Synopsis

Chapter 1 - The System

The year is 3042, and the world has progressed so much in the last few decades.New planets, have been discovered, and contact has been made with a planet similar to ours. The leaders of the world have all come together to select a spokesperson for Earth. Everyone agreed that the richest man in the world Selon Kusp would be the perfect person to communicate with the other beings. A date has been set, and Selon Kusp strapped into his SpacePod and took off. It was small enough for 1 person to fly, and all you need to ride one is to get your Space License after taking the test when you reach the age of 15. Every school provides a Space Flying course. Once you A's the test then you can take the SpacePod test.

Selon Kusp finally reached the space station. The captain of the ship greeted him, and led him to the room where the beings were. Selon Kusp opens the door, and sees a human being sitting in front of him.

"I thought Aliens looked different." Selon chuckles as he sits down.

"We are humans too. How do we know if you're an Alien?" The being barks back. Now that Selon has a better look. The features look similar to that of a human.

"So what brought you to visit our planet, and what's your name?" Selon asks. The man leans back, and replies. " My name is Franklin the 8th. My planet is called Ferion. Unlike your planet we are ruled by 1 supreme leader. Our solar system is inhabited by 50 species with multiple languages. We use this watch that helps us translate our mother tongue Ferios to your mother tongue. So it can help us communicate better. Our space radar noticed your planet. It took years to reach this planet. We noticed that your planet is dying, and we can help you." Selon raises his eyebrows. "How so?"

Franklin the 8th hands Selon a chip. "Your world needs to progress even faster. This chip will help you out. Virtual Reality will be something new to your world, but it's common in ours. We even have babies being born through VR. We'll provide you with all the things you need. In return let us meet again in 10 years. We can talk about payment then." Selon gives Franklin a confused look. "Why 10 years, and what things." Franklin the 8th gets up, and walks towards the ship's dock. Then turns around and looks at Selon. "It took us 10 years to reach your planet even though you guys were 5 million light years away. We managed to get what we needed on our first trip. You guys haven't noticed, but my comrade has analyzed your bodies, and took some data. We apologize, and make sure you use that chip to good use." Before Selon could reply back the beings' ship started and took off within seconds. Selon looks at the chip, and puts it inside his laptop. The laptop screen flickers, and words pop up.

[Welcome to Murder System]

Selon stares blankly at the screen.

[New owner: Selon Kusp

Planet: Earth

Money: 1.9 Trillion

Spouse: Penny

Sex: Male

Blood Type: A+]

"What am I looking at?" Selon asks the captain. The captain shrugs, and scratches his head. The screen flickers again.

[Please select the world you want the VR to take place in. Here's a list of planets near Earth that have inhabitants.

Deria - 2 million light years away from Earth

Komas - 500,000 light years from Earth

Do you wish to select the above planets to get VR, or do you select your home planet?

Yes or No?]

"Umm… We have other life near us….! Oh My… What The Fuck!" Selon opens his mouth widely, and leans forward tapping his finger on the desk.

[10 seconds left. Please Select a planet.]

"I select Earth!" Selon shouts. Then a white beam can be seen through the huge glass window. Everyone gets up and sees Earth surrounded by a white glowing blanket. The blanket flutters, and huge flakes fall down on Earth. Then the blanket slowly vanishes in space.

"Captain please turn on the news." Selon, and everyone else gathers in front of the TV and watches what is transpiring on Earth. The laptop screen flickers again.

[Murder System Online

1 million players registered 2 million in queue

40 people dead

2 players died.]

Selon looks at the tv as he sees nothing is out of the ordinary. All the news around the world isn't mentioning the people getting killed. Selon goes back to Earth, and is welcomed by all the leaders throughout the world. He tells the leaders about the beings from the other planet, and that they will return in 10 years.

Time passed, and Selon Kuskp's new invention has become the new hot thing. Virtual Reality comes to life. Anyone can do anything in the Virtual World, and won't affect the real world. Selon didn't mention 1 thing though. There's a hidden secret in his new invention. Only a few out of the millions of the world have access to a game called Murder System. The risk is high, but the reward is even greater. Everyone gets this message when they get the system.

