Frederick Dare awoke to the sound of drilling. To some, the urbanized sounds were disturbing. But for Frederick, this was the start of a new life.
Frederick was a 21 year old, with wide green eyes and slick black hair. He recently got hired as a bartender in a nightclub. The pay wasn't high, but it's plentiful for his new life. Not so long ago, he used his mother’s funds to buy himself a small, but functional apartment.
Frederick left his parents, no matter how much he hated doing so. It was much needed because he had to earn money, in order to free his mother from his drunk and abusive father. Having been helped by his mother once, he vowed to make enough money to help pay for a divorce for his mother. Perhaps it was a twist of fate, or pure destiny, but his life just turned sharply for the better.
Over the next couple of months he started forming a routine of his own. By day he would go to the local dojo and learn some Wing Chun style martial arts (so he can keep his father under control when he visits home). By night he would be bartending at the bar called The Eagle. Even though he doesn't get much sleep, he works persistently to help his mother.

“Hey buddy, have you heard? Rumors are spreading about a new product called Delusional, it's said that once you try it you can't stop wanting it.” overheard Frederick.

I can’t believe one of the regulars that tip me so well actually does drugs - thought Frederick.
As Frederick whipped out a pina colada, he couldn’t help but keep listening in to the conversation.
“Dude, it’s real. The new company, Magic Mirror created Delusional. They said they would be releasing something extremely special... If you know what I mean,” the man smirked.
Oh man, it seems like I am right, they are doing drugs. What should I do about this information? Eh, they're probably drunk when they heard about this and are talking about something they think they’ve heard. I refuse to believe that the nice people that give me good tips are actually druggies.
On the very next day, Frederick was listening to the radio, and it turns out the company Magic Mirror is going to release a completely new and revolutionary Virtual Reality equipment called Delusional. The CEO of the company really wanted the rumors to make people sound like drug addicts just for fun. It is said that they will be releasing a game along with the equipment the very same day, called Ignition.
