Introduction
In a dark chamber thousands of miles below ground, a group of scientist were in a circle around a tube of blue mist with the figure of a person inside of the tube. Above the tube was a monitor, the main source of light in the chamber, it was reading the diagnosis of a few things at once.

The scientist were all confused at this time. They had long been working here but none of them knew exactly who their employer was or even who was frozen in the tube in front of them. They were currently speaking amongst themselves.
"I guess all our questions will finally be answered."
"Maybe. What if the person in there doesn't even know the answers tho?"
"Can't really complain much since we've already been promised to have all our needs taken care of for us."
The monitor above the tube slowly but gradually increased in numbers. It's reminding time slowly decreasing.
The current setting of our story takes place in the year of 2345. The scientist were currently located in America in a highly secret government location that only these few scientist knew about. Not even the current President of the USA knew of this location or of what was going on here.
In this time the average person was physically strong. Able to lift ten times that of what an average person 3 hundred years ago could've lifted. This age was far more developed within the technical grounds. The main thing to be noted of this age: Full Dive Virtual Reality. With this development having begun over 50 years ago it became the hottest decision of kids and adults alike. There were many games out there within the Virtual World that could be played ranging from basic games to major MMORPG. The newest topics however was about the lastest game coming out: Guardian Spirits Online.
Guardian Spirits Online according to the posts online was supposed to be the first of its kind. A major MMORPG. That was self developing and self-aware. It could change as the players meet certain conditions and even completely change the way it was played based on data that it collected on its own. The world within the game was already supposed to be enormous.
However none of this was the biggest part of this new MMORPG. It was the first of its kind in many regards but the biggest one: It was the first professional game that made it to where everything you earned in game, currency wise, could then be converted into cash.
It should also be mentioned that as of 30 years prior. All of the Earth's nation's have converted their currencies to the same currency. This was a purely digital currency called Points. These Points did everything that the old cash did. If you had currency of the old age you could go to the bank and convert it into the now used Points. But I think we're going a little off topic here.
Guardian Spirits Online was actually a complete mystery to the entirety of the Earth's population. It was going to be completely released for free to the entire world in 24 short hours. But what was weird was nothing at all except for the information listed on the post was given. Not even the company that created this game was given. Not a single interview or whisper of the company or what was in store for the players in the game was given. No one knew anything!
Unsurprisingly this only added fuel to the fire. Thousands of people wanted to find out exactly what this game was all about. Several rich and powerful people had sent out thousands of people to find out everything behind this game, but every one of them came back empty handed. Even more people however wanted nothing more then to play this long anticipated game. The post on the internet had been up for 6 months now. Displaying its released and the basic information of the game. The post even had a timer counting down to when the game would be released to all Virtual Reality gaming consoles.
Returning to that dark chamber the monitor finally blinked a few times then read in caps.

AWAKENING COMPLETE
-
The tube unlocked and opened the blue mist slowly traveling across the ground before vanishing into the air. A hand reached out the tube and a few scientist around gasped having not entirely expected that the person inside had actually managed to live.
When the person finally stepped out. Everyone around gasped and shuttered visibly as it was a man who stepped out. He was barely at the physical age of 21 yet they could all tell by his looks and demeanor that he had been sealed inside for at least a hundred years or so.
