The Gizmo- The Heroes Quest

Prologue

Year 2250

The story takes us to the year when the Virtual Reality (VR) project is in its final phase, the phase when its difficult to tell which world is the truth.

The VR platform has manipulated the reality that people have seen untill today. It's the final version of technology man has ever invented.

In the VR, gamers transfer their soul to a virtual dimension where there is no rules that restrict them like in the real world.

As technology advanced, the VR underwent a new phase, a network of dimensions built inside a thin screen covering your eyes. Close your eyes, relax and let the VR take control of your mind and on the other side you would see a dream that you wanted to see since you were a young child.

But its advancement hasn't stopped yet. Parallel to the VR, yet another world was created— the Augmented Reality, or AR. It completely changed the world forever.

The world remained as it was but with the AR, pixels can be converted into particulate matter and vice versa. You can get anything you want, anywhere and anytime as long as it is approved by the AR security department. The final phase of AR made it possible to teleport living matter to other places as long as it was within certain boundaries.

But soon, both the VR and AR projects hit a wall. The time came where people couldn't differentiate between the real world and VR and AR. As the confusion continued, the development of VR and AR took another step.

The united nations worked with all the countries in the world before deciding to change the format of VR and AR.

With the finance provided by all the countries, the humans entered a new era. The era in which the AR and VR was integrated into 1 piece— the Gizmo.

The Gizmo is a small earpod with one end attached to one ear and the glass connected to it passes in front of our eyes and ends freely on the other side. The glass can be converted into pixels and stored in the earpod and vice-versa.

The Gizmo was just like an advanced AR but with a few additional and more advanced features. In the gizmo, the person can transfer his body and soul into a VR game, which is like teleporting into another dimension and the center of the dimension web is the real world. A person can play any dimensional game they want but once the game is completed or when the Gizmo is out of battery or overheated, you are transported back to the real world. And after coming back, you would be in the same position that you started in when you teleported. Of course, you'd still need to purchase the game in order to play it.

The Gizmo also has a essential feature which allows you to know a person's username and all public data the user allows to be displayed, both in the real dimension worlds.

Furthermore, the Gizmo has also enabled an inter-dimensional security system so that the game systems aren't hacked. The creation of the Gizmo had finally united the whole world, but what they didn't realise was that the war had just begun. The war involving every single being in a new era. An era that can even send us back to the stone age if failed to be stopped.
