Hi everyone! Before you start reading, please be aware that the Prologue will have significantly less words than normal chapters as its mostly to explain certain aspects and to add a little to the story!

In the Main Observation Room [Commentator(s) present: Finul]

“Welcome young and old, powerful and pitiful, conquerors and craftsmen to the 3637th Tutorial! Now I will say I've been waiting for this next one for a while, 6 years to be exact. How about you all?” 

The commentator says, as he proudly walks on stage. The crowd in front of him full of trillions of users from across the multitude of galaxies that the system inhabits all cheer, shouting out that they've been waiting for the new tutorial as well. The commentator, a Drakoni named Finul, smiles at the crowd as he sits down in the armchair set up in front of the screen. He lets the crowd settle down a tad before he continues 

“Now I’m sure most of you have watched the past tutorials but I'm sure you all know the protocol.” 

 He pauses as the crowd lets out a groan making him chuckle  

“I know, I know I don't like repeating it either, but I have to or else I might not be able to commentate, and I know you'd all just be heartbroken to lose me”

 Finul says with a smirk as his audience laughs at his sarcasm 

“Now let's get this over with, shall we? I'll explain some of the stuff you need to know for the tutorial before I introduce the system being initiated.”

 He pauses just a second and then he starts.

 “Now the thing I personally like to start off with is to explain that there are lots of different kinds of tutorials, some like kids will be automatically put into a ‘kid’ tutorial as it wouldn't exactly be fair if the system threw them into a deadly one. Meanwhile the rest of the new users will be randomly thrown into multiple types of tutorials even if they aren't suited for them.  Now there are 3 types that will be present for this tutorial, the first are maze tutorials where users have to navigate a maze full of monsters and other things, the second are tower tutorials where users have to climb towers to level up, and the third type of tutorial which is also known to be most popular with audiences is the battle royale tutorials where users have to learn to survive in different environments against monsters and other users.”

 As he finishes announcing the types of tutorials going to be present in this initiation, he can hear cheers for the battle royale and tower tutorials as they are the most popular for people to watch and also the most entertaining in the pool of tutorials the system can select. It may also help that the last tutorial 6 years ago had neither one causing much disappointment in many of the viewers. Minutes later after the crowd has mostly stopped there rambunctious cheering the drakoni starts explaining once again 

“Now the second and last thing I'm required to explain about the tutorial is the sponsorships, now I've been told that this tutorial will last 6 months, with each month consisting of 28 days. This means that every 42 days each user can have up to 5 sponsors, now for context for the newbie viewers is that the most interesting tutorials in the maze, tower and battle royale tutorials will be broadcast in the observation rooms much like this one created by the multitudes of factions and empires. Now I'll go more into depth about some of the things that can be done after the first sponsorships after the 42-day mark.  Ok folks are you ready for the introductions?!” 

Finul stands up at this as he beams at the crowd for a few seconds as projections start to flash on the screen of the system being initialized before he too turns to look at the projections. 

“Now unlike other tutorials where multiple systems were being initialized only one is being brought into the system this time. Now don't fret though because the system being initialized is called the solar system, which is home to over 8 billion sapient creatures and 5 billion partially sapient creatures. Now we’ve been told by the seers that the sapient creatures are humans just like the many that also inhabit the system” 

Another mixture of groans, cheers and even laughter can be heard from crowd at this news, as some don't really like humans, some are humans and some just find humans or the reactions of others in the crowd quite amusing 

“Some background of these particular humans is that the humans on this planet are in their 2035th counted year and are in a middle ground for industrialization. Meaning while they do have non-animal transportation, a multitude of weaponry and portal communication they have not made very many significant breakthroughs when compared to other planets pre-initialization. Now the last thing I'll tell you fine users before I’ll let you all go to your respective observation rooms although I hope you stay here with me is the name of the planet as is tradition. The name of the plant is…” 

The drakoni paused for dramatic effect as billions upon billions of sapients held their breaths in anticipation for the singular word that would come out of his mouth seconds passed in pure silence before he relented 

“The name of the planet is Earth”
