Enemy of the Living
Virtual Death, Real Evil
In virtual reality, nothing is real. Fake orcs pretend to fight fake elves. Priests offer blessings on a production line. Mages defeat their enemies with digital illusions of combat spells.
Yet every game is just part of something much bigger. Human nature does not 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 keeper of the dead. But that is just my in-game character. Just an illusion. In reality, I'm playing detective, on the trail. And the worst part is, the interests of my employers are not limited to the game itself…
