Virtual Reality

S1 E2: Creation

Dan was lying back up on a bed in a bedroom. The bedroom was fairly small. There was a desk with a gaming computer, a mahogany wood dresser, a hanging bookshelf above the computer, a large metal bed with puffy pillows and a red blanket on top. Morning sunlight was beaming through a window with opened silk curtains. Know Your Enemy by Rage Against the Machine was playing through a phone that Dan was holding.

Dan had the Guilded group chat he made yesterday focused on his phone.

'Anyone awake yet?' Dan sent into the group chat.

Corey started typing and after ten seconds he sent 'Your up early too eh?'.

'I couldn't sleep, I have plans on what to do next in our virtual reality world, and it's gonna be huge haha!' Dan replied.

Nia started typing and sent 'bruh its 5 in da morn guys'.

'We know. It's never to early to plan though. I wasn't tired anyways haha. Might've been the seven beers I had after dinner.' Dan replied.

'How da hell do u type after drinking that much' Nia sent.

'Moderation, Nia.' Dan replied.

'7 beers aint moderation' Nia replied at Dan.

'Beers aren't that alcoholic. I could probably intake seven Bud Lights without getting drunk. Now if it were vodka instead of beer, yeah that wouldn't be moderation. Most people can't intake two shots of vodka without getting drunk.' Corey sent.

Dan started typing.

'Hey guys, so we're up. How about we get a head start on what we have planned for today in our virtual reality world?'

'Why not.' Corey replied 'BRB, getting my suit on.'

Dan stuck his phone in his jacket pocket. He then got off the bed and pulled out his VR suit and his VR headset from beneath. He slipped inside of the VR suit, sat on the bed, and put his VR headset on.

Dan was back in the purple grid world of the virtual reality and he was now a gray fox again.

"Let's make this look more realistic." he said.

He pulled out his phone from his avatar's ripped black pants, turned it on, and opened admin tools.

The admin tools had multiple options. They were environment editor, character creator, no limit build mode, and misc tools.

He selected environment editor which brought up lots of boxes of different options. There were options to change the ground, and terrain features, change the sky, and even settings for weather!

He selected ground settings which gave lots of assets to change how the ground looks. He selected a bright green grass. He was given the option to set a small area or the whole world. He selected the whole world, and the ground that looked like an endless void was now a lush green ground. He pressed back and then opened the sky settings which was done just like the ground settings. He scrolled to where there was an option to upload a custom image. He uploaded a picture of his human form staring menacingly at the viewer. He pressed back opened weather options, enabled weather cycle, and set the weather to clear even though it already was clear. He also enabled the day and night cycle as well.

Corey's and Nia's avatars magically appeared in front of DWS as if they came out of thin air.

"I should make effects for when players log into the world." Dan said to himself.

Nia looked up to the sky and barked "Jeez! Remind me to never look up into the sky in a virtual reality video game."

"Haha, that's just a placeholder." Dan replied ecstatically.
