I wanted to make a .hack//-esque game without it being set in the world of .hack//. So, here's something I cooked up about three months ago and just recently found within the dark corridors known as my hard drive.

A new videogame for the computer was released several months ago by a relatively new company calling themselves New Land. The game is known as End Game. This game has become very popular over the last few months, enough that almost 5 out of every 6 people around the world between the ages of 12 and 25 have bought and use a copy.
It is a virtual reality MMORPG, one that takes place in a futuristic world where inter-galactic travel is possible and laser technology has developed into handheld weapons. It is also considered one of the most sophisticated videogames out there, in terms of graphics quality and gameplay; many users swear that they lose their sense of reality sometimes. Within the game, people can interact with other characters, as well as journey into wilderness areas to fight against creatures of all shapes and sizes.
Despite all the great points of this game, certain areas of the game are closed off for long periods of time, and sometimes people's accounts mysteriously disappear. One can't help but wonder if anything may be going on behind the scenes, and what it is.
Recently, various people have received e-mails from a mysterious address, sent through a website that was shut down years ago. All of them pertain to the game, and they warn the users of impending danger within it that may threaten their lives. Many have chosen to ignore this, but a few have decided to prepare for what may or may not happen. These few are in constant contact with the sender, preferring to be known as Shadow001. You are of these few, and you never know when the prophecied danger will come. You are to first meet each other and discuss the situation with Shadow001 himself.
