Valerie Martinez bled, suffered, and endured the harsh life that came with living in the 23rd century. Severe overpopulation in a crowded underground city was just the first of her problems.  But this was the final straw. Cimeira City had taken the last bit of her Mom's legacy: a community garden, destroying her mother's life's passion and work – which Valerie believed to have attributed to her mother's death. And what did they make on the desecrated land, you might ask? They made another surveillance tower to "watch over" the people. The world above was a desert wasteland that was caused by the Final War, yet the people that governed the people she lived amongst, deep beneath the desert, seemed to want to ruin the last bastion of nature in the hellhole they were in. Valerie, realising that nothing is more sacred to the governing body of Cimeira City than more unnecessary surveillance and control over the populace, wanted out. Thankfully, Avalon, the leading company in practically all avenues of the post-Final War industry, had begun to offer the other cities' citizens to be rehoused to their side of the world, over in the city of Avalon. Though their naming conventions were entirely too simple, all the food, water, electricity, housing, medical needs of every citizen in their city? All paid for by Avalon. And now they were offering to rehouse all citizens and families from every city for free, for 10 years straight. And if they don't want to live there anymore after the 10 years are up, they are free to leave. Valerie pounced on the opportunity, taking the last train there, leaving that damned city behind. …Unfortunately, on the way to the city and while playing a game for the very first time, Valerie may have just caused the undoing of the System; something that was integral to the function of the most popular FullDive VR game ever released, creating a Calamity in-game (and outside of it) that was prophesied a 1000 years ago within the game's history. Oops? A thinly-veiled story of humanity's desperation, the bodies that govern us, the conflicted ideals of many, and of the questions we must pose to ourselves as a species.
