The World of Tactics

Prologue: The End

A new era had arisen and a futuristic fandom began from the small upstart of retro gaming. From that, it took shape for the era of virtual reality development. It was known by every single gamer as VRD and now the true game has been released. It is now the era of VRO, much better known as virtual reality online, where true artificial intelligence has been created by the great OJ, best known as Old Jeng.

However, this story takes place under a much deeper, yet simple idea of parallelism. John Smith is an average day-to-day college student from an average college with anything but average. He may seem average, but his gaming skills are slightly above average.

The first and only true virtual reality game was released. As one of the first few early birds, he was able to get his hand on one of the gaming helmet consoles. The console was just as big as a motorcycle helmet. Just as flashy and just as full of complicated interior and exterior parts.

It was such a beautiful day and yet such a day was ruined by the concentrated hovering pods (previously known as cars) and hovering cargoes (previously known as trucks) honking and honking in the airspace. The sky is full of such transportation. How could there not have been any accidents? The craze for a true virtual reality was real and the very first accident occurred roughly twenty minutes later.

John Smith was just on his way home in his flying pod at an evenly controlled speed. He was deftly bypassing the congregations of the other hovering pods. He was out of the congregation and was, like, a mile away from the crowds. It was then, that a hovering cargo (flying truck) just happened to run straight into his position.

The hovering cargo's speed was way too fast and John Smith could only curse in his mind while he had to do an EAE, emergency air evasion. Even with the EAE, the hovering cargo still smashed the left side of his hovering pod.

The moment both sides touch each other, the momentum of both sides creates an impact on each other. And so, John Smith has received the end of the stick while the hovering cargo was barely impacted by the crash of the two.

The last thing John Smith could hear was, "EI activated! EI activated! EI activated!" The last thing he could think of was, "Emergency impact activated!" "My VR helmet broke!" and "F---" before his conscious shut down completely.
