In a worn-down apartment in an old city of India, a young man lay motionless on a bed.
Cracks ran along the walls, and scattered across the floor were hospital bills—some crumpled, some torn… and some so overwhelming that just looking at the amounts made one's heart sink.
The boy's name was Raghav.
Just a few months ago, his life had been completely normal…
He had gone out with his parents for a trip.
But one accident destroyed everything.
The crash was so devastating that his parents died on the spot…
And Raghav—
He survived, but incomplete.
His entire body had become useless. Now, he could only move his hands and neck.
The rest of his body… felt like it no longer belonged to him.
Lying on the bed, he stared at the ceiling.
For a moment, a thought crossed his mind—
It would've been better if I had died too…
But the very next second, a face appeared in his mind.
His younger sister—Mangna.
She was now his entire world.
Mangna was a high school student.
Studying during the day, and working part-time at a beauty parlor in the evening—
that had become her daily routine.
Even after earning five thousand dollars a month, almost nothing was left.
Fifteen hundred dollars went into her education…
Five hundred dollars for rent…
And the rest was spent on Raghav's medicines.
Their parents hadn't left behind much money.
Now this home… these responsibilities…
everything rested on the shoulders of a fragile young girl.
Raghav's eyes filled with tears.
He wanted to do something for his sister…
But he couldn't even stand on his own.
Just then, his gaze shifted to the television screen.
A flashy advertisement was playing—
"Marcus…"
"A world where you can write your own destiny."
On the screen appeared a massive, futuristic planet—
Where humans, strange creatures, and beings from different worlds coexisted.
"Advanced VR technology…"
"Neural sync system…"
"Earn while you play…"
The words echoed in Raghav's mind.
Earn…?
For the first time, a spark lit up in his eyes.
He quickly picked up his phone and checked his account.
Fifty thousand dollars.
The last emergency savings left behind by his parents.
His hand paused for a moment.
Is this the right decision…?
But then he thought about Mangna—
Her tired eyes…
Her forced smile…
And without overthinking, he ordered the VR headset.
It cost twelve thousand dollars.
It was delivered by evening.
The door opened, and Mangna walked in.
Seeing the package, she asked in surprise,
"Bhaiya… what did you order?"
Raghav smiled faintly.
"Maybe… a chance to change our lives."
Mangna fell silent for a moment.
Tears welled up in her eyes.
She couldn't bear to see her brother in this condition…
But today—
For the first time, she saw hope in his eyes.
"Alright, Bhaiya…" she said softly,
"I'll set it up for you."
She set up the VR headset and then fed him dinner.
Excitement was clearly visible in Raghav's eyes now.
Mangna watched him quietly…
And prayed in her heart—
Maybe this game will change his life.
After finishing his meal…
Raghav slowly picked up the VR headset.
His fingers trembled slightly.
His heartbeat sped up.
There was fear…
But even more than that, there was hope.
Taking a deep breath, he put it on.
The next moment—
Darkness.
Then a sudden flash of light.
A deep, echoing voice rang out—
"Welcome to Marcus…"
And in that very instant—
Raghav felt something.
Movement… in his legs.As soon as they enter, a trace panel opens in front of them. This panel displays different "jobs." A job is a type of role or character in which the player chooses what they want to do according to their preference.
