The day of the launch ca, it was important and even though a despondent Cole would have very much preferred to spend the entire day lying on the ground surrounded by wrappers of instant noodles; he had to connect to the Titan Rising servers and log in through the neural do. Now normally you would need hardware that could store the ga you were connecting to, but after revolution of cluster cloud storage and servers 87 years ago, the need to download gas or any sort of content was completely eliminated. All you needed to do was just connect with your neural do and you can have access to it, this pretty much revolutionized MMO as a whole. But even at that Cole did not need to move from his position and while it would have been better for him to get into a comfortable position, the earlier ntioned despondence would definitely not let him do so.
"Morgan Log In to Titan Rising event server."
[As you wish Master Cole, now logging in. connecting 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0! initiating cloud bridge, testing connection, connection secure! Logged in! Have a pleasant gaming experience Master Cole]
A stadium, or at least that was what Cole thought it was. Instead it seed more like he was in so giant coliseum, one that was so large it could comfortably sit 5 million people and then so. The roar of the crowd that he was suddenly now a part of was annoying as it was inducing a headache. Cole ignored the people animatedly talking around him and paid attention to the giant holographic letters, spelling out WELCO, before focusing on the stat sheet prompt that followed, triggered by the welco ssage.

This was the shit about Titan Rising that both drew people to it and made others wary. Of course they always said that all information relayed was confidential, but being able to call out life information and secrets at the drop of a hat seems extre, and it would spook anybody looking to the play the ga for the first ti. Titan Rising was different, there were no set templates of classes or races, instead it would be narrowed down for you based on your history and personality, but even at that it's not fully locked in until you've reached Level 10, and you have slotted Prisms into your Stat nodes. And even at that the stats your receive are randomized, playing on your personality and character. So there would be no expectations of the traditional Strength, Agility, etc.
You might get it, but sotis you won't. You might have all ntal stats for your 4 primary, then you're allowed to pick a secondary to at least try and have a semblance of balance or you could still play to your strengths and specialize. By level 10, race and class options will be given, and it will be based on play style so far, stats, the Prisms that might have been gained and the skills they bestow. All characters are unique and even though two people had the sa class, they'd have different races and different set of skills to have unlocked the class, making for an extrely diverse and unique character.
"Hello everyone and welco to Titan's Rising last and final event!"
The booming voice drew Cole out of his musings, even more so followed by the screams of excitent he just heard. He wasn't so sure he wanted to be around people right now, but he had to be here. This was probably the only thing that made sense in his life right now. Like his grandmother always taught him, he had to be like water, go with flow and adapt to his situations, just like Bruce Lee has said.
"Not much information has been given about this new event, but now I'll let you in on just what you're all here for!"
Again there were more screams, the person giving the ssage was so disembodied specter like head, massive, probably the size of the moon or sothing, floating in the middle of the coliseum and completely black and white. it sort of reminded Cole of that guy from that old ani about a bunch of kids stuck in a ga, he hoped this doesn't turn out to be sothing similar, he had nobody to look after him, so his body will probably just die.
"This Event has created not just a whole other server, but this server is a layer. A practical tower of 25 floors, with each floor differing in scope, size, the, and challenge. Each person has 10 lives for the whole of the event, of course there are certain treasures, skills, classes, even races that can help you get more lives, at a cost of course. But none of that is on this floor. Either way, you die ten tis and you are stuck on the floor your life got finished on, until it's destruction and you're eliminated from the event.
Now listen very carefully to the rules of this event, every floor, regardless of scope or size has an endga. There are tons of quests to be completed on each floor, tons of treasures, weapons and prisms to be found, not to ntion the Easter eggs. So of the rewards you get have real world consequences, such as earning a voucher for ten million dollars! Or winning a house or a trip off world to the colonies and space stations. Nevertheless each floor only exists for a little while, you all have to actively try to find the way to the next floor, while constantly surviving. On each floor you will have to survive against its denizens, invaders, or other Aspirants. Nevertheless one thing should be made clear to all of you.
Alliances are allowed, teams and guilds can be ford and made, but in the end for this event there can only be one Winner. Everyone you see is a potential ally, but more so than that, they are all definite enemies. Either way you all should have fun, and give the rest of the Milky Way Galaxy a show that they deserve. Take note my Aspirants that this event will change the course of history for humanity as a whole, the world, even the entire universe itself will change as a new Era would be ushered in. It will be an era of chaos, war, destruction and creation, heroes and villains, and you 5 million out of 67 billion humans across the universe has been chosen to be vanguards! The event officially starts now, and your adventure into the final calls of Titan Rising and opening songs of a new era begins… now!"
Cole blinked his eyes as the head disappeared, the cheers that followed was quite deafening, and it was more than annoying to boot. There was sothing about the speech that was just given, honestly he couldn't put his fingers on it, but it seed positively ominous. But since he couldn't figure it out, he shrugged his shoulders and tried to hunker down as his stat Page was finally accessible to him, and probably everyone else as the cheers of 5 million people slowly ebbed, into small chatters that were all still quite loud.

Augnts:
There were dozens of stats that Cole could have chosen, but the best was attunent. It didn't make a magical acolyte as choosing the magic stat would have done that, or a psionic like the mind stat would have. Attunent was a grey area stat that covered almost anything, giving him connection with practically anything and anyone. The more high his attunent, the more he would be contact with everything that made the world move. More encounters, not being limited to only one energy source, and overall just being more applicable to a lot of things in general. It wasn't a stat that saw much use or gave an edge during the early stages of the ga or even the late stages, specialization was the key to success in Titan Rising, your build matters. But if you were soone like Cole who wanted to avoid everyone else and just be on his own, then Attunent worked just fine. And then a rip in reality appeared, and from it a massive tentacular appendage flew out and smashed into a section of the bleachers, quite a few people turned into streams of light as they were killed suddenly.
