Era of Virtual Terra
"Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything" (1)
- - -
It really feels like I'm reincarnated. Everything's happening is simply impossible.
This is not illusions nor hallucinations.
He even searches on the internet. What he saw in the game is the highly anticipated official open-beta of the 'second world' EoVT.
EoVT is the number one trending now even if it's New Year!
Although, it has already started for approximately 7 hours now.
EoVT is actually launching the open-beta of not only Fantasy World (gaming world), but there are another three Worlds of Era of Virtual Terra too!
[7:00 A.M. - Saturday, 1st of January]
After ten minutes arranging the virtual helmet gear in his bedroom, It's finally finished.
Although Lydro is quite late, he's still taking his time preparing.
Then, he first ate his breakfast and took a bath.
By 7:45 AM, he put somethings in his arms, legs, chest and finally his helmet.
"Era of Virtual Terra, here I come!"

EoVR, the second world of people's lives in 2050.
The founders of EoVR are actually the group of dancers, singers, and gamers who found a new type of energy in 2031.
They came from different countries and was founded in 2016.
They've become famous and become the world's phenomenon group!
In 2030, they become their country's ambassadors to go into space!
This exploration is actually in a large-scale!
They went to different planets and explored the universe!
After a year exploring the universe, their spaceship has mysteriously disappeared!
But after a day, they suddenly appeared on Earth!
And they said that they were gone for 1 year!
They said they were actually been teleported into an advanced civilization and have been living there for a year!
After a year and for an unknown reason, they were forced to choose what to do among these 3 choices:
1. They will stay there forever.
2. They will go back to Earth and they can choose something on the planet as a gift to Earth from this advanced civilization. But, in exchange, they will allow them to see their memories since birth to civilization and they will never able to go back there anymore.
3. They can go to another more advanced civilization but there are three consequences if you want to go there. (they didn't say what the consequences are)
They have chosen the second choice and they have all agree with that decision.
It's also because of the hospitality the civilization gave to them and also to help them to discover different cultures of Earth and also because of different reasons.
They went home and have chosen a gift from the advanced civilization.
They have chosen the new type of energy that they used to create virtual worlds.
This type of energy can do different things and it's quite common in the civilization they went to. So they've got a very big amount of this type of energy.
This energy called space-time continuum energy.
Because of this energy, they had created EoVT.
The game become so instantly famous because of it's feature, where the time is 2 times slower, or two minutes in the game is one minute in the real world. (2-1 conversion)
The game can also be played while sleeping and also the EoVT consists of 4 worlds.
The Entertainment World
The Music and Dance World
The United World (or the Second Earth)
And The Fantasy World! (Or the Gaming World)
The Entertainment World is a place where you play different games in the virtual world and it's also the place where you can watch movies, shows, etc.
The Music and Dance World is where you can learn to play different instruments and can listen to music from different countries. There, you can pick a virtual instructor to teach you how to dance or sing.
They have created the Music and Dance World because of their group. Their group has been created for them to dance and they have become famous because of their music and dances.
The United World (or the Second Earth) is a replica of Earth. It's a place to work, you can explore the world without moving a bit, you can play different sports, etc.
(Reminder: EoVT time are two times slower than the real world)
The Fantasy World (or the Gaming World) It's the largest world and it's the world that took a really long time to build. It's where you can level up, fight monsters, PvP, protecting your kingdom, etc.
The one who is in charge of EoVT is the World United, they are the cooperation of over 50 countries. And they have all been creating the EoVT for 18 years. (they even used a time deceleration of 4 times to create these)
As to not create disputes or prejudices, they have created different kinds of rules and used the Advanced Mother A.I Technology to become the administrator or the controller of EoVT.
Of course, they can control EoVT too. It's just for the editing, updates, for the bugs and some features to add.

To build something new, we must accept the end of something in order to begin.
The adventure of life is to learn.
The purpose of life is to grow.
The nature of life is to change.
The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new. (2)
Synchronization Complete!
Then a panel came to Lydro, saying:
[ This is Era of Virtual Terra,
The Fantasy World, Gemini Continent
Would you like to designate a name for your character?
Or the system will give you a name? ]
"Yes, I would you like to designate a name for myself," reply Lydro.
[ Please designate a name for your character. ]
"Lydro."
Actually, Lydro is not his real name, it's his nickname.
[ In Fantasy World, you need a job or class, there are four types of class and twelve main jobs.
Please choose the class type that you like the most:
Warrior Types: Berserker, Guardian, Monk
Weapons Types: Weapon specialists (swordsman, spearman…), Assassin, Ranger
Support Types: Cleric, Enchanter, Shaman.
Magical Types: Mages, Summoner, Cursemancer.
For now, you can only pick the type of class.
Only after level 20, you can pick the main job in the class type you picked.
System Suggestion for Lydro: Support Type ]
In Lydro's past life, he chose to be an enchanter, support type because of the system's suggestion.
He is used and far familiar to the enchanter class and he wants to be a Bardic Sage, so he'll definitely choose support types.
Lydro replied, "I'll choose Support Types."
[ Choosing Support Type Class…
Successful!
Do you wish to change your appearances?
The adjustment rate is limited to 15%. ]
"Yes"
Lydro has an average Italian appearance. He has brownish blue eyes, has a matte light brown skin tone, has a dark brown hair, has a glossy chick, and a small pimple. He is skinny and has an above-average height.
He has changed his height a little, he made his eyes bigger, his nose pointier, his hairstyle and he made his body bulkier a little bit.
After that, the system alarmed again, [ Please choose a Kingdom birthplace. ]
The system showed Lydro a map of a Gemini Continent. The empires are greyed out so they can't choose an empire.
There are also two kingdoms, who are greyed out. That means that they are full.
In the open beta of the game, in one kingdom's players' population is only ten thousand.
The Gemini Continent has an overall 60 kingdoms and unknown numbers of empires.
The Gemini Continent is actually three times bigger than Earth!
In Gemini Continent, a Kingdom is inferior to an Empire.
In the beginning, you can pick what kingdom and what city you want to go to. The village you will go to will be random.
After level 5, you can go to the other villages, of course, the villages beside your original village.
In level 10, you can go to the city. In level 50, you can officially go to an Empire. And in level 100, you can officially go to another continent.
In Lydro's last life, he went to Iris kingdom with Leo.
But after his family said that he'll be the vice-leader of their guild, he needed to go to Wodah's kingdom, where his family guild will be.
Lydro's family has access in the closed beta player site so they already know that Wodah's kingdom is Shadow kingdom.
It's also in the Wodah's kingdom where he found the treasures of God of Disguise.
In the very corner in the south of Gemini Continent is where the Wodah's Kingdom in.
"I choose Wodah's kingdom."
[ Wodah's Kingdom confirmed. Please choose a city in Wodah's Kingdom. ]
The system showed a map of Wodah's Kingdom and there are only four cities.
"Umbra City."
Lydro chose the city in the South of Wodah's Kingdom.
[ City confirmed. Player will arrive in Number 267 Town in three seconds. We wish you the best and happy gaming! ]
In EoVT, the towns have only number names and there are over 500 towns.
To ensure that the game remained attractive, Era of Virtual Terra also borrowed and implemented ideas from its predecessors.
"Bonjour EoVT, I'm coming home now!!!"
