Hollywood, Los Angeles, California

10:00 AM

"Good Morning Earth!"

The hall went hark with all the light going off. Only a male voice was heard and with the voice, the venue went quite.

"Since 1800 AD humanity had tried to create a virtual world, first through paintings, later on in 2000s we succeeded in creating a semi VR system that we used by using the VR headsets. Now, at the end of 22nd century, we finally succeeded to finally make a full immersion virtual reality system that replicated the very world we live in."

A man walked on the stage. He wore black suit and pants, a golden tie could be seen at his neck. He was 6.1 feet tall, a slim figure, with a clean shaved handsome angular face which had traces of aging. his age is presumably 70 years.

"Today we are here to witness the wonder of the said technology, I am one of the lead programmers of Serenity and deputy head of the coding team behind Chaos and Order, Stan Wilson."

A round of applause went across the venue. This man is one of the very people who gave humanity the opportunity to solve the crisis they are going through and learn countless new knowledge to advance their progress by who knows how many years.

"As our website had mentioned before, today is the big reveal of our VRMMO Chaos. We chose the name chaos since it seems that before our creation was born, everything was in disorder. As if there was no law to govern anything. That's why, the AI system that will operate in chaos is named Order. Now, before I start telling about everything there is to say, let us see a clip of how the world will look for you. This is a footage of the internal alpha test we conducted will creating the system and it's hardware."

Behind Mr. Wilson, on the screen a scene started playing. The screen split into two and started showing two POV, left side in first person, right side in third person.

A man woke up from the bed inside a room. The room looked like a standard hotel room. He received a call from a device connected to his hand. The scene looked just like what everyone normally see in their daily life, not animated or anything artificial, everything as it should be in reality.

"Hey, we'r waiting for you at the entrance, hurry up!"-another male voice.

"Yes, coming, just let me get my stuff checked."

On third person, it looked like the man was just sitting on his bed. On first person however, a screen opened up in front of the man, inside the screen several icons were shown. The man checked some of them, then closed the screen and went to the bathroom connected to the room.

The scene changed, now the man was out from the hotel, in front of him many people were going on about like any normal day in reality. On first person, a radar and a mini map. He then opened a larger map and checked the co-ordinates of his destination and moved on. As he moved through several district, different kinds of vehicles were shown. The city structure looks to be similar to that of a fort, however it was much bigger than a normal fort. From the map, it seemed that it was only a fort outside, inside it was a normal city structure. The outside however was separated into four zones, which seemed like lines of defense. Each zones were separated by bottomless cliff with the only way to connect was an air transport. The man took the air transport from each one to the next. In every zone he was checked before he was allowed to move on.

At the gate, the man met with four other people, two of them were male, while the other two being female. All of them wore full body armors, but they didn't looked to be bulky, only a bit larger.

"Let's get going, today's expedition will be a hard one, this is a major stronghold of those Sjors. you guys prepared enough detoxification slets right?"

Everyone nodded to that.

"Good, don't want anyone to fall into their charm poisons. Let's set out, I've prepared a MCR-125 for our journey."

They boarded a vehicle that looks like a tank, but it was floating. After they boarded it, one of the men drove it and it started to fly towards their destination.

After 13 minutes of flying, which showcased the barren land they were travelling through, which had nothing but signs of old war, they saw a camp hidden inside a small patch of forest, it wan't too big, but it wasn't small either, just perfect to avoid being spotted easily.

The vehicle landed near the camps where many other vehicles were parked. The squad left it there and moved to one of the larger tents. Although it is called a tent, it looked like a solid bunker. The door opened up and they got in. Inside a middle aged man wearing a much advanced looking armor was sitting on a chair, in front of him was a model of a fortress which covered around 3KM on land and it had a part of the river flowing inside it as well. The man was studying the model and reading the notes by his side frequently. Hearing the door open, the man looked up and saw the squad approaching.

"Hey! I was waiting for you guys to come in, come come, sit down and let me explain today's mission."

After everyone took seat, the map opened another map while showed paths interconnected to the fortress and started explaining.

"Look here, This is a small tunnel connecting to this fortress's main water line. This is will your infiltration point. From here you will be swimming through this line and go to the side reservoir channel. Then you will force open this small side tunnel and go up to the reservoir chamber. Remember, you only got a minute from breaking the entrance to going out, then the tunnel will be sealed by the monitoring system, so don't get locked in. Since this will be in the scope of a small disturbance, the system won't alert the personal stationed at the chamber, you will them go from here to the wind duct. Through the duct, follow this map, it will take you to the sub-system chamber. Go there and disable the sub-system, it will allow us to move close to the hidden entrances and take control of them. Meanwhile, you all will then move on for the main system room. By that time, we will take control of the 4 sub fronts and will engage with the main front. That should decrease the pressure on you. Try to destroy the main system so that we can get access to the main front without facing those defense system. Then meet up at here and we will proceed to the commander room."

The man showed the entire process on the stimulation by his side. The team checked all the details before asking permission to move on, at which the man nodded and busied himself with another stimulation.

At this moment, the first person view showed a screen opening up.
