Chapter 36: Your arguments won’t hold on to courts
Aric was too excited to stop himself and entered the cabin. His heart pounded with a mixture of excitement and trepidation. He had heard and read tales of the wonders that awaited within these virtual realms in his research for the past few days, but nothing could prepare him for the reality that was about to unfold before his eyes.
He was more excited than the time he had committed a massacre. The cabin door hissed shut behind him, enclosing him in darkness. Slowly, the darkness began to recede, replaced by a soft glow emanating from the walls.
Suddenly, the walls dissolved into a vast expanse of stars, stretching out in all directions as far as the eye could see. Nebulas shimmered in the distance, casting an ethereal glow across the cosmic landscape. Aric felt a surge of awe wash over him as he realized he was standing at the threshold of an entire universe contained within this small cabin.
"What a great way to introduce and reel people in, in the first experience," Aric thought to himself, giving the introduction a 10/10 grade.
"Welcome, Aric More, on your first time in the VR cabin of Sat VR technologies. Would you like your personal AI to connect you here?"
Suddenly, Aric heard an AI voice speaking to him as he saw the stars whizzing by at incredible speed.
"Yes, connect with the AI of my communicator," Aric gave permission.
"Thank you. Your personal AI, Apis, will now take over and help you in your journey. May your stay in the VR cabin be joyful and filled with adventures. We have hyper-realistic games, offices, playgrounds, and all sorts of recreational activities. You will get a bunch of them free if you subscribe for 500 Sora credits per month (based on time units). If you have any complaints, you can contact our help desk, and you will have someone to address your concerns and problems with the VR experience, both hardware and software. Please note that this is the basic-level cabin, and thus there is no supply of nutrition in your body, so it is advised that you take in supplements and food at the required times." The AI voice spoke for the last time in its voice.
Aric finally had an idea of why it was the basic-level VR cabin and what might be the differences in costlier cabins. It was good for Aric as he wouldn’t like to be in a virtual cabin all day. He had his real world to take care of at the moment.
