Niagara Falls and The Rulers

Emir understood the significance and beauty of the slow journey, but he was a stubborn person - his heart said 'I love it!' and his mind would try to say 'No don't fall for this you're just excited to have lunch with a beautiful girl.'

After their lunch, both thought of enjoying the scenic beauty for a while slowly Emir started having flashbacks of his life, how DSNW (Defense and Security of New World) took away his grandparents, claiming that all the old people are spreading rumors, the world was never beautiful it was more pathetic. The new generation was completely isolated from their grandparent's generation because a different set of principles create a lot of conflicts and DSNW wants the new generation to accept that a beautiful reality never existed.

For the longest time, Emir used to believe in that reality until both his grandparents while protesting against DSNW were killed. Soon, his father too left the world because of the side effects of stepping outside, now his mother is also severely sick. After facing so much brutal fate he stopped believing in the 'Beautiful Reality', and here he is traveling with a beautiful girl on a train in a virtual reality portraying the beautiful reality.

"We will be reaching the station within 15 minutes" Axoa interrupted his thought with her sudden comment.

Fifteen minutes passed quite easily for Emir, looking outside the window. Both of them got down on the station, there was no one there, after all, it's just a virtual world. Axoa took his hand as if he might go missing somewhere if she loses him. They both came outside the station and there was a rental car waiting for them.

"Get on the car, it's a short ride"!

Both of them hopped into the car, within a few minutes Emir could see the dangerous beauty it looked magnificent, it almost gave him goosebumps in the real world.

The Car stopped in front of a step road and the driver said from here you either walk or take the cable car. Emir was astounded by the world Axoa created, it seemed so perfect especially with her in it.

"Let's take the cable car" Axoa stated.

"Wait... I want to stand here for a while"

They both stood there, looking at the Great Niagara Falls, admiring its alluring beauty...

Emir asked, "Is the real one as beautiful as this one?"

"No of course not... it's far more beautiful than anything you can imagine!... You can call this the first draft of a newbie writer and the real one is the masterpiece created by the greatest author to exist... that's how significant and big the difference is"

They did a lot of activities after that from jet boat tours to zipline rides, all made some deep impressions on Emir's mind and soul.

"So how was it?"

"Ummm... I think this place is beautiful but I can't believe such a place which is even more beautiful than this exists in reality... this too can only be created virtually"

"You're some arrogant kid aren't you?"

"I am just a skeptical person"

"I will make you believe in reality trust me, but first you have to accept yourself so the next day don't use your avatar but come in person"

They both went back to real-world after their tour, Emir started to question the world he has been living in... 'How much of that was true?", 'Does that place exist in reality?',' Then why are we not trying to make things better?"

The DSNW have made virtual reality a basic necessity for human survival, people were at the brink of insanity when all they had were four walls. There was a war raging between DSNW and RWP(Real World Protectors) but soon the RWP started to decrease with each passing generation, the RWP had the idea of saving the world instead of running away from it, while DSNW believed in the New World Order where people will escape to Virtual Reality until a suitable planet is found.

War raged for years but after the millennials and the Gen Z generation, none came forward to save Earth, that's when DSNW took over the planet, and any surviving people from that generation were taken, hostages.

When Axoa reached home, she started to worry if she can't even change a simple 16-year-old boy's mind how will she save the Earth.

Emir meanwhile was quite worried about Axoa's safety because if by chance any member of DSNW comes across the waterfall Axoa made it might lead to her banishment for spreading rumors.

So he quickly contacted Axoa through their friendship connect id.

EmirCode: Hi Axoa!

Axoa123: Oh you are missing me already...

EmirCode: It's important Axoa please listen and delete that world you created... DSNW have their eyes on everything.

Axoa123: DSNW?

EmirCode: Yes, DSNW they are at the head of both the worlds.

Axoa123: Okay Okay I am deleting it, thank you for informing me...I need more information about them tomorrow.

Emir deleted the conversation almost instantly, Axoa has been living on Earth now for two months but never really paid heed to the people ruling it, as rulers keep on changing from age to age... but the ones who can make a change always are the common people so she was more concerned about the mass.

The history and formation of DSNW are quite mysterious, the top members are also not revealed to the mass. Many people say they are a group of aliens trying to enslave humankind some others say they are God trying to save humankind from insanity but the real answer no one knows about it.

Meanwhile, Emir decided to put a little effort into his looks, so that the next day he can show his true self to Axoa. That was the beginning of our hero's journey of starting to accept his reality and improving it rather than escaping.
