Unlucky?Player Chapter 72

"It's a pleasure to have you with us, Mr.Reed, as you know it's been a few months since the VRMMORPG, Genesis2076 took the world by storm and is currently being played by almost half the population, of course, this is common information. Before we continue with the interview, would you like to say anything to the audience watching at home?"
"Ah, yes of course, first and foremost, I would like to thank everyone who has taken time out of their day to try out Genesis, I realize it is a game like no other, and calling it another reality wouldn't be an understatement but I would like to ask each and every one of you to play reasonably and not overexert yourself," Reed said with a smile.
"A wonderful reminder! as expected of the head of the development team of KYOJIN! now then, everyone the moment you've been waiting for, Mr.Reed is now going to be answering questions regarding Genesis and the recent events.
Mr.Reed, What advice do you have for new players and how would you suggest people approach the game? " the reporter asked.
"Well, I can't tell anyone how to approach the game but my advice to the beginners or new players would be, to not forget the most important factor of the game which is the fact that the world of Genesis just like the players, is constantly evolving and changing. Just like how players are affected by their own and others' actions, Genesis too adapts, improvises, and overcomes any problem." Reed said slowly and clearly so people don't forget what he said.
"Interesting, I hope everyone watching caught what Mr.Reed said if not you can watch the video on our website, 'Box News'," the Reporter said with a greedy smile.
'What a cheap plug....these reporters as always acting like blood-sucking mosquitoes,' Reed thought as he looked at the reporter and waited for the next question.

"Now then, onto the next question. Mr.Reed, what do you think about the classes and the classes available after the first ascension?"
"Most of this is public knowledge but just in case people have their doubts I'll clear it once and for all, the basic classes one can choose in the beginning are called primary classes and other than the primary 5 there are also 4 other hidden classes that can be acquired, these classes are called hidden primary classes.
It's important to note that all classes are special in their own way, of course, hidden primary classes would have an edge over other classes in the beginning but that is to be expected, if you haven't taken the risk, you certainly do not deserve the reward.
The balance of the game was naturally taken into consideration, allowing those with just the basic classes to be able to catch up after the first ascension, of course, anything can happen, keep in mind, KYOJIN has a no interference policy which means everything that happened so far is only because of certain actions that players took. Hidden class-change or hidden class quests are only available after the first ascension, anything that happens outside this boundary should be considered an easter egg or a special event," Reed said with a smile as he dropped information that could potentially be worth millions.
"Uh...Mr.Reed, could you please explain what you meant by the last sentence?"
When the reporter asked this he was hoping that Reed would explain what he meant as the last sentence was game-changing but Reed just slightly smiled and remained silent. Understanding his intention the reporter couldn't help but exhale and move onto the next question.
"Mr.Reed, players and families all over the world are claiming that KYOJIN is helping a specific player, and of course, this player in question is 'Night', KYOJIN has denied all such claims but player Night's actions and feats aren't something possible, especially since everyone had an equal start,"

Reed couldn't help but slightly laugh when he heard the reporter say that everyone had an equal start, he couldn't imagine the reporter's horrid reaction once he found out about Night's start which was most definitely horrible.
".....Is there something that player Night is doing that makes him stand out so much?" the reporter asked while slightly frowning as he noticed Reed giggle.
"All I can tell you is that Night has no ties with KYOJIN, and so far player Night has just been playing casually. That is all I wish to say about this topic," Reed said.
'Casually? what the f*ck? doesn't that mean he wasn't even trying?' the reporter thought and as if Reed could read his mind, he responded before any misunderstanding could be created.
"Don't misunderstand me, all I meant by that is that so far he has been playing the game how HE wanted to play the game, he didn't force himself to do anything he didn't want to," Reed continued.
"O-of course....there remains only one more question and that is, what should we, the audience expect from the event in Montreal, especially since this is a world event and is KYOJIN's first event for Genesis,"
"Well, that's quite simple..." Reed started while slightly bending forward.
"Expect entertainment, at the end of the day, Genesis was made for entertainment, of course, we do have events planned out for the audience but I don't want to spoil the event so I'll stop there."

"Zeus..."
"What do you want??!" Hades growled.
"Hmmm....can't say I was expecting a warm receiving...tch," Zeus said as he continued to step forward, slowly revealing his features.
He had white hair that resembled the purest of lightning, he wore a white chiton with the lighting symbol coming out from both the shoulders, every step he took, sparks could be seen flying off from the ground, his eyes were a mix of white, blue and violet. Within his eyes Lightning constantly danced around, it was as if his eyes were a separate dimension. Zeus wasn't as bulky as people thought he was but he certainly wasn't scrawny, it was rumored that he enhanced his body and drove it to perfection after striking himself with a million lightning bolts.
He walked with his hands behind his back and his beard that reached his chest, he continued until he was right in front of Hades,
"Brother, you certainly won't plot against me now would you?" Zeus asked while slightly frowning, of course, Hades was aware that he was just acting.
"Tch, don't get so close, and who do you think you're threatening? this isn't the sky for you to be flaunting your power, this is my region, my domain, my f*cking kingdom, and since you abandoned me here, I can do whatever it is I wish to do so don't go bossing me around, do not mistake me for those other 'Olympians', I don't owe you anything. Now, if there's nothing you need, you can leave." Hades said as he snapped out of his confusion.
"Interesting... you've certainly grown brother, very well, I shall take my leave then.... until next time brother," Zeus said before disappearing, leaving behind only a few sparks in the air.

