First off, I apologize for not having chapter 4 out. It's taking me longer than I thought to get the leveling system in place. I'm almost done with that. Chapter 4 is turning out to be longer too, so I'll be splitting it into 2 parts.

In regards to that, I've got an article from the story's real world to satisfy some of your curiosity. I'll be putting out articles like this whenever there will be a bit of a delay on the next chapter. Hope you like it! (There's a lot of obvious foreshadowing here!)

Virtual Gaming's Insider Look: Rebirth+ Game Release Plans

Hello virtual fans! Thanks for visiting our site and showing support. Today I bring news directly from a source of the developing company for Rebirth+. We've all seen the realistic trailers and promises from the parent company GenZero Gaming. Without tons of rumors and no leaks, this is the first real information since the announcement of the new project four years ago.

The information is all that we've been waiting for. The release date for Rebirth+!! Our insider hinted at a few selections of lucky advanced players. Because of the tight-lipped security for such an advancement of gaming, and to keep the authenticity of new technology, Only a certain amount of players will be allowed in at a time.

We've been told that there will be no Alpha, Closed Beta, or even Open Beta testing. This leaves a real treat for the first players! When asked why, our insider was not allowed to disclose that information just yet. Luckily, they did tell us more about potential release dates.
