“It surprised the world… first came the rumors “They're saying that some people have made real VR stuff… it's so advanced and stuff, that you actually feel like you are in real life and stuff.” Then came snippets of evidence… “Did you see the video? It not possibly real… it's gotta be fake or at least exaggerated. I bet you, I could make a more realistic video with photoshop. We don't have the technology to make a real VR set yet.” Then things started to become more… tangible… “Did you hear? Some company named Animus Inc. recently patented some sort of VR machine and a bunch of other things. They say that it's coming out soon and that it will “change the world and more.”The whispers and rumors continued for a year… then all of the sudden… a reveal. Not just any type of reveal, a revealing that revolutionized the world. All of the sudden this new company, Animus Inc., brought out all the major electronic companies of the world, then they brought them under their “banner” and open them up to the world. That surprised and shocked the whole world. But what they did next was what turned the world on its head.

All of the sudden “Cheap Super Quantum Computers” were on the market, computers so advanced that “That you could hack into the Pentagon in a couple of minutes”. The governments of the world were blindsided and panicked. Over two billion were ordered in the first day of their reveal and release. But what really changed… was the VR machine they made. A.R.C. (Artificial Reality Capsule) was what they called it. A machine that could “take you to another world”. It was a capsule like pod machine that could allow you to experience virtual reality for over a “decade without pause”. The reveals happened around the world and not only did they reveal… they allowed testing. That day… some very dirty governmental secrets came out. While people were learning the dirty secrets of the various governments of the world, many more were trying out the A.R.C. . Hundreds of thousands tried these machines and most- if not all had one thing to say about them. “When is it being released, how much is it, how can I get one?” The company responded…”Three months from today, February, 19, 2020, $499.99 for a basic Capsule, you'll be able to pre-order from many retailers and on our company's website.” But it did not stop there… “But… a lucky Ten thousand around the world will be going home today with a bundle of the best grade of our reveals after this event. This bundle includes a Super Quantum Computer and a Arc. Not only will these lucky few be the first to receive the best and greatest of our products, personalized to their liking, they will also be the first to be able to Alpha & Beta test the world's first and true virtual reality game. “True Life”… live another life in a world filled with endless possibilities… your only true limitation is… yourself… ”
