The Chaotic World

"Let's meet up someday...when the world goes back to Normal?" Emir said.

"Are you sure things will get normal?? " Axoa replied.

"Of course, it's just that the world is a little out of order right now... I have heard from my parents that the outside world is extremely beautiful... and nothing can compete with that world"

"What if there's another will at play, you or I don't know about? " concerned Axoa asked

The world have fallen apart around 20 years ago, when it started facing severe illness one after other, pollution was at its peak and glaciers were melting, soon war started raging for fertile lands.

It seemed like our world have moved back by 100000 years.

Emir is a 18 year old boy who has never seen the outside world as he was born after 2050 and babies born after that year were extremely weak,because of pollution, scarcity of food, and lack of sunlight. These kids were called "the night's child" as they were born when the entire world was engulfed in a dark blanket .

Most of the Ozone layer has depleted and walking out was like calling death upon oneself, the brilliant minds who died young, researching some way to save humankind from the Sun without the ozone layer after two decades came out with a dark blanket concept. This blanket had its own drawbacks, humans were warned that they will be deprived of the privileges of sunlight for the rest of their lives but nothing could stop the greedy humans to ask for more.

Because of the black blanket the fertile lands turned into barren lands, only a little land exposed to sunlight, where there's ozone layer present is still fertile, but the irony is for years now that land is unsafe for agriculture. The reason is humans are raging war over that piece of land.

In all this madness capitalization in metaverse has made many people rich as for most people that was the only escape. The metaverse in 2070 is quite advanced - almost all the senses are captured but it's far from the real world.

Emir is one of the heroes of the Metaverse but in reality he is a weak child.

"Emir where do you wanna visit today? " Axoa asked.

Though most people use different names in metaverse our hero uses his own name. Emir loved the name his grandparents gave him, they were the last generation who saw the beauty of a far better world.

" Let's go for trekking Axoa! "

"Again? aren't you tired of climbing artificial mountains? "

Emir met Axoa when he was 16 years old, he was a rebel back then, who used to curse the real world every second he was alive, and preached about virtual reality. The cyberpunk dark worlds where everything was perfect in his eyes.

That's when he met Axoa during a loot in his favorite cyberpunk world, where he saw this strong character with purple armor quarreling with the bartender.

The Metaverse doesn't have any rules or laws as such like the real world. So, even a 10 year old could enter the Clubs.

"I am telling you, you humans should have focused on making your world better rather than completely immersing in another world " the lady in purple armor shouted.

"Are you some kind of AI that got some virus infused... I should report the bug" the bartender responded with a smirk.

"Excuse me, you better behave!" the lady exclaimed.

Emir was quite arrogant when it came to dealing with people who bashed the world he spent most time.

"Do you know Mam, what you are talking about?

Are you completely unaware about the boons of metaverse" Emir's character shouted.

"I am completely aware of the boons from virtual meetings to virtual experiments have helped the humankind a lot"

"Then why are you saying such things that gave us so much, you talking about reality what did it even give to our generation other than misery?"

"How much did you give it back, you left reality to suffer just to create an illusion where one can escape to!"

"Who won't like to escape from a chaotic reality like that?" the bartender added to the conversation.

"Have you ever tried to fight back the chaotic world and bring it back to normal?"

"Hey, Lady listen this is our normal, we don't know any other normal!"

Meanwhile, Emir asked his assistant AI, "Hi Mera, Can you give the details of the person in purple armor?"

Mera: "Sure Sir, The person goes by the name Axoa , the pronouns preferred is she/her and she have joined the Metaverse just one month ago,I don't have any more data the rest of it is encrypted! Do you have any more queries?"

"No, you can shut down now"

The conversations that one do with their AI assistant are personal and can't be heard by other people present around.

"Okay Ms.Axoa let's have a bet, I will make you understand why this world is the best and you will make me understand why the real world is the best...Deal?"

"Wait..How do you know my name? I don't remember mentioning it"

"I am a supreme member here, so I have an AI assistant who can go through the database and give me details about a person I ask for... it's that simple and useful"

"What?! that's a privacy breach? this world is insanely dangerous, I was right!"

"Don't worry most of your data was encrypted, it's quite handy, unlike real-world...see how easily one can find one's name.... but sorry newbie's don't have such offers"

"Nonsense! I don't want to do anything like that anyway, I would rather like to know someone slowly, and get their name from them rather than from some AI assistant... that's far more beautiful and meaningful."

Emir doesn't have much to say on the topic as he has never done that, but he firmly believed it won't be much meaningful. He just smirked thinking Axoa is a stupid.

"By the way, you didn't answer about the deal? Are you backing off?"
