Synopsis
The holographic game "Perfected Realm," a fusion of cyberpunk and Lovecraftian elements, is about to hit the market.
The fortunate Cyrus, has been handpicked to be a beta tester for this anticipated "Perfected Realm."
But as Cyrus delves deeper, the lines between play and reality blur—she's not just navigating a game, but has been thrust into a parallel universe that thrums with life. In this steel forest, survival is a daily struggle, and the neon glow beneath the elite's toasting glasses belies a world gripped by corporate behemoths controlling the lifeblood of the economy, with super AIs surveilling every twitch and sigh.
Amongst the skyscrapers, a new era's players step into the limelight: the supernaturals, the cybernetically enhanced, the clandestine cults, and the mutated.
To the players of "Perfected Realm," six pieces of advice are offered. Abide by them, or face the consequences on your own terms:
1. "Treat the game world as if it were your reality."
2. "Never reveal your player identity to anyone."
3. "Keep the game's content a secret."
4. "You have only one life; death here is final."
5. "Once you start, there are only two exits: game completion or character demise."
6. "Everything has its price."
