Introduction to society

It is the year 3019. The world as we once known has changed into a more advanced way of life.

Humanity has entered a time of piece where violence has dropped to an all time low.

Although the violence is low that does not mean that humans still don't have to worry about other problems. With the advancement of technology the world has become more and more reliant on these devices.

Fifty percent of human kind has lost their jobs. Due to artificial intelligence being better and having a higher success rate then humans.

This caused a global decline in the population of humans. In the past 500 years humans have dropped to an all time low of 1.5 billion.

The cause of this was the AI due to the artificial intelligence taking over 50 percent of human jobs.

The humans that had lost their jobs due to the influx of AI had no source of income coming towards them.

The money hungry government and officials even though seeing decided not to take action to help the situation out. Each year the birth rate of humans were trumped by the deaths of countless lives due to them not having a good source of income.

The government finally deciding to help with the problem. In 2700 a giant building was created.

The building was known as H.O.P.E. It brought many citizens great joy now that they had a chance to have a steady source of income to provide for love ones and themselves.

The building had over 1000 levels of floors on it. Each being the size of four football fields put together.

The building provided many things for people such as a place of education. It ranged from pre-school all the way up to college.

The was for only for the first 100 floors. Floors two-hundred to three-four hundred were used for a shopping district. A influx of people came from around the world to visit this luxurious shopping district.

Items ranged from simple things such as tooth brushes to expensive items like the 24k gold floating TVs that sold for fifty thousand dollars.

Moving on to floors five-hundred to 750 were the housing areas. The floors on this level mimicked different climates and areas around the world making any floor quite desirable to live on.

Walking around a person could see many beautiful scenes such as the replicated beautiful beach side view on Miami that you could live in. Every thing you saw was real down to the smell.

You could smell the salt of the sea and feel if the warming rays of the sun where shining down on you. There were families outside enjoying there time at the beach, friends catching some waves as they tried to impress the group of girls that were sunbathing.

Once it got dark you could see many people gathering outside in circles. All sitting around camp fires talking about how their has been going and relaxing.

Kids enjoying roasted marshmallows and s'mores as they played around the beach under the watch of their parents. All was at peace as a gentle breeze blew across the area.

If you didn't enjoy such active and crowded areas you could live in a section of housing made exactly for your type. Apartment building that formed a giant square around the giant lake that was in the area.

This was known as the quote section of the giant building. It is a place where you could relax and sit outside and experience the wild life or read a book as you enjoy the scenery.

Getting back on track the next set of floors were different from the rest. Giant buildings pact close together.

This was the working section of H.O.P.E. It took up floor seven hundred and fifty to floor nine hundred and fifty.

This area was strictly was only for the working class. The minimum age to start working was 15.

But if you were having money problems you could start even younger. The mood in this area was very dull.

The is nothing exciting about being here all you do is work a nine to five and go home. By the time you get home you most likely would be to tired to do anything with your family or friends.

Many tried to escape the clutches of being a ordinary business worker in H.O.P.E. However it was near impossible to try to surpass what many thought they were destined to be.

Unless you were born into the rich or highly talented. There is 0.001 percent chance of you making it big.

Speaking of making it big that is what the last fifty floors were designed for. These floors were only accessible by people with money.

When I'm talking about money I don't mean just a million dollars. You have to have a net worth of at least fifty million to enter this area.

That's just the bottom of the area. Each area increases in price by 50 million.

Many don't even get to see these floors but a small amount of people. Only 0.0001 percent of people get to see these floors.

The commoners could only dream of what it looks like to see these floors. Mansions polished with diamonds and gold.

Servants serving your every need and to top it off not having to worry about anything else in life. You could just sit back and relax in your wealth.

But that is not it the last 5 floors are something special. Only made for the 0.00001 percent of people. This is the area where the leaders of this hierarchy live.

It includes people like past presidents that are still alive and there family members. Also it includes tech giants like Tom Gates who is the great great great great grandson of bill gates.

He is one of the great business giants of this age creating many vr games like clash of king and kingdom domination. These games brought him in a revenue of over 5 billion dollars.

He is well respected in all types of industry and is the model man for many H.O.P.E citizens. But however he is getting old and is currently looking for a successor.

You would think he would pick one of his five sons or his one grandchild. But with his kids constantly fighting over the power and not even giving him the time of day by talking to him I think that it would be a huge no to any one of him.

The only person that could be seen as a person that would be a perfect fit would be his grandson who is only 15 years old. If he were older his grandson would have got picked but do to his age he could be easily influenced by one of his uncle or dad into doing their bidding.

Back to the topic at matter bill decided to create one last game. Called ninja conquest the point of the game is to find the successor to his throne.

He needs to find one soon due to his declining age. He only has 7 years at best and in those years he stated that he would like to spend time living life free from all the responsibilities and stress that comes with his job as the N.C.H owner.

The release of the game is in a week and many people are waiting till Monday to see the trailer for the game. They have been waiting over five years for what Bill has said would be his masterpiece.

Bill stated in an interview by N.C.R corporate. That this game will be different from the rest.
