《Tremors Of Time: Spirit Gauntlet》Prologue
Advertisement
I watch as my 19 brothers and my father take turns entertaining the audience with a speech on an intensely decorated podium. There are so many games left unfinished that could be done in this time I thought to myself as a sigh escaped from me. For real why are there so many investors coming to the 30th anniversary of a Real estate company? Did they have nothing else to do or is it they heard multi-millionaire, 20 siblings and their gold digger of a wife begged them to come here. For the second time in the last minute, I sighed.
Here I was going to play Choices Online when my Dad asks me to be in a party, more like forced when I about said no he threatened to cut all of my cards. Another Sigh comes and like its predecessors comes out in a dramatic exit. With Me slouching down and my eyes closed. I wish Patito he always has some funny thing to say about my dumb remarks. Looking around in boredom the party was in a luxurious mansion rented out for things like these. The Gold miners dressed in their sexiest outfits looked quite nice if I do say so, but even that did not relieve me of my boredom.
I start remembering the interview I watched just a few days ago, It was about Choices online and some features I think. I try my best to create a flashback to the show.
I remember there was a guy that was talking I can't remember his face though. He probably said this, Ladies and gentlemen today will be the first-ever release of Choices online made by the company Arron they have hyped upped this game like conspiracies on memes. Now if you will please welcome Mr.Kin CEO of Arron.
Without a doubt he definitely had the conspiracies on memes part, right?
Then when that guy said his part a handsome Arab man that the gold diggers must wish for in their dreams appeared on TV. The CEO then said the customary greeting and then the announcer started to ask some questions.

"Mr.Kin sorry getting straight to the point but on some of our interview with you before you've mentioned that your next game which is Choices Online will have new and exciting features that will mark the virtual games of this century," Said the announcer with a twinkle of anticipation in his eyes.
That's probably what he did right, anyway, then the CEO started avoiding the subject but at the last few minutes, the announcer finally convinced him to spill the deets.
"I got to say your one-touch nut to crack, but come on it's gonna be out in just a few days. Some basic things are not gonna affect anybody just spill the deets," Said the announcer with a frustrated voice.
DId the announcer say spill the deets, probably not oh well. I had to spend another 5 minutes trying to remember what Mr. Kin said.
"well yes I suppose I should, you know you are a really good at convincing people, but anyway. Choices online have new features that have never come on the market such as players can play it while asleep, 1 to 3-time ratio and especially the ai we have made are extremely lifelike. So lifelike in fact that some of the beta testers fell in love with some of them.
Damn when I think about it, people actually fell in love with an NPC. "That's genuinely horrifying" I though shivering. That's like a present-day Romeo and Juliet.
"Excluding the new features what makes your game unique and as you have said before a hit," Said the announcer not getting the spills he wanted.
Holy crap did the announcer wants his answers that bad, I mean like for real. I'm glad I paid attention to this part or I would have completely forgotten about what the CEO said.
"The reason I think no I know that this will become a hit is because of the reason this game was named choices online. In this game you will have limitless possibilities and the choices you make will either break or make you in this game. For example, once you have logged in you can pick either the unlocked species such as humans elves and beastmen, those will stay the same until further races are unlocked, or you can try your luck on the random race. Random races are races that can't be unlocked such as plants, living armor, and even dungeons. Things that usually don't have sentience." said Mr.Kin in a long rant.

I do remember that the announcer wasn't finished with Mr.Kin and almost kept trying to convince him. Sadly for the viewers and the announcer Mr.Kin said we only had 30 seconds left of the show and they stopped it then. I wish they didn't then maybe I would have something to think about. Well, that's the best I could I do with a few hours of training wanking it with only imagination.
"Alex it's your turn," said one of my brothers Keith, while elbowing me breaking me out of my thoughts.
"Okay, I'm going," I said going up the stage. My dad waiting there with a speech written for me. Well if they call my dad something it definitely won't be unprepared.
I clear my throat and begin my speech. "Hello, there ladies and gentlemen can I just say how beautiful you ladies are tonight," I say in a charismatic tone met with a roar of applause. "You came here in the middle of your busy time and gave us such a warm party and for that, I can only say thank you." The fake complements continued and the speech which only last for 2 minutes talked exaggeratedly about rising stock value, we will be the new rulers of the 22XX century, and etc.
After 2 hours the party really began and a free food buffet was offered to everybody there. It was a tempting offer to stay for the food but do I really want a picture of my stuffing my face on the internet. So I chose to leave in a Mercedes bought by yours truly. TOTALLY unexpected my so-called father and brothers didn't care.
So I got into my car and in 30 minutes I'm halfway home.
RING RING RING RING RING RING RING RING
I answer the call with the Bluetooth in my car.
"Hello this is Alex Wiler, may I ask who is this," I say to the caller.
"Dude it's me and I have some big news, it'll blow your mind," said the caller in an excited tone.
" Oh crap Patrick how the hell are you and what this about news did you win the lottery," I said gratefully to not be alone with my thoughts.
”The wishing well dosent have enough power to give me a lottery but for real the company that created choices online has released the tutorial right now and in a hour the game will be on. So get your ass here, bye I’ll see ya later but now I got a date with my gaming addiction,” said Patito with a rushed voice and as he stopped the call
This event then led me to an event of saying Fuck yes for thirty minutes and rushing into my room. Looking at my virtual reality drive latest model I get in the machine and tell the Alis the npc controlling the machine to take me into the game.
