Squid Game Square

Allsium takes virtual reality to the ultimate level. It is not a social network, nor a massively multiplayer online video game, but an experience as real as life itself. In Allsium pain and pleasure feels as if it were real, so leaving the safety of virtual Earth is a price few are willing to pay. Those who do so will travel to the so-called illegal worlds, dangerous planets that pay homage to the golden age of video games and cinema, where they can obtain unimaginable powers: abilities that exceed human limits and magics that can be developed by choosing a path. However, the bravest adventurers must be very careful, as losing their lives in Allsium will make it impossible to access again, so they will no longer benefit from the system in a real world that is still recovering from the disasters of World War III. Gunner has formed a virtual group together with Greek, Dagon and Zen. After long and painstaking preparation, they decide to travel to the outlaw worlds of Allsium in search of the power offered by the trails. These can lead them to master incredible abilities and, incidentally, to take revenge on a society that has turned them into outcasts. But this will only be possible if they manage to take advantage of the Allsionist plan: the creation of a breach in the system that connects virtuality with reality. Evolution takes the final step. Welcome to Allsium.
