Few days later, finally it is the time for the launch of our game, Nexus Online. My company had used every way to promote this game. I even used my identity as a Carson for this. We would launch the game this evening. I invited about a thousand guests to attend the banquet, where we would announce our game. Many people have some idea that my company, the Genesis Corporation, is working on Virtual Reality, that can change the world. What they didn’t know was, Genesis Corporation would launch a Virtual Reality game. Everything is possible in this game. It’s possible to live your second life here. You can be anyone you want, a burglar, pirate, king, magician.. Whatever is your fantasy, it would become your reality here. By the way, this is also the motto of our company. Make your fantasies into reality.

For the banquet, we have booked out a museum. Yeah, we could buy everything. If you can’t, just increase the price. After that, I went to the museum. Unlike the museum, you might think, where antiques and all are placed. This museum is empty, no antiques or anything related to history. They decorated the entire museum just for the banquet. Because the guests for this banquet would influence personalities. Including the families that rule the United States. Obviously, it is a secret not well known to the public. But being a person who belongs to one such family, it is impossible for me to not know about it.

A woman, probably thirty-five or something, was the event decorator/event organiser. It is her job to organize the event and make sure that nothing goes wrong with this event. Because if something goes wrong, it would affect her professional life. She might find it difficult to find another event to organize. She ordered her people, and her people did the decoration as she ordered. Meanwhile, I looked at the decorations . The event organiser saw me and quickly came to me and asked, “Sir, how are the decorations? If you don’t like something, I would immediately change it as soon as possible. “ I shook my head and said, “It is good. But remember, I don’t want any mistakes at the banquet. How is the food? “ She nodded and replied, “ Sir, we have hired one of the best chefs to make the food for the banquet. The guests would love the banquet very much. “ I nodded and with that she returned to her work. And I returned home to change my clothes.

Soon, the time for the banquet came. I put on my favorite blue tuxedo and got in the car. Alice entered, wearing a red dress. I don’t know the name, but it looked good and was most suitable for banquets. Sarah had already left for the museum an hour ago. So she wasn’t with us now. As soon as Alice entered, I smiled at her and winked. She smiled and punched my shoulder playfully. I started the engine and went straight to the museum. Outside the museum, the parking lot was full of many expensive cars, like Pagani, Buggati, Ferrari, and Veneno, my favorite. But let’s just say the cost of maintaining a veneno, or as it is known popularly, Venom is too high. I parked my car between a Bentley and Rolls Royce. I obviously recognised the Bentley. It ain’t possible for anyone to not recognise this Bentley. This is a Four and a half litre supercharged single seater Bentley. This was sold a few months ago at an auction. It is one of the rarest cars, since it is from the nineteenth century. The coolest Bentley ever. Well, Bentley has other cool models too, but this is the best amongst them.

Anyway, I opened the door of my car. My car is Aston Martin Volante. It ain’t much, just less than a million dollars. I quickly opened the passenger seat door. Alice smiled and stepped out of the car. She looked quite the stunner. She grabbed my arms with a smile and walked with me inside the museum. I smiled and walked inside. My smile became domineering inside the museum, because well you have to.. How else did you think the other businessmen would respect you?

You have to be domineering when needed. Everyone raised their glasses(champagne) in their hands, as a sign of respect, and cheered. I stepped over the stage like thing before the crowd. I looked at the crowd and said, “You all might know me. Let me introduce myself to you. My name is Mike Carson. I am a Carson. Yeah, the heir of the Carson Enterprises. But that isn’t the focus today. Today’s main event is Virtual Reality. What is Virtual Reality? Just something for games? No.. This is the future of technology. You can research more accurately and quickly using Virtual Reality. But my VR technology isn’t only about games. You can lead your second life here. “ This led to some doubts among the crowd. I smiled. Raising my hand, I said, “I know what you all are thinking. But don’t worry. We connect this game to the real world. You can also work here. No one would become addicted, since it has anti-addiction system too. So in this way, this is a world changing game. You can even earn money here. Just like the real world. There would be multiple worlds. You can live wherever you want for the first time. Then it would cost you money. “

This created a tremendous uproar in the museum. Even there were journalists invited to attend the banquet. And this news made them crazy. If this news was to get out, people would do everything to buy this game and play, since it won’t affect their life financially. But would help them live peacefully.

With that, the banquet ended. There was also food. After eating, everyone slowly left the museum. The entire world would become shocked, because of this action of Genesis Corporation that can change the world.

It turned out that she wasn’t in the house. Sighing, I opened the door. And saw a familiar back outside. The person outside had just turned her back to the door, probably confused. Why hasn’t someone opened the door?That person was none other than Alice. I immediately hugged her figure from behind. Alice stiffened at first, but when she smelled a familiar smile, she smiled softly and touched my hands. I loosened my hold on her. She turned around and hugged me tightly, nestling her head in my chest. I smiled and said, “I missed you, Al. “ She rubbe

Although she had seen Mike and Alice kissing many times, the thing she saw today was too much for her. She couldn’t even hold her emotions for Mike. She loved him since the first time they talked. Sarah still remembered how a small girl who had lost her parents in an accident got cast out in the streets. Luckily, a kind woman took her to the orphanage, from where she was taken by Mike’s father. Although she hated everyone in Mike’s family, because they saw her as a commodity.

