You failed to drink water in time. You're dead. [[Spawn in]]

You decide to get out of the open and run towards the treeline. You walk into the trees and kick something with your foot. You look down and see a piece of flint that's the size of your hand. As you squat down to pick it up, a fat rabbit stops less than ten feet away from you. It doesn't notice you because it's too busy feasting on a patch of wildflowers.

You failed to eat some food in time. You're dead. [[Spawn in]]

You failed to find some warm clothes. You're dead. [[Spawn in]]

You shoot him and hit him in his chest. He falls back and hits the floor. You walk towards him and notice his bulletproof vest. At the same time, he raises his magnum and shoots. You're dead. [[Spawn in]]

As you kick, he simultaneously stands, steps to the side, and shoots the leg you kicked with. As your leg lands, your body goes crashing on the floor. You go to say something, but are silenced by another shot. You're dead. [[Spawn in]]

You leap towards him and swing the knife towards his head. He backs up a little, causing you to stab him in his cheek. You pull the knife out, ripping his face, and cock your arm back for another stab at it. BOOM! Your body drops without your permission. He stands over you, holding his face and aiming his smoking magnum at you. A bright flash.... You're dead. [[Spawn in]]

Before walking into the tiny village, you climb up a tree. You get pretty high and can see all of the structures. You spot the marketplace and see Andrew. He is crouched behind a car. You follow his line of sight. You see the savages by a greenhouse across from the market. You spot the chief (they are the only ones allowed to wear red jackets), he's tall and muscular with a large scar next to his right eye. You also see a savage teenage girl admiring a statue made from a corpse, metal scraps, and other things. You take a deep breath and climb down the tree.

You close one eye and line up your aim. With one quick motion, you launch the rock. It bullets towards the rabbit too fast for it to move. The rock knocks one of his ears down and causes the rabbit to scurry off. You search for the piece of flint for almost two hours before finally giving up.

You grab a rough stone and begin to grind it on the flint. After making your stone knife, you gather all the large pieces of flint that broke off and place them in your pocket. You walk slow and step lighter than a feather. You hold your knife out as you approach the grazing rabbit. His ears move and he hops, but right into your knife. After wiping the knife, you put it in your pocket and grab the rabbit by it's hind legs. You only walk for a few minutes before coming accross another person. You analyze him from head to toe as he walks towards you. He's in rags like you, but has a bookbag on. You see no signs of a weapon. As he gets closer, he introduces himself and claims to be starving. He tells you he's been out here for hours and thinks that he won't make it much longer.

You tell him to help you gather the pieces necessary to build a fire and you'll split half of your meal with him. He agrees, and you have a campfire made in no time. You bend down to light the fire with your flint.... Darkness. You're dead. [[Spawn in]]

You put weight on your pivot foot and inconspicuously grip the stone knife tight. Then, you apologize and tell him that all you have is this rabbit. Almost as fast as the last word rolled off your tongue, he pulls a gun from the small of his back and fires. You spring to the side and simultaneously throw the knife. It finds a home in his neck and he goes down gurgling. You search his bookbag and find a field jacket and matching cammo pants. Under that, a bottle of water and a walkie-talkie. You put the clothes on and slip the bag on your back. You take the clip out of his gun, count three bullets, put the clip back in, and tuck the gun on your waist.

You gather the materials necessary to make a campfire. After putting it together, you use your flint stones to ignite the flame. The crackles of the flame play a melody for your soul as the heat warms you up. You take a long stick and sharpen one side. After, you prepare the rabbit and skewer the meat with your sharpened stick. You enjoy the warm meal as the fire burns out.

You aim for the chief's head and fire. The shot lands in his shoulder instead and causes him to spin around. You squeeze the trigger again, but all it does is click. The chief raises his rifle and shoots you dead.

You feel a tap on your shoulder and take off the VR headset. It's your father Tuda. Outside of SurviveVR, the hottest new VR game, you're Jacob a 15-year-old boy on summer break. Your dad, is one of the few billionaires to really have a heart. He makes it his business to go outside the city walls, every other day, to feed the *people of the land*. He also builds schools and irrigates water for some of the many villages outside of the walls. Today, as you do at least twice a year, you're going with him and it's time to go. You turn off your PS35 and get ready. <hr> *people of the land* is the name given to anyone who is born or lives outside of the city walls. <hr> [[Take a ride with pops]]

