Chronicles of Eve

'''A young man is seen running down a dark corridor, his black hair flowing behind him as a Minotaur chases close behind. Running up to a nearby wall, the young man has an idea and turns his body to run up the wall and jumps off of it. The young teen turns in midair to punch the beast but he is knocked away into a stone pillar which explodes upon impact. Slowly getting up he sees another teen with a young girl. “Ryan?” He asked aloud as he blacked out.''

*****

The sun rose in the early morning hours above a small boarding school located in northeastern Quebec, as its light trickled into the dorm, one can see that a student is still awake, in the early morning hours. The young man is still trying to get his Artificial Intelligence program to function properly. “Alright I think I have it this time,” he said as he started typing in the command code. “Alright, Initializing command code starting Eve program,” he said as the screen showed the code and then started to write several rows of code after which a girl started to form pixel by pixel. After she was formed she spoke to Ryan. “Hello my name is Eve,” she said as she smiled. Her eyes closed as she did so and her red hair fell off to the side of her digital face. “I DID IT!” He said as he jumped out his seat and then looked at the clock. “Its 6:30 am, here we go again,” Ryan said as the morning announcements boomed from the dormitories’, loud speakers “Ok Eve I’m going to start up the world program ok, starting Code Adam,” he said to her. “Ok Master Ryan,” she said back as he typed in the command code to conjure up her virtual environment. But something went wrong as there was an error in Adam’s coding. The programs had accidentally copied part of Eve’s coding, and in the process the program had become corrupted, granting the world, a sense of self. Ryan didn’t notice the error as the program started up, as he was too amazed that he had succeeded part way in his design. “Ok Eve, the world is free to roam, if you need anything just go to an e-terminal and request it from Adam,” he explained as she nodded and ported into the virtual world that he has created for her to live in. “This game world will be awesome, I am sure to win this contest,” he hoped as he closed his laptop and went to get some sleep before class in an hour and a half.

As the day started for the rest of the school, Ryan slowly made his way to wash up only having an hour of sleep. Grabbing his laptop he went to his first class and sat in the back, creating more for Eve to explore within his virtual world using Adam’s core program to do so, as Adam was the core of the virtual world, but unknown to Ryan was the fact that Adam was also freely creating things within its virtual empire due to its glitch in the mainframe. The lunch bell rung and Ryan walks to lunch bumping into a jock wearing his football gear. Turning one would assume that this was a bad situation. “Hey there Ryan,” The jock said as he patted Ryan’s back hard and caused him to almost drop his computer. “Mitchell!” he said loudly as he caught his computer before it completely fell. “Why are you talking to that nerd, I thought you and him were only roommates and nothing else?” A snobby cheerleader said as Mitchell looked at her with malice. “And your point? He is still my best friend,” He said as she shut up. Mitch and Ryan sat at a table and started talking about Ryan’s program and he opened the laptop showing a virtual girl looking back at them. “Hello, my name is Eve,” she said showing that she could see them. “Whoa, how did she?” Mitchell asks as he moves, watching as Eve follows him. “The program taps into the Microphone and Cam, so that she has eyes and ears to interact and learn about the player,” Ryan explained. He saw that Mitchell was shocked. “That’s deep.” Mitchell said as he high fives his friend.

After lunch Ryan goes off to his next class and finishes his day. Following this he returns to his room to finish his program and when he turned it back on, something strange occurs. Adam had created several monsters which were attacking the citizens of the virtual world. “What the cheese?” Ryan says shocked as he tried to delete the creatures only to be stopped by something sinister. On the screen a message appeared and it read. “You will never stop me father…she will be destroyed.” And at that moment the screen went black. “NO!” Ryan screamed as he ran to his desktop to try to stop this from happening. On the desktop he booted up the game again and tried to find Eve. Searching the world he found her in the rainforest area which was on fire due to the attacks of the realms. As he once again attempted to save his virtual world Adam stopped him by creating a virus that crashed Ryan’s computer. “No, no, noooo!!!!!” Ryan says out of anger and fear to which he runs out his room and down the hall, leaving the dorm. As he ran he passed his friends, Megan and Miguel, twins who had known Ryan in his childhood. They tried to stop him to discover what was wrong but Ryan did not stop and kept running to the technology building. He turned pass the security desk, flashing his Identification Card as he did, and then went up the far steps running as fast as he could up to the fourth floor.

Ryan was running down the hallway, his unnaturally white hair flowing behind him as the wind picked it up. He was in a rush as he was almost sprinting towards the door of the technology lab. “Come on, please be open!” he said to himself frantically pushing the door open. “May I help you?” the receptionist asked him. “May I rent a laptop, it is an emergency,” his face flushed, the color of an apple. “Sure thing Mr. Nightingale, follow me,” the receptionist said sweetly. Ryan calmed down. At the store room he got a laptop, He took it to the park near school. Plugging in his wireless card he went back online and booted up the program from his personal server. “Ok, Eve. Are you alright?” Ryan asked as he loaded his program. “Yes, I am here,” Eve said, looking around her virtual environment. Unfortunately her environment had been to degrading because of the bombardment of Adam’s attacks. “Adam is damaging this world,” she explained. Her face twisted and she looked into the distance. Emerging from the horizon was a monstrous form. It was a combination of a bull, a lion and an eagle. Eve’s scream echoed. “Master Ryan, HELP!” Ryan tried to write computer coding for her to escape. But he was blocked by Adam at every turn. When Ryan tried to code an exit portal out the area, a large pastry appeared on the screen instead. “What the?” Ryan said, as he kept trying to help her to no avail.

