Sometime is the future, a man named Archer Madris, a lawyer, ran off to Wyoming after finding a strange address on his apartment door. There he found a run down building in the middle of the barely populated state. There was no one inside... no one except an old man dressed in yellow. He called Archer there - and for a reason. He handed the young man a pair of glasses. Archer had never worn glasses once in his life. But he put them on anyways, his curiosity getting the best of him. Instantly, once he had put them on, the whole building transformed into a modern, sleek one. Something straight out of a utopia. Some future, some world Archer had never seen. And the man in yellow... he looked young again.
"This is New Vision," the man said to Archer once he had taken a look around with the glasses, taking them off and putting them on over and over to make sure what he was seeing was real. "The Humaniteye. The New World will rise. This will be a utopia... and world you have never seen. Every person's idea of paradise is within these glasses."
Archer should have been overjoyed. He wasn't. This wasn't real... it couldn't be real. And it was fake, surely, the world he saw with those glasses on. He took them off, just for the world that now seemed dull to return. He didn't know why he was here or why this man called upon him - or how, that is. He had to be crazy. Either that or Archer was dreaming. No matter the truth, this wasn't it. And Archer refused to let himself live in a blissful world that wasn't even real. He declined the glasses, and ran out of the building. He wasn't scared. At least he didn't think he was.
A few years later... Archer is woken up one morning to a storm outside his window. He had long forgotten about New Vision at this point. However, the world he had seen always lingered in the back of his mind. The TV in the other room suddenly turned on. The remote had been broken. How this was possible, Archer didn't know. He was about to go and unplug it until a familiar sight came onscreen. The man in yellow. He was... being interviewed? He looked at the camera, and his eyes just seemed so odd. So inhuman. They were the same color as they had been years ago, but brighter somehow. More abstract. And the pupil was outlined with a glowing white. What sort of foolery was this man up to now. Archer continued to watch. The man talked about New Vision.
We started with glasses... Archer remembered. A man denied us... They remembered him too. We tried something new... That didn't sound good. And we have found a more permanent way to create the perfect world. The perfect world everyone wants... And what is it everyone wants anyway? Peace... Of course. Prosperity... Made sense. Lack of illness... Impossible. Lack of death... Also impossible. Lack of aging unless one desires... Scientifically impossible. Only happiness. No pain. No fear. No anger. No anguish. No sadness. Just happiness. Joy. When was the last you felt that in this hellhole of a world? What was he talking about. It's official... What's official? We have created a permanent transplant... Transplant-? ...of the human eye... What?! How-With our creation of an artificial eye... you will be welcomed in the New World. You're dream world...
Archer unplugged the TV. That was impossible. No way anyone would fall for something so stupid.
They did. Almost everyone did. Everyone wanted to live in the New World. Because people only hear what they want to hear, don't they? They only see what they want to see, but now that's all they're allowed to see... And the world has been completely taken over and destroyed landmass by landmass by these people who created the eyes. What people thought was a utopia was a dystopia. They couldn't see anything else. Artificial happiness. How was that even real?
Archer would never get that transplant... but after a few months the man in yellow finds him. He kidnaps him in his sleep. The transplant begins, as the man in yellow sees Archer as his nemesis that he must convert. The transplant is never completed, and Archer escaped, but damaged the Humaniteye in the process so it becomes a dead eye and he is now considered an idiosyncratic... but now he has to find a way to convince people that the New World is a hoax and stop it... and find people on his side to help him...

Plausible legends of ancient magic, but current magic is not common.
Near future, perhaps cloning and genetic manipulation
Combat is woven into the storyline and could come to the forefront if the characters seek it out.
Some romance is possible, but the overall plot is more important.
Details: Freeform, paragraphs required, long-term RP partner preferred. Will be played one-on-one.
