Chapter 1 Prologue
The world as we knew it changed forever the day the Dome appeared. It was a colossal structure, seemingly made of transparent material, rising up to the sky like an otherworldly monument. No one knew where it came from or why it was there, but one thing was certain: it was impossible to escape its confines.
The Dome had appeared without warning, its sudden arrival causing widespread panic and confusion. Governments around the world tried to make sense of it, but all attempts to penetrate the barrier proved futile. It was as if the Dome was a separate world unto itself, completely disconnected from the reality outside.
Despite the fear and uncertainty that gripped the world, there were those who saw the Dome as an opportunity-a chance to start anew in a world unlike any other. People from all walks of life flocked to the Dome, eager to explore its mysteries and discover what lay beyond its walls.
I am Thomas Westwood, a simple office worker who found himself trapped inside the Dome. Along with thousands of others, I discovered that this enigmatic structure was more than just a barrier. It was a gateway to a new world-a world governed by game-like mechanics and filled with endless possibilities.
At first, I was skeptical of this new world, believing it to be a mere simulation or a dream. But as I explored the Dome, I realized that it was as real as anything I had ever known. I watched in awe as people gained incredible powers and abilities, leveling up and acquiring new skills just like in a video game.
I soon discovered that the Dome was more than just a game. It was a microcosm of society, with people forming guilds, pursuing professions, and even engaging in politics. There were those who sought to exploit the Dome's resources for their own gain, while others sought to build a better world for all.
Despite the strangeness of this new world, there was a sense of excitement and adventure that permeated throughout. The possibilities seemed endless, and the promise of discovery and exploration filled me with a sense of hope for the future.
As I wandered through the Dome's sprawling cityscapes and ventured into its mysterious dungeons, I couldn't help but wonder about the origin of this strange world. Was it a product of human ingenuity, or the creation of some otherworldly force? Whatever the answer, I knew that the Dome held secrets that were waiting to be uncovered.
And so, I embarked on a journey unlike any other, one that would take me to the very heart of the Dome and beyond. It was a journey that would test my limits, challenge my beliefs, and ultimately reshape my understanding of the world around me.
