Arc I - New Beginnings

[Chapter 2 : Spam?]

If it is like that with restrictions then my alternative would be to choose 100 people on the world. "System can I choose the form of my power to give?"

"It depends what is the form you are achieving for?"

"Well at first I was thinking about giving it in the form of a VR Gaming Pod or Headset to use but what are the tests going to be about?"

"I cannot answer that, once it hits New Years the system will select a test to enact upon the world. And the form you are thinking about can work. I want to ask you why not give the people the power directly?"

"Because I feel as if it takes away the purpose and feeling that you earned it. If you are given something for free you won't learn how to cherish it after all it took no effort to get it."

"..."

"Here is how I want to introduce it we will send out an email to many people and the first 100 who accept will be given the VR Gaming Cabin. I am somewhat skill in writing emails." Pulling up from my imagination I think of an editing software to write an email.

"Wait I need to think of a Company Name, and Logo." New World, no this is already taken Second World? nah this is to boring AH! Trying to think of a unique name is super hard.

Let's start by drawing the logo first I guess. Deleting and changing many things I just decided to do a very simple drawing of a white orb on a black background for the logo and the name will be Another World.

Company Name: Virtual Reality Corporation

Game Name: Another World

Okay so far it looks great now to create the message to send to people.

Dear User,

We are the Virtual Reality Corporation or VRC for short.

Our goal is quite simple we wish for beta testers who wish to playtest our game Another World.

Do you agree to playtest? [Y] / [N]

This is short and sweet I think this is good enough. And to those who select yes will be sent a Virtual Reality Gaming Cabin. "Hey, system is it possible for this to get stolen I don't want it going to the wrong people."

"No as it contains your power it cannot be forcefully taken by others only the owners can use it."

"That's nice." Clicking send I sent out the email to every single person on Earth who had a working email. At this time all over the world people of all origin where receiving the email in question.

=== ??? POV ===

A man in downtown Korea tired from playing the same MMORPG's everyday grinding for material, doing daily log-in, and a bunch of activities for bonus didn't feel like playing the game anymore. As he was about to shut down the computer a notification for an email pop's up clicking on it he was about to delete thinking it was a spam.

But looking at it he decided to read about it before closing it.

"Hm, a virtual reality corporation that wishes for beta testers how stupid for a game company to advertise in an email such outdated way. Why not an advertisement? Is all game companies of this day just lazy developers with nothing but money to sustain their lives."

Almost he selected no but then he thought why not he was bored and tired of the MMORPG's he was currently playing selecting yes seeing nothing happened he just closed it and left to walk home.

On his way home he noticed movers in front of his house that is weird he lives alone why would they be there?

"Hey! What is happening!" The man runs to see what the commotion is and notices a bunch of strong guys in a moving company uniform with the simple black suit and white circle logo within the middle was written VRC. They were carrying out a giant futuristic looking box, carrying it inside his home he notices they won't respond to him.

One walks up to him with a black hat carrying a clipboard.

"You are the person who agreed to beta test for Another World correct?"

"... uh yes." Intimidated by the strangers he notices the big box going inside his room.

"Please sign here to write that you acknowledge that the package has arrived at your home." The man passes the clipboard to him.

Grabbing the clipboard he reads it there is a clean fine print saying in short to sign when you received the package.

After he signs the other people who brought the machine into his room leaves back onto the moving truck. "One last thing here is the manual to help you understand how to use the machine we have already moved it into your room please say now if you wish for it to be moved elsewhere."

"No it's fine." Looking into his room he finds a high tech pod sitting in the corner of his room which was previously empty.

"Then we will go now." Taking back the clipboard he boards onto the truck and drives off.

The dazed Korean guy closes the door and takes a closer look at the machine its the size of a bed in the shape of an oval wondering how to open the machine he goes to the manual reading it.

> To open the door you need to place your hand on the glass

> If you wish to play for extended period of time you must purchase our energy liquid to enter the compartment otherwise when your safety is at risk you will be forcefully ejected from the VR experience.

> To experience it better it is highly recommended that you enter with as little clothing as possible to get the most experience for all that means only underwear or to purchase our high tech bodysuit that fits perfectly leaving no creases.

> It's best to play this while asleep.

NOTICE THIS IS NOT A MEANS TO REPLACE SLEEP

MAX PLAYTIME IS 8 REAL LIFE HOURS PER DAY!

Placing his hand on the glass it opened sideways climbing inside he notices the coolness and soft material he was laying on. A robotic voice speaks to him.

"Welcome new user! As this is your first time I will be explaining the process to using this VR Gaming Pod. Before we start I will start the adjustments needed to suit your body. First please lay down lying on your back with your arms to your side in a relaxed and normal manner, your legs straight down and your head looking forward."

Following the steps he sees a light traveling down as if it was scanning his entire body.

"Scanning Complete..."

A complete replica of his body was shown on the machine from front and back.

"Now please adjust your virtual appearance to your liking you may only change up to 5%."

Playing around with the sliders he finds after messing around and making his face a little more prettier he confirms the changes.

"Please enter your real life credentials, Name, Date of Birth, Gender. Do not lie as you will then be forever banned from any of our products."

Entering in his correct details he moves onto the next steps.

"Please wait as we confirm your honesty... you are good to go. Now please enjoy our product."

WELCOME TO THE HUB OF VIRTUAL REALITY HOME INTERNET SETTINGS ANOTHER WORLD

A few square images popped up {HOME} {INTERNET} {SETTINGS}

But one stood out from the rest as those all had simplistic designs this one had an animated image of moving grass on a wide field. Looking at it you could smell the fresh air of the grass somehow.

Entranced he selects the image it expands taking up most of the screen with a prompt.

Launch ANOTHER WORLD?

[Yes] / [No]

Selecting yes his eyes feel heavy naturally closing it he feels weightless before the dark dim light soon brightens up as if he is travelling through a warp gate from science fiction.

"A floating white orb?" Wow this is all awesome how could they have such black technology. This is incredibly advanced in this white room there is only that white orb.
