Chapter 144 Race???

Today is the day he let them stop expanding the army 1 million is enough for this country.

Yes, army. These millions were not just normal individuals; they were trained soldiers. He had trained them using a technology known as intelligent memory chips, installed in their minds.

These chips are connected to neurons and the cerebellum, putting experience and skill directly into one's memory.

"Well, now your task is to expand the army to the whole world and other countries. I won't take over just one country, but the whole world," Eero ordered, the One.

Instantly, the order spread to two, three, and so on until it reached a million. The whole organization went into action. Some members started boarding planes toward different countries along with robots, and food machines, food was also supplied through different routes. All machines and robots had self-destructive mechanisms installed inside, rendering even the high-tech in this world useless to get them or any information inside them.

Someone might wonder how he created such a huge organization, and no one knew. First, they were disguised, and Second, those who were discovered within the organization were dead and the one who discovered his organization also died.

Although the country knew about such an organization, they can't do anything. Soon, the whole world would not be able to do anything about it. No one can track his organization members; even if they arrested one or two, they would find no information about the millions of others. Some organization members were even working in high-level departments of country.

Also, Eero had created orphanages in every state and city, run by his organization. You would see adult beggars, but you wouldn't see stray children on the streets of the whole country.

He named the organization and all its facilities, 'future corporation.'

...

Time Passed,

Finally, on December 1st, 2126, Yggdrasil is officially launched, and his baby sister Ada turned five years old, which was a double celebration day for him.

Eero played with her and then took her for a stroll outside the building. But seeing garbage everywhere, his mood sank, and he returned to the apartment. He didn't like such an environment; that's why he rarely goes out.

After cutting the cake, he let Ada play with small robots known as Wall-E and Eve. After she fell asleep happily,

"Well it's time to check out the official version of Yggdrasil." Eero muttered while rubbing Ada head,

Then walked toward his room and lay down inside his white gaming pod. Instantly, his consciousness is transferred to the virtual space.

Ignoring other games, he glanced at the new notification center, seeing the Yggdrasil without the beta mark. A smile appeared on his face. "Let my new journey begin," he muttered and selected it.

Instantly, his consciousness is transferred inside the game startup section.

First, there was a notification and information about Yggdrasil and its history. He already knew about it from playing the beta.

YGGDRASIL mainly referred to Norse mythology and had nine separate worlds based on it: Asgard, Álfheim, Vanaheim, Niðavellir, Midgard, Jötunheim, Niflheim, Helheim, and Múspellsheim. Each world was a leaf of YGGDRASIL with its own particular traits. The other leaves of the tree, however, were said to have been either eaten or shed and transformed into World Items.

Each of these leaves was ridiculously huge, and there were many places within them that were difficult to explore. For instance, there were gigantic swamps, verdant expanses of rainforest, scorching deserts, and the like. Players needed special equipment to delve into the dungeons there, as well as a proper strategy and the determination to risk their life for the trip. This was because these hard-to-find dungeons contained monsters that dropped valuable data crystals.

The most distinctive feature of YGGDRASIL was its flexible system, allowing players the freedom to make choices. Players can select from many races, jobs, and various tools, enabling customization in the game. If a player were to use separately sold creator tools, they can freely alter the appearances of weapons, armor, interior data, character visuals, and advanced settings of their in-game persona or home. The customization system was far-reaching and broad, even allowing basic programming.

When it came to equipment in YGGDRASIL, one can equip magic items in various slots: head, face, body, three pieces of jewelry apart from one's rings, underclothing, arms, hands, left and right rings, waist, legs, and feet. However, one can not equip multiple magic items to the same item slot. While one can wear many magical items around their neck, only the powers from the item that had been the last put on would be usable. Even a suit of full plate armor only counted as taking up the body slot. Players can only put one ring on for each hand.

However, by using the power of a Cash Item, players can put a ring on each finger. Though even if a player's avatar had magic rings on all ten fingers, the maximum number they can activate together was two. A player can manipulate the game's database by using the creator tools and forming original items. One can also buy appearances within the DMMO-RPG. Through doing this, a player can create an unlimited variety of original items. After a certain patch was updated into the game, players were given several ways to change their equipment's appearance without changing their gear.

Eero then passed through the overview stage, reviewed all the information and differences in the official version, and appeared in the race selection stage. He already knew about races.

There were more than 700 races, including racial classes that needed certain levels of low-rank racial class to learn. Races of YGGDRASIL can be roughly categorized into three taxa. In the game, demi-human and heteromorphic races unlocked racial skills when they reached certain levels. Some items can change races permanently. In the game, humans and demi-humans, who had a limited lifespan, would grow and age normally. In contrast to them, heteromorphic races with unlimited lifespans would stop growing after a certain stage.

Humanoid Races included humans, elves, dwarves, etc. Humanoid races were the weakest in basic status and can not have a racial level. Instead, they can learn more classes, which provided high stats or powerful skills more easily, giving them higher potential. Having familiar appearances and advantages, human races were the most popular in YGGDRASIL.

Demi-Human Races included orcs, ogres, lizardmen, etc. Demi-Human races can have more basic statuses and had a racial level. Demi-Human races were similar to the average between Human races and Heteromorphic races. While the Demi-Human races weren't visually appealing, they can still perform better than Humanoid races.

Heteromorphic Races included slimes, vampires, devils, etc. Heteromorphic races owned the most powerful basic statuses, which can be strengthened even more by increasing their racial level. High-ranking races also provided special abilities similar to that of a monster's. Besides providing a racial level and special abilities, the Heteromorphic races were able to also gain more ability points than the Humanoid or Demi-Human races.

However, they were penalized in other ways, as the racial level came at a cost where it limited the amount of jobs levels players can learn. Thus, Heteromorphic races will be very unpopular just for this reason. PKing a Heteromorphic player didn't give any penalty to the player that did it.
