Meta Runner: Demo

Chapter 1 - Wrong Warp.

Previously...

—

Days have passed since the disappearance of Lucinia Porter, and James Sheridan. TAS Corp has been successfully received the attention it caused for the suddenly missing Meta Runner for several nights, announcing their efforts to search for an concrete answer as to what have happened, and be informed of the well-being of both vanished TAS Corp. workers.

However, as several other days have spent without any clear information given to the rest of the E-Sports team, Masa started to build a suspect for Derek Lucks. Telling Belle about his theory, both have argued harshly at each other, as their friendship started to tear bit by bit, and the lad decided to risk himself alone.

Having failed in finding answers from invading Lucks' computer, after his disbelief for the death of Lucinia (said by the blond to him), Masa was decommissioned from the company, fired, and blacklisted, for an indefinite amount of time, as a sentence for attempting to invade confidential files from TAS Corp.

Although, something is wrong. Why would Lucks be so extreme by giving such sentence to his best runner, over an invasion with the intent to look for an untold response?

What is he hiding? Only time will tell.

As for Belle and Masa's friendship, their status is unknown.
And for Lucinia, no hint for the moment of her current state.

Sheridan was barely mentioned.
What if...?

'' Video games are everything! Jobs, entertainment, lifestyle, it's the engine that powers society itself, and to make it in this society, you need to win...a lot. '' — It was told that in this world, the games meant everything. The heart of the population, and winning meant everything as the second important note. People have... strange things to fight for.
'' Be it in FPS games, platformers, battle royales, you name it. There are gamers who train every waking moment of their life in hopes of becoming the best. '' — Memories of people, having fun playing video-games, interacting with the characters shown on-screen, shooting at other players, or looting magic items in open fields. And they were all spending thousands of drops of their sweat to become the greatest.

'' And at the top of the food chain, you have Meta Runners. People who are willing to replace their limbs just for a boost in accuracy, dexterity, and performance. With legions of fans who adore them, Meta Runners are the best of the best. '' — A Meta Runner... people who have limbs replaced to boost in their stats. They like to become better, as the years pass. People love them all, and they are the top of everything.

''That is, until the world sees what I have planned. '' — Commented an unknown, yet, a bit familiar voice, with a notable hair style, and wielding white, formally-stylized clothes. Pausing the... screen, they seemed to turn their back, and face someone, about to finish his sentence in the meanwhile.
