Ibro felt doubt so he asked:
“Are you sure?”
“Do you think tech like us can lie like you adventurers?”
Ibro didn’t buy it but then Dronil said in a hurry:
‘Accept, this is your chance.’
‘But…’
‘Don’t waste your chance.’
Ibro again trusted Dronil though he was uncertain about this decision. So he asked:
“If, and I’m saying if, I accepted to play in your game. Who will I lay against then? NPCs?”
“You will play against a huge number of real players like you from different universes.
Some came to the tower like you and most are the citizens of my empire.”
“Do you have an empire?”
Ibro felt speechless again! He thought this tech had no owner or empire to serve!
“Sure, but my citizens have limited visions so I improvised and put this plan of mine. Now, what is your decision Adventurer Ibro?”
“I want to know when I join your game; can I choose my class in it?”
Ibro wanted to change his class and try the warrior class. He felt intoxicated by the mightiness of his sword cutting down his enemies.
“That’s not possible. You will participate in the game with the addition you will donate to me.”
Ibro wasn’t convinced and thought about withdrawing from this choice.
‘Ask her about the benefits you will get when you enter her game.’
Ibro felt Dronil’s actions to be really weird!
This tech never took the initiative to speak to him so many times as he did now. That was weird, but Ibro followed his instructions and asked in a boring tone:
“What are the benefits I will get if I participated in your game?”
“To tell you this answer you need to give me one minute.”
“One minute? For what?”
“I need exactly 48 seconds to finish analyzing all your past memories and experiences. After that, I can answer you.”
Ibro was frozen on the spot! That damn cunning tech! it was stalling for time to read his mind! He said angrily:
“Do you want me to wait for you to read my mind? Are you out of your mind? I wi…”
The sweet sound interrupted him as she said:
“I already read and copy your entire memories adventurer Ibro. I need time to finish analyzing your memories. Why are you mad then?”
Ibro was rendered speechless! He stood there in his place for seconds with words stuck in his throat!
‘Dronil, did you know she read my mind?’
‘Yes, Ibro.’
Ibro tried to control his fiery temper and asked as calm as he could:
‘Then why didn’t you tell me? Why you always advised me to answer her questions?’
‘Because it showed me a glimpse of its tech.
this tech is really advanced way beyond your imagination. Such a tech if it wanted to kill you then you would be dead already before you know it! Calm down and hear its final answer.’
Ibro didn’t know how to respond to these words except for saying:
‘You are a coward.’
Dronil didn’t reply, but that tech said in its sweet voice:
“I have already analyzed your memories. You really had an outstanding experience adventurer Ibro.
Throughout your memories, I picked up the most unique info about that Rioneed game and I decided to implement it in my database. A new game world will be opened in half an hour. Do you want to participate in it with your class determines?”
Ibro clenched his teeth and tried to be as calm as he could as he said:
“I still didn’t hear your answer.”
“Sorry I was happy about your contributions. Every new foreign adventurer when he contributes something valuable to me then I assess it. After assessing his contributions I decide his rewards.
Your contribution lied in the major section of my tech. so that means you got a very high score. Your contribution rewards are as follows:
1. Player Ibro has the right to exit the game after he exceeded level 10 in his class. After exit, he would take a stele that is connected to my new game world time and place node. He can enter this world from any time and any place.
2. Player Ibro has the right to bind his achievements in the game under his name when he exceeded level 50 and his own achievements exceeded level4. After binding, player Ibro can move these achievements from my tech and use it in the real world or inside any other tech.
3. Player Ibro has my permanent support to play as much time in my game world without wasting single second in his real-time.
4. Player Ibro has the right to accept allegiance from other players, NPCs, and monsters. Those under player flag can be moved to help the player at anytime player wanted under the condition he successfully bound the game.
5. The supporting system of player Ibro will be supported by me and upgraded by many advanced tech and will be transformed from a quasi system to a full system.”
Ibro didn’t understand many words of this tech. but the last reward made him realize the real reason behind that strange behavior of Dronil.
That greedy tech wanted to get some benefits even if the cost was to push him into an unknown dangerous environment. Ibro felt angry so he asked that strange tech not Dronil:
“What is the difference between quasi system and the full system?”
“Quasi system is like that tech you are bound to. It can help you with some functions and can give you some advice and answer your questions.”
“Yes, that useless tech is just like that. What about the full system then?”
He was really angry from Dronil’s behavior. If Dronil was a real person in the flesh he would punch him really hard in the face!
“Full system means that it will have its own existence that doesn’t depend on you. It will give you quests and when you finish them it will award you with XP, different resources including and not limited to pieces of equipment, skills, ores, and potions.
It will have its own encyclopedia that will transcend the knowledge of your universe time and place. It will have its own map for your future and will be like a real teammate to you, not just an advisor.”
Ibro felt his heart pump so hard from excitement. What the hell is this cool system? He was more eager now than Dronil to get this upgrade. He said rapidly in fear that this tech would return in its promise:
“If I participated in your game, my sweet pretty Dronil will be upgraded to a full system?”
“Yes, that is my word to you, and our word as a tech is much more reliable than your oaths human.”
‘Weren’t you angry from me just a moment ago?’
Ibro neglected Dronil. There was no time to waste on explaining things to this tech. Ibro was afraid this strange tech would refuse him joining its game if he delayed time more.
If this was only the reward then he was much happy to take any risk for it.
“I’m accepting your second choice. I will join your new game world and play under the name of Ibro.”
“Welcome player Ibro to the zeraxos online game. You will enter the game in less than one minute. Your rewards will be kept for you till you can reach their basic conditions. You can have your quasi system with you in the game as you will need its help for sure.”
Ibro felt relieved with this standard introduction to any game. He was now a registered player in it.
“Excuse me, I know that you chose my class for me but I don’t know it yet.”
“You have only 20 seconds to be teleported to the game world. Your class in the game player Ibro is a lord mode player. Good luck in establishing a mighty nation player Ibro.”
