He was supposed to be an elite. Genetically modified to be superior in every way. But that was hardly how he felt.
How can he do nothing right?
A failure, a disappointment.
Why couldn't he be more like his brother? Perfect, popular, wanted.
He runs away. Runs away from reality runs away from who he was, runs away from the people who he cares for. He didn't want to disappoint them, not again.
If only… If only he could be someone else.
The Spire could do that. Even if it was just a dream, in there he could be someone else, someone who didn't disappoint.
There were already stories of it, after all, people learning skills in the game (though slight) could sometimes improve on them in real life too.
Maybe… Maybe he could learn to become a better person?

Author's Note:
This is a Dark Fantasy, Action Adventure set inside a VR world. Though the VR world takes a large part of the story the scenes outside of it give it meaning. There's more to both worlds than what can be first seen.
The real world is set in a futuristic scene, full of conflict under a layer of peace. VR technology is in widespread use, present in every business, every household, more than in just the gaming sector. Specifically, the ability to accelerate mental processes in a pseudo dream world allows for more efficient businesses with Virtual offices and other platforms.
This is all about relationships.
Heavy contents of drama and tragedy (cuz I wanna make 'em suffer lololol)
