《Dragon's Roar》World Building

AN: Guys this is my first time writing anything and i'm looking for feedback on my work. Critics are most welcome and i will improve my writing as i move forward
The year is 2250. The world’s technology has grown in leaps and bounds since the genetic revolution in 2080. On the day of 21st September 2080 scientists successfully decoded the DNA of a rat.
Now this may not seem as a major development but this was the successful first step in actual DNA Engineering.
Taking the data obtained by the rat’s DNA the scientists kept moving onto higher life forms and decoding their DNA until finally on 12th November 2090 the human DNA was successfully decoded.
This led to the emergence of DNA computing/bio computing. The generation where ssd and hdd were used to store data and processors made of silicon came to an end. People started using bio memory chips and bio processors, which were the result of combining DNA engineering with electronics and computer science.
Supercomputers were reduced to the size of a cell phone and communication became almost instantaneous at 1Tb/s.
Here is a fact that was not fully understood until that point in time. Only 20% of a human’s DNA is unique to humans.
The rest of 80% has many DNA fragments that are in common with other life forms, like the chimpanzee. In other words keeping the core 20% of DNA intact and altering the remaining 80% will still be in the homo genus. This led to people loosening their morals and start experimenting on humans.
Sadly it produced more disasters than good results. Thus DNA tampering of more than 30% became illegal.
So for the next 70~80 years research went on in enhancing humans. Thus every person now had enhanced vision, strength, and mind.

This became the norm. Some genius figured out the gene that let people interact with electronics like their own limbs. This created a new avenue for military first for exoskeletons and completely integrated prosthetics for the disabled/amputees. Then came augmented reality.
Through years of painful research and experiments, a device that embeds into the spinal cord and connects to the brain via the medulla oblongata was released.
All the world governments bought the rights to this device and named it “ALTOR” Latin for protector since it provided protection from bio-hacking, a danger of the genetic revolution; then released it to the public and made it mandatory.
Since then came the age of ‘Advanced’. Every person from the age of 10 had the altor and this made all money paperless.
No more use of projectors or cinema halls since everything was directly sent to the visual centers of the brain directly and overlaying with what the person was seeing thus making for an effective augmented reality. No more cell phones too since that was also included in the altor.
As for game systems, well, virtual reality being no more a dream the pro gamers all joined together to form a corporation later known as GENESIS CORP and developed a virtual reality device named HIVE and released it to the public.
This connected with the altor and had its own bio memory and processors that made it have computing power several times that of a supercomputer of old times. It worked by intercepting all the active brain waves from reaching the body, instead allowing it to interact with the virtual body.
Thus the person loses control of his body and instead starts controlling his virtual body or ‘avatar’.
They used the funds from the HIVE’s sale to create an AI began to develop a game for 10 years. It was a virtual reality massively multiplayer role playing game (VMMORPG).This is the day that the game will be released, “DRAGON’s ROAR”.

In Pursuit of Glory
I felt a huge physical force slam into my back. I didn't have any time to think as I rocketed into the wall and felt the drywall dent beneath my body. Eyes wide, I groaned and began to push off the wall when, unceasingly relentless, my assailant backstabbed me with a knife to my gut. I gasped; being stabbed there is no laughing matter. Even today, with all the advances of science, a wound like that can easily be mortal. Most likely would be. I gasped for air with a snarl, funneling the wind into my lungs to help them expand after being pancaked into the wall. Nobody f***ing backstabs me and gets away with it. If there’s one thing you should know about me, it’s that I love being alive. I love it more than anything else. It’s something only a dead person can understand, and I feel myself forgetting all the time. But there’s a secret to death, and I keep it with me. Always. It’s never permanent, it’s never peaceful, and it’s always filled with regrets. But death, despite all of its shortfalls, can give a short respite from life, like a comfy afternoon nap. Death is Respite. It’s a rest for the weary. And to all those people who wander in death lonesome and regretting their broken lives - always, without fail, cut too short - I beg them to take advantage of it. I tell everyone to take advantage of death, even when I can’t bring myself to do so. --- Ciaran travels the world in pursuit of Glories, unfathomable, power-bestowing balls of golden light sequestered in difficult-to-reach places. A fun fantasy romp with a character with an unorthodox narrative voice trying to find his purpose in the world.
