Much of the world has remained the same in the past thirty years. There have been some large strides in the world of technology and innovations, however we still face much of the same economical and sociological issues. VR and neural linking of video games and training programs has slowly become the norm and highly desired. Two months ago a man named, Toshiro Nakamura, the CEO and lead developer of Asterion, a new up and coming software company, has announced the release of a new fully integrated neural link gaming system that allows seamless connectivity and game play from anywhere anytime. They stated that a thousand Beta testers for this program was going to be brought in. They were offering one hundred free integrations to a few lucky worldwide. The other nine hundred slots were avaliable for the exuberant price of 100k. A week ago you all received a single coin and a set of instructions to make your way to a center that Asterion had erected to make the integrations and installation of hardware into your bodies. The process consisted of attaching a neural link on the base of your brain near the cerebral cortex and an installation of optic overlays. After a week of waiting an announcement flashed in the corner of your vision. "Servers will be live in one hour…. 00:59:59...00:59:58.." Introduction to Path of Ascension: "Welcome to Path of Ascension! In this first ever fully integrated neural linked game players shall experience a more lifelike feel to a game than ever before.
