The Two Lives Of Aaron Wade: The Gamer The Heir - 192 Space Virus II

“Before birth, there’s always a spark, tiny, miniscule inconsequential but quite capable of giving life to the greatest of forces, to the greatest of men, and women. To the greatest of heroes and villains, to the greatest gods and the greatest demons, and to the greatest of worlds.

But sometimes one spark begets two, being so unique and powerful that it would birth two of greatness, two of the same coin, a hero and a villain, a god and a devil, a living world……and dead world. Gaia is the jewel of the universe, home, the bright place of everything that breathes, sleeps, eats, flies, crawls, swims, moves, lives and die……but not much is know about her sister, her twin in power and might, in magic and grace, a world forgotten and untouched by the ever evolving hands of the chosen ones, of the immortals, of the players!

But she is unlike her sister Gaia, she’s a world of games and bloodshed, a world of Kings and heroes. Nothing is gained or given in this world without the strength of your swords and thickness of your blood, it is a world that gives its power to the glory of it’s Kings and it’s 100 legendary heroes of unique repute. She’s ready, she’s opening up her gates to you, to the lost descendants, for she is your inheritance. She needs her Kings, she needs her heroes, come and claim your kingdom, come and claim your might! Take and take and take! Until there’s nothing between you and the top, until your name resounds allover the place as Emperor as Legendary Hero!

Fight for pride, resources, wealth, pleasures and the ultimate throne, need her call, need her please to be remembered as she calls out to you, as Terra! Sings forth her song of battle. Will you be there, on the dawn, or on the dusk, or on the high noon and midnight of her noble self. All are welcome……bring your best!”

(Tournament Of Terra: Of Kings u0026 Heroes)

The narration for the tournaments trailer was amazing, but it went behind just what was being said to what was being shown. Endless strips of stable land, deserts, mountains, tundra and actual floating islands. There were battling platforms placed in the strangest of places, and then civilizations that seemed stuck in a stone age. Their fur clothes clinging heavily to their body, and even though they all had different races to fall back on, they all just looked like the were prehistoric.

Terra truly was a land untouched by technology, but it had magic and it very much had conflicts. There were werewolves and vampires, demons and what looked like angels. These placed seemed to be a little bit more supernatural than Gaia and the universe she was in, but that’s understandable, when your basing it on the timeline, magic or not, a bunch of things would be attributed to gods and weird voodoo by the people of this era.

After the trailer, another one for the (A.R.I) Was shown, especially with the pitch that streaming services would be available for players and people who would be more willing to watch the tournament rather than participate. Of course to enjoy the streaming service a monthly subscription was required, but it was affordable for everyone, but of course said service would also be limited as there were three stages to it.

The basic subscription, the premium subscription and the premium VIP subscription, each one correlating to the amount of popularity and power the individual or guild being streamed had.

For example an ordinary player looking to make his way in Terra could be watched by others using the basic streaming service, but once said player has a modicum of Fame and is quite popular amongst others, his subscription service would be bumped up to the premium. Also players have to register for the streaming service, they’ll sign a bunch of legal documents, but on e the game starts, they earn a portion of the proceeds from the subscription service and a little bit more from viewers willing to gift said player money for his or her efforts.

The premium VIP would have really famous guilds and players in it right from the start, a contract has probably been sent to all of them by now, and there’s no way they would disagree as quite a bit of money can and will be earned from it. Also there was also a measure of security, from the premium subscription upwards, players with subscriptions of their own will not be able to stream other players within the tournament. This is so that the secrets of players would be protected, sure people from the real world will see and probably expose it, but that’s an attempt to keep an element of surprise and have every guild and player be at the tip of their toes. All in all it as a well thought out plans, seems like a cash grab scheme to me, but nevertheless the augmented reality interface had more practical applications in real life than to just serve as a portable television.

I switched of the holographic screen in front of me, only for me to get hit on my thigh. I looked down at Ron, he was just staring at the screens and now I had turned it off, I didn’t even notice he was there, I looked at the time and had to grimace, it was a little past 2am and we both should be asleep. But those eyes of his, they’re impossible to say no to.

“Five minutes! I don’t care what you say or how cute you look, but after this we’re both going to bed, deal!” he looked at my outstretched hand and then back to my face, then he raised his hands up asking me to carry him up. I couldn’t help but sigh, I knew just as he knew that it didn’t matter what deal I offered, he was going to get what he wanted no matter what. The holographic screen came up again, this time it was showing a simple map. Of Terra that was released to the public and preparations for the guilds hoping to establish their kingdoms, this was so they could plan ahead.

Of course not all information about the lay of the land was given, but there was enough to understand a basic demographic and make a choice. And then Ron moved his finger, pointing to a spot at the north-western edge of a continent right in the middle of Terra. It was uneven like most continents tend to be, but it was in the shape of a half moon, and the spot Ron was pointing at was right at the beginning of a mountain range, close to the western sea, to the east was a push and expansive forest that actually expanded to the ocean, a little ways south was the beginning of a desert, and North was the mountain range.

The spot was covered with trees and green, showing that it was also a part of the forest, setting up anything there was akin to being in the middle of nowhere, the only place that there seems to be access to it, was from the desert in the south. This was not a detailed map, so it’s hard to tell if they’re any official roads leading to that spot, but seeing as this world was rather primitive I would say no. It was right in the middle of nowhere, however……

“Ron my sweet boy you’re a genius!” I said to him as I pulled him close and gave a big fat missing his cheek and hugged him tighter. He giggled, probably a little bit tickled by the small beard that had grown on my face(I need to shave that). Then he turned and said.

“Go play there?” I raised an eyebrow, lost descendants online since it’s inception has only been open to 18 year olds and above due to it’s very graphic and adult nature, however maybe it time we bent the rules a bit. I quickly typed a message to the virtual reality department with a detailed plan, then I turned to Ron and said.

“Don’t worry, daddy will go make a playground for you there, and then you can come play.” I said to him with a smile as he nodded and continued to stare at the map.

The spot he had chosen was pretty much isolated from the rest of the world, we might be quite far away from.

Civilization, but we had access to all of the natural resources we would need to survive. The sea to the west, a mountain to the north, a desert to the South and if all should go well, a forest to the east or rather completely around us. But it was not just the idea of the resources, it was the idea of a place where the dragons could hatch without being discovered too early, where they can grow, and learn and train with everything they would ever need made available to them…..my very own dragon army.
