There's always a different perspective about how we see our world. PV prefered to call his home dystopian, while the rest were saying they now live in a post-apocalyptic world.
PV filled his backpack and was all geared up for the biggest adventure of his life! He had all kind of artifacts, trinkets and gadgets in his bag, and was breathing at an accelerate rate!
It was fear or adrenaline? He took the wooden chest from under the bed and slowly open it. He waited patiently until he turned 10, and now is the time!
Inside was a small shiny key, which levitated in the middle of the chest. He realised this will match the big rusty gate from the garden. This will be the first time he will leave the eco-dome, and he has no idea what adventures are waiting outside.
He discovered the secret of the chest, and now he was ready to go! The boots were the last piece of gear he had to put on, and he slowly walked towards the locked gate. The boots where dusting the leaves with every step, and the sound of twigs and pebbles under the footsteps was discreet but somehow weird!
PV put the key in, twisted twice and the cogwheels spinned and unlocked the rusty gate. He pulled hard but the gate didn't open, probably stuck after years of immobility! He pulled again...and again... harder and harder...
All the effort was in vain! The gate didn't move! However, PV noticed the "Z" symbol on the sturdy metal frame! The same "Z" symbol embroded on his gear!
He softly touched the rune-like inscription and the gate started to vibrate, and the protective ward that blured the outside vanished! PV could see the land behind the gate and his eyes were dazzed by the tropical colors!
Beyond the gate he could see a tropical paradise! Palm trees, flowers in bloom, insects... and a lot of sunshine! He never seen natural sun in the bio-dome, or experienced anything like this. A TROPICAL PARADISE!
Birds where tweeting, insects were buzzing and the warm of the sun could be felt beyond the gate. The same gate that was stuck seconds ago... now was wide open!
He stepped through the gate and nearby seen a wooden table, with a pair of binoculars on it. The "Z" symbol was glowing on the corner of the table.
PV took the binoculars and looked in the horizon! A brand new world was in front! He was ready to explore it! The mountains were miles away, and a lonely farmer's house could be seen in the distance!
The trek was long but he didn't panic. When he put down the binoculars he noticed a carving on the table! A carving about the trek that will follow:
Through misty paths and rugged stone, You must trek alone, with thoughts intone, What lies beyond the peaks so high? A whispered truth, a distant sigh.
And at the top, with heart ablaze, You’ll glimpse the world in endless ways, For in the climb, the journey’s key— The meaning of Z is simply me.
PV checked again his backpack, and everything was neat inside it. Read again the carving on the table and he strapped his boots tighter. He was ready for the trek!
He made only few steps from the gate, following the path, when a mechanical noise suddenly disturbed the buzzing insects. It came closer and closer, until he could noticed a drone approaching.
Friend of foe? He waited patiently for the drone to approach, and was surprised to hear a robotical voice calling his name!
Welcome PV! You are finally ready for the aventure of a lifetime! Here's your pazzport! Keep it always with you the blockchain signature will unlock paths, shortcuts and secret levels.
The drone dropped a little booklet at PV's feet, and he noticed some strange symbols on the fr0nt cover. He picked his passport and seen the "s" was replaced with the "Z" symbol that he seen so much lately.
