Have any of you ever wonder, does the RRL website have a true purpose?
Sure it does to be a platform for anyone who wants to write their own fictions or is an up and coming author.
Behind the scenes? no one knows until "it" appear. Now let us begin the story...
-------------
Prologue
-------------
----------------------------------------
Aswad was just like an other average man... with a knowledge in trading. With a few thousand dollars cash in his hand, he used it in trading. Sometimes it fails but only lose by a small margin. Because when he succeeded in his trading, he earned a few million dollars in a matter of seconds. Seeing the cash flooding into his account, He used all his times to fully-concentrate on trading.
One day, out of nowhere appear in Trading Site a new stock with a name [RR Company]. How suspicious this name seemed to Aswad began pondering in his head whether to buy it or not. After a few conflict in his head, he decide to do some investment in this new stock. Then he buy million dollars of the stock.
Just an investment, not that it would make me bankrupt because I've already earned a few billion for myself, enough to live with luxury.' Aswad thought a million dollars was just like spending "$100" in a restaurant or in some shop. Aswad did not know that, that this was the beginning of the birth of a new technology.
*****
Meanwhile in someplace unknown, in the [“Secret” Research Faculty] room.
"Wing, there is someone who just brought a million dollars in our stock." One of the researcher whom in charge of monitoring the stock was surprise with a sudden buyer after a few days he put the stock.
One of the men, who was in charge of supervising this research has always been called as [Wing]. In this research faculty, only [Wing] knows the real Identity of each the researcher. Also in this Faculty, staff people that work within it all call each other by a nickname that they set for themselves.
Until their 'Research' of the new technology called Dive is complete, no one will introduce their names no matter what the occasion while inside the Faculty. The figure that was called [Wing] approached [Anmesicat], the one who is in charge with monitoring the Stockholm price while helping out here and there in some other research needs.
"Are you sure, [Cat]?" asked [Wing].
"I'm sure [Wing]. Look our company account has a million dollar in fact. With the millions from our sponsor, I think this will be enough for us to continue our research on the "Dive System"." Said [Cat] with confidence along with her radiant smile, enough for any man's heart to melt away.
[Wing] nodded at her, and made an announcement.
"To all staff, we will continue our research on the dive system. before we pause because we don't have enough resources to continue. But know we got enough to last for awhile. Let us begin, prepare your equipment, your files, your data. we will begin in a 3 hours" [Wing] voice rang out from the speakers, and his voice could be heard by all staff within the [“Secret” Research Faculty].
The staff that consisted of two hundred researchers with an expert from their own expertise departments. Like developing, programming, coding, script writing, health, etc. Mostly Developers and Programmers participants are from a company that is well known worldwide like Sony, X-Box, and few others that popular in the world populace.
Each participant was invited by [Wing] through letters and secrecy. Because the thing they are researching is something other thought impossible. Some participants are Geniuses or Geniuses among Geniuses. Either way, the most shocking within this participant is a young-looking girl... or maybe lady? because of her enormous boobs for a child her age? maybe. But no one knows her real age, except [Wing]. This young girl used the nickname [Reshi]. From then on, fellow participants would call her, [Reshi the Loli]. Continuing their research....
Finally......
After 10 years of researching on dive systems, they succeeded in every aspect of the related system. But they had yet to test it on a human. Hiring some homeless people that had been offered to be their *guinea pig*. most people accept the offer to be their guinea pig of their own will. Because they have nothing, no work, no home, no money, they agreed to since they've been provide with proper living settlement inside the faculty along with their daily meals.
----------------------------------------
Back to Aswad....
A few months after buying stocks [RR Stock], the price was rise. Aswad felt surprised with this sudden increase in the stock price, and then he checked the buying log to see who is buying the stock. After a few clicks Aswad see that the money came from a Gaming Company and few technology developer like Sony, Samsung. Aswad felt something fishy with this... 'Why did this company buy this stock?'
Wondering why this happened, but still Aswad can feel there will be major event going-on so he decide to invest another 20 million more into this company.
