The soft tune of the jazz played in the air.
A man stood before Darwin, his eyes locked onto him as he smiled.
"...I'd like to check in."
He repeated, causing Darwin to flinch.
"Uh, ah..."
He looked around. The touch, the smell, even the sights around him, all of it felt disturbingly real. So real, in fact, that it sent a chill crawling down his spine.
The chat also felt the same way.
—Holy crap! What are these graphics?
—The configurations are unreal. Wtf?? I can literally smell the lavender.
—Even the touch of the marble desk feels real.
—The hell??
Such reactions drew the attention of those who hadn't yet put on their headsets, curiosity pushing them to try it for themselves. Many had been skeptical at first, assuming the chat was exaggerating, but the moment they slipped the headset on and felt the world around them, they all swore in disbelief.
'Holy fuck!?'
'This is actually insane!'
'What the hell!? This actually feels like a high-quality game!'
