2215, Tokyo, Japan.

I had just won one of the biggest tournaments in the world, but I still felt lost, I walked up to the rooftop, thinking about the past and everything I had done to get here.

"How did I get here" This was what was I kept repeating to myself in my head, looking back on everything I had done, all the year I had spent to get to where I am now, all the times when I had wanted something and my parents would get me it even though they knew they couldn't afford it.

My family, once, I took this word for granted.

Always thinking that my family would be there for me, always thinking no matter what I would do they would always be on my side, but I was wrong, although I know my family loved me, they couldn't keep up with me especially because I would never use my own money when I would purchase anything, this all changed when my family became deep in debt.

My father couldn't handle the stress he had from all the loan companies and my mother just left one day, never to return again, I found out later that although her life had become better after she left, she had died shortly after from an illness.

My dad, on the other hand, my dad stayed, but because of the stress his hair had turned white earlier than most people, he would get home from work with a haggard look, no longer looking as healthy as he used to, his face which used to contain a smile, no longer showed any sign of happiness, not long after he had his 45th birthday he died, in truth I could've helped him with the burden, but I was extremely selfish, never listening to others.

After my parents died, I was closed off from the world, not listening to people, not helping people when they needed it, eventually, I became recluse, in the game I was popular for being ice cold, despite the amounts of players that wanted to help me, listen to me, stay with me, I would never accept an offer that didn't have value, later on I found out what it meant to have people who treasured you, unfortunately it had come to the point where it was too late for me, I had discarded everything that I had, the people who treasured me, all for Pandora.

Pandora was a dream in 2175, a dream dreamt up by many people who had an idea to create the worlds best game.

Pandora, that was a name that everyone has heard of, but in reality, it was just a game, although it was just a game it was also the game, it was known as the game because it was the first virtual reality game, controlled by AI, to be released, the first of its kind, it was made by Titan, a company known for its research into virtual reality and artificial intelligence, they started out as just a group of people interested in computer software and computer games, but one day, one of them said "What if we made a virtual reality game?" Ever since that day they had focused all they had into making the best type of virtual reality game they could think of, every single point would be jointly discussed making sure that the game was what they dreamed of, they had spent several tens of years creating the game.

While they were making the game, other people in the world were creating new inventions, new types of software and making new discoveries.

One of those people was James Stevens, when he was young he would play games or read novels constantly, massing a huge collection of games and books, but one day he thought "What if I created Artificial Intelligence, then I wouldn't need to do anything because the rich people will all be paying me for the chance to use my creation." Shortly after he had this dream he had registered for MIT and met the soon to be leader of Titan, Mark Anderson. Mark shared the dream he and his group of friends had with James, soon after that, they had all become friends and the dream of making a VR game turned into a VR game run by an AI, the first of its kind.

The game took over 25 years to create, the dream they had was created.

A game, a game run by AI, a game that can create its own updates, a game that is evolving at all times, a game that cannot be controlled by anyone, a new game was created and that game was called:

Pandora
