Prologue

Xiang Feng has logged over 500 hours so far on his avater in Sims World and yet he had never seen an icon with this much detail. A simple spiders web... but when he looked closer at the web he could see the intricate fractal patterns in the web. The longer he looked the more detail was reveal, layer by layer, thread by thread... he never saw that there was a spider in the web. He knew he shouldn'd feel pain in Sim World, he wasn't even using a hot ASSIST and yet he felt pain radiadte from the small spiderbite on his hand. Black lines of code radiated out like a whirlpool from the bite, causing his avatar to shimmer. The code spread quickly and then he heard the voice, the voice of God!
