Tutorial «Allsium is a massive virtual social network whose learning can be assimilated by our brain in reality. By being able to incorporate this knowledge into the real world, the human being will reach a new level of evolution. Patrick Cork, scientist who created Allsium in the year of its creation. “What a pain in the ass with Allsium! Allsium here, Allsium there..." said my mother, "If you stay connected to that nonsense for so long, you will forget how to live.I didn't even look at the holographic screen that announced the virtual reality system as the greatest technological and social revolution in history. My mother was a bit old”fashioned, one of those who still liked to go shopping for bread instead of using the virtual bakery. Allsium not only made it possible to live in an alternative world, but it was also capable of instantly materializing anything purchased on its system with a simple blink of an eye. Gone were the two”day delivery online stores or virtual reality v

Two seconds later I was in Allsium.“I'm back, guys," I said excitedly, as if it was the first time I had ever logged on. Did you miss me?“No way, Gunner”san. Has Mom changed your diapers yet?Zen was kind of obnoxious, but I had to put up with him. He was one of the people I shared life with on Allsium since I logged on two years ago. You couldn't access the Allsium worlds freely until you were sixteen, but you could go to school on virtual Earth, something I had never done because my mother was old”fashioned, but which millions of people took advantage of because it was free.Zen, like me, was one of the many geeks who spent almost twenty”four hours a day hooked on Allsium. He told me that the good stuff started from virtual coming of age and claimed that soon the real world would be invaded by Allsium. That was similar to what the Allsionists were saying, a new social and virtual movement that was gaining many followers in both worlds.For the Allsionists the real world was a mere

Initium"In Initium, the first lawless planet, we will learn to fend for ourselves. We will be able to go through the available Guild Source and begin to live the true experience that is Allsium. But beware, there are many dangers waiting out there....".Manual of the good player. Allsium Systems: Initium.“I'm very nervous," said Dagon, "It's the first time we've left virtual Earth.“What a bunch of shits you are, ragazzi. “Greek was much more determined than the rest and liked to play the role of leader. We've been working hard, but we've finally got everything ready. Initium, here we come!The four of us were in virtual London, at one of the many control panels from where worldwide flights could be purchased to any part of the virtual Earth and also to the systems of illegality.There, in Piccadilly Circus, our great adventure would begin.“Zen Oda, Dagon Basel, Gunner Kid and Greek Marion," Zen read aloud, "do you wish to travel to Initium and are you aware and knowledgeable that

From now on they would be forced to live forever in reality.I had never seen two people shot to death before and it was hard to react, even though they were virtual lives. So much for their adventure; there would be no more virtual shopping for them, nor many of the huge facilities that Allsium provided.By now they would have been in their respective homes cursing the wretched Italian who had stitched them up with bullets and returned them to their dark existence. Although that didn't save the fact that both Zen and I were very surprised to see that Greek had kept an ace up his sleeve in the form of a Beretta.“What are you fools standing there like passive stares? “said Greek as he approached the leader to strip him of all his belongings. Search the other one before they come back with more people. Come on, dammit! “He let out a big laugh. This idiot had a hotel room of his own on him. We've won the lottery, ragazzi!I didn't even know how to respond to that. It was great news, of

It was a planet devoid of color, except for our novice clothes, something that announced us as easy prey and that we had to solve sooner rather than later. There was no green, no red, much less blue, but there was grayish green, grayish red and grayish blue.It seemed like London on any given day.Initium was the world of the beginning, a planet where freedom and illegality went hand in hand to steal and kill without anyone lifting a finger to protect you. It was the law of the strongest, so when Greek pulled out the Beretta, I knew that without him we would not have lasted more than ten minutes of adventure.Although that didn't mean forgiveness, as we still had a group conversation pending for having withheld such important information from us.Initium was similar to Earth, although without seas and instead lakes of great capacity. The best place to take shelter at that time was in the outskirts of the capital, since rushing to get to the hotel room after killing the leader of that

“We should think about how to get to the city without putting ourselves in danger," said Zen. The Guild Fountain comes next. The first step is to get to our hotel room, so we can return to virtual Earth whenever we want, in case we need to buy something or disconnect from this gray world.“The samurai is right," Greek agreed. It is a priority to get to the hotel and get into our room. Then we'll have time to prepare for the initiation of the path. By the way, have you decided what to do?“There are many paths to choose from," I said. Too many to be clear. I think one of us would have to choose the Path of Frost, to give us protection.“And why not the Path of the Flame? “asked Greek.“You should know, my dear spaghetti," Zen nodded, "that the Path of Frost is as offensive as it is defensive. Something the Path of Flame can also do, but with less defensive power. You can raise a wall of fire, but no one will be able to cross a wall of ice.“Unless he has a lot of extra strength and kno

