《Ley World-The Game》Chapter 38
Advertisement
2 days had passed since Ley World's official release, and millions were waiting for Gorden Co's official statements to be made. The general populous of the political, scientific, gaming, and athletic communities were all sat inside of the massive Gorden Stadium. Built a few months before Ley World's release, it was meant to be an area for interviews, general statements, and competitions.
Today was it's first day in operation, and it was packed to the full. Over 175,000 people were sat around the seats, hundreds of news crews aiming their camera's at the stage, waiting for Felix Gorden to come out.
Seated closest to the stage were the important figures. Politicians, well-renowned scientists, a representative from the Olympic Committee.
They were all here waiting for one thing. Knowledge about how the game affected people's bodies in real life. Many believed it was impossible, some wanted to see if it was possible to exploit it. Other wanted to know how major of an impact it had.
The tension inside the stadium was high, everyone silently waiting for Felix to come out. Cameras flashed, people stirred, drones flew overhead, the stadium was in a mode of chaos.
Amidst all this, a short man, close to 160cm in height, with fading black hair, an unkempt beard, walked up to the podium.
Tapping on the microphone a few times to get everyones attention, he spoke.
"Hello everyone! My name is Kod Wrake. I would like if you could all calm down, as Mr. Gorden will be appearing here within the minute. Thank you all for your support!"
His voice boomed, and like a wave, silence spread around the stadium. He got off the podium and sat down on one of the chairs on the stage, looking towards the opening where Felix Gorden would be coming through.

Finally, he walked through. A middle-aged black man, roughly 185cm. He had short, slicked back hair, and a tidy beard. He was well built, the contours of his body showing through the grey suit he wore. If anything, he looked closer to the perfect sugar daddy than the leader of an almost trillion dollar company.
He slowly stepped onto the podium, a sense of awe overcoming those who looked at him. Nobody took a picture, nobody moved, everyone stared. Finally he spoke.
"Hello everyone. I am Felix Gorden, and this will be the first public announcement that Gorden Co. makes about Ley World. I welcome you all."
His voice, like a mix of an angel's singing, the most charismatic man's voice, and the smoothest deep voice anyone had ever heard.
People sprang from their seats, cheering. Some recorded the events, other screamed and whistled. News crews began moving, recording everything he said and taking hundreds of picture from hundreds of angles.
After a minute, everyone calmed down, and he spoke once more.
"Today, due to popular interest, we will not be talking about the overall game. Instead, we will be focusing more on a single aspect. Virtual to Reality Body Compensation, or VRBC for short. VRBC is, if you havn't guessed by now, the reason that the player's body in real life changed depending on their in-game statistics."
"We have it toned to 1-1000, reality to virtual. Basically, if we took our bodies and calculated what their in-game bodies stats would be, the human average would be 10 for everything. We don't exactly know the exact differences between 9 and 10 or 10 and 9, except that the higher, the better your body is at it."
"With the toning at 1-1000, you would need to gain 1000 in-game points in one stat for your real life 'stat' to go up by one. For example, if someone has an 10 strength, and gets to 1000 strength in-game, then they're strength in real life will go up to 11. It isn't all at once, as each stat point in game affects your body with decimals included. So if you got 500 strength in game, your body would be at 10.5 strength or etc."

"The toning doesn't stay like this for long though, as once you get to a certain point in real life, it will take more and more in-game stats for your body to change itself. While it is possible for someone to get to 110 stats in real life, it would take much more than 100,000 in-game stats, most likely closer to 300,000."
"As for why the toning is at 1-1000 and not higher or lower, lower would mean that the increase would be so small that your body wouldn't accept the change, and revert it as only a small change occurred. Any larger and you would be sore for eternity, your body not able to keep up with the change. Now then, to better explain the scientific points of VRBC, I'll have Mr. Goldfield, Gorden Co's lead scientist and engineer, to explain it to you. Mr. Goldfield if you please."
Mr. Goldfield, an average man of Asian decent, with long since grayed hair and wrinkles adorning his face, stood up to the podium. The scientific community nodded, acknowledging him as the world famous scientist he is. Mr. Gorden stood to the side, silently waving at the crowds.
He spoke, a short, raspy voice coming through.
"Hello everyone. As Mr. Gorden previously stated, your stats affect your real body to a certain degree. The reason for this, was that your brain, upon seeing that it's working at a better and more efficient manner than before, will attempt to change itself to work at that level."
"As you all know, in this game the stats are infinite, so it's possible that with enough time someone in real life will be 100, maybe 1000 times stronger than the average human in intelligence, strength, dexterity, etc. This does cause some side affects, such as needing many more calories, but by the time people get to a high enough level that it makes a difference, someone will have invented something with their much higher intelligence."
"Also, with the creation of the V-R market, any high-up players will be able to make money off the game with enough time put in it. But that will be for later. Now, any questions?"

The Collected Short Stories of Necrontyr525
Hey all, Necrontyr525 here! Rather then drown you all in a flood of one- to three-chapter mini-fics, I've decided to put out all of my short stories in an 'omnibus' format, sorted by series and by release date. These stories span my entire progress as a writer-for-fun over the past three plus years, with the corisponding variance in length, subject matter, and quality. Each chapter will get an Author's Note as a sort of forwards. Not nessisarily as a summary, but more to give you all some context for where each short came from, as well as any chapter-spicific trigger warnings. I can't think of any off of the top of my head, but better safe then sour.Comments, reviews, and constuctive criticizm is welcome, but please do recall that these works collectivly represent a great deal of my growth as a writer.Cover by the wonderful gej302! Go and show them some love!

The Little Things...
Set in the fictional universe of Runeterra (League of Legends™), the story follows four stout spirits known amidst circles of sorcerers and sages as Yordles on their journey across the vast and fantastical world they inhabit. From the treacherous waves outside Bilgewater to the parched deserts of Shurima and the peaks of Mount Targon. The party at first seeks monetary gain in the acquisition of noteworthy artifacts desired by their employer and fellow explorer, but soon finds that there is more to be gained in the relationship forged along the way and the experiences found within them. This series is more a conglomerate of short stories than a fully fledged novel with every two or three chapters being confined to its own miniaturized arc before another one starts. There will be updates semi-regularly and apologies in advance for any niggling grammatical errors, I'm not a published author. (This on-going series features a number of characters belonging to myself and others, half of which are talented artists who deserve your support! More information as to who belongs to who and where to find them down below. Thanks to all three of them for allowing me to use their well-crafted creations in my fan-fiction.)Lois (/Lwa/) belongs to (Myself, @ResidentNapper)Mica (/Mykah/) belongs to (@IVoxxious)Enzo (/Nzoh/) belongs to (@LorikoDingus)Chelle (/Shelle/) belongs to (@TE4MOON)