    The text was enough to clear my worries. I walked out of the room. Her text reminded me of the trip I had planned. Since it was getting dark, I returned to the kitchen, where I and Alice had our dinner. For dinner, we had rice and fish. Alice had made the dinner , so I said nothing about how sticky the rice was, nor how raw the fish was. So when she asked me, “Is the food good? “ I stuffed my mouth with rice and fish, and nodded my head furiously. I couldn’t say that the food she made was sticky and not well cooked.Seeing my nod, Alice looked at me suspiciously and took a bite of the food on her plate. She looked at me and directly spat the food on her plate. She hurriedly drank the water. Frowning at me, she said, “How come you are still eating this sh*t? “I ate another spoonful of rice and said, “This ain’t that bad.. I have eaten worse food, and yours isn’t anywhere near that leve

    She tried opening the door of my car. But unfortunately for her, she did not know, that only I can open that car, unless I have given the permission to use it to others. I had only given that permission to the girls, and the car was directly under the control of A1. So, there was no chance that Sam could open that door and sit inside. And now seeing her trying to open the door and then finally looking at me with a stupid look, made me almost laugh out loud. But I didn’t, because she had noticed that my expression was changing. So I instead looked down and ran towards the car. Then I opened the door after the finger print recognition.Sam was silent and sat down in the car without speaking. But when she sat inside the car, she gasped in surprise. She was surprised when she looked at the features inside the car. She looked at me with excitement in her eyes and asked, “This model..

    T1 helped with successfully implanting the Bio-chip on the back of my neck. I could just sit down and grit my teeth, as I felt a jarring pain at the back of my head. It was as if every cell of my brain was being destroyed and made again. But all of it was just my imagination, since I saw the status of my brain on the screen, from the corner of my eyes. And according to the data’s being displayed, everything was okay with my brain, except because my brain was in a state of virtual activity. Being in virtual activity simply means that because of some external factors, the brain is forced into a situation which is just a made up factor made by the brain, because of that external force. And the external force for me was the Bio-chip placed on my neck.A1’s holographic figure looked at me with a worried look. Obviously only her face was visible, as she had just show her head, instead of her entire body, as she usually did. I smiled as I gave her a r

    After the dinner, I signed the contract with Elena and Daisy. Then the girls and I shared the bed and had a sleepless night. Many days passed like this. I had been doing the same thing these days. Studying nanotechnology, designing the training room, upgrading the already made products. I even designed the upgraded version of smart prosthesis. The new version of smart prosthesis was actually for those, who were paralysed. It took me a lot of time to read many books about neurology, including the anatomy and physiology of brain. I had to study several books on bio-chips. Those were some of the top secret files of several countries, which I got access to, thanks to A1.After several thesis made by top biotech scientists of this world, I could learn a thing or two about the bio-chips. Bio-chips can control anything with our brain. Obviously those things should be someway attached to the circuit of the bio-chip. Only when you form a closed circuit with the bio

    I immediately tried my best to calm him down, but all of it was in vain. That’s when, A1 thought of something. She said in my ears, “Leave it to me, Mike. “ I had been listening to music, while I was reading those books on nanotechnology. It just made me relax, because reading such books for a long time was anything but entertaining. If not for the music that I was hearing, I might have been bored a long time ago. I hummed in response, which was ignored by the lawyer Uncle. A1 suddenly projected herself out of my smart watch, as a holographic loli figure.I was amazed. Not a loli-con myself, but I understand a beauty just with a glance. Similarly, I can understand if a person would look beautiful from looking at her younger version. That’s my talent, ahem.

    I don’t know who it was, but when we got out of the airport, I found a familiar black car. It was obviously Hexon, that I had made. To be more specific, this was the car, I had given to the girls, and mom, to travel. Seeing these two cars out, I narrowed my eyes, thinking how these cars were here. Soon, I found out the reason. It was Mr and Mrs Jones. Seeing her father and mother, Mia immediately rushed towards them with a smile, and hugged them. Her parents smiled as they hugged her back. Even the girls, mom and I couldn’t hold back our smile, when we saw this scene.When she noticed the awkward silence around her, Mia poked her tongue out and then loosened her parents from her hug. It was a minute change, but I saw the expression of relief on the face of Mr Jones. Feeling someone’s gaze upon him, Mr Jones looked at me awkwardly, talking to me with his eyes.

    While I walked, I saw a face, which I had seen a long time ago. It was the assistant of Mr. Arnab Singh.

And truth be told, she was still beautiful like how she was three years ago.But I did not know if she still remembered me. I mean, who would remember a person, whom they have met three years ago? That’s not possible, unless the person has a sharp memory. So I walked away, saying nothing. If I asked her, and she still doesn’t remember me, that would be very awkward. So yeah, better prevent that situation from happening. So I just did that. I walked past her. But to my surprise, when I looked at he

    But imagine my surprise when Celia finally said, “One day. “ So I asked her again, “One day?” To which she nodded. I sighed in relief. It was good that only a day had passed since the tsunami. That’s when I remembered about the tsunami and asked her, “What about the tsunami and those people?” Celia smiled and replied, “They are all fine. You could stop the tsunami, but by the end, you had fallen unconscious.

    So that’s what I did. I rushed towards the sea. Unknown to me, a small boy pointed towards the direction where he saw a man in a black metal suit disappear. He pointed as he pulled his mother to tell her. The mother was pale in fright because of the nearing tsunami waves, which would soon hit the coast and would destroy everything. It would swallow people, including both the son and mother duo. She was a single mother, who took care of our son. And since it was the vacation of her son, she had taken him to Mumbai, the coastal metropolitan city. If not for bringing him here, both of them might have been safe.

She heard his words, amongst the cries of others who were rushing to find cover, since no rescue can be done anymore. And they could only wait to brace for the impact. If th
