The Year of 2045.
Scientists and game programmers have successfully manifested and created a wireless device that would take all gaming experiences to a new higher level of enjoyment. The [Oracle]. It's a sole device that opens a door towards advanced technology that would change all human experiences.
It fundamentally and drastically changed how society imagined the digital world. Information, data exchange, internet radically changed and evolved into another kind of mind-blowing experience.
[Oracle] can make anyone physically feel virtual objects, connecting their minds and information network through the neuropathic system. A device that has the capability to connect each neuron together then relay the information gathered into the information highway delivering it into the pain. Feeling the senses altogether.
The man who created the new device that's only applicable to one game [New World Online] was Ryuuki Harukawa, a programmer, and researcher who changed the world's view on devices like the [Oracle]. He left Japan when he was a young man and conducted his research in this particular subject that mankind will experience, something as phenomenal as this.
He set up his own company at a young age, being the CEO. He convinced others about his research and ended up getting a 30 million donation for it and after years of research, the project was finally deemed successful. The [Oracle] will be having its debut soon for millions of people to play it soon.
Beta Testers also have been surveyed and interviewed in a talk show about their experience with the device. ''Please let us welcome the three people who have tested the device and are willing to give us hindsight of their experience in NWO. Please! Let's give them a round of applause.''
The show was broadcasted live. It consisted of having a black-haired boy, a raven-haired girl whose hair has a couple of purple stripes and eyes with purple colored contact lenses making her stand out. A platinum blond boy is also present, he seemed rather the youngest of the three.
''So please tell us, how was the experience of the first-ever device that could make our mind feel some things physically in the virtual world?'' (Talk Show Host) asked the three people seated on a sofa. The camera pointed at them and the three tried acting all normally as possible.
They were professional gamers who had their own gaming channels and thousands of followers on their own personal social media accounts, making them quite famous even before the talk show. They signed a contract upon inflicting only to answer what was their experience on the game and nothing about their personal life or any inappropriate question.
A tall handsome black-haired boy who is a teen smiled confidently and answered, ''My name is Lukas. Some people might know me from my channel called LukasGaming. From my experience, it felt realistic. It's like my body was actually in the game. I didn't feel dizzy, nauseous nor even have the urge to puke. Its completely lag free!'' (Lukas) said.
After the black-haired boy, the next beta tester who had purple striped hair with a cheerful chuckle she started to introduce herself with a childish tone in her voice.
"Hi hi! My name is Mirai and I'm the one and only Kittycat101. I play cute games and I wanna say hi to my fans!" (Mirai) exclaimed in front of the camera which zoomed in to her face. She waved ever so hastily, it made the audience think she's weird.
The Host sweat dropped a bit because of the cheerful girl ignoring the question. ''Ah... Yes now, Miss Mirai can you explain what did you find interesting in this new game?'' (Talk Show Host)
Her face suddenly lit up and her pupils almost started to shape like stars...
''Oh my gosh! The thing that captivated me the most is how you can customize your own avatar! Various colors and a lot of different options. You have no clothes at first which was kinda awkward, but you will be given some beginner clothes so don't worry! You can find other cute clothes in cities, shops, and maybe even having an NPC give you some good ones!'' (Mirai)
''That is quite interesting." (Talk Show Host) responded quite satisfied with the girl's answer.
''You can also make your avatar look so damn attractive! I love this game!'' (Mirai) exclaimed. Which made the talk show sweatdrop a little more from her energetic personality. He moved his gaze to the next beta tester.
''My name is Eric. And I run the Rinerixia channel.'' The blond boy introduced himself as he crossed his arms, trying to look professional.
''Do you think the new game New World Online will have a good effect on the community for gaming and entertainment purposes?'' (Talk Show Host)
He scoffed and looked serious. ''It honestly was a new experience. It will be a good adaptation for the future advanced tech. This is only a step to that path but... something felt off.'' (Eric) said looking at the other way somehow his voice sounded conflicted.
''Something felt off? Is the game not good?'' (Talk Show Host) asked in wonder. Eric tried to compose himself and tried coming up with an answer.
''N-No. It felt real... too real. I can't believe that it's a game it felt like I'm in another world with gaming systems. The feeling of the adrenaline rush running through my whole body, the maps, the quests, the NPCs and basically it felt more than a game. It felt real.'' (Eric) said which shocked some of the media and audience from the live show. The talk show host could only chuckle, ''It certainly is. The animation department and the programmers must've worked hard to achieve this level of effect and graphic. Since one device costs millions!''
Eric just shrugged and shook his head. He couldn't care less on what the media might've thought about him because of how crazy it sounds. He knew...
There was something more to that game.
