This was just meant to be another normal day, you got off work or school and you would play your favorite game. The year is 20XX and VR games have advanced significantly. Not only are you able to fully dive into a game but you can feel everything that happens as if it were real. Not a lot of people play the games for realism but because they can fully immerse themselves in a new world. This game even has a part in E sports where competitions around the world are televised. However instead of it being PVP like most E sports. It focuses on PVE, players create characters and work together to defeat Legendary NPC hero's which stats are so high that simply getting to them is a challenge and half of the entertainment value. Even getting to a certain point in this final raid nets the players respect and money. The raid is so difficult to win that only 2 parties have ever done it in the past 7 years since the games inception.
You are just normal people, you could have been E sports players getting ready for the next competition or you could just be an average joe that likes to play this game for fun. However as you dive in to play you realize you aren't in your normal character bodies in fact you are one of the 6 Pillars, the name of the legendary hero's that are the goal for every player. However it soon becomes apparent that you the pillars are the true hero's and the player characters are actually the villain's. Whenever the raid is finished it resets the world, killing you and everyone in that world if the player character ever win they can choose which legendary hero they want changed, if they pick you then you are subjected to unimaginable pain as your code, your very souls are destroyed and whatever you used to be ceases to exist. You all die but whomever is chosen is given a fate worse then death.
Now that you are the legendary pillars you can't escape and you can't leave. Will you fight till the bitter end? Will you let yourselves be erased or get your code reworked until you are no longer you? Or will you try and figure out a way to beat the game as the pillars and instead reveal to the world how bad the game truly is?

Okay so I drew inspiration from a music video called warriors from league of legends. No I have never played the game myself and I don't plan to, I also didn't base this on them but the video game me the inspiration for this. Basically you become legendary hero's within the game and can't leave. If you give up, you die. If you fight then it's an endless fight until you figure out how to stop the players from coming into the world or you figure out a way to get out to tell the world what you went through. I am basically letting you guys become OP characters in a video game. The abilities you have can't be game breaking! so no time distortions or something ridiculous like that if you were that powerful the game would crash every 10 seconds and it wouldn't have become a hit in the first place. Right now this is just an idea i had so im unsure if it will gain any attention but at least i got it down in case someone likes the premise
