Dorothy never cared much for the real world—it was too dull, too predictable, too full of rules she didn’t want to follow. But in the hyper-immersive landscapes of VR, she was a legend. A prodigy with god-tier reflexes and an uncanny ability to outthink AI, she climbed the ranks of competitive virtual combat, puzzle-solving, and high-stakes digital heists. But something changed. While playing “Emerald Nexus”—a next-gen neural VR experiment— she discovered a hidden layer of the game, something the developers never intended for anyone to see. Now, she’s trapped between reality and simulation, glitching in and out of different virtual realms, hunting for answers while avoiding the corporate enforcers who want her permanently logged out. Some say she’s just a gamer who pushed too far. Others believe she’s found the key to the first true metaverse. But Dorothy? She just wants to see how deep the game really goes.
