[Proto Earth 1]
~1 month later~
A month has passed since the official release of Astral fantasy in the whole world of Proto-Earth, assuming that the once well-known thought to be game, had actually become reality in real life, the whole society were then panic-stricken by such an ordeal
A month ago everyone thought that Astral Fantasy was just a simple game made for mass entertainment in the media, however never would they expect that such a game would turn into a reality and begun opening up dungeons for every players that was issued by a system of their own
Through those times the whole populace went into an uproar as they expressed their fear, worry, expectation, and excitement to the government that is governing their own nation
Fear and worry for the normal civilians that thought about monsters popping out from the opening of the dungeons causing a calamity on their planet, expectation and excitement towards the beta-testers and gamers who are overjoyed to the fact that they could experience a real life battle against monsters just like the other games they previously played
Even thought the whole world was alarmed by this sudden state and the fact that numerous people gained systems and powers in an unimaginable phase, causing fear to the populace of every nation, each leaders or governments of such said nation was still able to handle the chaos happening in their territory by pacifying their own people
By issuing protocols and laws regarding the dungeon and the current state of the world, each nation was then able to maintain the peace in their own territory as if they planned for everything at an earlier time
Of course the only reason why they were able to do such a thing and prepare for such circumstances and issues was because there are some people in the government that had actually received the system during the beta phase, through that they were able to prepare at a much earlier time
Some protocols issued regarding such dungeons and systems include:
- Dungeons are only accessible by players (with system), government, and military personnel
- Only citizens with system and extraordinary powers are allowed to become players
- The dungeons that had appeared out of nowhere would then be under the control of the government and can only be accessed through the government (DM Headquarters, Public Guild, Private Guild, Government, and other firms related...)
- Since the government would be taking full responsibility of such issues regarding the dungeons and it's threat within, the populace could then return to their normal everyday life under our protection
The moment this was laid out towards the public, they were some disagreements and concerns coming from all direction, but unlike the chaotic times wherein the first announcement of such threat was made public, the populace on the other hand became even more organized and pacified by such laid out protocols and laws
Through that while the whole society returned to their everyday lives, the fear and worry was still their to cloud every peoples' judgement towards the dungeons
At this very moment on a certain house on a certain room on the third floor, Lilia or better yet, Lilia Evergreen then woke up from her sleep as she got greeted by her very own system, alongside it's other robotic voice sharing the systems function
*********
Lilia Evergreen
18
female
Assassin (Systemized)
(The Assassin System)
*********
(Sys:"Good morning host! Another great day in your chaotic world, would be another great day for you to scourge materials in the dungeon! Am I right?")
Hearing such a greeting from her own system, Lilia then suddenly rub her eyes to fully awaken herself as she went to the washroom to rinse her face awake
(Lilia:"I think I've already gone crazy, if I get used to you talking in my head")
Thought Lilia in her head
But as if reading her mind the system then replied
(Sys:"Host! You've always been crazy the moment you started talking at empty air! I believe you still remember the time when your aunt thinks your crazy for cursing in the air during the beta test?")
Upon pointing that out, Lilia then couldn't help but remember her experience during the beta test and the reaction of her aunt from catching her talking to air in her own room
Due to that her aunt then totally grounded her for a month, thus forcing her to escape from her home to head to her own university, after all she is a honor student of some sort despite her looks
(Lilia:"Oh! Sh*t up")
Having fed up from the systems constant excuses and sarcasm, Lilia then eventually ignored the said system as she then went downstairs after rinsing her face and came to eat her breakfast together with her aunt and her uncle
After having her own fill for the day, she then immediately prepared her own get up wearing a pink shirt, black hoodie, and a jeans, before running off towards her own university
Commuting from her own home to her university took about a hour and a half of running along the street, of course such a workabout can already be said abnormal on her own level, after all not even an ordinary person could continuously run for almost an hour, much less from her time of 1 hour and 30 minutes
Needless to say Lilia herself and the other people who recieved the systems after joining the game Astral fantasy had already bypassed what a normal person could do due to them having a system to guide them
With the government taking control of the dungeon situation to prevent needless panic from the crowd, Lilia was then able to continue her everyday life of being a student on her Camara university
Alongside that fact, a month ago Lilia was then automatically registered as a player by the government alongside the other beta testers in her time, due to that she was then able to enter dungeon to dungeon as long as her application to enter was approved by the Astral Bureau itself, which governs the dungeon wherein the players enter
