It's strange isn't it? My life? Oh! Of-course how on earth will you be able to know my life! If you want to know my opinion about the life of which I'm the owner, I would say, it's complicated. Yes, it's full of suspense, thrill, adventure and yeah, the most important thing, romance. I love to play games, in my childhood, games were the only thing I cared of. I was not a good student, not at all! I am an otaku, or an anime freak! I'm Taki Suzuno. During my time, online games were very popular. And probably those changed my life forever. Most of the hours in a day, I used to spend them in either playing online VRMMORPG games or watching animes. And those who are not familiar with the word VRMMORPG, why fear? I'm here to decipher, it's Virtual Reality Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game.

Those games are basically played using a Virtual Reality Gear or a VR device. During those days VR games were made by many companies but at the top of the leaderboard was the CaronStrap. They probably built the highest graphics game, and being a gamiomaniac, I used to purchase each and every games produced by the company. VR world was a different world as compared to our real world. VR can lead to many possibilities in occurrence of a world, particular VR game had its own world with it's own sort of rules and powers which were given to it's fellow players. I even saw some of my friends going crazy over those game's high end graphics. The developers made it look real and we could even feel what was actually going around, quite intriguing, right? It was not kept upto that only, when you were playing the game, your body will be in a sleep mode, basically the CaronStrap send EM waves to our neurons which gets numb just as the way it occurs during while we are asleep. And yeah technology went quite high, why shouldn't it be? After all it's 2120. We are no longer in the old days where only computer's first player perspective games are being played. The thing which I loved the most about VR games is that, you can make all sorts of friends from all over the globe. If you aren't even a social person, who knows the VR world can even change your personality! In short a VR world had infinite possibilities.

But one of the possibilities took me away from my world, I mean the real world. At one point of time in my life I forgot what real life really was. I used to get totally indulge into the game. I used to spend hours in completing levels and getting ranked at a prestigious rank. It is like a yarn of many individual threads tangled together, if you pull one string the others used to get their shapes changed, guess that's what happened to me. At certain point, I no longer was Taki; I was completely an unknown person. Frustrated, exhausted and depressed. But still couldn't resist myself from being in touch with the CaronStrap.

Now let us be together and find what were the possibilities which were faced by me in real world as well as the VR world. Guess we will indeed have great time in revealing the adventures which I had!
