Announcement

"You all need to gain control over the integration process. You, yourselves will have to integrate into the System to be become the example for your citizens of your country. The sooner the better. Time isn't on our sides."

The world leaders wore troubled looks. Fear and uncertainty was written over there faces.

"This will be the only way to calm the masses. Criminals organizations are already one step ahead of you which means super powered system users committing violent acts. Not to mention the monsters.

Also, the dungeon core need to all be collected and placed inside of the palaces. There we can have controlled dungeon dives and build an international police force.

There manuals regarding the palaces that I sent out to all of you. There are many amenities and nuances that explain what they are and where portals lead to. The representatives from the U.S. should be delivering them to you all soon."

"What do you mean collect the dungeons they are all still where we left them?" A European leader asked.

"Whomever conquered the dungeon can claim it and use it for various purposes. The authorities can take dungeon cores and place them in the expansion area which I will show you all later. I'm sure more will appear after the time is up."

"So what is in it for you? You are doing all of this to 'help'. What do you get out of all of this?"

The Russian president was skeptical of anything American.

"Me? Nothing except peace of mind. I want to be left alone to get stronger. I will honestly say, none of your interest are mine. I don't care about any of you or your countries. I dont care about politics or gaining any advantage. I want to survive. I was the first. Just listen to a story I have to tell you that I didn't speak of earlier."

Qwen took a deep breath. He told them all about his life before the attempted suicide. How he was only chosen because he made an attempt on his own life. That had he done it months earlier he would have been fine. He speculated that the blackouts chose the most vulnerable and isolated people at first.

Then he told them about the GM. How the GM stated he was the first to ever survive the integration on earth. How he was granted the shop as starting item because of an error they made by sending a monster too powerful to battle him. He told them of their discussions. He revealed his first missions to battle monster but in turn saved hundreds of people around the world.

Then he spoke on what he speculated during all of this time.

"I can tell you we are dealing with beings in the universe that we can't comprehend. A god like being in the GM actually was able to make a mistake.

The System is adaptable. It will alter itself to fit the requirements of the owner constantly.

Humanity has no clue as to what's coming but we do know what's in front of us. The monsters are getting stronger. Next month we may not be able to handle the breaks if everyone who's nearly strong enough will dies trying.

My last point is earths infrastructure. It wont be able to handle the growing strength of system users. I have a separate plane called 'New Haven'. It already has a city large enough to hold 1 billion people. It can hold all of earth's current population in total if we expand outside of the city."

The world leaders all had various looks on their faces but most had faces of fear.

"This reaction is what I expect from normal people. Have you all noticed how system users aren't hesitant to fight monsters? It's easier to risk your life when your rewarded each time. The get stronger after every level. Your job is to keep everyone alive so that they can reach the higher levels. Make no mistake this IS war. Your problem now is your still fighting against the only things that can save your own tails. Each other. I'll leave that up to all of you."

The Russian president only nodded.

"Now the next bit of news you all may not like but there nothing that can be done about it.

The shop is actually connected to me. There isn't supposed to be an system shop until after the tutorial. This was bypassed due to my own system shop. The system allowed me to grant and deny access to anyone that I want. I am going to begin an all new economy inside of the palaces myself, with or without any of you.

My only demand is that any business that you conduct will not interfering with my own agenda, to survive. I can't and won't try to save the entire world but, I'll help until the tutorial ends."

The north Korean leader spoke next.

"So what about your power? Will you not share your secrets for gaining strength. We all know that you gain strength much faster than anyone else.Why will you not share this information."

President Thompson cut in.

"Has he not provided enough already? We haven't even seen the insides of the palaces but are the teleportation arrays not enough all on their own?"

The North Korean leader didn't back down.

"Yes they are an unimaginable contribution but how do we know that he will not hoard all of this new power for himself? What then? What if he decides to use it against everyone? Who would be able stop him? Look what he can already do. No system user has shown a quarter of his abilities. Even his items that he has are incomprehensibly powerful. "

Qwen frowned. He looked over to president Thompson who had a poker face. He wasn't able to help much. Qwen couldn't look like he was taking sides.

He had to give these greedy bastards a bone.

"I'll train only one person from every country until the tutorial ends. After that time, we can see what comes next."

The north korean leader only smirked and went silent.

The meeting went much smoother after the last exchange. It seems that was what the cunning leaders all wanted the most. Power.

The meeting had ended hours later as the documents about the system came in.

All of the leaders from poorer countries were excited about the possiblity of being able to feed, house and provide adequate healthcare for their people.

Suddenly a loud horn blared in everyones mind. system user and human alike this time.

"Well now that's new."

Qwen broke the silence in the room.

The meeting had of course ended with the world leaders. Everyone scrambled to make preparations.

The system had changed everything. It clearly took no sides and didn't care what happened to the lives of its users. It forced people to fight.

He was honestly at a loss himself as to what to do next. It was all so sudden even with his mental abilities he still couldn't.

He walked out of the conference room and into the entrance lobby. The massive lobby was designed to look like an ancient garden. Flora from a different plane filled the walk ways. There were multiple floors that lead to various areas. It could hold hundreds of thousands of people at a time on each floor. The higher up you go the more luxurious the rooms become.

The civilian population had access to many amenities. Each palace had a portal to it's own cities the size of the state of Texas. There was even some room for expansion.

'New Haven' however, will be located in the separate space Elder had created. The city still needed to be constructed and he needed engineers to help him. He need just about every profession to assit him. However they would need to work along side system user. He wanted his city to be built with magic.

He would have to have this project going along side his training.

Since the beginning, Qwen knew he couldn't survive on his own. Maybe it was his 'Univeral Mind' trait but he had a need to seek assistance if he wanted to live though the end.

Now, he saw why. One man couldn't build two separate civilizations. Well maybe except Elder.

He would allow the world leaders to have access to the other palace amenities, but New Haven would be strictly ran by himself.

He only told the world leaders about it because news would leak about it once he began adding larger number of people to his cause. If the world powers found out at that time it could be looked upon as an aggressive action.

He would operate in seemingly plain sight. By the time anyone realizes anything to try to stop him, it'll already be too late.
