Welcome, adventurer, to Mount and Blade: Eagle. Before beginning the game you must create your character. Remember that in the traditional national society depicted in the game, war and politics are usually dominated by male members of the nobility. That does not however mean that you should not choose to play a female character, or one who is not of noble birth. Male nobles may have a somewhat easier start, but women and commoners can attain all of the same goals -- and in fact may have a much more interesting.

Napoleon looked at his character page and he liked what he saw.

"Woah, these choices weren't originally present in the game but I have no complaints, these stats are pretty awesome. So, that explains why the maid really look scared when she saw me. But I'm still penniless. What's the point of giving 51000 francs in the first 3 choices only to lose it in the final choice. I can't even."

'Host should be thankful, the price of life when host died was 51000 francs. Now, after host's revival, the current price of entry is now 55000 and rising continuously because of other entries. Be reminded host, that you are merely one entry. You are currently the 51st player to enter the server. The highest amount of francs that can be gained in character creation is at most 200000 francs so at most only 200 entries can be accommodated.'

"200 players, isn't this the maximum capacity of the average Mount and blade Napoleonic wars server?"

'System is unable to answer host's query. Please refrain from asking more questions of this type for system does not have a function capable of dealing with copyright infringement.'

This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.

"Right... So what is your motive? What about me, what is my mission, why am I here?

'System is merely here to help answer host's questions, after all the players have entered the server, the Napoleonic Wars v2.0 will start in this world and will only end once only 1 player remains. Once all the players have been informed and the total war starts, system will disappear.'

"So, system, of these 199 other players, can you tell me who they are?"

'Other celebrities during the Napoleonic era. Host wasn't the only one who was sent to live in the future, 1000 celebrities have been sent to the future but only 200 will be able to enter this server. The remaining 800 will be sent to their eventual destination.'

"Why are you doing this system? What's in it for you?"

'System is merely looking for a suitable host, once only 1 player remains, system has found suitable host, so mission is accomplished.'

"Then what happens to the 199 others?"

'They will also be sent to their eventual destination.'

"By eventual destination, do you mean death?"

'Yes, carbon based life forms such as host have only one eventual destination, and no other outcome, unless host becomes the only remaining player.'

"System, you said that I was a celebrity during the Napoleonic wars during my past life right? Then who was I? You know, when I was a child, I was knocked in the head so hard that I forgot every memory I ever had."

'Host is Napoleon Bonaparte. The one who started the Napoleonic trend himself.'

"What? I was the main man? Then why organize this competition? With me here, there is no comparison at all. Why not just get rid of the hassle and just go straight ahead to the awarding?"

'Host jests. According to the past situations in history, along with the individual player's acquired skills from the future, system has simulated the server many times and the host only has at most 0.0987654321 % chance of not being the first eliminated. Host, in game terms, has accumulated the most aggro and every player plans to eliminate the host as their first agenda. As we are speaking, the number of entries right now has reached 181 players and each player has already inquired the system about host. System won't be able to elaborate more, just wish host good luck.'

'What? Are the players all my enemies in the past? What about my allies, I thought you were impartial?"

'Host, please don't be angry with system. System is indeed impartial. Yet, system has counted more entries of host's past frenemies but the number of host's alliedversaries is also not that far off.'

"Then, why do I get the feeling that every player out there wants my blood?"

'System can only tell host eastern idiom, "Tallest tree catch most wind".'

"Damn, why? Why must I suffer this way?"

Napoleon then looked at his functions and remembered something.

"System, can you tell me more of this Super troops.exe?"

'System is unable to understand host's query. Please elaborate.'

"Well, I installed a mod called Super troops.exe once in my PC, yet I can also see it in my functions right now."

'Host jests, system is incompatible with other modules. System's module security is perfect and cannot be incorporated with other mods.'

"What? Then what is this?"

'Host must be experiencing paranoia. System advises host to relax and chill.'
