Before I could say another word, the room disappeared, leaving just the fading sounds of my aunt''s gushing squeals in my ear. Suddenly, I felt as if I was being dragged through a vortex. When my head stopped spinning, I found myself in a beautiful central square, next to a fountain. The square was in Illian, the capital city of Hellenia. Hellenia was one of the three countries that spread out over the continent called Central. The other two countries in Central were Amazon in the West and Nordvin in the north.


    Looking around I found a little glowing ball of light with wings right next to me. It looked suspiciously like a character from an old console game, but legal rights were probably waived as this game was put together by a few of the largest video game companies in the world.


    In2 LegendZ was a virtual reality massive multiplayer online role playing game(VRMMORPG) created by the largest American and Asian game companies in the world. It was the first full immersion virtual reality game. Being the first of its kind meant it was a really huge undertaking. Everyone thought it would be an impossibility for the next twenty years. It seemed that money had the power to change minds, and in this case, the power to advance technology at an unbelievable pace.


    I had gotten the game for free from my Aunt Sarah because she worked for the game company. She was apparently very high up in the company. Higher than I thought after considering that she was in control of my character design process. Playing In2 LegendZ was how I was going to spend my summer vacation before my senior year of high school. It was the hottest game in the world. You could also make money by trading in-game currency for real world cash. It was the perfect summer job!

    A gruff scary voice behind me shouted interrupting my thoughts, "A-TEN-SHUN!"


    Suddenly the sky and earth spun and the back of my head started to ache. What the hell was that? Looking up, I saw the answer to my question towering over me: a grisly old man in shining Spartan armor standing over me bursting with an apocalyptic rage.


    "Push-ups you low life piece of scum! And if I need to repeat myself I''ll beat your ass to hell and back!" roared the Sergeant, the fires of hell could be seen dancing in his eyes.
