Breuno

A full dive VR game has been released, A New World. While it is not the only VR game in the world, this one has one advantage over others:
Being able to play it even while sleeping.

Like one would think, many people jumped to try and claim the first headsets. Mostly gamers, but some other types of people too. Our MC, Eldrian, is naturally a gamer who could not wait but to try it.

Quickly he and everyone else who bought the headsets found themselves in a world, not just a game. While realism is nice and all, the amount they were given was just too much...

Players started taking emotional tolls from playing the game, and when the company made a shocking announcement. This was amplified.

A New World, an immersive game experience

Moving past Vivian, who was struggling internally with what Eldrian had said, Eldrian indicated for Ceph to follow him. The once innocent childish Alicorn, now a mature almost distant teenager. Eldrian still did not understand how, though he could guess with ease the why.

"Sorry that I haven't had time to catch up."

"It's okay." Ceph replied, "Why did you want to talk in private, and why not just for a telepathic link?"

"Because I feel we're no longer as close. I did not want to force a link." Eldrian paused and looked at the scar across Ceph's collarbone, sticking out just slightly from under his clothes.

Eldrian nodded, there wasn't much else he could think of that would leave a scar on Cephaphyr, on an Alicorn- maybe a demon. "How bad was it?"

Ceph looked at him slightly confused.

"I've felt the torment it can put you under. Are you okay?"