With systemized society, there are literally no people causing havoc around their nation, and people entering the dungeon is being done in an organized manner
During this month after the reality of Astral fantasy was made public to the whole world, Lilia was then able to enter dungeons for about 3 times and came home bountiful after successfully scouringing for resources and monster corpse inside the dungeon
By keeping some valuable treasures for herself and selling the monster corpse and other resources to the bureau, Lilia was then able to aid her Aunt and Uncle's finances at her own way
Naturally even her Aunt and Uncle knew that she became a registered player, at first they showed concern Lilia's safety, but after some time of her returning safe to them despite entering dungeons, their over protectiveness had then become lax as they saw her as a dependable person
Nevertheless during her time of entering the dungeon, Lilia was then able to grasp the assassin way of fighting, as she grow more powerful as the time pass by
Upon arriving at her own class, governed by Professor Haywin himself, her system unknowingly felt a slight change in space as it suddenly wondered on it's own thought, naturally since the system and Lilia was connected at some part, the latter was then able to hear the systems thoughts causing her to enact up
(Sys:"A disturbance in space!?!?! Looks like this isn't an ordinary day after all")
Hearing her system speaking nonsense to itself, Lilia then couldn't help but shook her head in dismay as she continued to listen in her professor right at the front
"Alright class! Even though times have changed due to all of these dungeons opening up in thin air, that still doesn't mean that everything would have completely changed between your classes... all we needed to do is to adjust to the current situation, due to that I would expect all of you to do well on your class if you don't want to repeat a term, do you understand?" Asked professor Haywin
Hearing the professor asking everyone in the class, most of the students then replied in unison
"Yes sir!"
After receiving such a reply, Professor Haywin then sighed for a bit as he started giving out pointers for everyone before dismissing them to their own preferred classes
After his lecture, everyone was then free to do whatever they wanted to do as Lilia stood up from her seat and plans to head towards the class of a certain person first, before dilly dallying in other classes later
But when she stood up to prepare to leave, she naturally caught the eyes of numerous boys along the way as they gossip about her among their groups, seemingly they were quite interested in her as a woman but still doesn't have the guts to confess their feelings for her
At that time when she went out of the room, a certain hand then reached out on her shoulder, causing Lilia to suddenly jolt in shock and almost enter a state of defensive mode, but after remembering the last time she encountered such situation and it almost regrettably unable to help the person she downed in the past due to her reflexes, she then calmed her mind as she turned around and meet the person who reached out to her
Unexpectedly such a person behind her was Shawn himself whom she had done wrong in the past and the people behind him were both Kate and Mayne who seemingly giving her a frown due to what she did to Shawn and ruined her first Impression to them
"Hey! Lilia right?"
Hearing Shawn's calling out her name, Lilia then naturally responded in accordance to his question
"Ye-yes!!!"
At that reply Shawn then smiled towards her, causing both Kate and Mayne to frown even more
Upon seeing this her own system then act up again afyer staying silent for some time
(Sys:"Sheesh! Those two girls really hate you at some extent huh? Looks like you really ruined your first impression on them")
(Lilia:"Oh sh*t up! It was all an accident okay?")
(Sys:"Yes an accident! But the victim himself is right infront of you and smiling directly towards you as if he likes you")
(Lilia:"Your just making assumptions!")
(Sys:"Am I? Or Am I!!! Anyway aside from that this guy really like to grab you shoulder to get your attention, isn't he afraid that he might have his arm broken in the process if he suddenly tried to touch a woman unknowingly?")
(Lilia:"Thats.... um.... a....")
(Sys:"Talk about touchy syndrome")
(Lilia:"Please be quiet!")
After sharing her conversation talks with her system through her thoughts, Lilia then faced towards Shawn as she asked
"Shawn right? If I may ask, what do you need from me?"
"Oh! I don't need any particular thing from you, I just need to talk with you, after all it's quite rare for me to get a chance to talk to you up close like this right?"
Hearing his reply, Lilia then blanked out for a bit while both Kate and Mayne reacted disgustedly on the side
"Tch!"
"Ugh!"
Soon after Lilia then regained her composure once more as she suddenly remembered Professor Shella's class
"Well sadly I don't have that leeway! I still need to get to professor Shella's class, so if you excuse me!"
In that instant after giving that nonsensical excuse, Lilia then bolted out from her location, causing Shawn to be stunned silent and unable to stop Lilia from leaving at all, but as he sW her departing figure away, he then smiled to the side as he commented
"What an interesting girl!"
*********
After escaping towards such an awkward situation, Lilia them suddenly felt guilty for a moment about her leaving the guy in the air and as if to rub salt on her wound, the system herself actually reprimanded her for a bit
(Sys:"Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! What a sorry for an excuse of a host, you literally left the guy in the air like that when he wanted to talk to you, how could you just treat people that way?")
