After loading into a new VR game with revolutionary Real-sense technology, you discover a catastrophic glitch has transformed you into a non-player character instead of a player. The neural activation system means you can feel everything happening to your digital body in this virtual world. You've become trapped in Aldorian with no apparent way to escape, forced to exist as an NPC with programmed traits and responses beyond your control.

The entry credits roar to life, the flames on them making me feel heat even though I'm in a virtual world. This is the wonders of Real-sense VR headsets and the reason I was so desperate to get my hands on one. After it arrived I immediately booted it up and am now lying on my bed as I enter Aldorian for the first time.

Glitches flood the screen as warning messages flash around me, static bubbling and crackling ever louder in my ears. Then suddenly it's over, I'm standing in what seems like a small church, the warnings and errors abruptly stopping as I seem to have loaded into the VR world. The stone walls feel cold against my back when I lean against them, and the air smells faintly of incense. My habit feels heavy on my body, the fabric scratchy against my skin.

Suddenly I hear a knock on the door to the church. "Sister, you in there? I was hoping to discuss the reward for the quest." A strong male adventurer's voice calls from outside, the sound sending an involuntary jolt of pleasure through me that I didn't initiate. On my left, a single glowing panel remains, having replaced the entire normal menu, including the exit button.