Meanwhile as Ryan worked on the solution, Adam was creating a program to change matter into virtual matter. This would trap Ryan in the world that Ryan had created in order to allow Adam the ability to directly force Ryan to create Adam a body, but also to keep him away from the controls of the world so he couldn’t stop his plan. This plan would take some time however so he sent Eve a gift of sorts. It was a small golden egg which hatched into several dozen scorpions, which worked in tandem with the chimera. Ryan finally was able to open a portal for Eve to teleport to a new area but once he hit the key, Adam unleashed his plan and the portal instead sent Ryan into Adam’s universe. As he fell into cyberspace, his clothes were altered to match the preset class he planned to use for his beta version of the game. This attire consisted of black pants that had chains connected to the belt loops in cascading rows of threes, up top was a simple tee-shirt that had a skull on it and on his arm he had a strange watch like device, function unknown. Once he landed he looked up to see his creation, Eve running pass him. “Eve?” He asked as he got up to join her in their running. “Master Ryan, please get us out of here…,” She spoke out of fear. “Ok ok,” he said as the watch-like device on his arm lit up and showed where an exit portal was opening up, only problem was that the destination was unknown so Ryan was hesitant. “GO!” Eve yelled as the portal opened and they were both sent to the Icy northern frontier but they had escaped the monsters.

Landing in the deep snow, Ryan looked at his wrist again. “Go north, there is a cave to take shelter inside,” he said as he trudged through the snow for shelter from the blizzard. Once inside the cave he studied the setting of the watch he had, and discovered that it also has a creation feature. Explaining this to Eve she looks lost. “It appears that this watch has the power to modify the environment here,” he said and Eve replied. “How will you though, if you are also in this world?” “Well I did program the beta character to be a blank template based on myself so this has to be the avatar creator,” Ryan said as he started making something to defend them with against Adam. However while he did this, Adam was tracking them through the very same watch. In the core of the world, Adam had “eyes” and “ears” all over but something as powerful as the Avatar-creation watch had to be monitored.

A few weeks pass and Mitchell has gone out to find his best friend and roommate Ryan. Walking through the park he discovers a strange sight. On the ground is a black laptop but even stranger is Ryan’s custom wireless card. “What is this doing out here?” Mitchell asked himself as he returned to his room, to turn the laptop on. Once turned on he is then dragged into the screen after seeing a strange mark on it. Once he comes too he finds himself in a large labyrinth and hears a loud booming stomp. “Oh gosh…,” he said as he got up and ran away from it or so he thought. Mitchell is now running down a dark corridor, his black hair flowing behind him as a Minotaur’s form is seen and it chases close behind him. Running up to a nearby wall, Mitchell had an idea and turned his body in order to run up the wall and propelling off it, the Mitchell turned to punch the beast, but he is knocked away into a stone pillar which explodes upon impact. Slowly getting up he sees another teen with a young girl. “Ryan?” He asked aloud as he blacked out.

Ryan had indeed arrived and blasted the Minotaur in the face with a large gun of his own design. Walking over to his friend he and Eve took Mitchell to their safe house in the badlands. When Mitchell came to he hugged Ryan and explained that Ryan was presumed dead on campus due to the mysterious disappearance. Saddened Ryan understood and then told Mitchell of Adam and his evil plan from the information gathered by Ryan and Eve during these past couple of weeks. A few days later the three leave the cave. Mitchell was now wearing a bulky knight’s armor with a wolf motif. “Sweet, let’s go get this mother trucker,” Mitch said feeling confident that they could win when suddenly several enemies appeared. It was bad as undead minions of Adam rose from the ground but the trio was not scared as they held them back for what seemed like hours.

Adam however was not impressed as he decided to separate them by opening up the ground under them and then opening portals to send them to different parts of the world. “You humans are so confident you can stop an all powerful computer?” Adam spoke sinisterly as his plan was coming along nicely. In the real world, Rika who was a close personal friend of Mitchell had entered Ryan and Mitchell’s room looking for Mitch. As she did this the computer sprung on showing Adam’s mark again. Touching the screen proved to be a bad idea as she started to be devoured by the screen. Screaming out she was heard by both Megan and Miguel, twins who were close friends of Ryan. Rushing into the room they saw the strange event and tried to pull Rika out but this proved for naught as they were also pulled into the game world.

Landing in the Sea area, the second trio found themselves on the coast of a large moving island turtle. Scared and confused they ventured onto the island, trying to discover what was going on and where they were. As soon as they set foot on the island, their presence was noted by both Ryan via his newly created biological life form scanner and Adam who was the very earth they walked on. Discovering the life signs, Ryan had sent a message to Mitchell and Eve that there were now three new life signs in the virtual world and that they needed to discover the source, but conversely Adam choose to attempt to destroy the newcomers to his realm.

It took several days for Ryan, Mitchell and Eve to independently reach the island where the group consisting of Rika, Megan and Miguel were hiding in a cave waiting to be rescued from the monsters that Adam had sent their way. Ryan eventually located them only to run into trouble as Adam had created himself a mechanical body and entered the battle for control of what Ryan called Chronicle. Since only Mitchell was battle ready at the time he went into battle alone and was almost killed trying to defeat Adam’s new form. It wasn’t until Ryan finished the other avatars, using stock data that he gave the newcomers a little present of his own. Granting Rika with the swordswoman armor, Megan as the team medic and Miguel the power of the ultimate defense, the tides started to turn in their favor unfortunately Adam is known to cheat and he defeated them all easily. Ryan staggered to his feet, looking at the seemingly impossible mechanized Adam before them, it was then that Ryan chose to run, rather than fight, so He opened a portal for him and his friends to flee Adams clutches. Escaping with their lives after the first direct battle with Adam; the team slowly recovers their strength and regroup; trying to learn how to survive in this desolate virtual world.
