We have arrived at the "Hub", of course the real name is something else, but with the name being classified, what else do we call it? "What do you think is going on, Emma?" I ask my sister. "I don't know but it doesn't seem good." she replies. Our family slips into the crowd, and after that, I hear a yell. "Everyone come on in! We are testing the ultimate virtual reality!". Of course all of us were confused, who wouldn't be, when the government invites us across the country, just to play games,we don't have vehicles anymore, so we had to ride immortal horses and other animals, or walk here. "Why are we here, to play GAMES!?" the most of us scream. The government official smirks and says something that causes them all to stampede in. "90% realism virtual reality, with nerves connected." When everyone starts running in, I am left in the dust, as I am a bit slow compared to everyone else. WAIT!WAIT! SHIT! MY FAMILY LEFT ME! So much for familial bonds... as I slink into the Hub depressed.
Inside, I see a bunch of doors, and a woman with black hair hands me a card. "Wait! Where is your family, young man?" I swiftly reply, "They left me in the dust." She seems to look aggravated, or sad. "Okay, what is your name, I'll refer you to our president to find your family." I was honestly shocked, our president is an enigma, so I wasn't expecting to be directly... referred to the president. "It's ... Alan, Last name is *INFO REDACTED* " She seems shocked for some reason, then she snatched my room card. "Sorry, you are a special case, our president will talk to you in-game about your family." She hands me a new room card, and I head to the room. Number 133769? I don't find anything strange at all about that number, yup, totally.

A light shines, and a woman with blue hair appears, "Welcome US citizens, to Dearest Online! A 90% realism game with nerves connected! In this game, it is like any other MMORPG. This game is called Dearest Online because like our previous world being our dearest world, this one will over take it, as our old world is now in shambles. You cannot logout, and if you die, you WILL respawn. Our Admins- government officials, will be the Gods in the sky. All right, time to make your path in this world! Good luck!!"
She doesn't disappear. I think it might be a glitch.. Suddenly she stares straight at me, "Especially you, 133769. My Dearest.".... Wha- DIVE BEGIN
