What do you mean power's out!

The room was beat-up and the lights flickering, however, no trash was laying around the room. Even the unpaid bills were neatly stacked up on the counter. The box for the new full motion VR headset lay in the corner being the only thing not in an organized place. The headgear was sleek, white, and more like a blue tinted visor than a headgear. A jubilant slime was evident on the guy's face even underneath the scruffy beard.

He laid in bed filling in the required information about his height, arm span, hand size, weight etc. As the gear calibrated he looked through the free games. There were very few games and the smallest was a female game akin to Cinderella. He without hesitation began the download as he waited for everything to be set in place.

He proceeded to take off the headgear opting to clean a bit more. Outside his window was a wonderful view but he took no notice of it. He was high up in the sky the darkness of night making the ground invisible. The view made one feel akin to them flying around the starless night. The man was more entertained by sweeping dust and finally finding a place for the new box. Everything about the place was simple if not old and poor. The only things up to date were sporadic forms of electronic that advanced over the years but the most modern ones were missing.

He made his way back to the headgear and didn't think about anything before he put it on and started up the Cinderella game that had just finished downloading.

The load was seamless as he digitized as a blond hair girl dressed in rags. His first action wasn't to admire himself but to frown at the state of the place. He quickly grabbed the broom and with a serious look started to clean the room. This went uninterrupted for about an hour as he picked out the clothes to be washed and dusted the whole space. The bed was now made and was perfectly organized and with the dirty clothes in hand the room was spotless.

He carried it downstairs and found the washbin and board ready for his use. He could hear the voices of others in the house but ignored them. He finished this task making one more lap upstairs and down to put the clothes out to dry. He decided to clean more room upstairs and when he finished and walked back out he locked eyes with a man with a glass slipper in hand.

"I thought you said there were no other maidens in the house."

"Oh, that's is Cinderella a maid, there is no reason for you to try her." The step-mother replied echoed by the three sisters.

"I'm required to try every maiden."

He heard this conversation and loaded the settings screen to close the game. He was shocked to find it wouldn't load though. He was trapped, he was Cinderella.

This is where our story truly begins.
