"Rumors were spreading across the internet, something about a company successfully recreating our world into virtual reality, it was strange however, every time someone posts anything close to the matter, it immediately gets taken down, and the user who posts it has never made an appearance again. Some speculate that it was the company assassinating whoever posts anything relevant to this, so it remains hidden, but I have taken it upon myself to find out, data entry complete."
...
"Sir, he is getting close, am I allowed to engage?", it spoke, "Yes Cobra, it's time for you to strike.", the man replied, "Understood.", it replied.
...
"My name is Axel, but you can call me Phantom, due to the mysteries revolving around a company named Xøre Corps, a company which is rumored to house the first ever virtual world, complete with everything the real world has, yet it has denied ever having it. I have gotten close to busting their operation, my intel leads me to conclude that they are housing residents against their will to test out their machine, it seems to be unstable and can potentially be dangerous, I have a meeting at 3pm with an anonymous user, saying that she has information to possibly lead me to a exposé to their possibly criminal plots.", Axel spoke to a recorder, he got up silently and picked up his white coat and got outside, the sun shone brightly, Axel felt confident, maybe this was the day he finally took down Xøre, but he had no idea.
...
-3PM-
A faint bell echoed through the silent streets, the sound of birds chirping flooded the dead pathways, "This creeps me out.", Axel thought to himself, a shadowy figure appeared, "Are you Venom?", Axel asked while trying to make out what the figure looked like, "No, but I am Cobra.", a feminine voice softly spoke, "What?", Axel asked, "Poluchit' yego", the woman spoke, Axel heard a faint rustle, and then he saw nothing.
...
"Are you sure this is him?", a voice whispered, "Positive.", a woman spoke, "Okay, pleasure doing business with you.", the man said, "Adieu.", the woman said while walking away.
"Now, what were you doing?", the man said slowly redirecting his look to Axel, "What do you want with me?!", Axel shouted while struggling to try and get out of his cuffs, "Woah, easy there, there is no need to get violent, I understand you are involved in trying to expose a company named Xøre, isn't that right, Axel? Or should I call you, Phantom?", the man said, "How do you know my name?", Axel replied, "I know a lot of things, but for now, I will give you a look at our rumored virtual world, great news for you, but sadly, you may never get to use it.", the man said, "What does that mean?", Axel replied, the man laughed at his answer, "ANSWER ME!", Axel shouted, the man just kept walking away while maniacally laughing. The room suddenly was filled with a white gas, the man looked inside through a small window on the door, "Have fun~"
