His movents were precise and surgical. They were the product of talent and hours of practice. They were flawless, and they were deadly.
He is not so superhuman. He is just a highly skilled individual that knew how best to move in order to kill. Now that his body can't hold him back anymore, he can finally unleash his potential.
It is sothing he has always craved to do. If there were no virtual reality gas, he would be an assassin just for the thrill of it, not for the money. That's why he chose to participate in God's Domain.
Sure, it would be nice to be able to heal any injury, regain his youthful body, and live forever, but those are not the main reasons why he is here. He is doing it just for the love of the ga. So he would have done all of these even if there were no tangible rewards to have.
He eventually died after 20 minutes of intensive fighting. His stamina failed him, so he beca slower and sloppy. The rats overwheld him and killed him. But he died laughing and happy. His laughter rang throughout the night like those of a madman.
He lost consciousness for a while before he appeared in a white room. A voice from an unknown source spoke to him.
"Congratulations on passing the survival trial. You have proven your worth. You can leave God's Domain now and wait for the start of the training session in your world, or wait here. Which do you want?"
"There's going to be training?" He asked in excitent.
"Yes. God's Domain will be introduced to you, and you will be equipped with the minimum amount of information and resources required to survive in it. It will not do for you to die because of ignorance."
That made AB pause. He asked, "What kind of death are you referring to?"
"Deaths in God's Domain will lead to a loss of half of the power you have acquired in the ga. It is not permanent, but it can lead to delibitating effects that you will experience in real life. It can be permanent if a god kills you, and you can even die in the real world if a particularly powerful god kills you. So training is good for you."
AB thought about it and decided to rest to keep himself in top shape for the training. The fact that a death in God's Domain can make him die in the real world didn't affect his resolve at all. If anything, it has only made him decide to take this ga more seriously.
He returned to the world, smiling to himself. "This God's Domain has both good and bad real-life consequences. I hope it will help others take it seriously; that way I won't be the odd one out."
He had always been the odd perforr in virtual reality gas because he was always serious and took things in the gas too far. But now he feels that everyone has to be like him this ti around.
Most of the people that passed the survival trial decided to return to the real world to process what they had just gone through. They noticed that even though so of them spent 3 days in the trial, only 30 seconds had gone by in the real world.
It was not a fignt of their imagination either. They recalled sleeping for hours and the hours of terror they experienced hiding in cellars in the ga. But when they returned to their hos on earth, they found out that ti had barely passed.
The Heavenly Corporation claid that they were using advanced technologies to simulate dream conditions. This way, people will be able to experience more ti in the ga than in the real world.
This claim increased the influence of God's Domain. It ca along with the outcry of protest against the fact that the ga could kill them in the real world.
No one is doubting that they can make it happen. Not after every claim that the Heavenly Coperation has made has been fulfilled. No one has died yet, and it is absurd to think that it is possible for death in the ga to affect real life, but they don't want this particular promise to be fulfilled, so they are already fighting against it.
Unfortunately, the Heavenly Corperation is not moved by public sentint. They didn't listen to anyone, which wasn't surprising. They did what they always did. They ignored everyone who had sothing to say about how they should do things.
No governnt or individual could move them or change their minds. They don't have their ga sowhere where it can be banned, deleted, or hacked. They are free from public influence.
Not even the threat of boycotting the ga moved them. Instead of backing down, they decided to push forward.
They made an announcent that anyone who passed the survival trial can live on in the ga forever even if they die of old age. They promised that their minds can live on if their bodies give out. That is as long as they don't die in the ga.
This marked the promise of actual and virtual longevity. Now they could live an eternal virtual existence in the ga, or they could earn elixir from the ga and live forever in the real world.
These claims, despite not having been delivered yet, beca the final nail in the coffin used to bury the self-respect of humans. The online and real-world protests still continued, but they lost montum quickly.
The only reason the protests hadn't collapsed yet is that the promises of eternal life hadn't been delivered yet. No one had t the requirents to acquire them, but many more people were striving harder than before to et those requirents.
Instead of protesting, they spent most of their ti training in the real world so that they could fight better.
A/N: Have you ever wondered what it would feel like and how it would happen if aliens ca with advanced technologies to set up a ga with an ulterior motive? Not , though. I have more serious things to think about.
