Lu is a 20 year old with a dream that differs from most people, a dream to create. He tried learning programming but he didn't have talent for it so he moved to world building, just terrain making but he found it a little bit hard and took too much time so he abandoned it but still has the dream and passion to create.

Yes he wishes to be a higher being. But still reality is cruel, he's weak physically but strong mentaly, thinks he'll die early and will not make it past 30, he wrote novels wishing that it would satisfy him but still he couldn't touch nor see his creation only use his imagination.

But unexpectedly, he lived past 30 and is now 102 years old, in a world with advanced technology, Virtual reality is a real thing now, he has a family he never thought he would make someday, but the irony of living for so long is losing every brother, sister and cousin he knew, they all died between the age of 50-70.

He has sons and grandsons, and there is an incoming great grandson at that, but now he's blind and his hearing is quite weak, the only way for him to communicate with his family is through virtual reality where he also plays online video games, while still holding the passion for creation.

Now he is with his oldest son who's 69 years old with the sign of wrinkles on his face, he sat with him at the rooftop looking at the starry sky.

"Son..are you there? Are you there son?" Lu yelled.

"Yes dad, I'm here…" his son Zhang answered him while having an obvious sad expression.

"Take care of the family, I...i.." as Lu took his last breath before even finishing his sentence.

His son Zhang who saw it let out a flood of tears without control, unable to hold them off. He took a cloth and covered his father's face and dialed up a number.

"Sister, dad he..he..just died" Zhang let go of the phone, and held his face and continued mourning over his dear father's death.
