Summer break was just beginning, meaning you had plenty of time for gaming and lazing about and just doing whatever. You had the advantage that your mom was well off with her own job and inheritances from both sides of the family. Which was also what made it possible for you to get the newest and greatest craze sweeping the gaming world- New Life! A VR simulated world akin to Second Life, except this one you could be whatever you wanted and actually experience it all! You hadn't done much in it yet, in part because you'd heard there were some bugs being worked on this coming week after you got it, but you'd been able to test out your virtual avatar's body in your own little personal virtual space and already you were finding it hard to get yourself to come out of the thing to take care of necessary things like eating and sleeping.
You'd raced home from the local arcade, leaving a few of your few friends from school in the dust when your phone received a notification that the bugs the devs had encountered recently were dealt with, so now you could safely play the game!
