On a remote island in the Pacific ocean, off the coast of Japan, a breakthrough technology has been developed. Virtual reality, unlike anything ever seen by the public, is in it's final stages of development. Six young graduate students, the brightest minds in their respective fields of computer programming, graphic design, psychology, artificial intelligence, neuroscience, and media studies have been selected for an internship at this remote facility for a substantial salary, and a strict contract of complete discretion. What they discover is beyond their comprehension, and boggles their attempts at rationalization. This so called "virtual reality" is created by a super advanced quantum AI with capabilities beyond anything ever thought possible. It can create worlds and universes beyond our wildest dreams. But is it safe? And just how powerful is this computer that for all intents and purposes, is essentially a living, thinking entity of supreme intelligence?

"In the not-so-distant future, where the boundaries between the real world and the virtual one blur into obscurity, a group of audacious teenagers dares to defy the status quo. Welcome to a world where pixels are the new reality, and the metaverse is king. Meet Alex, a tech-savvy misfit with a rebellious spirit, who stumbles upon a hidden secret that could shatter the digital illusion. It all starts innocently enough with a glitch in the code, a whisper of something amiss in the flawless façade of their virtual existence. But as the anomaly beckons, curiosity turns to obsession, and Alex can't resist the urge to unravel the truth. Joined by a diverse crew of fellow hackers, gamers, and digital outlaws, they embark on an electrifying quest to pierce the veil of the virtual world. Along the way, they'll encounter enigmatic AIs, navigate treacherous dungeons, and unearth cryptic messages left by a shadowy figure known only as "The Architect." As the lines between their augmented reality and the tangible one blur, they must confront a stark reality: some secrets are better left buried in the code. The future of humanity hangs in the balance, and the clock is ticking. But in a world where the digital and physical collide, where virtual friends become real allies, Alex and their companions are about to discover that their rebellion against the virtual regime has far-reaching consequences they could never have imagined. Will they unveil the ultimate truth, or will the digital realm consume them before they can break free? One thing's for sure: The revolution begins here."

SOUL SEARCH: Dualities

9 parts Ongoing

Eighteen year old gamer Mato Takahara is put in a dangerous position after taking part in a failed BETA test for the world's first virtual reality MMO game(Blades in Paradise) which resulted in him gaining dual personalities due to the AI that established his connection with the game world. The AI which has now gained sentience begins to struggle against Mato for dominance over his soul. Because of this, Mato finds himself embarking on a perilous path in-game in order to master his soul and as thus, restore the thin line which lies between the game world and reality. He in turn; encounters several friends along the way as well as several foes which he must overcome to reach his goal. Yet, the overall question remains... Can Mato gain mastery of his soul in time or will he sink into the abyss as his AI counterpart takes over his soul? To accomplish this task he enlists the help of Kayu, a seemingly carefree dark elf(a third personality in form of his in game avatar) to go ahead and exploit the limits of the human soul. "Jeez! Don't go dumping all your expectations on me damnit!" Sigh.... "Fine, I'll play along with this game of yours but mind you, I'm also gonna have some fun while I'm at it; so grab your popcorn, cuz it's gonna be a bumpy ride!"~Kayu.