Humanity's End
Given a year to prepare by the mysterious ‘system’ for contact with the wider galaxy, humanity must work to ensure the Earth’s defense is ready to meet any challenge. Sadly, most of the world seems dedicated to tearing itself apart as the year-end deadline gets closer. The west is in barely contained Chaos, while the east descends into internal conflict and war. The Pillar Forts, one of the few successful projects of the United Nations headed by the United States, stand ready to defend humanity against any invasion that may come through the strange Connection Pillars that appeared on each continent. Massive steel and stone walls that surround the Connection Pillars. They are filled with deadly men and women trained in all manner of warfare, each trained in the newly acquired System with skills and magical abilities that they put to deadly purpose. Beside these brave warriors, tanks, helicopters, artillery and more stand ready to defend humanity at each of these powerful installations. But, can they overcome the disparity in levels and experience between themselves and the forces that threaten them and the rest of humanity? Main Characters Jessica Brown- A young African American girl. Her 18th birthday in Detroit was the same day the systems message appeared. She discovered she was Level 7, much higher than most of the rest of the world. Why she is blessed, or cursed, with the power she doesn’t know. But what she does know is that she rather likes the feeling that comes with manipulating magic. The week after her birthday, government workers started testing every person in the US in a massive census effort of skills and abilities. Jessica Brown found herself conscripted into the US Magical Corp, a new branch of the US Military, and shipped off to a Pillar Fort. Somewhere hot and muggy in her ancestors’ home of Africa. As she grows stronger, she finds she has some connection to the pillars. While everyone else sees beauty or danger when they look at the pillars, after connection is made all Jessica can see is a Tree. A tree the size of the entire universe. Isaka Smith - is a third generation American and farmer who just wants to be left alone. But she is dragged into the situation by events beyond her control. When people in her small town had to deal with rioters and looters after the system announcement, she rallied them to defend themselves, earning her a trait that the government found extraordinarily useful. After a visit to a local reservation, she finds herself conscripted to lead one of the many small support towns erected around the great pillar forts. Not near her old home, but in far-flung Africa. John McIntire, the “Fighting Bull” -The commander of the African Fort, but because of circumstances beyond his ability to contend with shortly after taking command after being re-activated from retirement, he finds communication with his chain of command increasingly difficult. The US government, hell, even the United Nations, seems to have fallen into complete and utter chaos. The African Union is embroiled in a bitter civil war just outside his door, and supposedly, most of the world governments are in similar situations. Meanwhile, John must do his best to be ready to facilitate diplomacy, or to match the hostile argument of whatever force might come through the pillar of light when the year timer finishes counting down. Can our heros defend Earth from outside threats, while it tares itself apart? Or will they need to rebuild from the ground up? DEDICATION: This story is dedicated to my father who passed away recently. Jim Holloway, you’ll be missed you old silverback gorilla. Love you dad. Always have, always will.

Chimera
Eleanor meant the world to Titus. So when an opportunity to bring her murderer to justice appears, Titus jumps on the chance. His quest, however, would mean traversing the dangerous world of Nivandor, a land infested with monsters, night hunters, and corrupt kings–nothing he and his lord, Lady Priscilla, couldn't handle. Their plans change, however, when both of them are dragged into a nightmare realm, a dimension filled with strange and powerful terrors unlike any they've ever faced. Titus's skill as a kinetic mage is put to the ultimate test as he must work with his lord to fight off the increasingly dangerous monsters that hunt them as they hunt down the three remaining Seraph lords sustaining the Nightmare. For only when the final Seraph lord is slain will the Nightmare truly end. --- Happy Holidays! I tried to get a chapter out this month, but there was just too much stuff to do and I got sick. There will also be more stuff to do come the month of December to the point that I don't think I will have a chance to finish the current story arc on a strong note. So, as of today, I will be going on hiatus until the holidays are over. I will hopefully return with the last few chapters of book 2 as well as the DLC chapters to help clarify Titus and Priscilla's powers as well as a look into their lives before the story gets crazy (maybe 6-7 chapters). These chapters are planned to take place in the day between Chapter 1.4 & Chapter 1.5, detailing the day they had before going to Nivandor. How the DLC chapters will be titled is to be decided. The DLC chapters will be posted here free as usual. Really excited to get a break so I can catch up on chapters. Even more excited to be able to start book 3 once the current story arc is finished. Warmly, Daniel --- Disclamer: This story is not a finished product and will be undergoing changes, sometimes significant changes, as the story develops. Think of it as an early access story where nothing is fully set in stone. If I change a part of the story that you really love, I'm sorry, but changing one part of the story will affect the other parts I try to avoid major changes, especially in older chapters, but for the newer ones there will probably be more fine tuning. As for anyone invested in the story who is not happy with the way the story is going, feel free to DM me so I can get feedback. I want to know how you guys feel about the story, what changes I can make, at what point in the story I may have lost you. But until I get specific feedback, I won't know what changes might need to be made. There are about 14 chapters left for Part 2 of Chimera, give or take. I don't have a time frame for when they will be up but know I am chipping away at the chapters as I can. Warm Regards, Daniel --- Cover art credit goes to Brosedesignz, who has an awesome selection of both premade and custom book covers at great prices on her website. She can also be found at thebookcoverdesigner.com, which is where I found my cover.
