[Hello players. I am the Voice of the Game. Every person who is aged 18 to 45 have been chosen to participate.]
[Those who were not among the chosen will be dropped off with the closest person related to them at the end of the week with provisions for a whole week.]
[Listen to the rules and you will survive this Apocalyptic Road Survival.]
[1. Dying here entails true death. Be careful how you proceed.]
[2. Everyone will be given a phone with a chat channel, a trading channel, a vehicle upgrade page, and a personal information and skills page as well as a choice of vehicles out of 5 choices.]
[3. Upgrading your vehicle and gaining skills will allow you to survive longer.]
[4. You can obtain skills from resource boxes, but upgrading them requires unlocking the Game Store which will only contain skill upgrades to skills you already have.]
[5. A new apocalypse will happen after the 7th day of every week.]
[Since it is Sunday, this week's apocalypse is a heat apocalypse. On the final day of the week it will be hotter than the highest Blue Star temperature ever recorded.]
[Good luck players.]
Osiris Colt stirred.
Opening his eyes he saw a road stretching, seemingly, into the distance.
It took him a second, but he got his bearings enough to notice a panel with a timer.
[00:01:00... 00:00:59... 00:0058...]
Osiris took a few dozen seconds to look around.
He noticed he was in a desert.
Then he looked back at the panel.
[00:00:22... 00:00:21... 00:00:20...]
Osiris just sat and waited for the remaining twenty seconds.
Once the timer ended the game voice sounded.
[You will have 5 minutes to choose you vehicle based on the five options provided. Choose carefully as you cannot change vehicles once you have chosen.]
The surroundings dimmed as the Vehicle Awakening Ceremony commenced.
Osiris looked at his five options: A Jeep Cherokee, a Ford F150, a Lamborghini Hurácan, and a Ford Mustang GT.
Looking carefully at the statistics of each vehicle, Osiris saw that the vehicles from most cost effective to least cost effective were the Jeep with 1 unit per 100 killometers, the F150 with 5 units per 100 kilometers, the Mustang with 10 units per 100 kilometers, and the Lamborghini with 20 units per 100 kilometers.
Despite the Lamborghini's fuel consumption, it was fast.
However Osiris didn't want fast he wanted cost effectiveness, so he chose the Jeep.
Clicking on the Jeep Cherokee a prompt popped up asking if he'd like to confirm.
Choosing "yes," Osiris's surroundings went back to normal and the Jeep Cherokee appeared behind him.
Looking back Osiris saw what looked to be a 2013 Jeep Cherokee that appeared to have come straight from the assembly line.
The paint was black with somewhat tinted windows.
Despite Osiris loving guns, he worked on cars since he was 10, so he knew his way around a vehicle.
Osiris took a few minutes to check the vehicle. Everything was stock except the tansmission and suspension, which appeared to be upgraded for maximum efficiency.
Getting in the Jeep, Osiris saw his phone in a little phone holder on the air vents while facing him.
He checked the interior; it was all custom black leather for the seats and dash, with everything else being factory.
Taking the key, Osiris started the car; it sounded exactly as he had expected.
He then turned on his phone; the chat was buzzing with notifications while everythibg else seemed to be stagnant.
Opening the chat he saw a bunch of stuff going on, but it was scrolling to fast. What he understood though was that everyone was either complaining about their vehicle or showing off while others appeared to be joking. He looked at the top and saw a number: 10,000/10,000.
He assumed this was the amount of people in his area. He noticed that only about a couple thousand were actively chatting. He then closed the chat as nothing new appeared, then he opened the vehicle information.
[Awakened Vehicle: Jeep Cherokee.
Fuel Consumption: 1 unit of gasoline per 100 Kilometers

He closed the vehicle information and opened the personal information.
