The Enemy of the Living
Virtual Death, Real Evil
In virtual reality, nothing is real. Fake orcs pretend to fight fake elves. Priests churn out blessings on a conveyor belt. Mages defeat their enemies with digital illusions of combat spells.
Yet every game is just part of something much bigger. Human nature doesn't change. People will always find a way to exploit or even harm others, even if it leads to personal loss or even death in real life.
I am John Doe, a necromancer and guardian of the dead. But that's just my in-game character. Just an illusion. In reality, I'm playing detective, following a trail. And the worst part is that my employers' interests are not limited to the game itself...
Pavel Kornev
