Cyberspace was a world of wonders to my eyes. It was a place where everyone could be anything they wanted to be with just a simple cord attacked to the jack that connected each person into it. All it took was a single cable or wireless jack and our minds were inside cyberspace. Most people knew Public//NET. Public//NET was the public series of networks and servers known to the common user. They were usually packed with ordinary people who wanted to escape reality without the dangers of BTL labs and their inherent risk of brain damage. If the average wage slave wanted to cheat on his wife, Public//NET's LovR app was the first place he would look for possible partners. LovR was a virtual dating app made for avatars to mingle and date each other in hopes of finding love in the real world, but most people just used the app for virtual hookups. If a group of social outcasts wanted to escape from a world where they were weak and helpless to a world where they could become heroes of some fictional world, they would either be playing the Legends of Corel'Thas or Hero Universe apps. In some cases, dividing their time between both. LoCT was a popular fantasy game. Think swords and sorcery with cyberbrain controls and you've got the right idea. Hero Universe was pretty much the same crap except with superheroes set in the early 21st century. But people like me didn't play the apps on Public//NET the way the developers intended.
