The world held its breath in a collective gasp once again. Cars locked their brakes in unison, planes hung suspended like forgotten dreams, and boats bobbed lifelessly on a calm sea. A colossal image, a silhouette of the admin, materialized above every city, a silent command for all to witness.
The message, a booming pronouncement, echoed in every mind:
Attention Earth: My grand design nears completion. In a mere three years, the system will be operational. Prepare your mind to accept the possibilities of life within the new system.
Forget your morbid games of replacing the fallen. Three hundred and sixteen unfortunate souls have succumbed after their morality meter dipped below a critical 3.
Okay, okay. Wait… I’m tired of trying to sound all mysterious. I was a normal guy until I was chosen to help build this system. It’s simple. Don’t be a jerk that hurts others on purpose without remorse, or you die. Once the system is active, the leaders can choose what to do about it. But before then, I have zero patience, and all 1’s and 2’s die immediately. Pick what you really want to do when the system starts, work towards that, help others, and just do your best to be happy.
We have had 316 new cases of morality dropping below a 3 because they wanted to control what the other idiots left when I had them killed. They died as well. When you reach a point where you feel no remorse, when you truly do not care how your actions affect others and you purposely cause unimaginable harm, you will not be welcome in the new world.
The Coming Changes: I will be implementing some changes early. You may have already noticed some powers manifesting in individuals. Do not be afraid of these changes. Many more will come before integration. This is not always by design. Some people are just lucky, and their powers are manifesting early.
I have also rewarded many acts of extreme bravery as well as unwavering kindness. Continue to decide who you want to be and work towards becoming that person.
Throughout the next 3 years, potential leaders will be informed of the positions available once the new system is complete. You do not get to choose these leaders. Every time it’s given to people to decide, some type of manipulation happens, and things get all messed up. It’s not a popularity contest. It’s based on who would do the best job. So tough luck, I’m picking this time.
Those praying for guidance, stop. I will not choose a path for you. I am not a god, nor have I seen any evidence showing whether the god you have believed in is real or not. I am human, or at least I was. I experienced convergence with the entity that is the system and am now the administrator in control.
This new world will be a chance for you to fulfill your dreams that in the old world were not possible. You do not need guidance to choose what you enjoy or love. When the system activates, you will be given choices. These will be based on who you are. If you wish to change professions after integration, quests may be available to do so. It will not be easy should you wish to change, and your gained skills may not be helpful in a new profession, but you will not lose any skills or powers gained by switching professions. So choose wisely and plan for the future.
A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
The System Tutorial: A tutorial is being developed. This will guide you through how to use the system. Stop asking how to do things in the system when it’s not even active yet. It is not fully developed, and I nor the system will answer. You are wasting your time.
The Morality Meter Alteration: Many have already changed who they fundamentally are in the short time since my last message. This is commendable. The meter does not only change based on actions. It changes based on how you yourself perceive your actions. We have already increased the number of 10’s to 41. These individuals have seen where they wanted to change and effectively dropped all selfish thoughts and behaviors. This is not the end goal for everyone, so don’t feel like you have to reach for something unattainable. We do not need a society of people who only strive to give selflessly. We do, however, need a society of people who care how their actions affect others. Selfishness and greed will always be a part of life. It can be done somewhat ethically though. There will be no communism. You build your own life and do not expect anything for free. If you want something, put in the effort to obtain it.
Preemptive Destruction: There may have been, and may still be, some cases of wildlife obtaining powers as well as humans. Should you experience any such cases in wildlife, I am creating an obelisk in every town across the world. Just speak out at one of these and say what you have found. Do not attempt to fool me with false claims. Wasting my time will not bode well for your future in the system. These obelisks will also allow for anyone wishing to know their full stats list to see where their true potential lies. This may be used once per year on the day of your choosing. You’ll instinctively know how to activate it.
Power: We will need extremely powerful people in the new world. Other entities bent on our destruction will eventually attempt to invade and overtake Earth. There are no current attempts, nor do I know of any estimate on this timeline. I have just been made aware of their existence.
The more powerful heroes we have, the better chance we have of defeating any invaders. There will be dungeons and monsters. Humanity will need powerful people to deal with these as well, so we don’t all die on the first day. These will offer great rewards at great risk and will be excellent training grounds to build yourself up. Think of this when you think of who you want to be in the new world.
You may want to be a baker of magical food but maybe gain some sword skills or magical abilities along with it. Anything is possible.
Things only ever dreamed of will now be a pivotal part of reality. Alchemy, potions, magic, and a combination of all three will play a major role in every city. Be prepared.
This was forced on us all. I’m not going to say the initial cause because it doesn’t matter now, but we brought this on ourselves. Once we are all settled in, I will create books with the entire true history of the world for scholars to one day learn the truth.
The future is unknown, but you can make it whatever you choose to. This can be the start of the most amazing time in your life. Magic is real, people! Have fun with it.
