An older man with greying hair removed a device from his head, and stared at a blank screen in front of him. He set the device on a table, then removed some unusual gloves from his hands. The man stood from his chair, and moved to a small table in the corner, picking up a picture of a young girl. It bore a striking resemblance to the Magi that was with her Amagnae. A single tear rolled down the man's cheek. "I know you're not her," the man mumbled to himself, "But I wish we could be together always too...If only I didn't have to work." Glancing at a clock on the wall the man let out a sigh, and set the picture back on the table. With a glum look on his face the man headed for the door. "Don't worry," he assured no one, "I will be back before you know it." With great speed and efficiency the man put on a suit, and made himself some toast and coffee which he quickly scarfed down. The man exited his room, into a long hallway with many doors. Descending a long staircase he arrived at yet another door, that lead out onto a busy urban street. The weather was gloomy, with clouds dotting an unclear, smoggy sky. His journey continued as he got on a bus, which quickly ferried him to his station. With one final short walk, he arrived at a very large office building. He gave a greeting to a receptionist as he made his way onto an elevator, then onto the floor where he worked. "Hey Jim, I'm gonna need that new sales report by the end of the day, if that's possible?" A coworker asked. "Sure thing Bob," the man replied, somewhat subdued, "Sure thing." The man got to work, although the only thing on his mind was his own little slice of a VR world.
Spoiler
The game he was playing was actually just a heavily modded version of the 2050 release of "Skyrim VR: The Super Final (For Realises) MegaLegendary Edition 7: This Time It's Finaler (featuring Dante from The Devil May Cry series &&Knucles)"
