Intro. The rhythmic soft hum of the power core was the immediate reality that greeted Shion. It was a familiar sound, one he had spent countless hours listening to while fine-tuning systems in Astral Horizon. But today, the sound felt heavier, more substantial. He opened his eyes, expecting the temporary disorientation of exiting a full-dive VR session, the slight stiffness that came from hours of seated gaming.
Instead, the cool, recycled air of the cockpit brushed against his skin. He was staring at the sleek, matte-black console of the commander’s seat—his commander's seat. He reached up and touched the smooth, cool surface of the dashboard. The tactile feedback was perfect, indistinguishable from reality because, terrifyingly, it was reality.
