The current year is 430 N.A. (New Age). The date had reset, signalling a complete break from all previous real world systems and a technological revolution as agreed to by almost everyone in 3000 A.D.

With these amazing technological advances we were able to change the Earth's shape, affect the weather patterns (Galactic and Earth), explore space and beyond, end all hunger, and hold the power of creating and ending life; like Gods.

Life was controlled by a machine that people arrived at to receive their offspring. Death was required once you had reached the age of 100

What came along with the discoveries of the tech age was the AI. Many Artifical Intelligences were created to govern the advanced world. Of these many AIs the most important is no doubt the AI called Aurora. Aurora was used to host the ultimate system that ended all death from war and real world conflict.

The ultimate system came in the form of a game, Heaven's Reach, which ultimately enabled world peace and a new look on how to end all conflicts. Heaven's Reach become so deeply entrenched that people essentially lived their lives inside the game. The game was also the main reason that the New age had began, separating the real world and a world where people could do as they pleased.

Eventually countries were so involved in Heaven's Reach that they officially made the world of Heaven's Reach "A world".

Thus the planet of Heaven's Reach become a real world that was nearly 1500x the size of Earth and the largest of all planets known to man at the time.

The game world that was governed by Aurora gave all players a chance to become bigger and better in the world, to rule, to create, to love, to govern, to leisurely fish, to kill, to steal, to rape, to prostitute or nearly anything that you wanted to do.

The reasoning behind this was behind the fact that all crime rates in the Earth and the other non-digital colonized planets in the real world became 0%. Psychologists and scientisists realized that the only way for their to be good was for their to be evil also.

Thus they decided that all people should fuel their aggression into something else. This needed outlet was Heaven's Reach.

With no crime rate the real world became more and more mundane and bleak. The real world contained no strife or conflict. No jobs to be taken.

Everything in the real world was uniformly ruled and governed to the point that even sexual reproduction was an unneeded action.

And thus, Heaven's Reach became a game that everyone played to fulfill what they wanted to do in life. Whether it was to become the strongest, or simply fish in a secluded corner of the wide planet.

Heaven's Reach is played through a capsule that was issued to everyone when they are born into the world through a "birthing tube" (the machine that made your baby and everything else).

The game wasn't allowed to be played until the child was "of age" which is around 6 years old. You could also choose not to join until a later date.

Once in Heaven's Reach, the AI, Aurora, will guide you through the needed steps to become a complete denizen of Heaven's Reach.

1. Choose your race from the following 148 current races (races expand as more races are discovered throughout Heaven's Reach.)

2. Choose your spawn point. (dependent on which race you belong to)

3. Choose your class from the following 2458 current classes. (Classes will expand as more classes are discovered throughout Heaven's Reach) (Please note that some classes will be dependent on your race)

4. Choose your sub-class from the following 2458 current classes. (Sub-classes are dictated by the amount of current classes available and will give you additional stats that are less than the original class and open up possible new abilities depending on your luck and knowledge) (Please note that some classes will be dependent on your race)

5. Choose your stat distributions and analyze your stat increases of your current selected race, class, and sub-class.

6. Choose your starter abilities

7. Choose well as you only get one chance to choose your race. Don't regret your currentl selected classes and stat distributions as nothing will be refunded.

8. Good luck on your path in Heaven's Reach!

Upon entering the game you will realize that the colors are vibrant, as compared to the metal cubicles in the real world, and everything is spacious and un-uniform (of course all depending on whichever race you started as). As you go into the game a little bit further, you realize that the game is set in a period of the long, long past. An age where only the library AI could ever fully explain to you. You then proceed to fulfill what you believe to be your true calling and possibly one day reach your own Heaven's Reach.

I laughed as I did my normal routine with the 136,253,226th new Heaven's Reach resident of the day. I once again summarized a poorly written introduction and history of the game and sent another biological being into the game on my 452nd birthday. Hooray to me, Aurora.
