Main timeline

This part happens in the past. Consider this as a small background story.

Wavecrest family creates Celene INC.

AVU also prepares an aggressive method...

Celene INC. is an anonymous company destined to help big techs protecting data from malicious intents. Mr. Eric S. Wavecrest created the "xclude" protocol, a protocol that enable a perfect, end-to-end communication between 2 or more devices.
Despite this protocol being completely simple, it actually made lots of government crazy.

Unfortunately, in 20XX, technologies evolves rapidly, too rapidly. The xclude protocol become obsolete very quickly. And despite Celene INC. trying to implement "xclude v2", it didn't get a big success, causing Celene INC to close because of bankruptcy.

Meanwhile, AVU, owned by Charles Gasmi, took over Celene. Their very offensive method of protection: If one of them try to hack our client, get hacked in return. Every hacker trying to DDoS a company protected by AVU will get their DDoS turned against themselves.
Companies found this hilarious of creativity, mixed with the advantageous prestation cost.

AVU also made Deltaz.exe. It is a small Kiwi. He is a virtual assistant and a kind antivirus, respecting users privacy. Deltaz also features a "Tamagotchi" mode, where users can care for Deltaz by feeding, talking to, or playing with him.
Deltaz actually found a small success among families of the people working for companies that uses AVU software programs.

Celene falls, AVU lives, but Goggl kills.

During one of their Goggl I/O, their yearly conference, they announce the launch of The CyberSpace.

And this is where the fun began...

Remember AVU lore? This is it now. Feel old yet?

Trojan.JS.27003.PTIOH is now in the wild. Coming from the wild. She has suspended the entire internet. The central government has mandated the best technologies based companies, mainly AVU, to fix this issue.
The Internet Reborn Act is widely voted, with 392 votes supporting it and 10 against. 37 people didn't vote.
PTIOH is surviving by cloning herself in 6 versions of herself.

Many times later:
The counter-program project named Cursor.sys, a hidden .exe program disguised as a system file, has succeeded in calming the main instance of PTIOH, but PTIOH Ⅵ still defeat AVU.

A year later
The daughter of Eric Wavecrest, Céline Wavecrest, with the help of the Goggl Assistant n°394, recreates Celene INC.
This time, Celene INC. will be a company destined to contain anomalies.
And by containing anomalies, it also means PTIOH copies.

The efforts of AVU are declared as "inefficient", and are dismissed from working on the Internet Reborn Act. With the collaboration of Goggl, Celene get the remaining funds that was attributed to AVU for the project.

They effectively remove all traces of PTIOH on the internet, and contain a version on here within Celene INC.

AVU being decommissioned for the reborn project put them in financial danger. Government allowed them to have a last hope funds, but it's barely enough.

Who made this lol? Put people in a simulation to know.

Many days, weeks later...

The Government calls Celene INC to give their green light to continue the Internet Reborn Act:

Hello Celine, [NAME CENSORED DUE TO PRIVACY ISSUES] writing. 
We are pleased to accounce you that the 2nd step of the IRA can be launched.
This step is an important one. So proceed exactly how we plan it.

You will have to find a way to understand people. 
What we mean by this is that the PTIOH threat has been created for a reason.
This reason, including the creator, is unknown. 
We doubt we will be able to arrest anyone.

We need to make something to avoid this to begin a second time.
We have suffered once, we won't suffer twice.

Do everything possible to succeed in this mission.

Sincerly,

[NAME CENSORED DUE TO PRIVACY ISSUES],
[ROLE CENSORED DUE TO PRIVACY ISSUES]

Celene INC will then begin to develop and work on the xit-protocol, a neuronal packet handling system designed to contain and isolate different people into a same network, with no way to get out without an admin output.
Using Goggl's work on VR technologies, they begin to make an isolated world.

They also develop "FRGT", a program designed to remove and store people's selected parts of their memories during xit-protocol execution. The program is designed to give people's memory back once the person is out of the virtual environment.
This program is also coupled with a memory injector, allowing admins to integrate fake memories inside people's memory.

Meanwhile, inside the virtual world...

Inside the virtual world, there are already everything needed to make everyone comfy. Houses, food, public needs, etc...
In the shadows, Celene INC and Goggl handle the place, integrating AI puppets and androids at the services of the population sent into this world.

Notes :
Goggl is a parody of Google, just to be clear.

Credits :
The cyberspace is inspired on how YouTube VR works on the "유튜브 시리즈" (Youtube Series) made by 소맥거핀 (somacguffin). Some differences to note is the fact that, in here, it works with all the internet.
Goggl Assistant design is also inspired by Google Assistant design from the same series, with the only exception that there are many of them instead of one.

The "People gets isolated in a VR world ooooo" part is mainly inspired by The Tyrant of False Realities and Glitched Wonderland.

AVU and all other characters (excluding Cursor) has been made in old versions of Antivirus Unite.
Cursor.sys (real name: Cursor) has originally being made by Data.