[System Message To New Players:

Players murder their targets to get rewards from the system. Depending on the way they murder their targets the system gives them bonus xp and loot. The marketboard can be used by players to trade items with each other. Each city throughout the world has a vendor where they can purchase items. Players can even party up, and try to murder a CEO to get exclusive loot that will help them boost their level up in the leaderboard. Targets range from a small ant to whatever the system tells them the target is. New players get xp boost up to level 5 when they can get access to the marketboard, and other features will be unlocked as they level up. Murder System doesn't have a level cap so you can level up as much as you want. Higher level players can't kill new players until they enter a pvp area. You can choose to risk your life to get the other player's loot. It's all up to the player. But winning in a pvp area you can get 1 million xp, and exclusive PVP loot. Ranging from a secret base where you can stash your loot to a mansion in a location of your choosing with armed security all near your level range. They level up alongside you. If you kill a person the system tells you to kill. That person actually dies. You will not be noticed by the feds if you use the system wisely. You can ask the system for help, and will aid you. Don't get caught and have fun killing people.

End]

Present Day July 26, 3044

James has to get up to get ready for the trip to the beach. His friends are waiting for him downstairs. He grabs a toast as he goes downstairs. He waves to his parents in the living room, and pets his dog who was wagging his tail and jumping up to lick his face. "Don't be out too late!" His mom shouts. "Catch a big wave!" His father calls out as he stretches on the couch.James opens the door, and picks up the surfboard on the bench. He walks to the car, and they all drive to the beach. While they were having a good time and drinking. They see a big wave in the ocean, and a couple surfers riding the big wave. The surfers got a round of applause from the beach goers. One of the surfers notices James, and asks if he can join them. The others nod, and everyone starts to get along with each other.

One of the surfers spikes James' drink. He wakes up and is surrounded by the same surfers who were at the bonfire. He looks around, and notices that he's on a big cloud. Then the drug finally kicks in. He falls to the ground shaking. One of the surfers speaks up. "Bruhh It finally started." The next moment. James wakes up with a knife in his hand in a small apartment.

He looks at the knife, and sees a hologram window pop up in front of his face.

[System: Welcome new player. You've been selected to partake on a new game developed by Selon Kusp. Here's your tutorial.

[New players have to pass level 5 to unlock the market board.]

"What the heck is going on?" James drops the knife, and opens the door. He sees the message again, but it's different.

[Fail to do the mission will result in a punishment.

Quit the game will result in Death. (Unless you reach the required level. Player is level 1 and can't quit yet.)

Punishment varies in quests given. For your mission the punishment is Lion rampage.]

"Fuck this game, and fuck your Lion Rampage or whatever it is! I want to quit. What is the level to quit this game?!" James shouts at the hologram screen.

[Required level to quit is 100]

"What the fuck… What is Lion Rampage then?"

[Lion Rampage is a punishment given to level 1-10 players who don't complete their mission. You will be placed in a colosseum, and have to survive fighting against lions for 1 hour.]

"Fucking hell! Can I go back home? I don't want to be here."

[You're free to go home. Just remember to finish the mission.]

James runs as fast as he can back to his house. Time flies by, and James forgets about the system. He calls his friends, and asks about the surfers. They all gave the same answer. There were no surfers at the beach that day. James thinks he was just dreaming the whole thing, and the fateful day finally comes. James is sitting with his family and watching a movie when the message pops up again.

[Mission failed: Sending James to Lion Rampage

10 seconds remaining]

James gets up throwing popcorn everywhere. "JAMES WHAT THE HECK!" His mom bellows at him. He runs to the bathroom, and closes the door. "Why are you doing this to me!" James begs the system to stop the countdown. A flash appears and Jame blinks. He squints his eyes, and covers his head with his hand. The sun blazing down, and he looks around. He's inside a coliseum. He has a sword in 1 hand, and a shield is on the ground next to him. The window pops up again.

[Lion Rampage Starts

Kill as many Lions as you can

Time left 1 hour]

James hears a loud sound from across the coliseum. The gate opens up, and a Lion charges at him teeth glaring.James picks up the shield, and braces himself for a full impact.
