The "game"

The system kept showing the countdown to the beginning of the game and we all wondered what new dangers would appear after this. Hardly and with difficulty we were able to stay alive from the day that this system came into our lives, at first we believed that the system was friendly because of how it made an effort to give humanity the possibility of surviving and facing problems on equal terms; But what happened after the tutorial and during it filled us with doubts about it. Almost like he wanted us to be confident and calm so out of nowhere to show his teeth and take a good bite. Some cities almost fell because of the waves of monsters that were there before the countdown ends. At least that we know thanks to the fact that they made their towers and leveled them to the point that they obtained a portal; I don't want to imagine how those places will be where there wasn't even this. I am afraid that our loved ones if they managed to survive until the tutorial they would not have reached further after all they put to die in one of these waves or during the tutorial, I just hope that their death has been quick and painless at most that would give me some consolation ; although I really wish they were alive the waves were more severe the more fortified the city was so there is hope. Although perhaps he only did this with those who could receive news and with the rest he did anyone, I do not know the system does not give me confidence as soon as we begin to have a little peace, it takes it away and complicates things for us; The truth is that since I started to feel like this I began to seek to create things without the help of the system and to manage what I could without it. At the moment I created laboratory tools that help me in making potions, increasing their probability of success, but my plans are to have my house done without the help of the system and everything that works in it without any link to magical things. I fear that one day the way we understand how it works will change or that it is simply wanted thanks to the system in an attempt to wreak havoc. The countdown finally reached zero and within the city, accompanied by a tremor, a pile of stones and objects accumulated to form a kind of stone ring, the tremors stopped and a portal was formed in the stone ring like the ones they carry. to dungeons only that this one was green while the others were blue; in turn, it did not show information about the type of dungeon or time before the dungeon breack, it only asked you if you wanted to enter the games area. A chilling sensation ran through my body when reading that text as if they asked me to participate in SAW games in real life, because someone would let themselves be involved in something like that of their own free will and nobody was willing to enter; I imagined that everyone would wait for someone else to take the risk and to think about the possible prize of being the first to enter I agreed. It was something stupid because there was a possibility that he died but in this situation in which anything can kill you, take a risk to make you stronger and thus ensure you some advantage when facing death, it is worth it; Although I am still suspicious of the system, I know that it is not going to send us to a quick death, it is not its safe style at the beginning, this "game" is going to be easy and full of prizes and then turn into a m******e. Behind me was Emma who surely understood my way of thinking and followed me or only followed me to protect me from my stupidity, however I did not have time to ask her anything the foggy view in front of us was clearing and in front of us there was a meadow; on one side a super giant building with many impossible structures coming out of it. Almost as if from a house thrown in the maicraft but in real life and on the other side not so far away a kind of quasi circus fair. Spellbound without understanding what was passing in front of us, a kind of hologram of an older male person with a long beard appeared. If we wanted more tickets, we had to pay with the money from the safe area. Me and him both with our two tickets decided to find out what's up with the fair first. In it they had games like amusement parks whose purpose was only to burn money in exchange for entertainment, as well as there were fast food stands and cinemas among other things of the modern era that we did not think we would see again in a time as cybers and etc. In the games of collecting prizes, you could choose between the typical fair or miscellaneous objects that would serve you in real life, even in cybers there were tournaments to win these objects, however it was super expensive to participate and sing something useful. Simply entering the fair was worth a ticket and the rest of the fair would require more money. The only thing we dared to try to collect points was the hammer game; However, despite having our strength strengthened by leveling and armor, it did not even go up to half. It was an expensive attempt that barely let us take a piece of mineral or a plastic comb with us as a prize. Because if we ask for the mineral that could be random, later we will see what it is when going to the mine, I don't think it will be of much use, the rock just fills the palm of my hand almost like a look of consolation; Then we went to the building and discovered that it was something like a dungeon but that it separated its levels of difficulty more clearly and there were two versions, one in which you could die and the other in which you could not. You get a score when you enter either of the two but lower in which you do not run the risk of death, knowing the system it is most likely that the first is super easy so that you trust yourself to face the second and die tragically; At least that's what I think because of how it behaves. We decided not to waste time with which you cannot die by sharing our idea that it was a trap, per day you could only choose only one side in exchange for a ticket and you could only withdraw after beating a level; then upon entering we discovered that the levels were solo. I almost died of fright luckily the first level was nothing more than an easy fight against a horned rabbit, so I did not fear for Emma but I know that it will surely get worse to top it off the building only lets you remake a floor a certain number of times before making you have to face the one that follows directly; It really is a nightmare at least the amount of times it does not accumulate on the side where you cannot die and the thing is virtual or at least that explains the text hologram in the building itself. We did not want to know anything more at the moment and we saved our points for the store. For the moment we would go out to share our discovery and ideas and we left our attempt to progress in the building for tomorrow to see what others said about what they found to see if it was wise or not, after sharing our ideas there were several who thought like us Regarding the plot of the system with the building but they liked the idea of making easy points even if it was in less amount because the prizes from the store were tempting, not only were there super cool weapons and armor but abilities and echo scrolls for skill or level ; There were even potions to strengthen MP or Qi and SP health bars between mounts and pets that attacked next to you or goals and other summons. Although the points for this are quite large, several trust in their abilities, others just want to buy things to resell and thus go with that money to the fair, especially the gammers because they trust they can win better things in cyber tournaments. Only a small number of people believed that it was best to spend a little time there gathering things and the rest to strengthen the city, something that the almost crazy system would make everyone forget what to do with the commotion of the playground. The strategy game that you will increase your personal or group power. This game that the system was put for your enjoyment to see how we are led to death by discord or greed in truth that vicious.
