[Starshards]
Starshards are a wonderful concept ingrained into a the game. Think of them as skills assigned to us. Nexus incorporates starshards as the silver orbs revolving around our cores. To use them you have to be able to mentally and consciously transfer a stream of energy into the core. Only then can you use your skill. Aside physique and elemental ones, I haven't seen or heard of other types, even with the arrogant pricks.
Though we were given single starshards each, means to obtain more will probably be introduced soon. Best guess is either from killing mobs or killing other players and taking theirs.
Note that trash like blue and red constructs cannot use starshards.
Rare starshards granting a wider range of abilities will also be introduced.
Thorne was lost in thought. Could his starshard be considered the rare kind?
[Stats]
[State of Solidity]
I would associate the state of Solidity stat to the combination of all the physique stats of other games. It incorporates endurance, strength and agility into one title. It is a concept that enhances the variant nature of the game where player's avatars are constructs, outlines. Improving state of Solidity stat would mean bolder and brighter outlines indicating a stronger physique.
[Integrity]
This should more or less be the health bar. Increasing state of Solidity would increase integrity.
[Energy Output level]
Depiction of the energy produced by the cores.
[Energy Regeneration Rate]
Rate at which energy is regenerated after being used up.
Thorne would be an idiot at this point, if he didn't realize that he seemed to have boundless energy. There was no output level and he didn't even have a regeneration stat. This was next level op.
'The Cosmogem of Energy he got when he first logged in was probably the cause of this.' He thought. This item had replaced his stellar core.
Just what sort of heaven defying luck did he possess to be given this item immediately after logging in.
So far, there hadn't been anything on it making Thorne realize that it wasn't as common as he had assumed. It was only given to him because of his title as the seventh son.
'Seventh Son'
Hold on. It suddenly dawned on him. Didn't this mean he had six other predecessors?
'They should also have Cosmogems'
He thought.
Would theirs be even more ridiculous because they came first?
He shook the thoughts out of his head and continued the article.
[Leveling System]
There isn't really one here; no exp points, no level indications. Mobs give "radiants" which improve state of solidity. Perhaps the state of solidity or the number of starshards will be the level measurement items here
Thorne already knew this.
[NEXUS]
Now the game itself. First of all even though those accursed developers didn't reveal any information on the game, not even to me, me the Supreme, the Divine..., it is safe to assume that the game is an open world exploration one. No npcs, massive and breathtaking world, exquisite and detailed visuals and an ungodly amount of mobs make top tiered in that genre. So far there hasn't been any quests yet but the game will have to introduce them eventually because the repetitiveness will wear out players even with the breathtaking world.
That is all for now mortals. This divine being will grace you with more after today's gaming session. No need to thank me because I consider it my mission to educate the ignorant and illiterate. A tedious mission it is but I don't expect any rewards for I am a pure noble hearted being.
Just hit the thumbs up on your way out.
That was the end of the article. It wasn't much but it did help. Further down was the comment section and as expected, there were 1.5M comments
Oldaccrasmostoutstandingcitizen: Was the Supreme Divine entity begging for likes?????????????

Meanwhile....
In a dimly lit room, twelve people round an oakwood table. The oppressive aura in the room was so chilling that it manifested snowflakes. On the oakwood was a number of documents so confidential that it would have sparked a riot should a single sentence in one of them have been leaked.
To these big bosses however, these documents weren't much. They weren't as consequential as the words from that man's mouth.
Eleven of them gazed expectantly at the man in the in the seat of honor. Sensing their gazes, the man in the seat of honor spoke and his first words drew a collective gasp from the eleven.
"We shall proceed with the plan, your votes have been vetoed."
His voice was cold and his words authoritative. He was leaving no room for discussion. Whether the others agreed or not had no effect on him. He had spoken and his word was law.
"The families have turned to the government and their proof of alliance was the very weapon we sought to use to destroy it."
"We can't allow the government to raise it's own forces."
"That is why this must be done."
"That is why it will be done."
"And when the dust finally settles,..."
He dragged his chair out.
"We would have already won."
Rising from his seat, he walked to the only door in the room.
"All of you shall be detained until it begins."
His cold voice reverberated in the room as he left.
A commotion ensued in his wake.
