Cole took a deep breath as he stood in front of the entrance of the tower. All new aspirants showed up in the Glade proper, so they would coming from here. Cole was nervous, he did not want anything to go wrong as he had put a lot of thought and planning into this, above all this was his, a life that was his own, separate from the Night family.
Today was the first day of his new life, before now he might have been playing territory, but today once the 5th floor opens up and he takes care of business in here in the 3rd floor and then go out and do the same in his territory when he gets to earth.
Cole becomes a major player and legitimate force that people would have to take seriously. He would no longer just be a gamer or some dude that got lucky with the event as the tabloid say, or a man whose past is so steeped in scandal that the entire world is waiting for the next news about his escapades. This time he becomes the leader, boss protector of an entire civilization.
[Entrance To The 5th Floor is Now Available! A new Wave Of Aspirants Would Now Be Arriving]
Cole stood there with his direct subordinates with him as a flash of light seemed to fill the entire area. The territory itself already had close to 3800 people in it, after all of the glades have finally been united. And each person had 5 slots that they could offer to people outside and invite them to become a part of the event. That brought the number of people coming to his Glade to a whooping 19,000.
Add that to his 3800, and you would have 22,800. More than enough to meet the requirements for the upgrade to silver rank. Never the less that much people, even if half of them could be productive and the other half would head to the 5th floor, Cole was expectant that his territory would be experiencing a period of extreme growth as there would too many hands on deck.
The light show faded almost immediately as a sea of people filled his vision. All of them were wearing grey clothes, but what was most prevalent about it all was the fact that more than half of them were Raens. Not that they were the particular race in reality, but apparently the choice would be offer or was offered to them, to match the race to prime race of the Glade they would belong to.
Cole knew some Aspirants would spawn on the fourth floor, while most of them would be on the third. The second floor had already collapsed and the fourth floor was not to far behind. The aspirants would spawn exactly where the person who invited them was. Cole still had two slots left as he only invited three, but thankfully he could still give it out and a suitable person would be allowed to Log in.
As soon as the people appeared and they had. A minute to acclimate themselves to their new environment and in some cases new bodies. A cacophony of noises broke out as everyone was talking at the same time, filling Raen Valley with way more life and sound than Cole could have ever thought possible. It was annoying though and grated on his nerves, so he took in a deep breath and-
"ALL OF YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP DIPSHITS!"
Cole had almost forgotten about Neral. The dog had some pipes on him that's for sure, but he was thankful as the Dog had been able to draw all attention to Cole. Then to take it a step further, Neral's eyes started to glow as a hologram of Cole and all of his inner circle showed up, high enough that everyone in the territory could see him.
It reminded Cole way too much of the first time he had been in an event, a Hologram had also appeared before aliens showed up and started slaughtering everybody.
"Welcome To Raen Valley Everyone. I'm not going to take too much of your time as I know you would want to link up with your friends and family that invited you here.
But I would like to point some things out for all you, thing that I feel I have to make clear so that you all can be safe and not die pitiful deaths or be relegated to dregs of society.
Let me give you all a reality check, this is not a game. It never was a game, what we do here, what we all do here is to fight for the survival of the human race.
An apocalypse is coming, whatever you chose to call it, Earth is woefully unprepared for it, but We've all been given a chance to push forwards. To grow strong and least lose on our knees rather than our backs.
But that is not our way, you all know this. We're more resilient than cockroaches more stubborn than flies, more patient than lions, more persistent than wolves, and more destructive than virus and plagues.
There has never been a fucking time in 7 thousand years of human history where we've ever let circumstances or fate fuck us up. The father of a good friend of mine use to say that Necessity Is The Mother Of All Invention. Famous and very true words, our survival against what the system has to throw against us has now become a necessity, and so we have to invent.
We have to grow and push the boundaries of what we thought was possible. We have to go beyond our best scientists, scholars, fighters, firefighters, doctors, teachers…..killers. do you understand me!" Cole's question was met with yells of agreement as he took a step forward, so lost in his speech as he was overcame by emotions.
"This Is Raen Valley! Here we do not preach diplomacy or democracy, or monarchy or any sort of government. Here we don't play politics or stab our brother's in the back. Here we are the spearhead of what human civilization will become in this new universe.
We are the frontier of what is possible, the strongest, fastest, brightest, wisest, and the most ruthless. I will not lie to you, if you all buy into my bullshit then odds are 99.9% of you will have a very violent end! But so fucking what!
I'm not here to play or fuck around and neither should you. We've had great human leaders fight for our freedom before. History's heroes, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln! Nelson Mandela, Nnamdi Azikiwe, Mahatma Gandhi! Martin Luther King Jr! Shaka Zulu! But we've also had the worst villains to have graced the pages of any reality's history books. Hitler, Genghis Khan, The Oyo Empire, The Roman Empire, The Persian Empire, Alexander The Great, The Babylonians, The Atomic Bomb.
Here! On this hallowed and equally desecrated grounds we are not heroes and we are not villains. We are monsters, we are Chaos incarnate. We're a fucking bullet that's just been shot out of a very desperate gun.
We won't just save the ones we love, we will thrive, so that when it comes down to it, the very planet that birth us won't be fucked with, just because we exists. Join me, stand by me, or curse me, hate me, and leave if you want to.
I won't stop you. But know this, Raen Valley is a family, everyone each a brother or a sister to the person standing besides you. And we will grow and face what is coming...TO THE BREAKING OF WORLDS!"
Cole yelled out, and those who lived here before the new Aspirants came repeated it, and the not was picked up, until it was a chant that they all could hear.
"TO THE BREAKING OF WORLDS!" and then it became something else, just a word, but one that was chilling and would sow and eternity of fear and chaos into the greater cosmos. A word spoken with almost religious fervor and respect.
"COLE! COLE! COLE! COLE! COLE!"
