Chapter 84: Building the 1st Village in the Game part 2

Ibro felt astonished. From where did that game manage to get these monsters? Ibro didn't feel more proud of what he had done. He needed to exert more effort to surpass these players.

What made him feel more threatened was that he wasn't the only one who had a mythic grade village stele. That made him feel how bad his situation was. He wasn't that unique yet. He must try harder.

"I wanted to ask about the place I'm in now. I suddenly appeared here, in the middle of now where. What should I do then?"

"Your situation is a secret situation, but regarding your privilege, I can give you some advice. First of all, you are not in the middle of nowhere, you are in the middle of the main lifeline of the game.

Your destination would decide your future by many factors. My advice is to select the direction you feel more comfortable with. After you move for nearly an hour you will exit this nowhere and enter the real game world.

The second piece of advice is once you enter that world I won't be able to contact you till the end of the test period. This is the game rules. The first thing you must do is to select a very good spot to build your village.

You can use your blood to start your village. Be aware that the first ten villages in the game world will be granted a global announcement and a reward based on their rank.

So you must hurry up and don't waste time in the game world. When you start building your village, you must build it in the most comfortable way you desire best. Would you love having a military empire?

Would you like to have a merchant type empire? Would you like a peaceful highly civilized empire? Would you like a brutal war lover empire? These and more aspects must come from your deepest desire. Mark my words carefully and don't forget it. Good luck to you, player Ibro."

Ibro felt her words weren't that simple. He gestured to her with his head showing deep appreciation to her. She really helped him a lot.

He didn't know these two pieces of advice were really because he had a privilege or that privilege was her excuse to escape future punishment.

Although he felt she was related to his success by some means, he felt touched by her help and advice. He then looked away from her fading screen. This place was a test for a player true self.

What direction should he chose? He thought about the deep meaning of this test. Would he choose the pre-set way by walking on the road? He remembered the first time he appeared here; he was facing certain direction of the road.

Would he move on that direction which matched the game setting? Or should he walk on the opposite way opposing the game? He looked at those fields.

Both were the same but when he looked closer he found that one was purely green while the other had some yellow color. Would he choose the perfectly flourishing field?

Or was it a sign for peace and prosperity together? The other field was the closest one to the real-life, as it was full of setbacks and successes. Although he understood their deep meanings, neither of them was suitable for him.

He felt he belonged to another different path. He looked around without replaceing a clue. He remembered what that girl told him. He can move for one hour and then he would get out from here. He looked to the sky suddenly wondering if he can walk to it.

He wanted to be as high as this sky, no one can reach him but everyone looked up to him. That was the most suitable place for him. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that was the right choice. Suddenly he raised his hand and clenched his fist tightly towards the sky as he said loudly:

"I know I can't fly there, but the only way that suited me was that distant sky. I want to be a sky to all, having the pure warm sun that gives life to all. I want to be the sky that grants life by rain, also it gives death by thunder and hurricane.

I want to be the sky; if I failed to be a sky then I don't want to be anything else. I will stay in my place pointing to it. Either you grant me my wish or you remove me from here completely."

His resolve was suddenly deepened the more he talked. He suddenly felt he wouldn't play this game in another fate other than the sky. He suddenly became very stubborn.

If he didn't get his wish then he wouldn't play. He stayed in his place not moving for a single step towards any place. He just kept rising his fist to the distant sky.

He didn't want anything else except reaching that distant sky. After 15 minutes, a window popped up with one question in it:

"Are you sure you don't want any other choice?"

"Yes, I'm sure."

"The sky is the dream of every creature, not everyone can achieve his dreams even he had the qualifications and the right to do so. Life is unfair and cruel. Are you really ready to be subjected to the cruel judgment of fate?"

Ibro stopped in his thoughts and tried to unveil the mystery behind this ling question. He felt his whole life present and future would be determined by his next words.

He suddenly remembered the deep advice of Sefiera. He smiled and this time he felt really grateful for her. He decided that one day he would express his gratitude to her face to face.

"I don't believe in fate. I believe in myself. My future is determined by my choices only."

"Life is unfair. No one can challenge fate and succeed."

"Everyone is striving for a better future. Their dreams whether they had the right to or owned the ability to achieve it or nor are their own dreams.

Everyone has the right to seek his dreams even it was impossible. Life is unfair, that's a fact. Life is full of hardships of different kinds, that is also a fact.

But above all, if I, Ibro, approved to every destiny I had and didn't fight every hardship I face, then I'm not a man deserving to reach the skies. I will face every hardship welcoming it with respect, not fear.

I will face whatever fate throws in my face and overcome it. I will defy the fate and forge my destiny with my own hands by any price I would pay. This is the life that I live. That's my choice here. I want to reach the skies."

"Life is unfair. To reach the skies you must live under the ground first. Do you accept your choice?"

"Life is unfair, but my choices are just. I will stick to my choice and do whatever it takes to achieve my dreams."

"Are you sure? Once you take this choice you can't change it ever again."

"I'm sure. Give me my sky."

Ibro didn't know from where he unearthed all this courage or from where did his belief became this clear and firm. After his last reply, he received no more words.

He didn't regret it, on the contrary, he felt like he was reborn again. He wanted to be a sky. He wanted to be so high and mighty that everyone fears.

He didn't hate wars as he lived in it for many years. He hated most for his fate to be controlled by others. He didn't know when he understood the cruel truth of this world.

If you weren't strong enough to be a king then you would be turned into a slave. A strong to be feared was always better than being weak and enslaved. Even if he got respect, respect without free will was nothing. He waited patiently as he would never renege on this belief.

"According to the rules, you have passed the test. Although there is a setting in the game to satisfy your desire, but this option was meant for those who struggle to reach this unique place.

No one has the right to be born in a perfect place with perfect position. So we decided to give you another option. You will be granted the right to compete for this sky area.

If you really deserve this place, then you will be able to win it. In addition to that, we will announce that decision to the whole game so everyone will try their best to stop you.

If you are really destined to be in that place, then you will overthrow whatever threat that comes to your way. If your destiny isn't to achieve that place, then we love to witness how you will change your fate and get that place.

As compensation to you, we will grant you three random choices for unique features for your territory. You will be put in a random place but all the resources around your village will be upgraded by one grade.

Finally, we will announce the final result of this evaluation after the last player passes from here. If you ranked in the top ten then you will gain another reward. Good luck to you player Ibro."
