Five Game Addicts Creating Their Own Country In Another World

April 05, 2027.

Across the world, all kinds of crimes are committed. People die and disappear every day and yet society still move, unchanged.

"What... is this...?"

[Welcome, dear ]

Five men who were laying on the ground started to regain their consciousness.

As they woke up, they were all on guard and became warry of each other's presence.

They all looked at their surroundings which was a small, glass like, room filled with different colors like a kaleidoscope.

[Players, you will now be transported into the place where eveyrhting started and where everything will end]

[Ten minutes until teleportation]

[Countdown will now begin]

Confused, the five men all stared at the blank screens before them in silence.

"... Whoah"

One of them tried touching the screen but was futile as his hand only went through.

He then experimented if there was some kind of projector that was projecting the image by waving his hand around the screen, but to his surprise there was nothing.

Others were busy comprehending the perplexing situation they were in.

[08:36]

"Hey guys, what do you..."

"Aaaah!"

After one tried to speak to another, all of them begun to experience a strong headache and ringing in their ears.

Ting!

[The five of you will now understand what the other says]

[This only works verbally]

[05:21]

The pain and rinnging disappeared.

"Ow..."

One of them whispered.

"It's okay now, huh"

One of them said in annoyance.

As they did not want to experience the pain again, they all stayed in their initial position while pondering what to do and what their families were doing.

Quietly watching the countdown as they all held back themselves from asking in case they were to experience the same pain once more.

[00:00]

[Teleportation will now begin]

Light enveloped their bodies as they were transported in front of a small castle on top of a small hill.

"Where... are we...?"

Real wind. Actual sunlight. Vivid sensation, too real to be a dream.

Seeing the miraculous event of being instantly transported to another place, all of them simultaneously understood at least one fact.

It was that however they got here was not important. But 'whoever is capable of doing such things' and 'why they would do such a thing' were the questions in their mind.

[Dear Players, I am the or ]

[The five of your has been chosen to create a flourishing country in this world that has already fallen]

[But first, to do such a thing, one must have the power to overcome such trials]

[For that reason, each of you will be granted a power]

[The castle walls are divided into five segments, each segment has their own uses. The ability you will be able to choose from will differ by segment]

[With that said, choose wisely for it is impossible to change your designated class later on]

"Hey! Wait! Tell me why we are here!"

[Questions will be answered after all of you choose your class]

[One can only ask one question until the individual is satisfied with the answer they will receive]

"Tsk!"

Frustrated, the man who asked just now could only bit his lip in anger as he tried to calm himself down.

"What do you guys think?"

"Let's go in"

"Are you insane? What if something kills us in there?!"

"If they wanted to kill us, they would have done it earlier"

"Besides, did you not hear what that thing said? It said we are 'Players' meaning we are currently in a game. If we are in a game, there would be a 'Creator'. Why would they kill us when their objective is to watch us?"

"....."

As they all could not say anything, they all followed the first person to walk towards the castle on a straight line.

Boom!

"....?!"

After they all entered, the castle gates fell, locking them inside.

Just then, five symbols appeared on top of each wall segment.

The wall pointing towards the North was two swords crossing each other.

The wall pointing towards the Northwest was a fishing tool.

The wall pointing towards the Northeast was a book.

The wall pointing towards the Southwest was a roasted chicken.

The wall pointing towards the Southeast was a logo of different elements combine into one.

Shing!

A long list of potential appeared on each wall.

They showed different classess with different descriptions.

"For now, how about we take our time looking through them one by one until we decide on what we want?"

"That's fine with me"

"Alright"

They all nodded and picked their own walls to look at.

"....."

As they carefully looked through the list, they would scoff, be disgusted, laugh histerically, and have a devious smile on their face.

Once they were all done, they would move clockwise until everyone manage to look through all the classes available on each wall.

They then gathered at the center and sat down.

"I am taking the one with the roasted chicken!"

