1 Alantians

During an expedition in 2037 , archeologists found unknown technology in a massive cavern they uncovered when they used explosives after the entrance was sealed. Two months after the discovery they were kidnapped after a big corporate company specializing in technology got wind of the discovery. The group of a dozen or two archeologists were beaten before one of them revealed the location and were killed off.

Three years after that the company was purged and anyone involved in the incident or those who committed crimes including the owner were taken care of. Max who started the purge became the new owner and Jose became the ceo. The rest either gained important positions or became part of the new research team.

After barely touching the tip of the iceberg did they make Aurora. After some experiments did they conclude it was safe to run a beta where over two million people were invited to take part. The game was officially released to the public two years later.

On the balcony of a eight floor apartment stood a young man with a phone talking with his friend about a certain topic for the militionth time."So Kage have you tried the game yet!" said an excited voice.

" I haven't tried it as i am short on money unlike a certain someone" Hinted kage in his response.

Kage received a notification that 150 thousand was transferred in his bank. He was stunned as he saw that large amount of cash transferred into his bank account.

"Now you won't have an excuse on why you can't play the game" Laughed the person speaking to Kage.

Kage thought and sighted before he said ,"Fine I'll play because I dont want to be bothered and you are being generous. I might as well ask you about the character creation process. This should be fine with you Max."

"I don't have a problem with telling you. When someone logs in for the first time they will spawn in a void where you can create your character aswell as choose your own appearance or alter it by a 20%. You can then look at the races available or check what class their are using the icon at the bottom right which no one notices. Most races available may benefit the class you choose. Races available are Humans, Elves, Dwarves, Orcs and a hidden race available which only a dozen have been allowed to choose. Classes are the Warrior , Thief ,Mage ,Knight ,Brawler ,Archer and Priest. Well that's all I remember. Goodnight." Said Max before the call ended.

Kage a gave thought about his choice before he went into his room and to sleep.

The next day he went online and went to a website owned by the company selling Aurora and the nexus. After some time on the website he found the latest model which was sold around 25k and immediately bought it recieving a notification of it arriving in 2 days.

He decided to use the rest of the money to pay off any debt he had so he wouldn't have to worry about it in the future. This left him with only 3695 dollars to use in the future. He checked the time seeing it was 9:34 am and decided to get ready to go to work. One it hit 10 am he went to work.

In a room with over two dozen people sat jose at the end of the table who was in deep thought before someone made a cough loud enough for everyone to hear.

"After 2 years of research were we able to make the first dozen prototypes and As you know there is one more apart from the dozen we have that was developed by Cody which is codenamed scarlet. Instead of that bulky figure the nexus has the prototype is in the form of a bracelet. We have 12 candidates for the dozen we made however scarlet is missing a user and we haven't decided who it is" said a middle-aged man.

"Well I have someone in mind and the ceo knows who I'm talking about. Right Jose ?" said an old man in a lab coat.

"I know who you are talking about and I'm not sure if he should be a 'Test Subject' as he is a good friend of Max " Replied Jose

"We all know about the ruins,technology found and one of the many races that lived there. That race being the Alantians. We were only able to create Aurora with the help of their technology. All of us know the rest so I shouldn't need to say anything else." said the same young man.

Everyone nodded their head.

"Well why are you bringing this up if we already know this 'Cody'." Said someone else watching a video of people 'Excersing'.

"I thought you wouldn't be talking with you being busy" Replied Cody knowing what the person who spoke was doing.

The person who spoke was embarrassed when he heard what cody said.

"Anyway , The chairman's friend has a negligible amount of Alantian dna and a requirement for a person to use scarlet is to have the dna of one of the few races available. I also know this was a dumb move on my part and I would change it if I could but I unfortunately can't as scarlet was built mainly using the tech from the ruins and very little human tech. The machine used to build scarlet is also alantian tech but it no longer works as it broke down 3 hours after scarlet was build due to the passage of time.

Another reason is because the bloodline of the other races is nearly gone except those who were lucky enough to inherit even a single trace of it. Kage even though he has a negligible amount was able to awaken that negligible amount was at best able to gain faster regeneration which is 1.1 better than normal humans. This is why I feel he is the perfect test subject." Said a Cody with an excited tone.

Everyone immediately started discussing and after half an hour did everyone voice their opinion.

" Well it seems that about 80 percent of you agree with me. With this many people agreeing I see no problem ceo ?" said cody

"Seeing more than half of everyone agrees I shall accept your proposal. The meeting is over and I believe everyone has something to do." said Jose in a displeased tone.

'Max won't be happy' sighed jose as he was in deep thought while everyone left.

Jose took out his phone calling max after a minute of thinking about what would happen.
