Tales of Dreams, The most awaited game of the century. It has the same platform with almost all role-playing computer games released prior to its creation. It has Different classes, quests from NPCs’, Kingdoms, monsters and different species to choose for. Everything is perfect. Every people in the world were agitated upon its release. The time has come, and everyone was in their own rooms creating their accounts.
Albeit the perfection of visual presentation that is presented to all fanatics through various TV Commercials, one down-side of the game perceived by others is that you only have one life in playing the game. ‘Brain waves signature recognition’ – once you died in the game, all the money you’ve saved up, items, level, and even the items on your storage subscription, would be gone. Dying means the ending of your gaming career. The brain wave imaging storage saved on the game drive would be wiped out and you’ll need another game drive to play the game again. Unfortunately, none is currently available due to game balancing. Axion stated that it would take them long to produce another set of game drives for the gamers.
This feature was bashed by many. Some ranted on their social media account; some made an online petition to remove this feature. With all their efforts, however, the people never succeeded. Such a function of the game is very vital to sustain its economic value. Every economist knows that removing such a feature will force the game to bankruptcy.
Tales of Dreams has a 1 gold coin = 1 dollar exchange policy. This feature gives the players two positions in playing the game. Pay to win or win to live. Those with a high-end living reality are expected to enjoy the game by transferring their own money to the game through financing bodies that allow them to transfer currencies online. Socialized citizens, on the other hand, are expected to grind their way up in the game to provide for their living.
Those who planned to commit to the game full-time can enjoy the ‘Awake mode’ feature of their gears. It keeps the body active which changes the gaming platform from sleep mode to a normal VR model. Moving the body, however, won’t affect the movement made in the brain waves imaging. Some people are expected to move their bodies’ corresponding to the game movements so it is suggested to play in free space when playing in ‘Awake mode’.
The game has undergone many studies. Economic effects are sustained by the government bodies’ partnered with the Axiom and Suzumiya group. Every aspect of the game is prepared for launching.

“Brother! You told me you will help me studying before playing games.”
[Brain wave imaging error]
[Dream gear removed]
[Auto save…]
[Welcome to the continent of Vertice, you have chosen the Jasmine Kingdom, Bydell City as your hometown.]
Minori stumbled and woke up clueless in front of her sister. Rin, her sister, just removed that brain gear from his head. He composed himself and remembered that after installing the game drive, before sleeping he kept the brain gear ‘on’ so he will be notified once the game opened. It’s already 6:15 in the morning, 15 minutes after the game opening. He is currently facing his sister while sitting on his bed. Minori acknowledges that he promised the other day that he will help her sister studying for her college entrance exam. However, right now is not exactly the best time to do it.
“Can we do it later after I exceeded the 15-hour playing limit? You know how much I anticipated playing this game Rin, pleaaaase?”
Minori is very close to Rin, he protected her all his life and treated her as his favorite person. They are together all the time, missing their parents who are busy handling the operations of their family’s company. For Minori, his little sister is all he got. They only have two years' difference between their ages so they are very fond of talking to each other. Sometimes though, Rin seems like the older sibling.
“You are always occupied with your games.”
“Ehh-“
“Why don’t you just help me managing things at home?”
“Rin-“
“You barely help with the house chores. Given you are the one who suggested to not accept maids at home, you have to manage the house properly!”
“Hold on a sec-“
“I’m mad now! You deserve a boiled egg for breakfast! I’m going!”
After eating the hard-boiled egg serve by her precious sister, Minori helped Rin with her errands. He was itching the whole time to lay down create his account. Finally, things were finished. He wore the brain gear then pressed the awake button.

Minori was surprised. He doesn’t remember finishing his account creation. He found himself standing in the beginners’ area. The place was packed with people. There are NPCs with white names on their heads. It is a very nostalgic sight. The air is very fresh. His clothes, boots, and beginner armor, they all feel real.
The citizens around him, all the people, they are alive. The sun is very humid. Minori is very glad being able to experience these things. He then looked at the time flashed in front of him; he figured that it is already 11:00. He is five hours late in grinding. His plan is to take over this world.
He wants to be the hailed top ranker of the game. His goal is to be a brave and tough berserker that charges to every enemy without a second thought. Minori started to explore the game options. He was very amazed by how incredible the content of the game. Lastly, he checked his profile.
