Conquest's Arch Magus

Marcus Fletcher was just your everyday kid, growing up with his loving mother and father, learning his father's trade on how to craft arrow shafts in the day and spending time with his family in their small home at night. They didn't have much but each other was enough. But one day that all changed, when 'they' descended from the skies, immortal beings who started to conquer their world. ----- Conquest is the latest game made for the revolutionary ARC system, containing the latest virtual reality technology, a miracle in human engineering. The world of Conquest is run by one of the most advanced AI's ever built, Eve, able to monitor every situation in the game at any one time and improve and evolve the world on her own without any limitation other than to offer players enjoyment. However on the opening date of Conquests release, May 1st 2059, a small glitch went unnoticed by Eve and the developers, a technical impossibility occured. Marcus Fletcher, a small NPC, son of an arrow maker, gained free will.