(Lilia:"I know okay!!! But I'm no good at that kind of situation, I will just have to apologize to him at another time")
(Sys:"No good at such situation? What an excuse")
(Lilia:"Please just let it go for once!")
Leaving that topic aside, Lilia then entered the class of Professor Shella as she expectedly saw the whole room completely packed with people coming from other classes
Naturally with Lilia's current beauty, many people naturally had immediately recognizes her as the boys couldn't help but marvel at her once more, nevertheless their childish side still won over themselves, causing for them to tease her a bit
"Hey! Your the Lilia girl right? Come sit beside me right now!"
"Oi! Don't steal my target! She's sitting beside me!"
"Bro! Your kidding yourself right? Hahahaha you alone can occupy two seats already! Where would you even let her seat?"
"If she had nowhere else to go, then she could sit on my lap!"
"Hahahahahaha!!!"
As the boys of the class joked around the class, the girls on the other hand looked disdainfully on the boys as they think their classmates for the class as shameless childish perverts
As the prima good example of the class, one girl in a certain girl group of friends then called out to Lilia to sit beside them, after all one of their friend was absent for the current moment, thus leaving one space free
Upon seeing that open seat, Lilia naturally went over as she sat beside the girls while completely ignoring the urging voices of the boys
While that was happening, Professor Shella on the other hand stayed quiet for the whole time as she witnessed her class fooling around with Lilia, nevertheless she still continued her lecture as if treating the incident as non-existent at all
"Anyway with miss Evergreen joining us on the class, I can assume that we won't be having anymore distractions further on?"
"....."
With dead silence as seen as the reply from her question, Professor Shella then continued further
"As I was saying with the worlds current primary example of dungeons appearing all over the world, the topic about quantum space mechanics, space distortion, and appearance of weird magnetic force became the sole main topic of numerous scientist all over the world"
"Putting aside the weird magnetic force that has been the primary discussion even before the incident of the dungeons appearing, we would on the other hand focus on the topic most closely related to this kind of current phenomenon"
Upom hearing that the topic is somehow related to the dungeon, Lilia then slowly scooted over on her seat as she listened intently towards the discussion
"As we all may know Quantum mechanics is a fundamental theory in physics that provides a description of the physical properties of nature at the scale of atoms and subatomic particles. It is the foundation of all quantum physics including quantum chemistry, quantum field theory, quantum technology, and quantum information science"
"But such mechanics also is applicable is space topic, which in turn then was called Quantum space mechanics a fundamental theory regarding the existence of space distortions"
In that moment Professor Shella then started looking out towards the crowd, causing numerous people to be quite nervous of being called out, but as if reading their mind, the professor herself then sigh in resignation as she announced her piece towards everyone
"All of you should come down! Since I'm quite interested in such topic, I'll then in turn plants just teach you what I know about this space mechanism... there will be no quiz, no call outs, and no surprises for today!"
Hearing such rare occurrence, many students the suddenly felt relieved to hear such words, after all they were all quite on the edge whenever Professor Shella started to teach, since she is heralded as a person who like surprises the most
In fact even Lilia herself was one of those wary people, but that didn't shift her focus unto something else at all, but rather she became much more focused on the topic regarding the dungeon even more
"What makes space distortion interesting is it's Sub-power of Space-Time Distortion. Combination of Spatial Manipulation and Distortion Manipulation, with the capabilities to create distortions within space, causing any physical matter within to bend according to the distortion itself"
"The application of such distortion would be Dimensional storage, Floortilting, Multi-rotation, Portal creation, Remote teleportation, Spatial attacks, Spatial crushing, Spatial Slicing, Spatial displacement, Spatial mimicry, and Spatial tuning"
"It's variation of course include Dimensional distortion, Time distortion, and Teleportation"
"There are also multiple application towards such topic, but due to its numerous possibilities of branching out of its power, the information regarding such phenomenon is near endless, in fact even with all of this knowledge the scientist in our world is still quite far in succeeding in creating what you call dungeons nowadays, thus causing the dungeons that are appearing in the world as a special existence"
"Some believe that it is a work of an extra terrestrial being from an unknown world, some believe that it is the workout higher dimensional being that is currently looking down at us... but in the end we would never know"
"Anyway it is already theorized that such phenomenon might be the cause of the elements or matters shifting into something quite foreign to our world, nevertheless it is just but a theory and nothing to support such claims, thus it will still remain as a mystery to us"
With that the day then continued as Lilia herself learn something anew about the current crisis of her own world
