Virtually Real Part 0: Introduction
#1 of Virtually Real
Introduction and disclaimer to my ongoing Virtually Real series.
Virtually Real
Disclaimer: While I hate disclaimers, I feel the need to put one on this piece of work due to the explicit nature of the content. The story takes place primarily in a virtual reality game set between 800 and 1,100 years in the future. While yes, I've based the main character on myself I do not condone slavery or sexual contact with minors. That said the first part of the story does contains both. I considered cutting these scenes however, without the scenes to establish the character's growth it makes later events less relevant.
I started writing this piece in 2016 as an experiments to explore my feelings and boundaries. It quickly devolved into writing scenes involving cubs, incest, and slavery. Then it hit another twist and I found myself exploring a fantasy that I hadn't even realized I wanted. Because of this fantasy things hit the fan and I got into exploring my own past and repressed feelings. While writing this my own feelings have been put through the ringer and I hope when I've fully recovered I'm going to be a better writer and person because of it otherwise I've put myself through a lot of pain for nothing. I never planned to allow anyone else ever read this, so at times things may seem repetitious, I'm very much aware of this fact and I apologize in advance for this miscarriage of writing skill. AS it is now I don't foresee this story ending, however if something happens where I'm unable to continue a suitable ending has been written.
The story itself focuses on an individual born in modern times getting his hands on alien technology and, in his enthusiasm to become his perfect self, ends up making himself practically immortal. Realizing that he may have gone a bit overboard. He reaches out to the people he trusts most offering to do the same for them, without telling them he has already changed himself, and he is politely rejected. None of them want to watch their loved ones grow old and die around them. He next reaches out to others he knows online only to again be rejected since he is obviously unstable and delusional. Hurt beyond comprehension he retreats into space for decades only to reach out again with the same results each time. Finally giving up on humanity, he retreats into Virtual Reality worlds to fill the void that his life has become.
The story begins in a newly generated world linked by portals to a hub world which the VR computer periodically changes to suit the games he is currently playing.
