[fanfic] Inspired by .hack.

The newest edition of the very popular game ‘The World’ came out: The World: V3. Everyone got the option to also get the new gear that allowed for a better player interface. This time around you got a visor (which covered your entire vision) that had a microphone to speak into. Also there are some anti-shock wires that could be adjusted for your arms and hands. There are even some of the same wires going down the legs and feet, these being optional to all players. This gave the game a more life-like feel to it.

After finishing your personal setting and entering the mainframe you were given the options to start with your old character with half the experience and stats. Although starting a new character gave you the option to more of the new items and other places.

Little did everyone’s knowledge, even to the creators and admins, that hackers have accidentally reawakened and restarted something major. Monsters have begun to appear in areas they are too powerful for the area they are at. Those who meet these monsters are lucky compared to the few others. Some people have gone into comas with minor injuries where their character was hit. This time CC Corp is trying to do a mass shutdown of The World but they are getting no response and cannot alert the players for some reason.
