allowed to join guilds, organizations and take up government jobs. However, on the downside, him suddenly appearing on the leaderboards when he was previously not even within the top 1000 ranked ID's caused quite the stir on the global forums, as netizens began to speculate that Leo had gained 50 or more levels at once suddenly.
On the plus side, the role description of Leo Skyshard as provided by the system did mention that he would be given quests and guidance from time to time that would help him consolidate his position as the game's number one merchant.
However, on the down side, being given quests on the 'Leo Skyshard' ID, did not mean that he would stop receiving quests on 'TheBoss' ID, as he was still expected to play that role to perfection.
Hence, while Leo was partially happy to get this second ID, one he could be public with and claim as his own.
He was simultaneously also worried about his future, which seemed increasingly hectic and difficult.
