DREAM, the game played by almost 75 percent population of the world who are aged 15 and more. This made the game reach the top place beating all other VR games in the market in just 2 years from the release date.

People started playing this game because of 3 reasons first, this game allows the players to access the game while they are sleeping and with time ratio of 1:2 that is every 1 hour in real life is equal to 2 hours inside the game, the people started to enjoy the game as equal to real life.

The second reason is due to the advanced artificial intelligence of NPCs leading to unforeseen results that are completely decided by the supercomputer, the developers only feed the basic storyline of all the quest into supercomputer but all the quests so far have resulted in amazement even to the developers. Because the supercomputer read and analyzes the actions of the players and in return changes the actions of NPC's creating millions of possible outcomes.

The third reason, because of the game allowing the players to convert the gold coins inside the game to real currency. At the early stages of the game launch, people only started to make money as part-time jobs, but later the conversion rate kept raising leading to people considered the game as full-time jobs making income equal to any high-level executive in a company.
