“The skills are real. The game is real… Terra Nova is much more complex than you understand,”

Luke felt it difficult to breathe once Cervantez revealed the future.

He always knew that there was something more to the game that the aliens were forcing them to play; however, he never thought it could be this serious.

“What?” Luke asked in disbelief, as he opened and closed his eyes several times, just to make sure he was not hallucinating.

“Terra Nova Online is the aliens’ way of preparing us for joining their planet and their culture.

The game, it has been tailored towards us humans, it follows the same English we speak, it has the same sort of feudal system, the same animals that we know from back Earth, and only a hint of fantasy in the form of the myriad species living within.

However, if you look at it hard enough, there’s only Elves, Orcs, Beastmen, Goblins and Dragons in the name of fantasy species.

If you think hard about it, these are still the species that we know about, they are part of our folklore and what we are comfortable with.

Uptil the Arc ships showed up, we did not even believe in aliens Luke, so do you really think, there are only the fantasy species that we know as earthlings that exist in the universe?” Cervantez asked as Luke could understand the compelling point that he was making.

” It feels like a game set in a medieval world….” Cervantez continued “However, if you think about it, if the aliens can build arc ships and possess such technology to build such a profound deep-dive game, would they really be so medieval as depicted?” Cervantez said, as he stated facts that were obvious to note, however, were things that Luke never paid much attention to before.

“Let me tell you what’s going to happen, Luke.

Year 1- The skill year. This is the year they will let us interact with the game, learn its mechanics, have our fun, while giving us time to develop.

Year 2- The Asset Rush. It will be declared that controlling property within Terra Nova Online will equate to individuals owning property on the real planet Terra Nova upon landing, starting the era of asset rush and guild wars.

The skills that we learned shall be put to the test now, and the gap between mediocre and top guilds as well as top players and average players will widen.

It will also be the year that the gaming pods are introduced and by using it little by little our bodies will start to change.

Year 3 – After the third evaluation, we will enter the most important year of gaming where the main storyline of Terra Nova Online will start to unfold.

A massive war will break out all over the map of the game and every feudal lord/ guild controlling territory will be forced into participation.

It will be then that the real myriad species of the universe will be introduced to us, and Terra Nova will slowly transition into the game that it was always meant to be, with the Tutorial reaching its eventual climax.

We will be forced to fight a myriad of ugly and abhorrent fantasy species, the likes of which you would have never seen before and the likes of which shall haunt you in your nightmares for years.

However, this won’t be just a part of the game as these will turn out to be the species that they will expect us to fight when we land on our destination planet.

Yes, as promised before in year two, we will be given land upon landing on Terra Nova, however, with the land will come the responsibility of administering and protecting it.

A duty they won’t disclose that we would be forced to do upon landing until year three.

Once you see the monsters that we are supposed to face, you will realize just how dumb of a decision it will be to claim territories that are vast and wife and how the best territories to choose were always the ones at the center of the map, that were geographically hard to target.

It should also be around this time that our bodies fully sync with our gaming characters and we become stronger than what you could ever have imagined back on Earth, becoming capable of performing the same feats in reality that our characters can perform in-game.

And then finally, there’s year 4.

The climax, the year where @@#?###…..” Cervantez said, as suddenly his vocal cords stopped functioning as his bracelet issued a warning.

[Warning Passenger ‘Cervantez’, revealing events of year 4 is forbidden].

The bracelet on Cervantez’s arm said, as Cervantez silently cursed the bracelet, however, Luke did not care.

He simply clutched his head, with his eyes wide open as he could not even begin to process the information that Cervantez had just dropped on him.

It was almost too much for him to handle, as although Cervantez meant well, he was clearly weak with people skills, not realizing the extent of shock that an individual could take at once.

Luke had boarded the Arc Ship, with the hope of achieving a better life…..

His mother had literally sold her kidney to ensure that her kids would have a better shot at life, however, now that he was onboard and adrift in space he was realizing that the promise of a ‘Fresh Start’ was not all roses and sunshine as it was first presented to be.

” President Verma….. that bitch…. Of Course there was no fresh start…. How could I have been so stupid?” Luke questioned himself as his mental state deteriorated.

The fact that the bracelet stopped Cervantez from completing his sentence, suggested to Luke that whatever he was saying had to be the truth as if it was not the bracelet would have either not stopped him, or would have zapped him for spouting lies.

“Ha- what the hell have I gotten myself and my brother into?” Luke questioned, as he felt as if he was slowly losing his mind.

**********

( Meanwhile Leo )

While Luke was having his mind blown by having a chat with Cervantez, Leo was living his life watching one of his least favorite people suffer in bliss.

It turned out coincidentally that the house that Leo had gone to become a food server, actually belonged to President Verma, who was freshly demoted from Sector S to A and was apparently not happy about it at all!

Like a true politician, she had arranged a luncheon at her house almost as soon as she was demoted as she wished to fraternize with her fellow sector A individuals who were still very important people to curry favor with the community, however, while she did host the luncheon, she could absolutely not hide her disappointment at being demoted as it reflected in every sentence that she spoke.

Leo, alongside two other food servers allocated to her party, served the guests and got to listen-in on their gossip, as every time that President Verma sighed or said something that reflected her disappointment in being demoted, Leo felt extreme satisfaction as he relished every second of her downfall.
