2 - The Rules

After clicking 'Yes' i felt my consciousness unnaturally drifting away. I tried my best to focus on the game in front of me but no matter how hard i tried it couldn't stop my consciousness from fading. opening my eyes i look around and find myself in a room that reminds me of a court room. In front of me looking down from the podium were the 5 figures that shocked the world.

"Hello Michael we are here to explain the rules to the game that you just joined." (God 1)

"So just sit back and listen for a while, any questions can be said after we explain. Is that all right?" (God 2)

The figure waves his hand and then points behind me.

"That's ok." (Michael)

looking back i see a chair that magically appeared. So taking the figures advise i take a seat and wait for them to start.

"So 'The Evolution Games' is where we create a situation that you must over come." (God 3)

"We could make it be anything that we like such as surviving a zombie apocalypse for a day or fight the end boss of a video game. (God 2)

"Inside the situation there will be a mission you MUST complete, without completing it you will die. (God 4)

"Also there could be side missions which will grant you extra rewards if you do them." (God 5)

"Are there any questions about the missions?" (God 3)

"How am i going to survive a zombie apocalypse?" (Michael)

"We will be talking about this later any other questions?" (God 1)

"Will all this take place on Earth?" (Michael)

"No this will take place in the dream state like this but be aware you will feel pain and can still die by normal means. Also you can host or join a party of 3. These will be your team mates and will help you to complete the missions." (God 3)

"Anything else?" (God 4)

"Will there be any problems having teammates?" (Michael)

"Depends on the person, missions are based on what the ideals and personality. So a killer will have missions based on murder, were a dog lover won't have to kill a dog." (God1)

"So if i don't want to kill i won't have to?" (Michael)

"That is so but it will be harder to survive as your life will always be in danger. Also with teammates the mission is mixed." (God 5) 

"thats all, continue" (Michael)

"So on to the rewards. After a successful mission you will get 1 win. After 20 wins you can end the game for yourself and go back to how you were living before. Instead you can could gain powers with those wins such as flying and super strength" (God 2)

"Or weapons like guns, swords whatever you can imagine." (God 3)

"We will decide the cost and if you can imagine a new power or weapon you will get a discount." (God 1)

"Extra rewards from side missions can be used the same but a lot more point are needed. Also certain powers and weapons need requirements in order to get them." (God 2)

"Any question for the rewards?" (God 1)

Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation.

"How do i know the requirements for weapons?" (Michael)

"A message will be sent to your mind when you think of the power or weapon you want" (God 2)

"Is that it?" (God 1)

"Yes" (Michael)

"Now for the good bit as a gift we will unlock one of the following." (God 1)

"Ki the energy of the body. Can be used to improve strength and or speed." (God 3)

"Mana the energy of nature. Basically it is magic" (God 4)

"Psychic the ability of the mind. Can be used to move things with the mind" (God 5)

"Please choose one" (God 1)

Thinking about the option in front of me i can easily choose one.

"I choose Ki" (Michael)

One of the figures floats down towards me like how an angel would descend to earth. Lifting up its hand he pokes my forehead and a surge of energy flows from that single point all around my body. My body feels lighter, stronger and just better. while i concentrate on what has changed to my body the figure returned to its place.

"Now you also get the choice of one power or weapon that you could think of for free. What will it be." (God 1)

Understanding what he said i stop checking my body and think of powers that i always wanted to have. Flying, super strength are all powers children would love to have, But know that i need to choose one my mind is blank. i can't think of a power that could help me. After what seemed like 10 minutes of going through my memories thinking of games and T.V shows i finally found my power. 

"i would like super human reaction"

My thinking is that as long as i dodge i will continue to live. and not only that but i can study my enemies techniques and habits. Suddenly white light surrounds me and enters through my body to my mind. The process feels like pins and needle but in my mind. After a while the process finishes and i feel like nothing has changed. 

"The process has been done. Any last questions?" (God 1)

"None" (Michael)

"Then by my power you Michael will join 'The Evolution Games' and have 2 weeks of training before you start to play. Do you accept this?" (God 1)

"Yes" (Michael)

"Then the deal is done" (God 1)

The again the same unnatural feeling appeared and my consciousness started to drift away. This time i just let it take it away. Opening my eyes i am at my desk and the game has finished. After all that happened i left for an early break. 

In the dream state

"So what do you think about Michael?"

"He made pretty good choices, better then most"

"But still not amazing. There was a lot or choices that would of been better."

"We can only watch and see what happens in the future"
