“Alrighty then let’s get started’”
Clicking on the new link that formed on my desktop brought me to the Vast Martial World site.

‘Well I least I’ll start at the same time as everyone else’
I pulled up a shogi app on my phone and started to play. I’m still not very good.
“Fucking Rook!” I yelled as I lost the mach. “Wait I was doing something…Shit the game”

“Perfect timing” I smiled as the screen reflected on my glasses.

Welcome to Vast Martial World! In this game, you take the role of a wounded ancestor, attempting to guide your descendants through to prominence as a powerful and influential sect! Your primary job is threefold. First, you will allocate resources between the disciples of the sect. As the sect grows, this will become increasingly difficult to do with specificity, so you will be forced to create scaffolding that will accomplish that for you. Your second job is to guide your disciples by assisting in their creation of techniques, through naming and by setting the nomological phrasings that form their power base. The final job is to assist your disciples in earning you Face, which can be used to send your disciples to powerful hidden dimensions, tournaments, or ancient tombs so they might gain good fortune!
“So it’s kinda like ISSTH. Cool Cool Cool”
We have detected this is your first time playing. Play with tips on?
“Why not.” Selecting the yes option made the screen change.
A detailed image of a mountain base appeared on the screen. Surrounded by light foresting. The mountain wasn’t very tall more of a large hill than anything else. There was a zoom but no pan which is a bit annoying. Athough since I had zoomed in I could til there was a creak past the mountain a little ways.
“Wow this looks nice. Please be mine”
A menu popped up asking for a started race. There was an option of demon, human, or animal.
“Gotta be demons. Edgy. Strong. Cool. What more dose a guy need” my mouse moved over to the demon label and double clicked.
“So many options. Succubi, Incubi, Tengu oh Lottery,”
Selecting lottery will randomly choose a demon race. An additional nomological phrase associated with your sect will be allowed. Additional, higher ranked options will be included. However, there is a chance that the species will not match your chosen Biome. Proceed anyway?
“Come on spin to win”
‘Lion heart’
‘Forest nymph’
‘Pixie’
“Come on something good please” I whispered to myself
Congratulations! Your sect shall be the “Ivory Oni Sect”.