You and your father get in the back of his self-driving Maybach. Tuda punches in the coordinates into the GPS and the car begins to move. The city behind the wall still looks how it did before the 40-hour storm. Very few buildings have slight damage, but OWL has vowed to fix those soon. Most buildings are covered from street to roof in either lights or screens. Windows have glass than can go transparent or turn into a screen that displays images, video, or color. As the car makes its way through the city, you stare out the window. You watch the other wealthy people walk around, shop, laugh, and eat. All humans behind the wall are wealthy or government officials. All the workers are robots. Some have their metal frames and wires exposed, while others look exactly like a human. Your father always takes this time to educate you on what happened 20 years ago. [[Brief history]] [[Approaching the north wall's exit]]

In 2200, a global storm event took place, with shifting earthquakes, massive tidal waves, and powerful storms that lasted for forty hours. After the 40th hour, civilization was no more. All cities across the world were damaged or destroyed. Only 4 major companies (all are AI, robots, and biochemistry conglomerates) survived and each of them became their own "Countries of Royalty". The wealthy walled up what was left of their local cities, while the poor had to adapt to the new wild. Due to limited resources, the remaining governments across the globe formed into a one world government, known as OWL (One World Legion). They are less powerful than any of the "major 4" and only really protect the walls and the limits between them. All life outside of the wall must fend for themselves. Our walled city, District 3, is what is left of Manhattan. From Times Square to the waters in the east, west, and south is walled off with one hundred stories of concrete and rebar. [[Approaching the north wall's exit]]

The neon sign tells us that we are approaching the north wall of NY District 3. The car stops at the security booth. The OWL solder greets your father by his last name and ask if he would like some escorts. As always, he declines. They ask him how long he will be outside the walls for, and he tells them just a few hours. They attach a GPS device, that is equipped with 360 cameras and mics, to the top of the car. [[Exit NY D3]]

The north wall of NY D3 is the only one that has land on the other side, as all the others are bordered by water. Due to all the debris of destroyed vehicles and buildings, one can only travel on foot or horseback (natural or robot). Your father tells the car to go into hover mode. You take in the scenery as you hover over the new wild. The outside of the city walls is patrolled and monitored by humans and robots. The walls themselves, have large 50 mm cannons separated every 50 feet at the top. A lot of the buildings in the new wild are damaged or destroyed. There are some that stand solid and untouched. Trees and fauna shade a portion of the grey to green. Dead bodies and skeletons are sprinkled around, from the ground all the way to the roofs. You'll see movement of either animals or humans from time to time. The new wild is Mother Nature rebuilding with the rubble of man. Out here, there are no lights and screens, just debris and nature.

You begin to descend in Central Park. From above, it looks like the heart of mother nature because of all the greenery smack in the center of a city of grey. The growing fauna that extends from the park resemble arteries as they stretch out into the rubble. You roll up to a 20-foot wooden gate with 30-foot watchtowers on both sides. Welcome to Seneca Village Outpost. Someone in one of the towers spots you and gives a holler to someone below him. Moments later the gate begins a slow swing. [[Enter Seneca Village Outpost]]

As your father car rolls into town, people sing and cheer alongside the car. We are greeted by the outpost's spokesperson, Elizabeth. She gives you and your father a tour of the town and shows him what has improved since his last visit. The tour ends at the school my father recently built. We set up shop and pass out food, water, and clothes. A tap on your shoulder causes you to turn around. It's your father with the chief of the outpost, a man he introduces as Enrique. You reach your hand out to greet him and you freeze. The only thing that keeps moving are your eyes, as they grow large. IT'S THE CHIEF FROM SurviveVR!! Your father asks if you're okay. [[Analyze further to make sure]] [[Say something to your father]] [[Say something to Enrique]]

You recognize his build, remember his face with the scar to match, and the look of his eyes. (if: $hurt is true)[You even notice the bandages wrapped on his shoulder you shot.]\ Yup, no mistaking it. It's him. [[Say something to your father]] [[Say something to Enrique]]

You pull Tuda to the side and tell him all about your SurviveVR experience. He listens carefully and then asks you if you're sure it's him. You tell him that your 100% sure. He tells you that he'll approach Enrique with you and to allow him to do all the talking. You agree. Tuda explains it all, from what SurviveVR is and how you were playing it earlier. He slowly explains that you recognized him from what you thought was just a video game. Enrique breaks his silence by advising us that the teenage girl that was taken, is his daughter. He then tells us that he dragged "your" body back here to the outpost. [[Request to look at body]] [[Vow to save his daughter]]

You pull the chief to the side and ask him if he was involved in a gunfight. He looks at you confused and figures you noticed because of the bandage. You tell him the number of his men you killed and mention a girl being taken. His smile turns into a sharp n. He grabs you by your neck and tells your father to come here. He tells your father that you just admitted to the murder of his men and the kidnapping of his daughter. After much back and forth, the best deal Tuda, your father, could work out is guaranteeing your safety until his daughter is returned. That just means your going to live a comfortable life as a prisoner because Andrew is only a friend in the video game. That does you no good in real life. [[Spawn in]]

