Introduction
The game went like this: you created a character. That was you and you saw yourself in third person. You could pass others, talk to others, make friends. Your in-game character could wear whatever, have a job and even enter relationships. Normally, such a game wouldn't be as wildly spread. But when people slept, the game became first person. You entered the game. It was your life, your job, your family. And when you arose from your dreams, you were fully rested.
But then the rumours started.
It started with people being led to believe that they were the beta testers. And then people started to sleep and play Roma. And not wake up. These people, dubbed Sleepers, were all over the news and Roma was recalled only a month after original release. Sleepers were all put into a specific hospital and locked away. Another month later, Roma was re-released and it was as if people had completely forgotten about Sleepers.
Sleepers never disappeared though. There were constantly people who would 'fall ill' and the government, being on Roma's side, would cover up such incidents. Some say if you ventured below the city, you'd find a morgue of sleepers. Some say they're registered as people in comas.
The servers 'failed'. Everyone was stuck. Most people didn't panic. Roma was a lifestyle, and they might as well enter the world they envied. But it was still a FAILURE. Some people woke up, much to Roma's dismay. And when they woke, they wondered what Roma's true goal was. What was Roma? It had gained control over the world so easily, but not one person had looked into the company. Who they were. What they were. And what they wanted from the Earth.
As people slept, they stayed in perfect condition. However, the buildings around them, the world, did not. Nature began to take back the earth. The earth which was never ours. We never found all this land. It found us, and took us in. And the Roma have been observing us for centuries. Millennia. Only when the technology was at a certain point could they release their 'game'. And, like mice, we fell for the cheesy trap. Humanity had been lost to an ancient race. We know nothing about them.
But some humans stayed awake. There were those who had never bothered downloading Roma. Those who woke up despite playing. And those who were stuck in a world between the two. Less than a million people walked the earth. It may seem like a lot, but with a million people, there's no way to communicate. It's less than 0.008% of the Earth's previous population of eight billion. A new game was release, called Hone. It didn't invade the sleep. In fact, it was incredibly basic. It just located other humans and communicated with them. People soon gathered into one country, if they could. But some couldn't make it, and some stayed with their families.
That's when Roma invaded. They weren't corporeal creatures. An entire planet appeared above the country Honers had gathered in. The Roma possessed human bodies and, while attempting to not hurt them, fought the Honers.
Before, only Admins had powers. But in the last year of Roma, when people were disconnecting more and more, they added an RPG style game. Powers were utterly dependent on character personality and ability. About twenty people have these powers. But only a handful possess all the abilities and powers of their type.
The Fighter Classes: Warrior, Knight, Beserker, Samurai
The Magician Classes: Mage, Elemental, Illusionist, Sorcerer
The Rogue Classes: Thief, Shadow, Psychic, Assassin
The Cleric Classes: Priest, Templar, Paladin, Witch Doctor
The Ranger Classes: Hunter, Sniper, Dual Wielding, Beastmaster
They believe they were specifically given the power to fight. Mirage meets in a different building every week and updates Hone to ward off Roma. They live with other Honers and, though they have to ward off Roma, they still use the old schools and hospitals for their original purpose. There are obviously a few rules: Sleeping people are not to be touched unless they are relatives. Then, they can be brought to the home of the Honer. If attacked by Sleepers, you must do everything to avoid hurting them. Killing on sight is immoral and will be punishable by exile. And lastly, Mirage cannot use their powers without another Honer nearby as a witness.
