As the following day arrived (fuking bloody Monday), people woke up and went about their usual routines. But what happened to our bunch of friends the day before is unforgettable, they also woke up and went about their normal routines, but they never forgot to check their PCs. Fortunately, the PCs opened up normally and nothing was unusual. It was as if nothing had ever happened. They breathed a sign of relief, knowing that some guys didn't have to lose money for a new PC or some kids wouldn't have asses whooped. Some of them then had their normal day life outdoor like the others, for some such as Hans didn't have to and stayed at home. (he worked from home by the way)
It was then that Hans and others discovered something new in their game - a new game mode actually, called Ultra Realistic. Just that, no battle rating number, no information nor anything. Thinking it's just an unannounced update from Gaijin, and for the fact it shut down their PCs baffled them.
"But first, let's try out the new mode" they thought.
As soon as Hans clicked the button 'To Battle', the game quickly transferred him into a whole new map where he was surrounded by trees and trees. On his screen, the HUD is normal, except for the map which was black and only shown the surrounding where his tank is.
"Maybe an open world mode, I have to go explore, heh?" Hans thought excitingly
This is great, isn't it? WT with open world map. What a surprising gift from Gaijin!(I think). But something was off, it was about his tank.
"But.....what is this? Why am I in the Pz.35(t)? I remember choosing the Tiger before getting here? Vas ze FUK, man?!" Hans furiously shouted in his room.
Soon, a research tab similar to the one in the garage appeared on his screen, showing his now rank I tank was light up except for the others in the same tech tree.
"Welp, I guess I have to go grinding again. Man, this's gonna be tiring" He muttered.
Turning off the tab, he found out that there's other people here too and it was none other than some of his friends from Discord server.
"Aight! You boys're here too?" he asked
"Oh hello Hans! Yeah, we're just recently been here a few moment ago" a guy in his M2A4 answered
"I see with my little eyes that you guys also got your tanks reset, huh"
"Well, at least, we'll have our little low tier experience again, right?"
"It's only fun for you guys, not me okay? I hate grinding from low tier again, it's just a pain in the ass, man"
"C'mon Hans, it'll be fun. Besides, Gaijin at least didn't touch your beloved Tiger, did they? I mean resetting our main garage, I've just checked those"
"Imagine they did do that, man I gonna beat the shit out of them for sure"
"Yeah you sure will"
As they kept talking, an unusual voice rang up near them, it just sounds exactly from the radio in the game. They turned to see who it was and saw that it was another player in his BT-5. He himself was surprised too.
"Was that the Proximity Voice Chat mod from yesterday test?" Hans asked
"What?! I thought my Anti Cheat was on!" The BT-5 guy replied in shock.
"Wait....Let me try" said as someone built up some houses.
"Holy shit, this is incredible! We can use mods in this game mode?!" someone shouted with excitement.
"I don't know guys, maybe it is just a bug, we should stop and report this to Gaijin" said as someone disagreed on the idea.
"Nah man, you are no fun at all, let's have some fun" said as majority of them agreed on that and soon decided to keep this a secret.
After some time, they discovered that some of the mods can't be used, mostly about OP vehicles. Besides, they've also spent some of their time finishing the military base including garages for everybody to come back and go offline, training ground for newbies, airbases, naval bases and more.
The remaining time were spent to explore the map, they soon realized they were on an isolated isle full of all kind of beasts and monsters but they killed'em all with ease by using their main cannons and machine guns.
"What is this?! Some fantasy bullshit?!" someone commented as he blew up the head of a lion-like beast.
"I don't know man but I like this move from Gaijin" some other replied.
"I don't think it even came from Gaijin mate. I mean.....they make games about military stuffs but this...this is kinda strange, isn't it? Not to mention they didn't even announce anything about this update and also.....that incident yesterday, something doesn't feel right"
"Now you mention it, I kinda feel the same too!"
The conversation continued as they clearing up the whole isle. Suddenly, an announcement popped up in front of everyone, declared that they have cleared up the isle region, no beast remain, this island now is a safe zone and as a reward, they were all given.....200 hundred of SL(Silver Lion), 150 hundred of RS(Research Point), enough for each of them to getting all Tier I tanks, planes and ships of all nations. And lastly, 500 GE (Golden Eagle).(Author: are the amounts too much or too low?)
"Well, not too much, not too low, just okay. You are doing great, Gaijin" Hans commented.
"Yea, I now can get rid of Tier I tanks, we need more better vehicles in our army. Those bigger beasts back there really got on my nerves, they threw our tanks like toys, it took us some time to get them down" another person commented.
"Some of us got destroyed too! Did you see that BT-5 which got thrown into a nearby mountain and exploded into pieces?! Luckily, we had the ability to come back as another tank"
"That sure is useful. But we also gotta be more careful, maybe there are more stronger creature that we could face. And don't rely too much on that ability, we could be run out of tanks in our garages, even that would rarely happen at this point" Hans warned
"Roger that, Mr. Be-careful" someone joked
"Aight, I'm just making sure the fun won't be ruined by something bad happen to one of us" Hans replied.
At that point, it was night time, the remaining of our boys came back from work finally have an update of what happened during the day on their Discord server, they soon joined in with the others. Unbeknown to our boys, someone had set their eyes on the isle for a long time.
