CHAPTER EIGHT

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.
