Opening my eyes, I’m woken up a lot earlier than my alarm by the barking of the neighbours’ dogs, the little shits are always barking and howling around six or seven in the morning, most of the time I’m just too tired to notice, unfortunately the times that I do notice their howling I get up and struggle to go back to sleep, and today seems to be one of those days.

You see, I consider myself to be one of those type of people that don’t complain for the sake of don’t be complained about, I‘m pretty sure that they also had to put up with a few of my lady friends howling in the early hours of the day, so in all honesty, who would be losing in a battle of I can’t stop my dogs but you could stop your late night friends… Anyways, I’m awake, unsure of how the day is going to progress after what I consider an already bad start. Humouring myself at the thought of killing those two dogs, and I’m sorry if you are a dog lover but that’s just how I feel about them right now.

Opening the curtains of my room I realised for my dismay that it’s raining, well nothing to be upset about, after all I currently live in one of the rainiest cities in the world even though I have not always lived here. Where I’m originally from we are blessed by good weather, thinking to myself I am aware everything I did thus far has been my choice and there is nothing I would change. Opening my wardrobe I put some shorts on and a T-shirt and I head downstairs for some cereal and a coffee, aware that all my flatmates are still sound asleep upstairs I put my earphones on and play some tunes and after finishing my breakfast get ready for some morning workouts.

After forcing myself to finish the last set, panting but proud for finishing it, I think to myself, one more day I’ve managed to do it, accomplishments are still accomplishments regardless of how big they are. Still listening to music, and feeling the need to sit down for a bit, I start to think about the past couple months, recounting and re-watching the last events, where life seemed to have reached a bottom line for me, I get stuck in my own head thinking of what could I have said and done differently, sadness starts building up, realising I’m spiralling into a bad mood that likely will last me the whole day if I don’t stop these thoughts, I get up the chair where I was sat and tell myself that things are fine, and everything happens for a reason.

As soon as my thought process was finished, the most unexpected, unexplained thing happened, my vision got covered by this semi-transparent reddish screen, panicking bad, thinking I’m having some sort of stroke, or brain damage or whatever that would stop me from working. I try to sit down again just to realise by body is unmoving, and so are my eyes, the most exquisite feeling I’ve had ever felt.

It takes a few seconds for me to go back to a functioning state. Although I can’t move, or blink, or anything for that matter it doesn’t feel uncomfortable. It’s like some sort of sleep paralysis where you are already awake, but your body isn’t responsive, and I would have thought just that if it wasn’t for the screen in front of my eyes.

Denizens of Earth, your Planet is going through the Integration of the System, a new Beginning for all life on Earth.

The system aims to shape people’s life’s through conflict with the assistance of what can be called Essence. Within Essence you can find all knowledge necessary to thrive, in any area of your liking.

Essence will be in everything and everywhere.

As part of the process, which will happen in 3 stages, explained below.

Changes will take effect immediately, as the following states:

1st. Selected Denizens will be reallocated to an Impervious Zone a Tutorial of sorts, given the difficulty selected.

(Easy, Moderate, Normal, Hard, Extreme)

The Tutorial for those who were selected and accept it will have a duration of 3 months, where you spawn will be randomized, you might or might not encounter other denizens, chances depend on difficulty, difficulty also changes duration of the safe zone, and monsters around, etc…

more information…

2nd. Earth will be stripped of all its buildings, technology and creations so far, adopting only system created ones, geography will remain the same.

You will spawn exactly where you are at the moment, excepted for those going to the Tutorial.

Some of Earth diseases will be cured, others intensified.

The system will provide you only appropriate clothing when you spawn again.

For the first month you’ll be able to access the Market without a town

On the second day monsters will start spawning.

Children under the age of eight won’t have access to the system

Some Essence will be given to those who stay for equipment.

Fauna and Flora will change.

etc…

Denizens not selected for the tutorial or that have chosen to stay on earth will be granted a big discount whilst accessing the market on anything related to development of towns, technology, weapons, armours, farming, etc…

more information…

3rd. Earth has a 10 years period time for growth, the habitants then will be teleported to an Infinite World with different races who have gone through the Integration of the System. All huma buildings and creations won’t be lost as they will be teleported as well, everyone will arrive at the same time in this Infinite Planet.
