I realised the implication of the technology at Astor Corp, that just made the need to prepare all the more pressing. As soon as they activate the device, all the virtual reality games we play will become reality. 

This was the moment I'd been waiting for. All the simulations I'd done were leading to this. Now, I could finally put my theories into practice. I placed the headgear on, there was the command to select game, however there one only one game available, it was called ‘Carbine Footprint’, the icon activated after staring at it for two straight seconds. This was a one way ticket, as far as anyone knew, there was no going back. My vision went dark and my whole body numb. Is this is what people went through when they were on the precipice of death. 

Light filled my vision and the world had slowly come into view. I was staring at ceiling, light coming through a window, illuminating the room. This was not La Coupole bunker. My peripheral vision was littered with icons, status symbols, and health bars. One of the images had the letters ‘E’, ‘X’, ‘P’, with three caret symbols above it. After my eyes had adjusted I picked my avatar off of the camp bed, and went over to a locker. There was an old wooden and metal rifle with a scope on, a machine gun, a handgun, dagger, several grenades and flash bangs, body armour, helmet, boots, and a camouflage cape. I waved my hand over the items, and they disappeared and reappeared onto my body. I looked at my avatar in the special item mirror I had once bought with my credits. He avatar was stocky, modelled after heavy weight wrestlers, his head was shaved, his eyes wore the same blue as my real self.

What ever idiot decided to change my starting location was going to feel my wrath.

I checked the map, and saw that I was in the middle of a military compound called Lichterfelde Barracks. The compass showed me that I was facing north. There was  soldier in the walking briskly 

"Where am I?" I asked him.

He stopped and turned to face me, he had a deep voice. "You're in the barracks of the Leibstandarte SS Panzer Division," said the man.

"Great, why are we here?"

"Oh, you don't know, they changed our spawning locations..." he said looking looking around anxiously, "you better hurry up and head to the main square before Lieutenant Fiero rips you a new one!"

"Who's Lieutenant Fiero?"
