3 Gaia

Rule #1 .- Everything is fine even if it's not fine.

…..

When I woke up, I was floating in fetal position inside a kind of semi-transparent sphere full of multicolor water changing from one color to another as it flow creating a mystical scene.

Suddenly, a Throbbing pain pierced my chest and a dark red fluid as blood started to spread from the center of my body.

The multicolored water began to recede as the fluid started to extend through the strange liquid, coloring the area around me in a blood ruby color.

Suddenly, the red fluid expanded covering all the sphere and subsequently concentrating on the edges.

Then, without advice, the sphere started to contract, and the liquid contracted as I began to feel its pressure.

The pressure felt just as if it was going to crush me from the outside in.

But unexpectedly, the pressure decreased as the sphere ended to contract and it integrated with me as it entered in my chest.

When the integration ended, I felt as if lava was running through my veins burning my whole body and melting every obstacle that got in its way.

The feeling was that overwhelming that I didn't notice that I was emitting enormous amounts of a kind of multicolor essence that expanded around me like the center of a supernova.

The burning feeling gradually disappeared as I began to feel a feeling of comfortable and power that flooded my whole being.

It was so addictive that I wished it last forever.

It was not until It ended that I have the time to understand my situation and begin to think about what have just happened.

Because even if it took a long of time to describe, all happened in a very short period causing a flood of feelings that dizzied until it ended.

I started to look around me to have an idea of my situation.

I was lying on a pure golden floor that seemed to be make of gold, the irregular walls on each side of the enormous room like rows of Pilars that held the sky above us, but instead a blue sky, the ceiling of the as tall as huge room was full of brilliant crystals as shining stalactites resting on the ceiling like crystal chandeliers illuminating the space with their mystic light.

But the most amazingly thing was the throne, a throne at the end of stairs made of an unknown material, its thought look as stone Discarded the possibility to be gold, but the majesty and primitive power that it exhibited was like a relic of antiquity.

And on the top of those majestic stairs, a platform where a magnificent and intricate throne make of a kind of ivory emitted a mesmerizing presence, as if it were the throne of a god, and the intricate stained glass and as pillars structure behind that filtered the light make it look even holier and dazzling.

But instead of being an unknown place, this place was in fact too familiar to me.

this is… my throne Hall.

Or more specifically, the throne Hall that I have in the game of "Ruling Civilizations".

I'm sure of that because I expended more time in the game than in the real life, I can recognize it with a look.

I slowly walked through the room and climbed the stairs, then I sat on the throne and I felt as if I were in the place where I belong to.

I posed each arm on every side of the throne instinctively and enjoyed every second of it until…

Beep! Beep! Beep!

[ Negative consequences undetected ] [ Initiating Procedure] [ Sealing Energy in the world's Core … ] [ Unknown Failure ] [ Permission to use the Ruler's Authority ]

[ Yes/No ]

" Yes. " I said instinctively thanks to the experience that I have of the game, and my experience with the emergencies.

Then a too familiar feeling invaded me as I felt how the world's core linked with me, and then I felt as if a stream of "something" began to fluid to the world's core.

[ Granted Permission ] [Abnormality Detected ] [ I detect an Increase of the authority's power ]

[ I Detect an increase of the cores quality ] [Congratulations to our Ruler of Transcending to the next Grade]

"Thanks. " I said sincerely, and then Gaia continued with the process.

[ Using Energy Authority to suppress and seal the unknown energy in the planet core… ] [ Success]

[ Unexpected event detected] [ The energy is trying to merge with the planet core ] […unregistered event detected, procedure to follow not found ]

[ Unregistered event detected] [Waiting for instructions ]

Gaia said, and the pop-up windows of the system turned suddenly into a shining red.

The red color and emergency sounds and alerts just baffled more my mind while I sink into confusion.

Ah, fxxk, an unregistered event? What should I do, what should I do, I don't know what to do, I don't know what is happening, I was about to leave the game and then I woke up in the throne room and my assistance system said that the planet is passing through a crisis and I'm about to I'm about to screw me.

The worries flooded my mind while I entered in panic because my unknown situation and my mind gets blurry and it won't let me think.

But it just lasted a moment until I calmed down, I decided that panicking wouldn't solve nothing and I need to solve this crisis first, so I counted to ten slowly and decided to solve this first and think about the rest later.

" Inhale, Exhale, Fuu~ " . I sigh and I began to think about solutions.

Okay, let's go.

After thinking for a minute and create and discard many possibly plans in my mind with a inconceivable speed that I didn't feel so unnatural, I decided one with my fit and principles of "Always have a backup plan".

" Gaia, Let the unknown energy merge and use my Energy Authority to refine the energy into a purest form and gain more domain against it, then, instead of let it merge with the actual energy of the world's core by the usual way, use the Matter Domain to transform it into a more physical form while merging, that way the energy will take a material form and it will fusion directly with the core avoiding the possibility of contaminating the core and increasing exponentially the control of the core over it in case of an accident."

[ Order Received ] [ Executing Order ]

[ Order in progress… ] [ Success ] [ Estimated time until the end of the assimilation : 7 Days ]

"Perfect." I thought in my mind and I continued with my instructions.

" Now, with the excuse of the emerging of a new energy and his merge with the planet, please activate the "Isolation barrier" and disguise it as the planetary barrier used during upgradings and grade increases while projecting a false sky in the sky to avoid the panic increase."

During some situations of "weakness" Vanaheim use a barrier to protect of possible attacks and hostile intentions, that is the usual barrier that is used pretty often.

Compared, the Isolation barrier is a barrier that is used during great emergencies as a Great War or an extinction level threat, It's conformed by the highest technology of Ruling Civilizations and is designed to Isolate the whole planet of the rest of the universe and help us to survive even if the universe collapses and physics laws change.

the unique inconvenient is…

[ Order Received, Executing…] [ Alert! The use of the isolation barrier on all the planet will take the 10% of the actual energy available, are you sure of this decision? ]

No! I'm not sure! Who is sure of something in this kind of situation!? But is the better idea I have right now!

" Yes, I'm sure please continue but before that please contact some members of the royal army to take some stellar injectors to recollect some energy from the nearest star as well as inform us of our new neighborhood "

[ Notifying the royal army… ] [ Something more? ]

" No, that's all, thanks." I was about to ask for suppress the information but I think that's too much, because it isn't my plan to keep the actual situation as a secret

[ There is no need in thanking me, is literally the purpose of my existence]

" I still don't understand your humor. " I said and then I closed the system.

I took a minute to breathe and rest and then I touched the digital bracelet in my right hand and I used it to contact Valerine who answered instantly.

" What do you need, your majesty? "

" Please program a press conference for tomorrow in the morning "

" Understood." She said and then she asked " Is everything okay? Is strange to have a press conference of His majesty himself and they is an air of restlessness among the citizens because of the lights a time before and the suddenly deployment of the barrier "

My first reaction was " Oh wow, that was faster", but after considering it a little I said.

" No, there is nothing wrong, All is fine and all is gonna be fine "
