Changes | Final part
Moris was walking the streets. Aizen asked him to buy the new VR, so he came. Aizen did not like to leave the house.
The city looked peaceful today, People walked the streets with a smile on their faces. Glider cars carried passengers to their destination. Other people walked as they stared at the floating screen in front of them. Augmented reality. People nowadays don't use Smartphones anymore, even though TV still exists (with augmented reality). Walking a little further, you could see humans with mechanical body parts, such as arms and legs.
City:

After walking for a few more minutes, Moris arrived in front of a building with more than 200 floors.
"Welcome to DoMinus center, what do you want?" The receptionist greeted Moris
"I want the newest VR model from DoMinus, the most comfortable version possible. White color. Besides, I also want all kinds of Supplements, the best possible quality."
"Okay, the total is 1.7 million Zen." Zen is the local currency.
"Here it is." After paying, Moris get the supplements. Supplements serve to keep a person's body healthy during the game. This is not necessary for anyone playing with the first VR, as it is only connected with the brain. The second VR is connected with the person's entire body.
After waiting a moment, he received the VR. Moris didn't open the VR because he knew Aizen wanted to see it firsthand. He paid for a glider car and took the VR home.

Aizen looked at the giant box in front of him. The new VR looked cool, when he opened the box, he saw what the new VR looked like.
The VR looked like a coffin (format), but much prettier. White with golden ornaments.
'The supplements serve to enhance the rejuvenating effect and make your body healthy.'

Supplements do not affect game mechanics or anything like that. They were just things that very rich people would buy to feel more comfortable and increase the rejuvenating effect, but they wouldn't help any further.
The new VR wouldn't change the game mechanics either. Players who want to play on the old VR will not be harmed at all.
'These guys don't want to go easy on the rich.' Of course, the rich will always have an advantage, however minimal. However, other players could easily make up for it.
Now that the currency exchange system has been added, players will be able to make the game their profession. As the exchange system only enables the player to convert the game currency to real money, the rich will not be able to take advantage of it again.
After installing the new VR in his room, he decided to get back into the game. When he entered VR, he felt his body taking the supplements.
'Link Start.'
-
While Aizen was at stake, the world was a little turbulent. The Arcane Universe had a gigantic explosion of new players. The second batch of VR sold out within hours. The number of players already exceeds 1 billion. That's a huge milestone. With the arrival of new players en masse, things within the game will start to change. Who would be affected by these changes? What will come from now on?

FÓRUM:
>Fame and Honor | Hot topic☆
>Hi, it's me, Haz. You're tired of seeing me, aren't you? Well... in today's thread, I'm going to explain about Honor and Fame. I spent many traveling between cities and ended up noticing interesting things. I found unique quests that require a certain level of Fame and Honor to accept them. Furthermore, I also witnessed a change in the behavior of NPCs towards players who had a certain level of Honor and Fame.

>After spending some more time trying to get information, I found that Fame and Honor can influence missions, business, the way you are seen, etc. It may seem small, but this is VERY important because Guilds or players with high Fame and Honor can even select special quests in the adventurers' guild, if available.
>The last information I discovered is a bit confusing. As I said, Fame and Honor influence the way people look at you. I found out about… the official guild and team system
Players who read the Haz thread felt that this guy just dropped an atomic bomb on the gaming community.
—The official guild system
That was the atomic bomb.
The official guild system had yet to be discovered. Guilds were still guilds and such; however, they could not enjoy all the functions that an officially recognized guild had. The first one was communication.
Guilds communicated with players (mass communication) through the real world. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't practical.
The second and main problem was recognition. Guilds created by players were not recognized as guilds by NPCs, therefore they could not do guild quests that are requested by NPCs, buy land on behalf of the guild, etc.
When a guild was officially recognized, it would unlock the teleport function. Players could teleport to the bases created by the guild. This function is extremely important, especially in wars.
Buying land on behalf of the guild is also very important. Guilds need money to support themselves. Currently, they were going through a rough patch, most of the members didn't even have decent equipment. Why not build restaurants or stores to sell your items? Guilds often have useless gear, but it would be useful for low-level players.
—Our Heroes
Our Heroes, So what people call groups of adventurers. Our Heroes are people who decided to form a group to help each other, explore, and complete quests without having to join a guild and sign a bunch of contracts. They are much freer.
In Arcane Universe, solo players are growing quite fast. What would happen if they created groups to go head-to-head with guilds? Many players prefer to join adventurous groups than guilds.
The main difference between a group of adventurers and a guild is the freedom and number of members. Adventurer groups don't have as many members as a guild.
Our Heroes can also use the teleport function in their bases, communication, etc.
>I found out that for the system to officially recognize a guild, you need a token. This token can be acquired in many ways, by quests, Boss Drop, or pure luck. Well, I wish you all the best of luck.
Haz finished his post.
Guild leaders were elated when they read the post. They urgently needed this Token. The first guilds that get the Token will have advantages. A guild needs expansion. Needs to grow up. This Token was just the beginning of his goals.

