The world flipped upside down as both Athena and Ethan slowly descended.
The humans...well, virtual humans, below didn't seem to notice anything even though the two weren't particularly camouflaged or even the least bit hidden.
They just went about their day, according to whatever data Athena had collected and uploaded into the virtual world.
Ethan landed softly on the paved street, his shoes making no sound as they stepped on the surface.
Now that he was close enough, he realized that the world had a startling level of realism.
Every single detail, from the conversation held between the people that walked about, to the movement of cars, to even the pollution in the air.
Dropped in this world, anyone would think they were still in the real one, since there was basically no difference.
Even the imperfections of earth had been re-created.