“It's for the best. Gunner and I make a good team, remember the simulations. As long as Dagon doesn't have a path, he'll have to stay out of the way. As for you," he referred to Zen, "you can start thinking about a good strategy, Capito?“Well, I've already thought of it.“Had you already thought of sending the two of us? “I asked somewhat annoyed.“Erm... yes. “He nodded sheepishly, "If Greek has come to that conclusion, and he's not the smart one in the group, it would make me look bad if I hadn't thought of it first, wouldn't it?“That's also true," Greek said.The truth is that there was no one who could understand them.“We're all ears," I said, raising an eyebrow.“Well, knowing that Greek has a decent gun and that you could go with a pitiful bow..." He cleared his throat. Anyway, you don't have much of a chance in direct combat, even against the six that got away. Besides, I'm sure there won't be only six.“So much for saying we should be stealthy, sushi face? “added Greek.“I

“You're not going to run away, are you? “Greek was one of those who always went forward, I guessed that's why he had the whole Italian mafia chasing him in real life.“We have come to Allsium to be brave and transfer our powers to real life when the time is right," he explained. Whatever happens, I will not run away, not without first accomplishing my goals, but I will not hold it against you if you go back to Zen and Dagon to save your own skin, Vinci.“I won't run away either. “I wasn't sure, but after what Greek had said at that moment, I felt that running away would be postponing the inevitable. They were going to pursue us to the end, and if they did, we would get Dagon and Zen in trouble as well. We had to put an end to this matter as soon as possible. I'll see you later, Greek. Be careful, okay?We took a deep breath and Greek separated, walking in the direction of the stalls. I was alone and I had the Beretta in my personal inventory, so I moved forward determined, with one ey

“Are you ready? asked Patrick Cork, stroking his beard."Yes," I replied. I had been waiting for this day for a long time.I was nervous, it was the day of the worldwide launch of Allsium.Millions of people queued at AfroCrop headquarters to have the chip implanted that gave them access to the system.Allsium would go on the market with two game modes.The first was the one I had experienced five years before: stories lasting a maximum of ten days, that is, a year and a half in Allsium. They were adventures of an individual type, everything was created by the experience, fears and dreams of the participating subject.The second dealt with massive virtual reality. Worlds that AfroCorp had created so that all the players in the world could go on adventures and interact with each other. It was something like the evolution of massive online role”playing games, a game mode that would take entertainment to a new level never seen before. Players could experiment, as I had done in Allsium in

It was curious to see how the leaves of the few trees that were left standing in that immense garden were stopped in the sky. The wind wasn't blowing, Gina didn't move a hair, and the black dot that the Leproiners' helicopter had become was still on the horizon. I walked around the place trying to figure out what had happened, wondering if it was the power of a path.What I didn't know was why only I could move."You have pronounced the magic words," I heard a deep voice full of wisdom. I couldn't explain it, but it was like that.I looked around, but I couldn't find the owner of the voice. I drifted away for a bit, but it wasn't long before I was back with Gina.I was astonished to see that there were two people next to her.“Who are you?They were an old man and a young girl who looked very much like Gina. I was blank and not knowing what to say."Wow, we do look alike, yes. “His voice and hair were the same, but the way he gestured and his firmness were not so similar. She wasn't a

I woke up suddenly to the feeling that thousands of ants were crawling across my face. It was Choco with his beak, he drilled me gently to see if I would come to my senses at once.“Shock… what happened?As golden and legendary as it was, the chocobo did not speak.All he let out was a grunt of pain that felt like my own.He had been shot and was on the ground trying to get up without success. He was exhausted, his last strength had been invested in saving my skin.Before he suffered any more, I thanked him and made him disappear.He did not feel the rest of the summons; no sign of Kody, Harpy, Fuego, nor of course Rexie.Losing consciousness was reason enough for the summons to dematerialize. I didn't understand Choco, but I had seen before that the golden chocobo seemed not to be subject to conventional rules."Have you come to yourself yet?" said a voice he hadn't expected.I tried to get up, but I only managed to sit down and had to hold on with my hands to keep from tipping over.

