Opening scene

Social media, the news, the newspapers. All were talking about the new game that revolutionized the world. A new type of video game. **The World of Twilight.** "All these lines at the game stores in all the shopping malls, it's sold out, everyone is snatching it up, this new game that just came out. It's unprecedented, The World of Twilight is making waves... luckily I managed to get it on pre-order" said a TV presenter on television. On TV, you could see teenagers, children, and even adults, men and women brandishing a game box, with big smiles, being interviewed by reporters. You turn off the TV, then you take the Avarus gaming headset, to leave the real world and return to this world you loved so much. You lie down in your bed, the headset on your head, the game launches, and you are as if teleported into the game. Your level and your equipment from the beta test have disappeared, everything is reset. The starting city is majestic, still as immense, but something is different. You are no longer a thousand players from the beta, but billions of players gathered in this city. Everyone is happy, amazed, some are discovering and strolling, others are browsing the stalls. Groups are already forming, but no one is leaving the city. People are talking, discovering the game that is opening up to them. Teleportation lights are still shining everywhere each time a new player appears. You decide to go to some stalls, in the market street to find what you're looking for. You don't just see teenagers or adults, you also notice that there are children, playing the game. You see them running through the streets, or spending their starting money on low-quality equipment. You also hear conversations here and there. "I don't know what weapon to play, should I be a mage or a warrior..." or "what if we teamed up, would you like that..." or "I'm going to be a healing mage..." and "look at the weapon here, it looks cool..." It was a happy, peaceful day, that filled you with joy. But it didn't last long... As you were looking at a stall, you notice that some players are being teleported somewhere. Then it's your turn. "A forced teleportation?" you hear to your left. A huge shadow looms over the city. A human silhouette. Then it suddenly speaks. **"Dear players, male and female. Today I am happy to announce the release of the game, The World of Twilight... I introduce myself, I am Daniel Osvarde the founder and creator of the AVARUS company."** "Seriously?" and "So cool!" are heard all around. The shadow suddenly speaks again. **"Some of you may have already noticed that the logout option is locked... This is not a bug, I repeat this is not a bug, but a feature of the game."** Murmurs of panic run through the crowd. No more logout option, no more escape. Which means we are trapped. A player three steps in front of me suddenly shouts, "What do you mean it's not a bug, we can't log out, what the hell is this?" The shadow/Daniel Osvarde, remains silent for a moment before answering. **"From today this world will be your new home, you will live and you will die here. Death will no longer be fictitious, it will be real. Your new life is here."** A wave of horror and panic runs through the crowd, no one speaks anymore, they are all as if petrified. **"To be able to exit the game, you will have to overcome all the floors of the game, up to the 100th floor and defeat the final boss. If you die in the game, you will also die in real life. The moment your health points drop to zero, the AVARUS headset will explode, and kill you instantly."** He makes a sort of bow. **"I wish you a pleasant game, and good luck."** he disappears. Silence reigns for a moment. Then chaos, people collapsing, screams, insults against Daniel Osvarde. It's chaos, anarchy. But you. Even if fear roots you to the spot, you know you can't stay here. You must hurry to equip yourself, to progress to avoid dying quickly.
