Game Alive - Chapter 6 Relaunch

Kage had been irritated for the past few months, Reimagined had been shut down and the game was undergoing a complete overhaul. However today the game would Relaunch, currently Kage was watching the press conference with Ceo Tullani.

“Greetings once again, …. I feel so gratified that so many young people would show up today. However we are not here to talk about me, as you all know Reimagined has undergone a complete overhaul due to a shocking development. In order to balance this oddity we were forced to make some changes to the game.

On this note, we have added a quest system to allow a change in race. It is to be noted though that there are a rare few of such quests, in particular Legendary races. There is only one of each, and similarly players will see the addition of Class changes.” Stated Ceo Tullani as he looked over the crowd.

“Mr. Tullani, isn’t that a bit contradicting to the Reimagined class Assignment system?” asked a reporter curiously.

“Indeed but tell me miss reporter, would you want to be play a game as a reporter? Where is the fun in that, it was honestly a very foolish oversight on our part. That being said we will be giving players the chance to rip away from their shackles placed on them by their aptitude and allow them to soar. Although Reimagined is meant to blend the truths of reality into a fantasy world.

This brings me to my next point of conversation, along with legendary races there will Legendary classes installed as well.” Continued Ceo Tullani however he found himself interrupted by a different reporter which brought forth his ire.

“Mr. Tullani previously you said that the game was being overhauled because of a certain individual, are all these adjustments really necessary for just one person. Along with this aren’t there concerns this person may gain one of those legendary races or classes? At that point would the game have to undergo another overhaul?” asked the Reporter in a rapid fire manner.

“It no longer matters why it was done, the game has been balanced. In the event this person happens to gain a legendary class or race then it is only fate, Reimagined will undergo no further reboots. Now the time for this press conference is running short, I will therefore summarize the rest of my speech.

As a side effect of the reboot some players may find certain things missing or certain possessions have disappeared, in the event of this ELM will be giving compensation of equal value to the loss in the form of gear, skills, magic, pets, or Gold. There is no way to reacquire the items lost, any complaints will be ignored thank you and enjoy the game” huffed Ceo Tullani.

Kage watching the conference heard the words and felt something start weighing on his heart.

‘My shop…..’

Without a second though the Merchant hopped into his game pod and logged into Reimagined to check the damages.

‘The reality you knew before no longer exists and has been eradicated by the dark powers of the Nether, the Goddess of light has graciously brought you and the other life forms to this new world. However you were exhausted by the transferal and placed in hibernation, time has passed and your strength has returned and just in time as the forces of the Nether have begun to infect this world leaving dark legacies.

The Gods knowing this is a crucial moment have sent down their own legacies in order to foster champions against the Nether. Now go out and realize the destiny that was nearly taken from you’

This message was what greeted Kage along with many others as they logged in for the first time since the reboot, staring at the message the Merchant felt hopeless.

‘The Gods see your turmoil and feel for your loss and would like to offer you a gift to help soothe your woes’

‘The Devils of the Nether have also seen your turmoil and would like to compensate you for your loss’

Kage looked at the two messages before he looked at the options presented to him, from the Gods, they wished to ease his woes with a caravan start up.

From the Nether Kage saw weapon…

“Cheap bastards, a caravan is much better” muttered Kage as he tapped the Caravan icon.

‘Congratulations, you have become the first player to form a caravan in this new world, +3 Charisma’

Kage was surprised at the reward of points to a stat. However time would only tell what this life as a traveling merchant would do for him.