We had been fighting for about ten minutes and neither of us could finish the fight. Punches and kicks collided, dispelling waves of ice, fire, air, and electricity emanating from our pathing abilities. No wonder he was the champion of the battle arena, but given more time I would have been able to reach him in the Novingrad Coliseum.He had never fought anyone so evenly before.My ethereal, fire, thunder, or ice abilities were of little or no use against the power of his blows, which were also elemental charge. We both managed to freeze areas of our rival's body, burn others and shake discharges that left us at the mercy of the other; that when we did not use the power of the wind and we crashed against the walls of that viewpoint that began to be a shadow of what it had been."Looks like martial arts won't end this fight," Jackie Leproiner announced, a few bruises and blood on her face. You were in a hurry, right?"I don't think they'd mind waiting a bit," I replied, wiping the bloo

Chocobo Stampede ability increased his physical strength, speed, and power, as well as making him able to go through anything in his path. Needless to say, the barriers were going to be formidable challenges to his skill.We were going to check it out right away."Kuee!" He yelled when he saw me.The golden aura of his armor and plumage blinded me. Choco had also changed; he was slimmer and even more golden, if that was possible. Its feathers had grown much longer, its crest looked modern, and its beak was fearsome.Riding on it I felt capable of anything."Choco, we're surrounded by invisible barriers, see if you can break them," I suggested.Two steps back and the chocobo stampede began. He didn't know how, but Choco detected the barriers and gave them a peck, not too hard but very dry. He went on from here to there, going around and doing the same thing over and over again; we seemed to be in an invisible maze. I was going to ask him what the hell he was doing, but just as I wanted

I woke up in a dark place of no more than three square meters. A conditioned cell, shackles on the hands and feet and unbearable heat.Five days had passed since we arrived at Gardiners Island in virtuality, more than enough time for our bodies to have traveled from the old continent to New York in reality.“Anyone there? I yelled.The voice was lost in the echo of some facilities that seemed enormous."I'm here Vinci!" Greek replied. It seemed to be in the next cell. Where the hell are we?“Dagon! Are you here? “I asked for.There was no answer."Shit, Vinci, we have to get out of here now!" Greek yelled. I have my hands and feet tied, I can't materialize anything.I discovered that virtuality could no longer be accessed, it was as if that part of my brain had been torn out. The automatism that allowed anyone to enter Allsium had been switched off.Virtuality had passed into history and the New World had arrived.But somehow, I felt powerful.I took a deep breath and thought.

Dagon took hours to recover and be able to walk. The fight against Ryan Leproiner had exhausted him and his healing abilities were slow to heal the severity of his injuries. Dark magic was like poison, eating away at everything in its path, especially wounds. Dagon might have lost his virtuality had he not been a holy paladin, as the damage from the dark was still taking its toll on him. Proof of this was that he could barely stand up.Gina's orders were very specific: we were to travel to New York to meet her at Gardiners Island, a private property that, apparently, was virtually Kurayami's base of operations for the American country. It was far from the big city, so it was perfect to wait for the arrival of the New World.We bought three tickets to New York. In a matter of blinks we reached New London, in the state of Connecticut. From there we had to travel by helicopter to Gardiners Island, where they were already waiting for us. I preferred to travel on Harpy's back, and since Da

London from Harpy's back looked dirtier and darker than ever. Its buildings were empty and any glimpse of art, which was not in short supply in the city, lay in ruins. An insult to history that the system could patch up over time if the New World didn't put an end to Allsium sooner. Security had fallen and, although I knew it was virtual, it hurt a lot to see how your hometown ended up demolished because of the same thing that had destroyed it in reality: human greed."There's something going on down there," Greek announced, looking up at Westminster Bridge.I took a look and ordered Harpy to come down. There was Ryan Leproiner, swelled with pride as he spoke to the masses and railed against the Kurayami rebels.However, as the Italian had pointed out, something seemed to be wrong.Dagon's limp body shimmered and broke into a shaft of light that shot up into the sky. The silence that had invaded us was broken by Harpy's high”pitched squawk.Instead of moving away from the bridge, the

"Any specific strategy?" He started asking someone who was next to me."Leave Ryan Leproiner to us," Greek replied. It's the only thing you should know, capito ?“That? He said strangely while looking at us from top to bottom, like most of those who marched next to us. And who are you?"The leader's shields," I answered with a smile on my face.There was a deathly silence, broken only by the screams of the Allsionista, who had about fifty meters to go to meet us."Are you the fucking shields?" But weren't there four? Where the hell is the leader? “were some of the questions that were heard from the different voices that were raised in the crowd, all of them with the same tone of disbelief.There was no time to answer them, but at least they had believed it. I supposed that no one in Kurayami would dare to proclaim themselves the leader's shield, especially in a situation as complicated as that one. It was funny that everyone still thought there were four, especially when that fourth s
