The Year 2024 was just beginning and our protagonist, Chu Zheng was at home relaxing after a long semester of exams. "Finally school is over and I can do whatever I want", exclaimed Chu Zheng with an obnoxiously loud sigh. "Knock, knock" came from the front door of Chu Zheng's apartment. "Who is it?" Shouted Chu Zheng unwilling to get up from his comfortable position. "Zhao Feng" , Chu Zheng jumped off the chair and walked to the door and found a little fat man on the other side. "What are you doing here fatty" said Chu Zheng as he rolled his eyes at Zhao Feng quickly responding "I can come visit my best friend can't I?".
They both sat down on the sofa and started discussing what they were planning to do after finishing school. Suddenly a loud voice echoed throughout the planet to all of the humans [System - Earth initialisation beginning] Both Chu Zheng and Zhao Feng looked at each other and started laughing "Ok,ok who is pulling a prank on us now?" Zhao Feng said jokingly [3….2….1] [Extraction begin] Chu Zheng started disappearing into white and blue particles "What's happening to me! …. Save me!" before Zhao Feng could speak Chu Zheng vanished into thin air almost like magic.
The same situation was happening all over the world to different kinds of people even people who were currently sleeping were vanishing.After the whole ordeal was over all the news channels were covering the latest incident of the disappearance's " Ladies and Gentlemen according to global governments over 1 billion people have disappeared from their daily live's, Families are panicking because of their family members mysterious disappearances. There is currently a world wide investigation going on to find the missing people.
In the midst of an investigation numerous towers began appearing in every major city with some sightings originating from the desert and even the ocean. Many people began speculating that the major missing persons case had something to do with these strange towers.
Meanwhile Chu Zheng woke up in the tower from what seemed to be a short nap."What happened to me? Why does my head hurt?" Chu Zheng jumped up after remembering his body disappearing into particles of light. Chu Zheng appeared to be in some sort of flat cave with a gloomy door at the front and what seemed to be the only light source coming from a glowing sign labelled "CELESTIAL TOWER",
"Where am I?" Questioned Chu Zheng.
A bright yellow bird with a unique stripe appeared in front of Chu Zheng and unexpectedly spoke towards Chu Zheng [Welcome to CELESTIAL TOWER] Chu Zheng looked at the bird confused and after the awkward silence he replied "What am I doing here?". The bird explained [You have been selected for the first phase of Earth's initialisation and have been given the opportunity to increase your power before the outbreak of monsters on earth] Chu Zheng began thinking about what had happened and given the uncertain circumstances he adjusts his mind and thinks back to earth and about his family back home who he didn't spend much time with recently. A picture of his parents and his little sister appeared in his mind. He decided he would fight with all his power to return to his family and protect them from the oncoming monster outbreak.
The yellow bird asked Chu Zheng [What difficultly would you like to select?] [Easy] [Normal] [Hard] [Nightmare] Chu Zheng pondered in his mind "The harder the difficulty the more powerful I will become, right?" He confidently opted for the [Nightmare] difficulty that lied in front of him. The yellow bird responded [difficulty selected].
[Please select a class]
- Knight
- Assassin
- Mage
- Healer
Chu Zheng spoke to himself "I'm not to sure what class would best suit me, I'm just going to pick what class I prefer the most". The holographic screen in front of Chu Zheng flickered once he selected the [Mage] class, a status screen showed everything there is to know about Chu Zheng.

The yellow bird spoke out after a brief amount of time [Tutorial beginning, 3…2….1….Start] whilst the bird vanished, the huge door slowly opened and revealed a forest area with lush grass and the pleasant sound of birds. Chu Zheng looked around and noticed there was a crowd of other people surrounding him holding various weapons and having a hologram floating above them revealing their name and level.
Various people were chatting about how they were transported here and even conspiracies that they are part of a mass research project. The same voice that sounded when they were transported here spoke again [The first tutorial is beginning] [Completion quest - Eliminate Boss Goblin (lv.5)].
Everyone started chatting again about what to do.
Chu Zheng without sparing another moment rushed off into the forest along with a few other smart individuals who scattered into different directions, Chu Zheng explored for a few minutes before running into 2 short green monsters with a long nose and pointy ears which he assumed were goblins. Chu Zheng hid in a nearby tree and planned his attack, he withdrew a wooden stick from his inventory called [basic magic staff]

"This staff should give me enough power to take out the 2 goblins as long as I surprise attack them without being noticed" thought Chu Zheng.
Chu Zheng aimed the staff at the goblins and launched a fireball , the two goblins noticed the fireball and tried to block the spell but it was too late.

"A spell book?, so that's how I can get my own spells , they must be a drop from monsters. How do I use it though" Chu Zheng thought about using the spell and it disappeared from his hand and into his mind. " Let me check my status before I go kill more goblins"
