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.

~~~(Jessica Autumn)~~~

Scott's messages with this Nicky girl seem innocent enough. There have only been a couple of times where she says something flirty.

"How come you never said you had a friend whos a girl? Nicky looks like a beautiful girl."

While her goth look is a little heavy, it doesn't take away from her natural beauty. I didn't think Scott would have a friend whos a girl, let alone a goth one.

My eyes meet his, and he smiles, one that doesn't indicate guilt or suspicion. To him, she's just a friend.

"We started hanging out the few times I went out to the ice rink myself. Turns out, she's the owner's granddaughter, and she works there from time to time. She's pretty chill. She watches out for me."

I don't know why, but that bugs me. It shouldn't, though.

He hasn't replied to anything flirty and keeps the conversations short. She might be interested in him, but I can't tell from the tests she sends him.

"Has she invited you places before? Like parties or her place?"

He slowly nods his head, and there is an echo of worried and paranoia in my body.

"Have you done any of that with her?"

He shakes his head, and it eases the feelings in me.

Scott isn't an idiot, and he probably knows that Nicky has a flirty edge.

"Nicky is on and off with her ex-boyfriends quite a bit, from what I remember. She usually leans on me when she goes through a breakup. She's a good friend. She keeps girls away from me."

Now that worries me... This is starting to sound like some form of manipulation and keeping him isolated from women.

So she can keep him all to herself... Oh my god, I sound crazy!!! Relax, Jess... Don't go all psycho-clingy on him.

"Did you ever ask why she keeps girls away from you? Doesn't that seem strange to you?"

The intelligent glimmer in his eyes has a shine to them. He creases his eyebrows just a slight bit. This is the same look when he's in deep thought.

He lets out a small sigh. It's not one of annoyance or frustration. It's more on the cautious side.

"She said that she likes to protect me from any unworthy girls... She said it made her feel like my older sister..."

The feeling that goes through me is pure jealousy. It's so strong that if my eyes could turn green, they would. She wants to be acting as his older sister.

That's my role in his life... I'm his older sister!! That crazy goth bit-... I need to relax! This isn't that big of a problem! I'm not acting like myself.

"Soo... Uhh... Do you think of her as your older sister?"

Oh god! I sound like a clingy little girl who has no confidence whatsoever! I come from a beautiful family, and I'm a beautiful woman! I have nothing to worry about!

His small grin turns into a smile.

"Are you jealous?"

My cheeks flush red at being called out, and his perfect smile is beaming at me.

"You're totally jealous! Wow, didn't think you'd get jealous over someone trying to take the big sister role from you."

My red cheeks are betraying me, and I have to cover my face with his phone.

He takes this opportunity to remove the phone and stare at me. It makes it all the worse, and I reach out to try and turn his head away, but I'm not strong enough.

"C'mon... Don't stare at me... I don't want you looking at me when I'm like this..."

He raises one eyebrow and gives a half-grin. He grabs my wrists and holds them at my sides.

The difference in our strength is too much, and he soon has complete control over me.

"You don't know something about relationships... I got an important lesson from mom and dad when I was in high school..."

His voice coaxes me in and grabs my attention.

"It's okay to be vulnerable in front of the person that cares about you."

His words cause the opposite of what he wanted.

My face flushes more, and I struggle to get free, but he presses me on my back and pins my arms over my head on the couch. The TV is playing in the background.

"You'll never get free until you tell me that you're jealous with your own lips..."

He stares down at me, and my body heat is slowly rising. He didn't intend for me to start getting aroused either.

I turn my head to the side to break eye contact, but he lays his hand on the side of my face and turns me back to look at him. His eyes bore into mine...

"Okay... I'm jealous of Nicky... I'm your big sister... Not her..."

His smile spreads across his gorgeous face, and he leans his head down. His lips slowly approach mine, but at the last second, his phone goes off. Stopping him in his tracks.
