Virtual Empire

Chapter 2

After waiting for a week it was finally Sat.u.r.day. James met up with his friends at the store waiting for his appointment.

"I wonder what it will be like in there" said James.

"I just hope that that this isn"t bulls.h.i.t" said Laurence.

"Well we"re about to find out, it"s our turn to try it out" said Max.

Then an employee came out to show them the machine. He got them hooked up, and then started up the machine.

"Have fun."

When it started up for James, there was a dark s.p.a.ce. He then saw a selection screen come up showing him the options for the locations he could experience. He decided to pick a mountain. The dark s.p.a.ce faded away, and then he was on a mountain. It was unbelievable. James walked around and was speechless. It was just like he was on an actual mountain. He could feel the air on his face, he could breath in the fresh mountain air. Then he tripped and fell.

"d.a.m.n that actually hurts a little. Other than that everything is f****** amazing."

Just then the mountain faded out of existence, and James was brought back to reality. He was unhooked from the capsule and exited the machine.

"That was unreal", said Max as soon as he saw James and Laurence.

"Yeah, I would love go back in if it wasn"t for the insanely high", said Laurence.

"Hey, what locations did you pick?", said James.

"The moon."(Laurence)

"I picked a forest." (Max)

"Hey how much does all this cost together?"James asked the employee.

"This is a prototype, it is not for sale. The model for commercial use will be available in one month."

"Okay then, how much does that model cost?"

"The World Dive capsule is dived into multiple tiers, and the higher the tier the more expensive it is. There are 6 tiers total."

"Okay, but I asked about the price, not all of what you just said."

"It is required of me to say all of that. The prices are on this pamphlet."

(Prices on the pamphlet)

Tier 1 - $5,000

Tier 2 - $10,000

Tier 3 - $50,000

Tier 4 - $100,000

Tier 5 - $500,000

Tier 6 - $1,000,000

"These prices are crazy high!"

"That"s the price to pay for an otherworldly experience. If you can"t afford to buy it, you can enter the raffle for next month. They"re giving away 100 capsules in total, one tier 6, four tier 5s, five tier 4s, ten tier 3s, ten tier 2s, and the rest are tier 1s."

"How do we enter this raffle?"

"Just create an Starry Dawn account, and you can enter the raffle from there."


"Okay thanks."

James and his friends then left store and rushed home to enter the raffle.
