Virtual Reality is Out of Control...'Let me remember the dream again for a moment. Let me hold it in my mind. For with everything it has become - a shadowy reflection, a hollow advertisement - it is getting easier and easier to forget. And lately, many of its shadows have been haunting me. The shadows of paths never taken in the woods. I do not know the precise point that the dream of the Spiral began to diverge from what it once was...'

...Welcome to a free, short Virtual Web sci-fi story that explores ideas about a futuristic, immersive Gameworld influencing all levels of society...with emergent defects...

NOTE: This is a fairly challenging, 'background' story with an emphasis on ideas. It will relate to some more accessible stories to follow... including, hopefully, a novel. If you're interested in writing about 'The Spiral' then search 'Fountellion' for the Medium publication.

Fans of TRON, 'Nineteen Eighty-Four' by George Orwell, and 'Brave New World' by Aldous Huxley, may appreciate similar themes.

Please comment with your impressions or feedback on the themes and content of the story...

Best wishes, and 'Progression'!

Fountellion in THE SPIRAL: Greenwise & the Nature of the Game by Ademc77
45 parts Complete
A gateway to a long-awaited, always-online virtual island (an 'Autonomous World' or 'Permaworld') has opened for those who've found a key. This includes Dan Harvester, a guy who lives in a run-down apartment with his cat and runs a gaming channel. He's almost done playing and testing VR games, but this one could be his final chance to - truly - level up. What can it promise to him, and all its very first 'pioneers'? 'Fountellion'...is said to be 'natural' game-world, a N.E.P. world (Naturally-Evolving PermaWorld) full of artificial life that mimics the laws of our own natural world, with its shaping force of evolution. The game promises to be more than an open-world survival experience, for there are seven 'Insights' scattered and every player can find their own path to them. How much will Dan be changed, by his own search? A game-within-a-game or a simulated homage to the natural world? A complete vision of a 'metaverse' design which overgrows or salvages addicted players? There is only one way to find out: Tune in and experience Dan's 'avalogs'. For only by completing them and the fragments from the development, may you too discover the vision and legacy of 'Fountellion'... Notes: Please be aware this is speculative sci-fi, and includes outlines for an actual game-world within the story. The project is also decentralised and open source.

To Quinn, When you read this I'll be over at Zen's place for a couple days. Just letting you know that I have shared a part of my journal publicly. I mean in the online world. Be aware that I've only used your first name, but others have been named. Some of our actual conversations were recorded in this journal. I guess sort of like a book even though writing isn't one of my better strengths. Buddy, that keychain you gave me changed many things. I began sharing this in July and I made my last post early on New Year's Day. You'll be happy to know that the plans for the new center are locked in the safe. I look forward to working with you in this new year we find ourselves in, and please forgive me for telling tales out of school. Your friend, Ash So now that the description is out of the way I can break that fourth wall. The idea for the description was recommended to me by a very good friend since I didn't know how to describe this journal which took place in real time. Dark Matter is a chapter of a much larger work titled "Chronicle of Rouge hill' which I've been writing since I was a teenager. I had started in early 2009 and quickly shelved it in 2010 after I saw "Inception", realizing the ideas were too close. It was picked up again in October of 2012 when I realized what it had to be: less focus on the technical aspects and jargon, and the addition of a love interest. Also, the mission of the "Order of ravens" was changed simply to collecting dream tech. All ten parts were written during the period of October 2012 to March 2013. The idea was to begin posting it on blogger.com in July and it would end in real time, on new year's eve. The events of my real life have indeed influenced the writing. It should be noted that errors in sentence structure are deliberate. A.P.L ©2013 Andre Lalonde. All rights reserved. Painting by Tom Park. Used by permission "Chronicle of Rouge hill"

Fountellion: Echoes of Bleakmuse by Ademc77
10 parts Complete
In a cyberpunk future where the Earth is on the brink of collapse, the virtual world of 'Fountellion' offers humanity a final chance to confront a rogue AI and reshuffle its own imbalanced priorities. Can a game really achieve this? But this is no ordinary game. Fountellion is artificially alive, its ecosystem evolving, its seasons shifting, and its balance hanging by a thread. Raze, a disaffected player from the neon-drenched streets of London, stumbles upon a mysterious key that grants them access to this strange, untamed realm. Guided by the enigmatic Greenwise, Raze must re-navigate the island's regions, each tied to a forgotten aspect of the human spirit. Along the way, he will unlock Insights - powerful truths about nature, survival, and his own soul. But Fountellion is not without its dangers. The Bleak Lord Muse, a shadowy NPC figure born from humanity's ambition for control and power, seeks to corrupt the island and bend it to its will, which extends beyond the game itself. His Stokers - twisted, stolen avatars - hunt those who stray too far from the path, draining their Energy and turning them into soulless servants of Bleakmuse's unknown designs. As Raze progresses, he must choose: Will he succumb to the lure of control, or will he embrace the wisdom of the Insights and restore balance to Fountellion? The journey will test his survival skills, his connection to the land, and his very humanity. In this immersive, postmodern world where nature and technology collide, 'Fountellion: Echoes of Bleakmuse' is a gripping tale of discovery, danger, and the search for meaning in a world on the edge of destruction.' ----- Fans of cyberpunk, virtual reality, and environmental storytelling will be drawn into Fountellion, and beyond...
