When the first rays of sunlight pass-through space, time, the Earth, and its atmosphere, through concrete and steel, and gently reflect off a sleeping man with a satisfied smile. Only to be cursed.
"F*ck!...I hate the sun. Just as I was getting to the good part. "The young man cursed.
Slade woke up staring hatefully at the windows without any curtains allowing the sun to invade his safe haven. As the young man stood up you can see he was about 6 feet tall, above-average looks medium-long brown, bed hair and dark brown eyes. Skin as pale as you can get from avoiding direct sunlight like the plaque. It was not the light that was the main problem for Slade it was the heat. 'The damn heat where you can actually feel the radioactive rays' Slade cursed eternally again.
'I hope this game works out 'Slade thought as he looked around his empty apartment. The room was just as empty as when his ex left him, he thought with a slight smile.
All this happened because of the worldwide announcement of the first fully immersive VRMMRPG "limits".It showcased grand fantasies you partake in with the standard RPG structure with swords, loot, and castles. Just exponentially refined to make it feel and look alive. Slade recently dropped out of university as he felt that it was not for him. After a long time of just playing games, watching streamers, reading power fantasy novels, he was getting bored. He immediately took an interest in this hype, but almost had a heart attack as he checked the prices. He had to sell all his assets and a few misc. items to preorder the gold pod version that boasted about increased immersion. It took about two weeks for them to replace the position where his bed was with the pod. All for the promise of adventure and riches both in and out of the game.
After bathing, doing his morning exercising, watching a few videos, the server was about to start. Nervously entering the single bed size pod with the comfortable interior he pressed start and lost consciousness.
"Hi host, I'm the pod's AI that's responsible for your virtual needs, please help fill out your personal details to access the hub. Note that we will, by under no circumstance share or expose this information."A sweet feminine voice sounded in my ears.
"Go ahead," answered Slade.
"What is your full name?" asked the AI
"Slade Conner," said Slade.
"age and occupation?"
"22 and professional procrastinator," said Slade proudly.
"...Thank you for your patience , please note before you begin your body will be checked for any abnormalities and you may feel slightly uncomfortable."
After what felt like an uncomfortable long time I arrived at the so-called hub where I can mentally select several options like body condition, time, an internet browser, Friends, and what he actually came for ...
LIMITS.
