The world was ablaze. The first top ten trending topics were one way or the other related to the game called infinity. The first ever of its kind. Those who were hesitating to buy a VR capsule became dismayed. A thousand dollars! It was a thousand dollars to buy it from the game store. But looking at high the popularity was, it was trending. Investors began waving bills saying they wanted to invest in FFI, Futuristic Fantasy Inc. FFI's forum was flooded.
Fortunately, an Infinity forum was created and gamers began to post. Hidden things began to come to light!
"The answer was Player. The world of black and white is obviously chess. How could people be so dumb?"
"Bullshit. You just had an inspiration. Who knows if you are even a player?"
"Exactly. I heard from my second uncle who heard from his military friend who heard from his lover who heard from her husband who heard from his side chick that the Wise Sage's son who's known as his successor is a king."
"Really? Is the side chick girl certain?"
"Probably. The side chick girl is the Wise Sage's son sugar mummy."
"Shocked jpg"
"I am the Wise Sage's son and I hereby testify it is valid."

People became wiser and chose to be players. It became even more chaotic when it was found that if you got healed or became stronger in the game, it would be reflected in reality." Those hesitating because of the thousand dollars price of the game, sold their houses, cars, fortunes and their…cough…daughters. Let's not talk of the shameful engagements and how many poor girls got married off. Though incredulous, it was true.
The government struggled to control this alarming technology but how? There would surely be a protest if they stopped VR capsules from being used. It might lead to bloodshed, an uprising or even a change in tyrants. The confederation went silent. The only thing they could do was to try to get stronger. Everyone fell into a crazy grinding. As for the poor kings? There were about two billion of them and they had to wait for a month to change their status.
The only thing the confederation could do was to ban players from being killed in Infinity. This was equivalent to cutting off their path to evolution. The confederation received a lot of praise.

Four days after Infinity was launched.
A boy slept on a bed hugging a pillow. He had hair as dark as night and an enchanting smile on his average face. He was immune to the chaos caused by Infinity because he was unconscious!
