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

Ceph's eyes narrowed as he focused. Attempting to grasp at the wind as he always would. But he had nothing to hold on to. There was no mana for him to manipulate. How was he supposed to grasp the wind if he had no mana to hold it with?

"This isn't the physical world. That, " she paused, pointing towards the raging storm just a few meters away, "isn't actual wind. And there's no mana here. But everything here is a part of you. Focus on yourself. Calm your mind, and imagine a world at peace. Imagine the glade of Avgi. Conjure the spring into your mind. Remember what it felt like bathing in it the sun one a warm summer day..."

She continued, guiding Ceph into a meditative state. Soon enough, the raging winds surrounding them died down.

Or Vitoria's Folly?
