The currency has become one, known as "Coin". “Coin” was nothing but a name. In this era, everything one need to payment was a card and the value of one card indicated by numbers which calculate based on currency ratio of former nations before the “united day”, a Super-computer located in an influence neutral nation has given the task and distributed all the coins to people all over the world. The coins could be generated or erased from the system based on records of productions of each region in the World… Since currency ratio between countries no longer exist, Nations military power and influent only means for safeguard and no longer affects the economy of that region anymore. As a result, the number of large scale wars had decreased. The fierce competitions between companies from regions helped goods distributed equally to the world in a reasonable price, made the scarcity of goods over the world disappeared.

Chemical technology…

Metallurgy technology…

…

All of them were improving humanity’s living conditions in one way or another

There would be people out there saying how could government easy gave up their control over power like that but the truth was no matter how strong a nation is, they can’t start a war without money; they could not even armed themselves without money; they couldn’t live without food and obviously, food brought with money too… For some reason, people in this world realize by stopping the flow of money in military aspects, they could stop the war itself. By united the world’s currency they could unite the world itself. This world became a place where people don’t need to fight for a piece of land but to make the land exist themselves.

…

It must be a happy life, a perfect life without regrets.

However

Humankind always wants more!

Despite all of the things we had achieved, we always want more because we were all greedy

Because we would never have this modern world if we were not greedy, wasn’t it obvious?

Without the greed of the safety, we would never be united in the ancient era, fought against other species and become the specie that is dominating this planet. Without the greed of safety, our weapons would not advance and we would only be one of the lowest in the food chains. Without the greed of safety, we would not stand together; Society and Nations would not have formed in the first place. Without the greed of better living conditions, we would forever be like other animals, hunting or collecting for living. There would be no improvements. There would be no building, clothes, books or electricity. Food cultures and Art would have never existed. Without the greed to live on, to keep ourselves alive, medical technology would never be advanced and we could die with just a light fever…

If greed was a sin, then to live was also a sin

Greed and Ambitions was what forced humankind to created new values for this world.

The VR technology was one of those values made by human greed and ambition. Since people always want to have new experience but afraid of losing what we already have. Because we are all greedy! People want to satisfy their desire to destroy things, change the world or challenge the feeling of creating a new world without ruining their current peaceful life.

Let me tell you about the first “real VR system” made in this world.

Not the cheap and incomplete ones but a full-dive device

This system existed for only one reason.

Because no matter what we breed, we were all made of greed
