Noah woke up with a start, something felt off. When he went to sleep that night it was to the sound of a quietly running stream and the buzz of insectile nightlife. Now, however, sunlight stabbed into his eyes as he sat up. Vibrant greenery surrounded him and he felt how high the humidity was, very different from the lake district where he was originally camping.
System integration achieved

“I have stats now? Holy shit! This is amazing, hopefully the starting stats are out of 10, ‘cause if so I’m not doing so badly”
“Yes, start the tutorial please” He figured it couldn’t hurt to be polite to the seemingly all powerful disembodied voice
Defence shield activated during tutorial phase
Virtual field spinning up

The area around Noah shimmered as a what looked like a force field appeared, then in an instant everything went black
Before the system was created, two ancient yet warring civilisations existed, their technological might had spawned creations that have not seen the light of day in the minds of any being since. These civilisations waged a raging war across galaxies, the destruction was unimaginable.
Thousands of years passed, and the conflict only grew, galaxies went dark from the titanic powers the two unleashed.

Seeing the devastation caused the two met under diplomatic talks. They agreed to stop the wholesale destruction and slaughter and worked together to create the System.
The agreement between the two was such that every member old enough to hold a weapon was to be inducted into the System. This system would train warriors and every 10 years the top warrior from either side would battle.
Millenia later, here you stand Noah Clark. Neither side has agreed on a final winner of the battles and both have expanded and claim Earth as their own.
“That really doesn’t sound good”
It is not, it is an unfortunate predicament
You have been modified to accept the new rules of the system. As you struggle you will gain experience. This experience will level you up and give you new, possibly unique abilities.
You and a small portion around you have been transported to Daltomir Prime. It is a Hellworld in a solar system far from Earth.
Struggle and fight with all your might and you will survive, do not and die a short inconsequential death.
Over the millennia the ruling classes have decided to watch the struggle of newly integrated species.
Once the tutorial ends you will find a small metallic orb. It will relay your fight to the database. It will also answer basic queries.
You have also been provided with a randomly generated survival pack. The contents are suitable for your locale.
You have your first quest
Survive – Reach the civilisation shown on your map
With those last words the jungle faded back into existence and the faintly shimmering field lowered.
Sound crashed back into the clearing, primal noise assaulting his ears
“Shit.”
