Mickey Belcot was a normal community college-going guy when, one day, a strange card literally falls right in front of him. A few lines catch his attention.

[Be Bold Trailblazer!] 
[Step Into The Hidden World! The Truest World Is A Portal Away!]
[Play The Game And EARN The Chance For FABULOUS CASH PRIZES!!!]

Mickey's a guy that could really use any extra money so, curious, he checks out the game.

It's a fully fleshed-out VRMMO. A type of game that Mickey only thought could exist in fiction.

Mickey's interested. He wants to play. There's one big catch however, the game requires a special headset.

Life happens. He has to go visit his sick relative for the afternoon, but when he returns home, waiting for him is a package.

It seems that the Hidden World is eager for him to play the game
