The Aeternus Universe

The year of humanity is 2415, and DDVR and VRMMORPG's are commonplace now. It's extremely hard for a new game to come out and be successful. The greats of these genres have ruled for a few centuries now. A new game is releasing soon, and it has promise to be one of those. The Aeternus Universe. A Virtual Reality game has what you would expect from a game in this genre. However, some things make it special. One of those being the exploration and adventure through galaxies and The Aeternus Universe. Other games in this genre take it to fantasy and medieval times. This is set in a universe where there are super advanced technologies, spaceships, and Mecha suits—lost Alien tech ready to be found and claimed. Some of these all come together. The story starts 2 days before the release of the game, and with our protagonist—a 20-year-old male by the name of Scott Autumn. He is one of the few jumping from the current major game to this one. Seeing its potential for greatness and chance to be one of the biggest games on the market.

~~~(POV: Dr. Emile Hamlton)~~~

~~~(Location: Techese Galaxy, Deep Core, Main Chain World Kelromera)~~~

My exhausted body falls on the couch, and my muscles relax for the first time in ages. Getting out of the Impyra galaxy alive has pushed me beyond my mental limit for stress. The Parasite...

The rapid spread of the vile organism... It's haunting me even when I'm awake. I can only imagine the nightmares I'm getting from everything that's happened to me in the last few days.

My father and brother walk into the room and stand next to the terminal, projecting a hologram. It's Kelromera's news, and the only thing being talked about is the Parasite that Teller-Bravo has unleashed.

"You couldn't believe how happy I was to know you survived... Seeing you send out the message..."

Mom wraps me in a hug from the side and struggles to find the strength to let me go.

We're all looking at the hologram... It's showing freezeframes of some of the forms the Parasites are capable of creating.

"Many experts are stunned that such an organism exists. The claims that a cure or vaccine is in development are all rumors... In my personal opinion, nothing is stopping this... Thing..."

The on-air reporter breaks character and stays silent after his words.

The billions of players are likely trying to leave the Impyra galaxy at this moment, but the quarantine zone is making sure that nothing is leaving the galaxy. The Parasite will continue to spread, and as it does, it'll become harder to stop.

"Geez, Emile... You escaped these things?"

My brother's voice is a balance between shock and amazement.

Kelromera and the Techese Galaxy are safe, but I know it won't be for long. Whatever is on that space station in the Gord-Prime system is far more dangerous than I could ever imagine.

"The place that this outbreak started has probably been moved..."

The space station is capable of travel, and I doubt it's still there at this point...

I don't know much about the Parasite, but they became more intelligent over time, and that's a clear indicator of a hivemind. What it is and where it is on the space station is a mystery to me.

"Tell me about it... I lost so many friends and colleagues..."

Thinking about all them hurts... Seeing a girl that I liked and I thought liked me turned into a fleshy monstrosity really makes you think...

My father comes towards the couch and sits next to me, and wraps me in a hug from the side mom isn't on.

"You know more about this than anyone right now... Do you think it's safe to stay here... Were close to the Impyra galaxy from here..."

He brings up what I've been worrying about, and I know that Techese won't be safe for long...

As much as I want it to be, I have to face the facts. This Parasite won't be contained for long, and when it does get past the quarantine zone, we need to get far away from here.

"We're safe, for now. Once the quarantine is broken, we'll need to get as far away as we can as fast as we can."

The solemn look on my father's face sucks... This is our home, after all...

~~~(POV: Scott Autumn)~~~

~~~(Location: Immortalitas)~~~

Aurora has been silent, but I can tell from the look on her face she's running through calculations and probabilities. I'm doing the same exact thing. She raises her head slightly, and she turns to me.

"We're exiting the Genesis Dimension and exiting over Primordium Prime."

My eyes stay glued to the window, and we exit the Genesis Dimension.

The view that fills my eyes takes my breath away... It's the largest world I've ever seen in my entire life... It's metallic and covered in Primordium designs... It's a machine world...

"We're getting permission to land from the leftover system protocols. They know you're Primordium."

Our power supply is low, and we're dead in orbit right now.

We'll have the planet bring us in and land us.

"Aurora, have the system protocols and security bring us in. From the readings, we don't have any power to move at the moment..."

She smiles and snaps her fingers. I know she already knew what I was going to say. She's being respectful by letting me give the order, and I appreciate that from her.
