Some say that death is the end, others say it isn't. The afterlife is an old concept dating back thousands of years, but in all that time nobody has proven it to be real. That is until 2076, when the Virtually Extended Reality or VERse is introduced to the world.

What happens when all you need to be immortal is a $10 subscription until the day you die, when you are permanently transported into a virtual world where you continue your old life with more freedom than ever before, or start something completely new in one of the infinitely expanding areas in the VERse.

Hector Nirmala was the first of many to become immortal in the VERse for one simple reason. After dying in a car accident in 2030, his father, Cliff Nirmala founded The Braintech Corp, and made it his life goal to bring his son back to life. Five decades later he succeeded. Now in the infinite VERse, Hector has the opportunity to explore an ever expanding fantasy reality specifically made for him.

It didn't take a genius to know that it was already too late for the kid. The heart not beating, not breathing and having a 2cm thick metal rod passing through the left eye to the top of the head made it pretty clear.


"Sir, you're traumatized, and you have every right to be angry, but that is no reason for assaulting anyone"


It had already been ten minutes since the father came in, and it had been non-stop arguing that evolved into violence. He would have already been thrown out a while ago, if he hadn't been the person who funded most of the hospital.


"I don't care what you say, but bring him back"


The father had been shouting the same thing over and over, refusing to believe that it was already way too late. Even if his son didn't have the rod stuck through the brain, he'd broken quite a few bones, and shattered a few to dust, punctured both of his lungs, probably paralyzed from the neck down, and hit his head hard enough to leave him a vegetable no matter what was done. Driving on the wrong lane at extreme speeds, and shutting down the cars AI can have that effect. There was nothing against it, he was dead.


"Sir, it is a physical impossibility, at best he'd be missing half his brain, and be fully braindead because it hasn't had any oxygen for the past 1 hour. Even if that wasn't a major problem, and we somehow with some miracle managed to bring him back, he wouldn't be able to do anything without the help of others, and that's if he wouldn't be a complete vegetable and we found out some way to communicate with him"


The nurse was shouting at the end. It was 4am, everyone was tired and slowly but surely getting angrier.


"I don't care how, what I'll have to do, or what it'll cost, but if you can't bring him back today, then freeze him, take DNA samples, MRI scans or whatever. But if you can't bring him back today, make sure you have what you need to bring him back tomorrow, if not that, then within the year or maybe even the decade. And if you can't do that, then I'll do it myself"


The nurse let out a long sigh, and went to get the doctor. It would be a long shift.


Needed at least one review here, so why not. And besides, for my first book and compared to many books here with a 4.7+ rating, I'd say that this has been decent so far.

reasons (note, at the moment I have only written the first 3 chapters. this is a review of what I'm planning to add):

The character won't start off op, but instead will have an interesting journey finding out how magic works, and what he can do with it.
He won't be defined by a system, but instead he truly has to carve his way forward to become what he wants to be.
He'll make choices, some good and others bad, and he'll have to learn and face his consequences in his new reality, instead of thinking of everything as a game.

In this story, the main character will explore the lands of the VERse, staying at some places for months or even years at a time, while studying the world around him and becoming the person he wants to be. 

All this while dealing with problems between the so called real world, and the new reality he slowly learns to accept as a place just as real as any other.
