In the year 2016โฆ
โฆAnamast, a leading Search Engine Corporation, will sponsor an innovative virtual school program for children of all ages. But alas, innovation does not come without minor collateral damages. Fortunately Anamast will have a solution for that too: a blue liquid called Parablu.

Users will be associated with a Level to define their personal and professional status. Changing oneโs profile will become almost impossible unless you are able to take part in the nation's favorite game show: Level 10.
โฆSweet Dreams Inc. will be the market leader for โvirtual transfersโ, consisting in the physical termination of human beings and in the migration of their existence onto the corporationโs servers, making their customers virtually yours, forever.
