THE NOVUS SYSTEM
--
An MMORPG Virtual Reality game.
To access it, you have to enter cryo-sleep through a pod inside the cryo-chambers.
People from the outside cannot interact with it. Once inside, people cannot send messages to the outside world.
Although it has a Fantasy-Medieval setting, it has modern commodities, like Videochat, Instant-messages apps. Video Feed. Music. Modern restrooms and restaurants.
The design of the armors and combat outfits are not completely medieval and may have some kind of futuristic vibe to them. (Have you seen the game Honkai Impact 3?)
There is no such thing as teleportation unless you have died and respawned in a previously saved checkpoint. Checkpoints can be any town, city, an owned house or guild headquarters.
You are immortal inside the Novus, but half of your gold will be subtracted from your account if you're killed.
The size of The Novus world may be comparable to that of the real Earth.

Earth is no longer habitable.
You cannot have children unless the World Government permits it. This only happens once every 20 years.
Once the government allows it, there is a four-year period to have a legal child. Only two babies maximum per family.
The Tandem was this last generation of babies. They are now between 16 and 19 years old.
90% of The Santa María's population are Tandem teens.
