Raven's First Annual Tournament
Sitting within his Altissia Mansion once again, Raven closed his eyes and was going to run a quick check-up on the status of his worlds...
He started with The Four Nations and just as he projected into the world, his consciousness quickly approached the closest Lion Turtle for consultation, although he could know what happens at any given time, he does not continuously monitor the situation and needs updates...
"Edeth, it's good to see you..."
A floating light spoke to a seemingly inconspicuous island in the middle of the deep ocean before a huge head that looked fierce and majestic raised from the water followed by a deep, yet feminine, voice projected from the entity...
"Likewise Creator, it's a pleasure...are you here for a report?..."
After I nodded in approval the lion turtle began to speak..."Everything is going well and there seems to be only one 'major' performer and she is a young woman named Chastain Grey who is, at this very moment, aiding the Avatar group in the preparation for Sozan's Comet tomorrow...they plan on ending this war..."
"Good, I've seen some of her performance after your past updates...have you and the others decided on what to give her as a reward?..."
Raven has given his word not to manage or interfere in these worlds personally but he still wants to ensure that the overseers are functioning properly. Setting the future overseers to their duties will be largely impacted by how past overseers have performed with the given directives and worlds...
"We have not decided yet, her impact and accomplishments are not small but they can't be considered large yet either, we'll have to wait and see... however, it has been proposed by Graham to ask the Overseer of the spirit world to give Chastain Grey the ability to visit there through meditation..."
"Hmm, interesting... well decide amongst yourselves, this world is in your care after all..."
"Thank you, Creator, enjoy your stroll and let me know if you need anything..."
The lion turtle sank back into the ocean while my consciousness left TFNs and appeared in Minecraft.
....
"Well, thanks to ruined portals one lucky b@$tard has created a functioning nether portal already..."
' He posted this on the forum and now people all around the Minecraft world have entered The Nether to have a look....apparently I'm being praised again for an 'ingenious idea' of portals to different dimensions...geez, this old man needs thicker skin...'
Leaving Minecraft, I head into the yet-to-be-released Shinobi World which is doing a trial run....after all, there are many moving parts in this world, many powerful people and variables...
The overseers are not as omnipotent as the spirits and lion turtles in TFNs... The sages can see the future but details slip by them. Moreover, Hogoromo is more like Zetsu; could be anywhere but not everywhere...
The sheer mass of the world is much larger than TFNs and while Minecraft matches it in size or is even bigger, there are only players to monitor in MC, not Kage-level powerhouses just strolling the streets...
...
After returning from TSW (The Shinobi World), my consciousness returned to my body. This is the astral projection technique used by Aang in ATLA...
' *sigh* I miss being a 'God' in those worlds where I could snap my fingers and change mountain ranges.....'
As time has progressed and the VR AI has understood the basic fabric of my multiverse, it has begun to form concrete laws which even I must obey. It seems to take hold of worlds that I've created after some time of stability and longevity testing as well as power systems and the like...
There are loopholes in the system for me as I have plenty of Raven Coins to buy whatever is available at the Pavilion since I made the coins haha.....Moreover, all of the abilities, skills, etc... are all in my purchasable section since I made them all in person and have 'experienced' them (fills good to be the creator).
However, I have already set many skills and items to need certain achievements or requisites to be able to purchase and even I cannot grant myself those achievements. I'll have to do my own playthroughs to get those but for now, I'm content with what I have...
The only thing I'm not content with is the fact that my control of the worlds I've created is slipping. I find it harder and harder to even do simple things to worlds that have been established for some time and are under the jurisdiction of the overseers...it's why I even had to project my consciousness to TFNs using astral projection in the first place and not just appear where I want to in that world.
This is also a side-effect of the VR AI's recognition of the structure and stability of the worlds and its programmed order to maintain stability...*sigh*...
"Maybe I gave up too much control to the AI and overseers....No, making that oath to the public was the right idea...they wouldn't have come to Altissia if I'd not done that....."
Just look at how deserted other VR planets were when people realized that their new 'reality' was ruled and they were monkeys trapped...complete desertion...
'Ehh, it doesn't matter...as long as I continue to pick loyal and virtuous entities for overseers they should be loyal enough to follow directives and give updates which is all I'm asking...'
"Hehe, Altissia is still my playground though since I seem to be considered the Overseer here and the public didn't realize this loophole in the oath..."
Speaking of that, it's time to head to the underground construction zone below Heaven's Arena to prepare for the First Annual Tournament which will be the prelude to the opening of the first Hardcore world...
