Prologue 2: ...The Info Dump I mean...
-----
After managing to convince the police officers that he wasn't an insane asylum patient or that he was being brutally murdered, our protagonist went to his room to try and prepare for the setup as the VR dive equipment would arrived within 2 business days. But to his dismay, he discovered that the corner in which it usually occupied, it was gone.
"Son of a B!tch!"[Rick]
In his rage, Rick raced over to the living room where his little sister, Amber, was watching her late-night dramas.
"Hey my little angel. Have you seen my computer anywhere?"[Rick]
Without looking in his direction, Amber motions toward the TV screen and says:
"Don't you remember? You sold it a week ago to buy this TV. You kept ranting about the sound quality being too poor or about all the viruses you had. Actually, how did you get all those viruses?"[Amber]
"I-I was trying to download some videos."[Rick]
"What for?"[Amber]
Rick started to sweat as Amber turned her gaze to meet his. He didn`t know what to say. After all, how does one explain to their 15 year old sister that you were downloading fap material? Furthermore, how would you explain that the girl in the films look very much like your sister?
Rick, in an attempt to appear innocent, looked directly into Amber's, ironically, amber eyes and stood fast in the face of embarrassment. Using his brain, he quickly made up a somewhat believable story.
"R-Research purposes. I-I was told by my boss to find out how our competition is doing!"[Rick]
"Huh..."[Amber]
Rick started to fidget as her gaze grew in intensity.
"A-Anyway, I gotta go get some stuff. Be back later"[Rick]
Without giving Amber a chance to speak, our (cowardly) protagonist ran out the door.

After a little trip (and a lot of a certain someone's wallet crying), our hero returned home with a new computer system. Once he got everything setup, Rick decides to look up the general information of game. After speaking to the great elderly scholar named Goo Gle, our hero learned of the following:

Turning off the computer, our protagonist lays on his bed and lets his mind fade into black...
