Artificialreality Stories

In a bleak, futuristic city where emotions are suppressed and free will is a myth, Elias Ward wakes up with no memory of who he is or why he is there. The only clue he has is a cryptic note in his pocket: "Find the Eldorado." With the city's towering, lifeless buildings closing in on him, he begins a solitary journey through empty streets and shadowy alleys, haunted by fragmented visions of a past he cannot recall. As Elias follows the clues hidden within the city, he encounters strange figures-each offering him a different answer to his burning question: What is my purpose? Some urge him to conform, while others whisper of a resistance fighting against the unseen forces controlling their reality. But the more he uncovers, the more dangerous his search becomes. Someone, or something, is watching him. And as he gets closer to the truth, the lines between reality and illusion begin to blur. What is the Eldorado? Why was his memory erased? And in a city that feels like a prison, does he really want to know the answer? Unravel the story's mystery and find out his missing memories.

Who is Joseph Elias? There wouldn't be much point asking Joseph. When he takes a trip down a glowing tunnel located behind a local department store he discovers not only that he is wrong about a great many things, but also that he has little idea about how to make things right. Dulcinea Fernandez thinks she's got Joseph's number, but how much can a Caretaker of Endoverse Inc's gigantic artificial reality theme park, AKA The Cluster, really be expected to know about anything? The answer, unsurprisingly, turns out to be 'not very much at all'. There are others who claim to know something about Joseph Elias, the Agent, and Simon Grace of the Department of Sub-Realities, for example. The problem there being their transparent motivations to fulfil darkly mysterious agendas, which essentially reduces their trustworthiness to zero. In the end it's up to Joseph and Dulcie to sort out the problems of Joseph's anomalous existence on a journey that will make you question the nature of reality and consciousness all the while not quite being able to get rainbows to render correctly.

a true event that happened to me on September 9th 2020.

In a world where reality is programmed and freedom is just a line of code, Nova Kade was never meant to exist. Branded with a serial number and confined to District 7, she begins to see things no one else can - flickers in the air, glitches in time, and a voice whispering that the world isn't real. When she unlocks a hidden file buried deep in the Dominion system, Nova becomes a target. Labeled an anomaly. Hunted by the same government that designed her world. But she's not alone. Jace Reign - an ex-Enforcer with a past full of shadows - has been watching her. Waiting. Protecting her from the inside. Together, they run. From the system. From their pasts. From a secret society that controls everything through a virtual illusion called V1SION. But rebellion isn't just survival. It's falling in love where love is forbidden. And it's choosing to fight when the whole world wants you erased.