The White Rabbit
In the Urillian Empire, the Empress Xandra rules three-quarters of the planet Xren from her home in the capital of the Earth Continent. Both the fire and water peoples have fallen under her might after a series of wars stretching back three centuries. Earth elves, under Xandra's rule, have spread throughout the planet and established colonies, and are, by all accounts, enjoying what seems to be a prosperous and happy existence. But not everyone in Uril is happy. The holy books speak of elves as the Chosen People of Thesis, tasked with guiding and protecting the lower races. For some people, this scripture has been interpreted to designate their life as one on the lowest rungs of society. Humans have been reduced to a slave class, and serve their elven masters under Xandra's rule, kept at bay by the constant fear of the dreaded Emerald Knight, and their own perceived weakness. Humans do not lead long lives, nor do they possess the wisdom, power, or magical acumen of their elven masters. But there is hope. A group of people have banded together to fight against Xandra, her Knight, and her empire. They call themselves the "Knights of Order" united under the principle idea that Xandra's reign has brought chaos unto Xren, and they wish to restore order. These Knights are led by a man named Xaxac Brigaddon, spoken of as a legend. They say that when the moons are full, some humans transform into powerful beasts. They say that Xaxac is the most powerful warrior on Xren, that in his youth he was enslaved and forced to fight other humans to the death in a bloodsport called "cage fighting", that he could not be touched and held the world championship title for three years running until he faked his own death and escaped his master to join the resistance. They say that he has friends in high places- noblemen, pirates, and the devil himself. They say that if you can find him, he can ferry you to freedom in places where the Earth Elves fear to tread. They say that he is immune to magical attack, and his eyes shine like the silver moon. They say that he is descended from Quizlivian Brigaddon, one of the humans who helped the demon Magnus escape a god. They say that if you want to walk the Path of Order, you should follow the White Rabbit.Come and watch the transformation from human boy to Knight of Order: The life and times of Xaxac OfAgalon OfLangil Brigaddon. Content Warning: This work is based on the real experiences of human trafficing survivors. Xaxac's origins are based on true events, and they are presented realisitcally; this includes but is not limited to: isolation, gaslighting, emotional and sexual abuse, and grooming tactics. This work is meant to hold a mirror up to society; it is based on the real of experiences of people who have experienced slavery and/or abuse. It is an adult work and probably should not be read by anyone under the age of 18. If you are a survivor of human trafficing and/or abuse, your feedback is welcome, but please do not read this if you think it may trigger your trauma. I did not write this with the intention of harming anyone, but rather to provide accurate representation for a group that does not normally get it in the hopes of changing the zeitgeist. I would like to see a world where more people understand what these experiences are like, so that real survivors do not have to deal with microagressions from an ignorant public. Reader discretion is highly advised.

Teddy Bear
As it would stand, the truth of the matter was that aliens had visited Earth before. Roswell was neither a hoax nor unique. It was simply a consequence of a world growing smaller as communication systems became more and more advanced, partly a result of said visitations. For the most part, past interactions between one of the planet Earth's more intelligent species of lifeform and the alien visitors were along the lines of obscure scientific surveys and tests disturbingly similar to attempts by some human scientists to estimate the intelligence of simians.For any species capable of travelling the stars. Visiting planet Earth made about as much sense as backpacking through the Ural Mountains of Siberia with nothing but a flint and a compass. That is to say, most people would prefer to stay close to someplace within walking distance of a mall or a population density slightly higher than four sapient beings per parsec. Still, statistically speaking, there are bound to be some weirdos who find joy rides though a nowhere solar system fun. Just buzzing a frantic farmer or two and playing chicken with an F-16 for the heck of it. Maybe even bring home a bovine to show off to the guys at the office.