'There must be a catch with this company... let's wait and see. Continuing his usual activity by playing through the stock market, and again he earned that 20 million back in a few hour. Deciding to go outside, it's been a while for him to go outside from the house because he felt he no longer needed to since he can buy all the things he needs to be delivered. Though he eats luxury food, he is also doing some exercise like running (Using a treadmill Lol) and some weight lifting around 20kg (Each side 10/10). Not that he wanted to become a muscle-builder. He is just doing that for exercise and to stay healthy.

Back to Faculty.....
After 5 years of researching on dive systems with 'volunteer' humans as the lab-rats. Finally they succeeding on completing the dive system for humans. Though said lab-rat... Its only used for monitoring human brain system when they're 'Diving'. Not like a mad-scientist. No, this research is undergoing with safety as the priority. So there is no harm to the Volunteers... No drugs were involved in this test... with that... the machine for Dive was created. For the world inside the Dive it took another 15 years for them to create a fantasy-like world. Where you can see monsters, swords, and even magic, in addition each participant will receive their own machine..
When the machine and the game was completed... There was an announcement made on the Game News. A news station where the company name [Royal Road] released info on their games and new technology invented by a human with countless trial and error. Introducing the world Dive System known as Virtual Reality.
The one and only company that managed to create them... The one who is getting interviewed by the media is a man not giving his real name and just asked them to call him Spiriter. The reporters from various station started calling him as Mr. Spiriter because he didn't gave them his real name. As the [Wing] stand-in in the media face. He is explaining and answering all questions from media.
After the announcement, the uproar within society was.... massive? Not sure what word was enough to explain it. Mostly in Gaming community, the news of succeeding creating a VR system was made all of the community members were filled with joy.
As for the staff member within the participants... they no longer needed to work themselves over . Because their have created an AI that can maintaining LO 24/7 with a few command. Of course the AI can make decisions by itself, but it cannot disobey Administrator commands or Orders. Everything is fine.... All staff either can monitor the game or play the game themselves. Mostly, their choose to play of course. Their own invention, of course they themselves want to try to log in with a few hundred lucky people that got chosen as the beta testers.
Among them... Aswad was also included.. but not as a Beta Tester... but as an Administrator... But Aswad himself does not know about the "Admin" part. He just knew that he can play the game.
----------------------------------------
When the game was announced, Aswad quickly take a look on the [RR stock] and he was surprise with the current amount. How is that possible? he himself already forgetting about the stock he himself brought but still holding them. When he decided to buy at the respecting company... he was greeted by a figure introducing her/himself as [Wing].A figure wearing a mask like the kind you can see in masquerade parties in some movie. He asked Aswad is his name was truly Aswad and asked if he have brought RR stock. Aswad simply answered, “Yes and he told the person that he has earned his own with Trading stocks.”
The figure nodded and then ask Aswad to gave him his house address. He gave the address because Aswad already told them about buying the machine, well Capsule. He tried to pay but the person that went by [Wing] just rejected the payment instead explaining the reason why... Finally Aswad knew the reason why... the stock he holds as a shareholder of the company with it's current amount exploded into a few billion dollar.
And now... When he returned home with a crew that in-charge of installing the capsule, they're immediately working on to installing the machine. When they’re done, Aswad gave the crew a few hundreds dollar each of them as the tips. Well rich person, don't ask. (LOL)
When Aswad was done reading the manual, he decided to take a quick bath, clean himself and eat his meal before he entered the capsule.
----------------------------------------
[Welcome to your world, Master]
Aswad was greeted by a beautiful voice and "Master?", not that Aswad cared, maybe all machines will call their owner like that? Aswad assumed that not knowing the reason that the AI called him master was because he is the one who owns 50% of the RR company share.
[Do you wish to start the diving system?]
"Yes"
[Starting.......]
[Initializing.....]
[Admin Protocol Initializing....]
[Complete, we can begin you diving.]
"Diving has begun"
