The Game of Evolution version 1

Jack Darwin and 9 other candidates are taken from earth and have been chosen to compete in The game of Evolution. In which each candidate gets a choice of 1 prime race and 2 minor races to control,command, and evolve. The candidate will all be on the same planet of ludum mundi and will have to fight to survive against the other contestants and the world itself. (Had this idea in my mind thought I'd try it out) Also since there has been problems beacuse of the update I will be uploading under the same name for my profile and story on royal road. https://www.royalroad.com/profile/308429

"So it keeps up with everything happening that convenient"-Jack

Jack was just waiting for something to happen as he was sitting on the park bench, but he noticed that something was getting closer until he realized it was the other domes. They kept coming together until he also saw that they were now above the planet instead of around it, and the domes continued forward. Jack was nervous as it looked like they would crash into each other, killing everyone.

Just before that happened, though, the domes line up to each other into a circle before a metal flooring began slowly closing the space in the middle.

Then doors opened up on each dome, letting everyone outside, but no one did. The floor was solid, but what about the roof, which allowed you to see the stars so clearly.

Jack thought for a second and decided to go through the door. Why would we do all this just to be killed, so he walked towards the exit as he went through.He was surprised he was the 3rd person to come out as others also did noticing those who went first and saw no danger.

All the candidates sized each other up, finding differences and trying to see any weakness it seemed. However, most of the people were on edge. While the silence followed, a familiar monotonous voice sounded out.

■Well done in getting here candidates without any major issues. I hope you will all give us a great game and make your planet proud■

■Now, before the game begins, you have been advised that the first 10 generations will be just you watching as your races. Gets used to the planet and see if they learn, adapt, survive, or thrive without your immediate help. Good luck, candidates■

At once, they were all teleported to their designated places in which the candidate's main race was placed. They all had access to multiple viewpoints like a video game with close up, wide shots, overhead shot, and more and was able to focus on a single creature or a group which currently there was none.

Jack watched as 12 Jackrixis/rixis had been placed, which was a mix of 3 biomes, a large desert that expanded endlessly. A large jungle sprawled across the land opposite the desert with some massive plains separating the two harsher environments from each other.

"Haaah, this is happening. Okay, it seems like an okay starting area. I mean, three options are good if they don't like one. Or competition is too fierce and gives them lots of different resources. I just hope they're gonna be okay. I mean, they aren't strong since I planned for the long game and with the weakness given by the system for its help. They will have some tough times. I can only hope that in the next 250 years, they can form groups at the least."-Jack

"Wait, I'm going to be sitting here for 250 years!?"-Jack

[]Negative host time will speed when need of there is a lull in entertainment so if it's boring you could only be here for a week but the longest being 1 month since we can't be waiting this long[]

"Oh hey, system your back, great, so wait, what happens to the other? Then, if they only take a week and another takes a month?"-Jack

[]There is time dilation used, so the 10 generations end at the same time, nothing to worry about[]

"Oh, that's good. Hopefully, I can get through this fast"-Jack

[]host you may want the opposite[]

"Why would I want that?"-Jack

[]Beacuse if you are the first to finish more likely than not, it means your race either died or did nothing of importance, which means you will lag behind the other candidate[]

"Wow, you're right. If nothing happens, my race stays weak they need to be strong and brave and adventurous to gain benefits and understanding of the world around"-Jack

[]Indeed[]

"If all they did was stay by themselves not doing much or learning, they will be crushed. That's why even though it's a risk, it's worth it to survive in the long run"-Jack

[]Since we are a team beside restricted information, I can not divulge. I would say you made a smart choice picking the skills you did[]

"Oh, thank god I...I needed that. I've just been guessing so far, so why's it good? Is it the same reason I chose it for?"-Jack

[]Correct being a part of a group brings many benefits, and with your other skills, it weakens some of the negatives that come with them[]

"Great, so when will they start making groups or tribes?"-Jack

[]Hmm, with some luck 150 to 200 Years[]

That made Jack freeze as he heard that like a knife to the heart.

"W.what I'm sorry 150 to 200 years! but what about my skills? I can't wait that long!"-Jack

[]Well what did you think they were just gonna join into one big group and start hugging no host they are living creatures with wills of their own as you can see they have all been put on their own to start[]

"Yea, I can see that kinda still hurts though"-Jack

He could see that all 12 rixis had been placed apart in the 3 different biomes with 4 in each, and they were spread out.

From each other, at different lengths, some were 20 minutes away others 2 hours all alone some may stay exactly where they are and won't see another rixis other may bump into one straight away while exploring.

If they see each other, they could just leave each other alone or meet up to mate or have a brawl for dominance, which both the males and females did.

As said before, currently, they were wild animals, not even the hunters Jack envisioned them to be they were primal to the core, but that could change.

[]I should mention host that for the first week, there will be no skips so you can get used to working the system and viewpoints and see how your race first handles itself[]

"But I thought you said nothing will happen"-Jack

[]Wrong host it is just unknown if you get extremely lucky your races take a liking to each other quickly team up and start building a culture and religion and you'll be In top shape...or half of them could get slaughtered[]

"I wish I knew Spanish swear words right now. I can't keep saying Oh my God, it's getting old...alright, I'll trust that my colourful boys will do well."-Jack

[]I must admit they are unique. The colors of some of them do look aesthetically pleading, such as the red-skinned Jackrixis in the desert biome with blue eyes he is a male and look very well[]

"Oh yea, even at their weakest, they look cool, so wait, they only live to be 25 is that cause of diseases and being weakened?"-Jack

[]Indeed host without being weakened the would live to 30 but since they are still a new race they won't be long-lived but from most games, normal races live between 3000 to 550 years old sometimes being old isn't the greatest but it has its benefits[]

"Wow, that's seriously cool, and that's the normal ones at I'm guessing the peak"-Jack

[]Yes and no[]

"What do you mean?"-Jack

[]restricted information sorry host[]

While this chat was going on, Jack watched the screen of his race. Most had moved around some touching different plants and trees. Though he could see they were all different in certain ways besides looks like how some were extremely cautious moving only 15 meters in an hour constantly on watch.

While others like a 9-year-old were running through a plain chasing a lizard hunting..well, he was not hunting more tripping and jumping at the poor lizard while slamming his body on the ground trying to get it.

But the young rixis prevailed as his claws slashed the lizard, killing it, and the boy quickly ravaged its small corpse.

It didn't notice until it looked up after hearing the noise, but it saw something that looked familiar or at least the mouth, arms, and lower body.

And from the looks, it was also a young female slightly younger around 7 watching the boy and his prize seeing the girl.

The boy bolted, trying to make sure his kill would not be stolen and himself killed and eaten while the girl watched him flee until she shrugged and moved on to find dinner.

"Okay, I see what you mean. This may take a while-Jack
