Prologue
Don’t you think that life in this world is a little bit boring? People talk to others that they know every day, pretending that they’re friends. In reality they are doing such things just for their own convenience. Telling each other that they are friends. Just for one sole reason, so they can take advantage of the other party.
I realized these things when I entered high school. Its true that I was an introvert. I was not an outgoing person, but I can survive in the community. I prefer reading books and playing games, rather than exercising or doing outdoor sports. I didn’t talk much, only when I needed to. But then again maybe that’s why they decided to pick on me.
One day I was bullied by my upperclassmen. My best friend was at the scene. I called out to him, asking for help. But he just passed by like I was some stranger that he met on the side of road. The next day at school he said that he was sorry, because there was nothing that he could have done.
We have been spending times together ever since middle school. Hanging out together, doing homework, cheating our way out through exams, and playing games together. We were close. Or so I thought. So this is how the community works.
People in this world, they reek of evil. They only care about theirselves. Money and power is what they seek. They are a hypocrite if they say they’re giving away to charity because of love. They are doing it so people will have better opinion about them. This world has become too rotten. I don’t have the power to change this world. I can never even dream about changing this world.
So what should I do? I didn’t have any other place to go. I wander around aimlessly until I stop by a large screen TV in front of a shopping mall.
“Behold the new era of gaming. With Syder (synapse reader) implemented on the system, Rebirth Online will be the first VRMMORPG (Virtual Reality Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game) in the world. The pre-order sales have gone through 500,000 units and will be shipped all around the world tomorrow, along with the first launch of the server. People who don’t apply for the pre-order can buy them tomorrow at FFAID Corporation building in Akihabara at 7:00am. Luckily, we have Dr. Hans Schneider here with us; please let us welcome the person that invented the Syder, as our guest for the interview tonight.” The beautiful news woman said it enthusiastically on the TV.
“Dr. Hans, tell me about the Syder. Isn’t it true that its just recently invented and that it hasn’t been properly accepted by various medical organization around the world? Theres even a rumor saying that it poses a threat to the brain.” the newswoman asking with full of curiosity.
“The WHO (World Health Organization) already acknowledges it as a safe and usable product. Otherwise we may not have been able to sell it. The Syder itself doesn’t do anything to the brain so it couldn’t damage it. As the name implies, Syder is a synapse reader. Our five senses, touch, sight, hearing, taste, smell even our senses of temperature, pain, balance, time, and kinesthetic is controlled by the brain. This starts when a neuron receives an impulse and they transmit it to the brain. They transmit it in a form of electricity through a connective tissue called the Synapse which connects one neuron to another neuron. When this electricity is processed in the brain, we often read it as a brain wave. So Syder makes it possible for us to read and send images to the brain of the virtual world. ” explains Dr. Hans who seemed like he can’t stop talking.
This is it. This is the answer to my entire question. I just have to run away to another world. I just have to run away to that world