You stand over the body and recognize the clothes you had on in the game. You tell your father that this was your character in the game. He decides to take the body back into D3, so he can have his scientist examine it. He gets two men to help him and makes his way to the car with the body. (set: $body to true)\ [[Vow to save his daughter]]

You look him in his eyes and promise that you will give it your all to right this wrong. He shakes your hand. You tell him when and where to meet you. You also show him the signal you will make with your hand, so he knows your avatar is you. [[Meet Enrique in SurviveVR]]

You meet the chief of Seneca at the agreed location. You flash the hand sign, and he nods in return. You tell him your SurviveVR character is good as far as food, water, and gear. You just have to search for a walkie-talkie to communicate with Andrew. He pulls one out of his bag and tells you he took it off your last "person".

"Andrew come in, come in Andrew." "Jacob! I haven't seen you since our last scrummage with those bloody savages." You look at Enrique and let out a nervous chuckle. He spits on the floor and stays silent. "I know, the big, scary, respectable looking fella killed me." "The chief, that animal looks like a killer." You give Enrique a quick side eye. "So, where are you now?" "I'm ... in... Polana." "Copy. That'll take me about ten minutes to get there." "Cool, I’ll just search around here. See what I find." "On my way."

You walk side by side with the "savage", in hopes of showing peace can be achieved. You both trek through the woods for about 10 minutes before coming out of the tree line. Halfway through the field blood splashes on the left side of your face. You look to your left and see Enrique's lifeless body collapsing as a shot ring off in the distance. You begin to sprint but feel the force of a Mack truck collide with your lower jaw. You fall to the ground in a downpour of red as it goes dark. Your dead. [[Spawn in]]

You tell him to trial you lightly. You troop for 10 minutes through the woods before walking out the tree line. You can see the town ahead of you and walk towards it. In town, you search for Andrew as you call him on the walkie-talkie. No answer. BOOM! A thunderous gunshot causes you to roll behind a car. You hear laughter as you pick your self up. It's Andrew in the church's tower with a sniper rifle. He tells you he's on his way down. You two meet in front of the church. He jokes about how you leaped like a frog. You come out and ask him about the savage girl he took as a hostage. He tells you that he's still waiting for the chief to come looking for her.

You explain to him how you met the "savage" chief in real life and how this SurviveVR "game" is killing real people. You get to the part where his hostage is the chief's daughter before Andrew swings a haymaker at your head. You duck, back up, and wip out a Colt 1911 from your waistband. You put one in the head and aim. Andrew is already running for cover. BOOM. Smoke and shards fly off a concrete roadblock barrier that he dives behind. You see a car to your left and sidestep towards it as you keep your gun aimed in his direction. You see a flash of a hand over the barrier releasing something that is now coming towards you. Grenade! (set: $thirst to it - 1)\ (set: $hunger to it - 1)\ (set: $warm to it - 1)\ <hr> (display: "Survivor vitals")\ <hr> (display: "Inventory")\ <hr> [[Shoot it]] [[Run!]]

You lie and tell him the game has a promotion for triple the experience points. He bites right away. You explain that for 12 hours, you get three times the points if you return royal hostages. You even come up with a name for it, "peace of the 12 tribes". Without hesitation he leads you to where Enrique's daughter is. When he brings her out, something takes your breath away. That something is her beauty. Andrew brings you back to reality by telling you to close your mouth. He then you where he had to take her for his points. It takes you some time to gather your thoughts. It's hard to think when your heart is beating so loud. He says forget it he'll check himself. You see the menu icon pop over his head, and you wake up from your daydream. You run to Enrique's daughter, grab her hand, and begin to run towards the trees. Andrew comes out of the menu yelling about you lying. He sees you in the distance and raises his sniper rifle to his eye as he drops to a knee. He takes a deep breath in. Boom. (set: $thirst to it - 1)\ (set: $hunger to it - 1)\ (set: $warm to it - 1)\ <hr> (display: "Survivor vitals")\ <hr> (display: "Inventory")\ <hr> [[Cover her]] [[Push her to the floor]]

Without hesitation you aim and shoot. BOOOOOM! The explosion is close enough to throw you into the car a few feet behind you. Your back slams against the driver side door. You jump up and it goes dark. Your dead. [[Respawn]]

You turn and run but the explosion engulfs you. Your dead. [[Respawn]]

