"David, it's time for school!" The day I heard my mother Gloria say that, I lost control of my body. "Up, down, left, right. This is a punch, this is a kick, this is the jump key..." My ears were filled with words I couldn't understand. I had become a puppet. He controlled me as I wiped out Arasaka, butchered Militech, killed Biotechnica, slashed Kang Tao, and cut down Night Corp like ants. He even made me watch a space shuttle set off fireworks amid a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood... Excerpt from Cyber Hero Saga: The Biography of David.
I was invited to try out the Edge Runners game. The lifelike graphics blew me away. I started with the account name "David Martinez," and had other characters alongside me, including "Mann," "Sasha," and "Lucy." In this supposedly completely free open-world game, I played them all with a vengeance. Then, in an instant, I gained a body inside the game too! Now that's more like it! No more getting zapped by the mask!
