Life in the Metaverse: Escape or Surrender?

We spend most of our lives online. Scrolling through endless feeds, gaming in immersive worlds, working in digital offices, and building relationships without ever meeting face to face. The internet is no longer just a tool—it is a space where life unfolds.

Now, the metaverse takes it further. A reality where we don’t just observe but exist. Where identities are fluid, where wealth is measured in digital assets, and where entire lives are spent inside.

For some, it is the ultimate dream. For others, the ultimate nightmare.

This story follows Alex, an ordinary individual who steps into the metaverse seeking an escape—only to realize that leaving might no longer be an option.

What they face inside mirrors a question we may all have to ask ourselves one day: If the digital world is better than reality, why would anyone ever leave?

Welcome to the future.
