YEAR 2028
it is another beautiful day in the city of utopia but something is amiss. it feels rather restless, not an uneasy kind of restless but excited kind of restless ,that is because today is the release date of [Over-King]. A virtual reality breakthrough, it is one of the most realistic games mankind has ever created. in this world today where a normal humans lives till the age of 200 to 300 years, life gets a little too boring for people so many took an interest in virtual games where u can live an exciting life with many adventures. this was especially true for [Over-King] in which your five senses are fully utilized and u feel like u are transported to a completely different world or atleast it is stated in the official site of the game.
MIDDLE DISTRICT , UTOPIA CITY
''..hey rex..u heard about the new game that's coming out today ''
at this moment two young boys were walking under the bright sun along the walkway with magnificent buildings and malls on the sides. one who had a cheerful smile on his handsome face with a fit body and wore a light gold coloured hoodie, and the other one who had a depressed smile with a good looking body and wore a light red coloured shirt.
''..yeah I heard of it.. I wish I could buy it, but its atleast 30,000 credits meanwhile I barely have enough to eat'' said the one wearing red shirt called rex with a stern face
''uhh..man don't get depressed'' said the one with gold hoodie called Abe with his soothing voice. Abe is the childhood friend of rex, he is the only son of the CEO of the game company named [imp.co] one of the investors of [Over-king].

''yeah..its not like it is a problem for you upper echelons of society who live in the upper district of this city to worry about '' said Rex with a mocking voice. city of utopia is distributed in three tiers upper, middle and lower. Rex also used to live in the upper district but since the death of his parents two years ago in a tragic accident his fathers company was taken over by his uncle and he was kicked out, so he moved to the middle district with a part time job and although his fathers friend and abe's father supports him and gives him a monthly allowance it is not enough for him to live a luxuries life especially with his university fees.
''hey..you know that I don't like to be associated with that stupid old man, he dotes on me too much and you know I want to make a name for myself and not live under his shadow for ever..!'' said Abe with a furious face
"okay..okay chill" said Rex
'' and yeah.. I also heard from the old man that you can make alot of money in that game called [Over-King] because of the money exchange in the game'' hearing this Rex's eyes brightened but they returned back to being depressed when he thought of his empty pockets
at this moment abe's smart watch rang. ''who is it..'' Rex asked . ''my old fool'' replied Abe. he picked up the call and said ''what do you want''. ''uhh.., nothing much just wanted to say hi and tell you that I received two elite ranked helmets for [Over-king] and was wondering you wanted one.'' hearing this abe's eyes shone brightly and he said '' I will but on one condition you must give one to rex.''( after slight pause) ''hahah...of course ..of course rex is like my own son .. why not, come pick the helmets up right now'' hearing this rex felt a warm feeling inside his heart and he made sure to pay this dept in the future. ''yeah, I am coming right now, ok bye. '' Abe looked at rex and said '' so what do you say'' and after rex came out of his shock he said ''thank you'' because he knew even if he tried he could not persuade abe to take back his words.
after a few hours, rex is sitting on his bed with the box in his hand on which it is written [Over-King] and there are only 10 minutes left before the launch of [Over-King].
