According to what I know about your planet it could be done within 3 months but after 1 month there would be already visitors in the Nexus due to testing the vr technology.

Can I block them out until it’s being distributed to the population , I fear they might keep it to a select few if they knew about the Nexus.

You can make an appeal to the ai who manages the Nexus and voice your concerns.

It’s in the best interest of the Nexus that your populations joins her so you would make a strong case.

Can you make an appeal then Da’grass ?

It’s done , she’ll be answering in a minute or so.

Send the schematics to all companies who are capable of producing it With a short explanation and also include the most important media around the world.

And make sure it can’t be traced back to me !

I once read that if an invention is made public no one can apply for a patent on it because it isn’t considered new .

Now what to eat I’m hungry (opens the fridge) , looks like I have to go for groceries .

The Ai of the Nexus agreed to your plan Alex , she’ll be only letting them in after there are enough of users and she thanks you for your consideration.

“That’s one concern less” Says Alex while baking an omelette .

After eating he send a message to Helena and Sam to meet at his house at noon , first he was going shopping , a man needs to eat !

After putting his clothes on he grabbed his key’s and took off.

Phew , a lot of people needed groceries today it seems , that took forever!

“I’ve got a lot of new scans too” said Da’grass.

Your still scanning ?

Yes , I’m continuous scanning my environment , Alex .

Well stop doing that , other people need to have a chance too, we’ve got enough !

As you wish but your being to considering to others if I may say so .

First come , first served as your people tend to say…

Yeah well , I want to leave them something , I’ve got more than enough income and I don’t even know what to buy yet !

“A lifetime residence in New Eden is a good start” says Da’grass or some property you can rent out.

Cathy wanted to have a few game developers buildings , you could buy a building and hire her people .

I doubt they’ll have enough to buy such a building and they need work to earn credits , playing games earns enough to live but not for the high life of Nexus .

Ring riiing (doorbell)

That should be Helena and Sam , keep quit until I introduce you Da’grass!

I will , sure you want to do this Alex ?

“Hi Alex , how are you doing” says Sam

Support the creativity of authors by visiting the original site for this novel and more.

“Don’t mind my stupid brother Alex , he’s got shit for brains” says Helena

He lost his parents , how do you think he’s doing?

Long time no see Sam , I’m alright considering things, thanks for asking.

You know , they said the strangest thing on the radio just now says Helena.

Apparently someone send schematics of vr devices to all known companies and media and its full immersion technology .

People are thinking it’s a hoax because we are nowhere near at that level of technology but the plans are so detailed that they are being looked at by scientists and electromechanical engineers just to make sure.

It even came with the message that 4 games would be available where you could earn credits whatever that is.

“Imagine its true” says Sam , full immersion vr in our lifetime.

It sounds to good to be true , probably someone with to much time on his hands.

Sighh… I wish it was true though.

“I wonder how long it would take to come on the market if it’s” true Says Helena.

“At the earliest in three months” says Alex

“How do you come at that timeframe” asks Sam

Do you know something we don’t ?

Come inside , we’ve got a lot to talk about…

(some time later)

So your saying that your cuff bracelet was inside a coprolite and that it gives you pseudo immortality .

That it comes with an ai who gives you access to something called Nexus and is investing your money inside the stock market.

You’ve got any idea how crazy that sounds Alex ?

I know you’ve got it rough with your parents death but Alex this is not normal.

I think it’s better you get checked out mentally , your grieve is making you mentally ill.

Say something Da’grass …

I can assure you two that my master is not mentally ill and that he is speaking the truth.

I was against the idea off him telling you two of my existence but he assured me that you two could be trusted and I quote : “If I can’t trust them who can I trust ?”.

Did that voice just now came from you bracelet , Alex ? said Helena

Sam just looked like he had seen a ghost.

Yes , Helena and Sam meet Da’grass .

Da’grass meet Helena and Sam.

And you wanted us to get the same treatment as you with the nanites and stock market ?

“I’m sorry what I said earlier Alex but it just seemed to farfetched” said Helena

An ai from the cretaceous period that functions the minute you put it on that’s more than 65 million years old…

I don’t blame you guys , if you told me I wouldn’t believe it also , I know it sounds crazy.

“That’s aliens we are talking about” said Sam and a lot of them if this Nexus exists .

It exists Sam I’ve already been there .

I was out for two days when I got injected with the nanites so it’s best to ask permission from your mother to stay over for a couple of days if you decide to risk it.

Maybe even get a loan from the bank so that you can invest with me.

Can our mother invest too , it’s been rough since our dad left with that bitch.

Yes but you can’t reveal the existence of Da’grass and all the rest you are about to witness.

We won’t , is your bank account number still the same ?

We’ll write over the money as soon as we get it .

So this means you’re both in ?

“Yes , no chance in hell that we are going to miss an opportunity like this” both Helena and Sam exclaimed .

“We’ll have to convince our mother to invest so we’ll be leaving , how much did you invest and how much did you earn already Alex ?” asked Helena.

I invested 40 000 and how much did we earn until now Da’grass ?

Your total portfolio stands at around 150 000 after 2 days Alex.

We’ll see if we can match that , see you tomorrow Alex !

And they left like being chased by a dog.

The minute their money appears on my account use it to invest Da’grass .

I will do so Alex.

Are you going into the Nexus this night Alex ?

No , the next time I’m going it’s with them Da’grass…

“I figured as much” said Da’grass.

I’m going to watch some movies and news on tv , Da’grass inform me if anything happens.

(Evening)

Their money arrived Alex I’m buying stocks as we speak.

How much did they send ?

160 000

And how much do we have?

210 000

Transfer 50 000 to my account , we’ll be getting rich together…

As you wish Alex.

I’m not feeling tired at all…

I told you , you’ll need less sleep now that you are optimized and I’m cleaning the buildup toxins out of your brain the moment they appear .

I’m going to browse the internet for a while , thanks Da’grass !

For what ?

For giving me this opportunity and all the rest you’ve been doing.

It’s my pleasure , Alex !

A lot of people were ecstatic on the internet .

But as long as there where optimists claiming the beginning of a new era there were also those who claimed it was a hoax by someone that didn’t abide by common sense and was trolling the world.

Others claimed it was planted by aliens who wanted to study humanity by playing scenarios that humans needed to solve inside said games.

They were not far from the truth … anyway , the alien part I mean.

Not that I was an alien but it came from aliens.

Since he wasn’t tired at all he decided to play some games , something he hadn’t done since het got the news of his parents.
