Arc I - New Beginnings
[Chapter 3 : Entering Another World]
As I sent out the email I started to create vivid imagery with the powers of mine it felt natural to show how it would work and using my energy the system would help me translate that into this world.
Very first thing is to create the game menu UI it cannot be too overwhelming for all users. {} Will mean section is open and [] means that is closed so they can optimize how they want their UI to look like to a certain extent.

I finally finished creating the UI for the player menus. I think I am quite reasonable with the all the restrictions. Now onto the another game menu for settings.
When walking around the player will have their username over their head along with a diamond white transparent 3D object next to the end of their name.
♢
The diamond transparent object will turn more and more red when the player PK's or kills non-red named NPC's. They will have multiple ways of resetting it:
1. Wait out for it to slowly turn to white
2. Use cloaking items to hide status
3. Repent/Remove status
4. Die and Respawn
Also they need to be able to change their pain value setting.
=== Settings === Pain Value ||||| 5% Body Protection [X] - Full Safe Mode (does not allow skin to skin contact with other users)
[_] - Friends (allows user's in friends list to have skin contact)
[_] - No Barrier Visual Censorship [X] - Full Safe Mode (any skin revealing outfit will be replaced with standard outfit)
[_] - Risky (allow some skin revealing but no full nudity)
[_] - No Barrier Gore [X] - No blood
[_] - Blood but no guts
[_] - Realism Audio Censorship [X] - Full Safe Mode (no swears of any kind or any mature words)
[_] - No Barrier (extreme swears/verbal attacks will still result in a ban)
There I think I have included all the important aspects inside a full body VR game. And for minors who play this game they cannot change those settings until they have reached that age so teenage they can have the middle choice unlocked and when they become adults they can have the final option open.
Of course blood will turn into red pixels after all I still want some blood arts or skills in the game therefore they have to deal with red square pixels in place of blood. And another restriction to minors is the pain value they cannot change it while teens can change up to 20% and adults have free choice.
I will have the message show up after they choose their class and enter the world before they open their eyes. After all I do not need certain destructive people I need all of humanity to survive I am fine with those who like to be red players. Now it is time to create the starting village!
Our first place should be an open field waking up on the nice soft grassy bed to find themselves placed in the wild, travelling for a bit they might find a settlement or a small village. I am aiming for an MMORPG type of VR game where people can partake in combat to gain stronger and if they don't want to there are other sorts of aspects as well.
After all learning to fight is an important skill but we are aiming to teach survival that is why there will be multiple types of dungeons and challenges to test humanity's skill in survival.
Now that I have the main points down lets detail the first area, since we only have 100 players we can have them all start at the same place after we start gaining traction I am thinking of restarting them all in a fully fleshed out world saying that the game is now out of beta.
"We have our first user joining the world after you are done with setting up the starting location."
"Perfect, I am almost done and for the barrier let's make it an indestructible fog around this island of theirs. Now since we have our first players but first how did you get the machine to them so quickly?"
"... Shipping."
"Nice! Well then we should get this going!"
I was sculpting this starting location if I were to describe it then it would be a massive island. This will be their first survival exercise at first I thought to have a village but then they would learn survival skills or the instinct. Therefore I choose to send them on this deserted island all 100 beta testers together with no goal but a system.

The Essence of Cultivation
After experiencing five years of an adventurer's life, Arcanist Sylar Wershin now spends his days catching up on developments in Essence Studies and teasing apart the functions of arcane trinkets and artifacts discovered by him and his companions throughout their time travelling the realms of Resham. An unexpected accident during the study of his latest subject of intrigue, however, displaces him across the Planes beyond what any known spell is capable of achieving. Now finding himself lost in a realm rich in previously-limited Transcendental Essences, however, does he truly even want to return back to his old world? If nothing else, plagiarising - ahem, learning new spell structures by observing the local mages should prove entertaining. Sure, there were new dangers in this foreign world, but they wouldn't be anything a fancy bit of spellwork couldn't solve. Though, he would appreciate it greatly if someone could explain to him just what this 'cultivation' business was, why the local Mages were all muscle-brained freaks obsessed with immortality, and why they all seemed to lack any appreciation for the finer details of Essence manipulation. That would be nice.

Gruff
Five years ago, the whole country knew Howl as the face of a national public safety initiative that encouraged kids to say no to drugs, keep away from firearms, and not talk to strangers. He had just made a dramatic exit from the corrupt pit of the Hot Type City Police Department and kicked off his own private investigative agency. He was geared up to start helping people for real. Then some punk put Howl’s nephew in the dirt, and everything came to a screeching halt. Now, after a long downward spiral, Howl is one half-empty bottle of scotch away from complete destitution. His shot at redemption comes just in time when a former model struts off the page of a golden-age girlie mag and into his office. Her missing son’s disappearance knocks Howl back into a world full of the drugs, guns, and predators he wasted his youth fighting. This time it will be different. He’s got nothing to lose but something to prove. This time, he will win.
