"All the we see or seems is but a dream within a dream"
-Edgar Allan Poe
Year 2050
Technological advancement has been rampant from these past years until reaching to the point that almost everything we do is now assisted or solely being done by technology. A.I's that can do chores, teach, do bank works, being a cashier? or the gadgets that help contribute in the daily lives.
Humanity's technology became so advanced that we gained so much Leisure, and where that these leisure go? Hobbies? Recreational activities? or sitting on in front of a monitor spending thousands of hours playing?
Admit it or not, Gaming is one that we also look forward to when we talk about technological advancements. Questions like, "Can we have a console that would actually put is inside the game?", or "What if we can actually feel what our characters are doing?"; but these questions were now finally answered.
But with all these great milestones humanity achieved, they still crave for more. The greed of knowledge and power won't just die that easily.
Where does this greed will lead to?

"Well, what do we have here? Problematic as always, I see." a man standing to a door that seems to be like an office. He is a well built man with a messy jet black hair, and with the eyes as if you are looking at the death's door. with a height of around 213 cm.
With a nefarious aura, he glance to the man behind the table. "this'll be the last chance to accept our offer. Take it, or leave it"
"It's our loss, the company is on a death spiral. This is the only chance to regain the glory we had. We have fulfill our promise, we will work under you. For the sake of the company." The man replied shivering. maybe from sadness. Or fear.
While playing with his ring ,with a logo that it seems to be a fox, replied "Music to my ears, now I have one task. One simple task. One that will change the meaning of reality forever. One that will question you what's real and what's not. One that will blur the lines of reality. I, or we, want you to create a world where dreams can come true, fantasies will turn into reality,also..." he paused for a moment, creating a mischievous grin in his lips. "where despair, grief, and death is inevitable. Are you up for the task? As if you have any other choice."
"Are you insulting us? We hold pride in our job. This is our mastery."
"I hope you can meet my expectations, we will promise to pay you a hefty amount once you completed it. This is the only saving grace left in your puny company. We have high expectations in you all, don't let us down. Quia gloria et avaritia."
"Quia gloria et avaritia!"
