[would you like to open the 'Starting Gift Box' now? *doing so will allow you to pick 3 of the 5 listed items in the Gift Box. After choosing your items you will be transported to a random starting location within the Wasteland area.]
[OPEN BOX]
(YES) (NO)
After hesitating slightly OB clicked the (YES) option and waited to see what happens.
As the 'Starting Gift Box' gently opens a warm golden light envelops the empty space around OB and the box. As the golden light diminishes 5 different colored orbs are floating in front of the box, each one with a tag detailing what the orb contains. From left to right there was a: Crimson Orb, Orange Orb, Amber Orb, Vermillion Orb, and a Black Orb. As Ouroborus got closer to read the orbs a screen pops out of the top of each of them. The Crimson Orb contains a shelter core, a basic survival bucket, and a paxel. The Orange Orb contains some food and water rations and several basic materials.
The Amber Orb contains a Survival Manual.
The Vermillion Orb contains a farm core, a well Kit, and a scarecrow. The Black Orb contains !¿?¿?¡ and running shoes.
*ding* [Which 3 Orbs would Ouroborus like to choose?]
After looking at all the different choices he had OB was curious about why the Black Orb had an unnamed item, but he couldn't let that slow him down now. He thinks for a moment and then confidently says "I choose the Crimson Orb! the Vermillion Orb! and the Black Orb!"

Good Luck Surviving!]
As he finished hearing the message and seeing the text box he looked around to see himself at a small-medium sized oasis in the middle of what seems like a dense ring of palm trees and wondering what 'Survival Chance' was supposed to represent and how to open his inventory. As he thought 'inventory' a screen popped up that showed all his previously named items in a grid like pattern that is 5Ă—5 with some empty slots, and some grayed out slots as well, that had the words [upgrade survival level to unlock] hovering above them.
This only left OB with more questions than when he started, but now he had some clear goals in mind:
1. Check his immediate surroundings
2. Scout for a good spot to use 'Shelter Core'
3. Find out what his 'Survival Level' is
4. Find out how to raise his 'Survival Level'
5. Set Up 'Shelter Core' and 'Farm Core'
6. Use 'Well Kit' near 'Farm Core'
With these goals in mind he started checking around the Oasis for anything useful while also looking for a good spot to use his 'Cores'. After a few minutes of looking around, he notices a small crate sitting near the edge of the liquid in the oasis.
