With the mission parameters clear, Jake dismissed the mission panel and decided to retire from the Throne Room to his private chambers. There, he decided to explore and familiarize himself with the various game icons as that would impact his gameplay.
Opening the game panel, Jake saw Five Icons.
· STATUS PANEL
· PLANET PANEL
· CHAT FORUM
· PLAYER FORUM
· INVENTORY
Jake opened the Plane Panel first as he had seen a glimpse of his character panel. Since Terra Nova was his base of operations it was better to understand it well first.
PLANET PANEL
[Planet]: Terra Nova
[Planet Size]: Small
[Planet Ranking]: Novice

Looking at the panel, Jake focused on the planet specialty. +30% of loyalty may not seem like a overpowered ability but for those who hold power or leadership position would relate how overpowered it was. With loyalty, reforms and citizens ability to carry out tasks without question raises to the maximum. Jake decided to test the planet specialty in the upcoming meeting with the Council of Terra Nova.
Next, he ventured into the Player Forum, a hub for players to post information and engage in discussions. It was a space where ideas could be exchanged, alliances formed, and strategies shared.

Looking at the messages refreshing at a constant rate Jake paid more attention to the information on the Quantum Citadel since he had seen it in his character panel.
"Astral Nexus? Where is it located?" Jake muttered.
"Well, will look for it later after dealing with issues in Terra Nova." Jake said.
Knowing himself better as a newbie, Jake did not rush looking for the Quantum Citadel. Since it could cause such a reaction from various powers, Jake knew he would be silenced or completely wiped out from Cosmic Nexas by various powers if ever they found out he awakened the Quantum Citadel.
Jake then accessed the Chat Forum, where private messages and friend requests awaited. This would be essential for coordinating efforts with other players and establishing connections within the virtual realm. Currently his chat Forum was empty as he had no friends.
His gaze shifted to the Inventory
