The next day, the Peace online update was complete, so all the players logged into the game including Aarv.
As soon as he entered the game, a gust of air reached Aarv's face making him feel refreshed. He noticed something different about the atmosphere like there was some kind of energy that he could feel within Air making him refreshed.
He tried to walk around and found out that the gravity was also much higher compared to earth. He opened his game panel and found some new features added to the game. For example, the game panel now showed the environment that the player was in. he curiously clicked on the environment setting and found some interesting information.
[
Environment analysis (Lords only feature)…
Description: with environmental analysis, lords can distinguish between different areas. They can also determine if the area is suitable for human habitation.
]
[Click confirm to complete environment analysis…]
Aarv did not immediately click the confirm button. He first went towards the residential area in his territory and clicked the analysis button.
[Analyzing area of 1,000 km around the player…]
[Analysis complete…]

Report:
Terrain type: Seashore.
Survivability Index: 86.37
Resource Availability: 96%
Owner: Aarv Bhosle (Can be concealed through concealment plaque…)
Population: 2,500
Energy Density: 100X
]
The environment analysis contained all information about the terrain. It also contained information like energy density which Aarv had no idea what meant so he clicked on it to get more information.
[
Energy Density
Description: Every player/ NPC character needs the energy to evolve and level up. The higher the density of energy, the higher the rate at which players could level up.
]
This was not the first time Aarv heard about the levels. He knew that to unlock supernatural abilities one needed to be of level 100. But, when he first checked in, he did not find any levelling-up features in his territory at all.
Now after the update, Aarv found a new tab named player profile. When he clicked on it, he got the information about him.
[
Player profile
Player name: Aarv Bhosle.
Level : 1.
Energy points 1/200 (100X territorial bonus activated.)
Strength: 1.5
Agility: 1.7
Dexterity: 1.3
Constitution: Normal Human.
]
The information displayed on the player profile was identical to any other RPG game but there was an additional energy points section.
[
Energy Points
Description: Peace online's atmosphere contains energy that can be absorbed into the human body. Collect more energy to level up faster and make yourself stronger. Can be absorbed through eating and drinking.
Minimum daily absorption: 1 unit (Increases depending on energy density in your surroundings.)
]
After checking all the information, Aarv finally concluded that these energy points were basically XPs that the system gave for players to level up. He also found it interesting that there was no mention of attribute points like in any other games.
It was a good thing that he set up his territory with an energy density 100 times that of the normal place. This way instead of 1 energy per day, Aarv and people in his territory could receive 100 energy points per day.

After thinking for a while, he diverted his attention toward the main issue… the second historical quest that was happening in three days. He had to prepare for it beforehand.
He contacted officials from the human resource department and gave them a list of materials he needed for the quest. The list included things like armours, blades, rations etc. After five days of launching, his territory did not have any blacksmiths so he had to buy weapons and armours from the NPC cities.
'I need to quickly find ways to attract more talents…'
While buying different things from different NPC cities was a viable option, it did not come close to making things in-house. Aarv knew these things clearly as long as he had the technology in hand, RPG games like these were nothing.

While Aarv was inside his gaming cabin, the gamin cabin was flashing with green light.
[Nourishing Host's body with energy in air…]
There was a vortex outside of his gaming cabin that was formed by the gaming cabin while absorbing air through its surroundings.
As the energy points inside the game increased, the vortex too got bigger and bigger.
Although this change seemed minuscule at first, one person in the house did notice it.
"Has it already started…?"
Major Sudansh Bhosle looked towards his son's room with shining eyes. He directly called for Dada.
Once Dada arrived in his room, he passed an old scroll to Dada and said, "Set this scroll under Aarv's gaming cabin… Don't let him find it…"
Dada took the scroll and looked at it. At first glance, it looked like a normal scroll, but if one looked closely, one could see golden threads coming out of the scroll.
"This… but, won't you need it for your cultivation…?"
\
Dada asked while looking at the scroll. He knew that the scroll contained a 'Yantra'. Yantra attracts energy from its source.
"Well, I already have mine… it was specifically made for Aarv…"
Major Sudansh Bhosle told Dada. Then only Dada left Major's room to install the Yantra in Aarv's room…
Similar situations were happening worldwide where vortexes formed on top of the gaming cabins collecting energy from the atmosphere and nourishing all of humanity's bodies while making them stronger.
Evolving them so that they could face the disaster together.