You respawn in an open field. In a panic, you glance from right to left. You stop and take a deep breath. Then, you hear a campfire burning nearby. (set: $hunger = 5)\ (set: $thirst = 3)\ (set: $water to false)\ (set: $waterBottle to false)\ (set: $LGun to false)\ (set: $gun to false)\ (set: $bullets to false)\ (set: $warm = 6)\ (set: $jacket to false)\ (set: $pants to false)\ (set: $knife to false)\ (set: $canFood to false)\ (set: $openedCan to false)\ (set: $hurt to false)\ <hr> (display: "Survivor vitals")\ <hr> (display: "Inventory")\ <hr> [[Hurry and run to where you died]] [[Run towards the campfire]]

You shield her at the same time the bullet rips into the back of your shoulder. It has enough force to drop the both of you. You roll over slowly and notice the bullet wound in her head. You begin to get up but a foot to your chin tells you otherwise. With a blurred double vision, you stare up at Andrew. He has his sniper aimed at your face. His head jerks as it portrays a ketchup packet that has been stepped on. His head hits the floor before his feet finally lift and follow. Enrique walks up and picks up his daughter's lifeless body. Without looking at you, he thanks you and begins to walk away. You yell and vow to him that you will find a way to end this even if it means your own life. He doesn't bother to stop nor turn around as he says, "actions speak louder than words".

You push her to the floor and dive at the same time. The shot rips through the back of your shoulder and sends a stream of red out the other side. You drop on the floor as you grab the wound. You get up but receive the butt of his sniper rifle to your nose and go crashing down. He stands over you as he aims his sniper at your head. At the same time that he grins, you hear a hard knock. His body tumbles towards you as you roll out the way. You look over to him to see him face first in the grass, with Enrique's daughter sitting on his back holding up a large rock with a bloodstain on it. She brings it down on the back of his head. You lose count after the third time. She still going by the time Enrique comes and stops her with a hug. He introduces the two of you. Her name is Alani. You and Enrique vow to end this "game" and to liberate the people of the land.

Thank you for taking the time to play SurviveVR. I hope you enjoyed it and look forward to hearing your feedback. Note: If your story ended with END? instead of THE END, then you discovered an alternate ending. The original ending ends with THE END. [[Spawn in]]

You jet into the direction that you just died in. You have no time to waste and decide not to stop for loot. (set: $thirst to it - 1)\ (set: $hunger to it - 1)\ (set: $warm to it - 1)\ <hr> (display: "Survivor vitals")\ <hr> (display: "Inventory")\ <hr> [[Run to where you died]]

You run to campfire to see if you get lucky. You can smell the meat cooking as you get closer. You spot a geared player cooking his food.

You walk up to him as you ask him for some food. He stands up, raises his gun, and shoots you dead. Your dead [[Spawn in]]

You pick up a large rock and dash towards the man. He goes to stand up but is met with the rock. His knees buckle as he drops sideways. You give him a few more for good measure. You put on all his gear, eat his food, drink his water, and arm yourself with a M16. Suddenly, you hear gunshots in the not too far distance, but they're not coming from where you died.

You sprint towards the shots. You enter a town as you start to doubt if you went the right way. Then, you hear a scream close by. You turn the corner and see Andrew standing on top of Enrique, who has both his hands up. Enrique's daughter watches in horror as Andrew aims his gun to at her father's face. Without thinking you lift the M16, aim, and fire. The burst rounds send three shots into Andrew. Starting from his shoulder, one in his neck, and the last one to the temple. He dies before hitting the ground. You walk up to Enrique and his daughter hugging. He introduces you to his daughter, Alani. Enrique and you vow to end this "game" and to liberate the people of the land.

You get to the location of your death and spot your naked corpse. You search around but can't locate anyone. Suddenly, a loud scream can be heard not too far away. You run towards it. You get to the location of the scream to find both Enrique and his daughter dead. You search around, but Andrew is nowhere to be found.

You log off the game. You stare at the VR headset as you think back on the vow you made. Your father walks in and startles you. His scientist completed the study of the body. It is "human" except for a microcomputer built inside the brain. The coders and technicians reversed engineered what they could salvage. "The Characters" are organic humans. It seems when a player logs in, they take over the body of a character through the supercomputer. When the player logs off, the character is given coordinates and set on pilot mode. They're still working on getting the last coordinates given to this particular character. Tuda did some research on his own and heard rumors of The Major Four in competition for natural resources. He believes, this may just be Tri-Tech attempt to take some. What they're taking, is still unknown. Also, what are the other companies doing? You look at him with a smirk, "looks like we have work to do". THE END [[Thank you from the author]]
