In the dark shadow of Corteguay, a socialist regime plots an elaborate charade—a deceptive election designed to hoodwink its citizens into believing their hearts beat for tyranny over freedom. They incarcerate a political rival and his kin beneath the earth, in a makeshift prison masquerading as a water pumping station. Here, amidst the damp confines, a digital charade unfolds. The regime employs the seductive illusions of virtual reality to manipulate the captive family into proclaiming the fabricated election as genuine.

Yet, within this trapped family stirs a beacon of hope—Julio Cortez, a Net Force Explorer. His existence intertwined with digital realms, Cortez possesses an unsuspected advantage, one that eludes even foreign powers like the Americans. In the vast expanse of virtual reality, he transforms into an ace pilot, soaring through limitless skies. In the virtual adventure, The Ultimate Escape, Cortez embarks on a daring mission, flying across thousands of miles in search of allies, determined to rescue his family before they are silenced forever.
