I pull on the headset, it's metal frame surrounding my skull, adapting to the shape of my head perfectly, like it's supposed to. These headsets are expensive, it took me months to save up for it. It's worth it. The device allows me to immerse myself in the game, to be a part of the action whilst remaining unhurt. I've used it on every game I own. Not this one. This one is new. It's called Archangel. People have been queuing up for days to buy this game. My father got me a special copy. I can feel the headset whirring, hear the sounds of it starting up. Then I'm falling.
I land lightly, standing in the centre of a square full of other gamers, people are trying to leave but they are stuck. I guess that it's because the main quest will be introduced here. I look around me, observing my environment. This is the centre of the first town on the game. It's called Halfholme, according to the guidebook. A sprawling centre of poverty and opulence mixed into one. This is the basic town of the game.
Then it happens. The voice calls down to us from the sky "Welcome, Gamers, to the city of Halfholme. This city will be the start of an adventure you will never know the like of again. My name is Gabriel, I am the Game Master of this adventure. Archangel is no mere MMORPG. It is life and death. Any one of you who stand here beneath me could clear this game. At the same time any of you could perish, and dying in this game will cause you to die in real life too!" There is a gasp from around the square "upon clearing the game all living participants will be returned alive. Good luck, my friends" the voice stops and the square goes silent