As soon as they sat down, one of them claimed a wall.

"I don't mind since the classes there are all garbage"

"Me too"

"I am amazed there is an idiot who would even choose that one"

"You do you... I guess"

Excited, the man run towards the wall with the roasted chicken and picked his class.

[The individual has chosen the class from the South-west wall]

"As expected"

"Why did you choose that one?"

"It has offensive, defensive, and support type abilities which makes it versatile. Not to mention, I can evolve this class into the in the future!"

The four looked at each other and turned back to Marco.

"Why would you want that when it's only the five of us here?"

"AQA said that we will build a country, right? That obviously means that there will be people coming here other than us sooner or later"

"....!"

The four who questioned Marco's decision now realized his plan.

"How cunning of you, you prick!"

"If you knew that, why didn't you told us earlier?"

"Well, it was obvious since that was the first thing AQA said, except for it saying its introduction. I didn't expect you lot would miss something as simple as that"

The four of them started to re-think their decision.

They, who were overwhelmed by the situation they were in, overlooked information that they should have kept in their mind.

After some time of contemplating, the four have decided what they will be taking.

[The individual has chosen from the Northern wall]

[The individual has chosen from the North-west wall]

[The individual has chosen from the North-east wall]

[The individual has chosen from the South-east wall]

The four looked at a certain someone after the announcement.

"What?" Leon asked.

"Why ?"

"You chose a weird one and yet you dare slander me earlier for choosing ?!"

Leon sighed and explained to them the reason why he chose his class.

" can evolve into a later on. I have my own plans, okay"

As they understood why he chose it they stopped questioning him.

[The is now over]

[I will now answer any question]

[Note, question that is regarding to the functions of the castle or information that is needed to know will not use up a ]

Hearing this, the five could barely suppress their mouths from asking, except for one.

"Why was it the five of us that were chosen to be here? Was it by random? Or is there some kind of reason?"

Instead of a question like "Can I go back to my place?" or "What is the purpose of this game?", the other four were surpise to hear a question that they did not think about.

[The reason why the five of you were chosen is because each of you excel in different kinds of games]

[Many have failed the game and ended up destroying themselves. For this reason, five well known game players from your world was chosen. Was that a satisafactory answer?]

"It was. Thank you" Aldo replied.

"For what reason are you abducting people to make us create a country in this place?" Charlie asked.

[I cannot give you an answer as you do not possess a rank that would warrant you to know why]

"Then, how am I- no, how will we do that?"

[By completing missions in the future which will be further explained. Was that a satisfactory answer?]

"It was"

Charlie said, annoyed.

With this, they now know that there would be different kinds of mission that they will need to do in order to advance in the future.

"I can't think of anything to ask AQA with"

"Me too"

[Do not worry, the privilege of asking a question is stackable]

[Once the state of the land improves as the country is built slowly, each of you may get one ]

[The state of the land will improve base on three major factors: Population, Military power, and Economic power. The additional factor involves the citizen's satisfaction which will give out random bonus that may or may not help you]

"How will we increase our population?. We're all men here"

[Either by spending points to buy someone's life in the or by recruiting them]

[Each of you possess one hundred points right now]

[By thinking of your own profile, you will be able to see information regarding about you, which can see as well]

The five of them closed their eyes and focused. Visualizing something they all remember.

Ping!

A flat board appeared before them.

They then saw their status in game like format, the number of coins they possessed, and their body's state.

"Wow. I knew I have a fat ass but I didn't think it would be this big!"

[The and will appear using the same method]

The five went back to thinking about what AQA said.

Ping!

[Welcome to the . What would you like to buy?]

1.) People

2.) Weapon

3.) Armor

4.) Potion

5.) Food

6.) Materials

7.) Books

8.) Building

After almost an hour of browsing, two things left the five puzzled.

"Hey, do you guys see this?"

"Don't worry, you are not the only one who is seeing this absurdity"
