《Encounters Out There》To Seek More Questions
Advertisement
A team of One Earth First Contact Emergency Representatives interviewed an alien emissary per a pre-defined policy to answer the question, "What if an extraterrestrial contacted us?"
The emissary seemed blissful, smiling with contentment.
"How did you become so happy?" asked a psychologist.
"It's simple. We experience a virtual oasis in a childlike state of mind."
"Go on …"
"We've come to understand there exists a universal affliction for all intelligent lifeforms: the greater one's sentience, the greater the desire for spiritual transcendence while facing the juxtaposition of cold reality."

"So, is it a natural state and unavoidable?" asked the psychologist.
"Yes, we aimed to disassociate ourselves from that primal existential survivalist instinct, an intellectual self-preservation which causes that sense of dread."
"How did you manage that?" asked a sociologist.
"We're cyborgs," the alien pointed toward two antennae attached to its head, "these implants communicate with a central AI, driving us toward the logical and yet giving us direction or purpose."
"And what purpose is that?" asked a philosophical scholar.
"To gather as much knowledge as possible and to seek more questions than we have answers."
"A sort of 'material absurdism,'" interjected the scholar.
"I suppose ..." the alien smiled and shrugged.

200X300
Welcome to the world of Fantasiaia, a world full of magic, epic monsters, heroic battles and more! It's the new, cutting edge VRMMORPG world what everyone has dreamed about! And now welcome Markus Fickus, your average young man in our average and boring world! He was just an ordinary man, until one day, something changed his whole life. As he ate his breakfast on that fateful morning, little did he know that he would choke on his coffee and die—just to be reincarnated in the world of Fantasiaia! "Wait, what?" Mark said, looking up from his bowl of cereal. He didn't follow the script properly, and forgot to prepare his coffee. "I thought Fantasiaia was a VRMMO," Mark muttered as he made his way to his coffee machine. "How can someone reincarnate into a game?" Of course, what Mark didn't know was that logic and reason didn't matter. It was magic! Besides, everyone loves virtual reality stories and reincarnation novels. So why not have both? Mark shook his head sadly, but prepared his coffee in silence. When he finished, he looked up at the sky—and saw only the dull white ceiling of his apartment. He felt utterly cheated that the last thing he would see in this world was the peeling paint on the wall. "They are not paying me enough for this," Mark grumbled, then drank up his coffee. And then he died. PS: I found the cover picture on THE INTERNET. By no means will I tell you the artist's name or give any credit to them, but I let you know that the image is not mine.
