Chapter 5 - Signing the Contract

After accepting the offer, the talk started to break up, and everybody headed to their rooms. Noble had told Gary to meet him at 7 A.M. and their would be a butler leading him to breakfast.

While going back to his room, he noticed that there were many other rooms apart from his. It was like a hotel, but in a 'supersized form. Gary fantasized that there were probably 50 other rooms apart from his.

It was creepy, but he had no choice but to ignore it, at least until he could find more answers later. He was going to have to sign the terms and conditions contract tomorrow, and Noble had warned him that it would be a tough day for him tomorrow.

Laying on the soft and comfy king sized bed, which he never had experienced before, the kid was ecstatic. However he could not sleep due to excitement, and still wondered why Noble was so overly generous for teenagers who he thought would have potential to become the reincarnation of some superhero from the past.

He also remembered Noble telling him that he was going to do alot of training by tomorrow, and there would be more people than him. But it was odd that he spotted no one in the same room as him.

After some time of thinking, he finally fell asleep.

[7 hours has passed]

RIING...

RIING..

RIIIIIINNNGGGGGG....

A sound of an alarm clock woke Gary straight up.

He has set up an alarm clock to ring at 6:00 A.M. He had found it on the desk beside his bed.

Wanting to show a good impression, he decided to put the alarm an hour earlier than the meeting point so he could fully get ready.

He was still pretty shaken up, as he didn't expect the alarm to be so loud.

Just 1 minute later, his doorbell rung.

He opened the door to find a clothing package, which had a note on it, basically instructing him to put on the clothes inside, and that there would be breakfast outside waiting for him.

Looking around, he couldn't find the person who dropped off the package, but he saw a...mini robot, ,looking like Wall-E, flying away...??

"Wow ! So they really went from butlers to robots overnight huh ?" Gary snickered.

Well, he had quite alot of time to get ready, but he decided to just quickly, brush his teeth, take a quick shower and dress up his clothes in record time.

He went back out and saw the robot waiting for him about 10 meters away.

As he went up to it, the robot started flying away. Without anything else to do, Gary went up to him.

The robot went up to the elevator, and use it's face to scan access to the elevator. 

Out of it's eyes came a green hologram, and the robot aligned it into the elevator's sensor.

The elevator opened

"Welcome KODA". Where would you like to go ?

The robot, now tapped a couple of numbers in an exact consequence, and the elevator suddenly dropped down with dramatically fast speed, and stopped with a screech at the bottom.

The elevator door opened, and inside revealed a large blue hall, and Noble was talking with some other people dressed similarly to him nearby. 

Then, KODA started talking. 

"This is the training facility, Mr Noble is waiting for you."

Gary didn't know what to say because he hadn't seen a talking robot before. However, he knew that things were different here and he should just get used to it.

Gary just nodded and went to Noble.

"Oh Gary, you've arrived. Have some breakfast first and we can talk later."

After having his breakfast, Noble bought him to a room nearby, which looks like a meeting room.

Let me dive into more details and if you agree, you can start now.

...

"This is the training facility. All starting trainees are bought here for assessment and physical tests before going to the Alterian world. 

On other planets, they have their own facilities and portals, but this here is only specific for our planet's use.

In the Alterian world, there will be players from everywhere, and everyone is constantly farming to level themselves up. The truth is, this place was not only discovered by us, but also with contributions from other planets. So everyone has rightful access.

You will have to fight with other people to grow your own strength. You will be able to make alliances, companionships, guilds, and friends. 

KODA will be your guide, and will help you with all you need to know. In battles, KODA will also help you deal with enemies and you can buy further equipment and level up your stats as well.

For now, just focus on levelling up and getting your body ready for the Alterian world. Things are much different from what they are here. Enemies exceed imaginations, and everything is extraordinary.

I'm not sure if I've told you this or not, but if you level up high enough, the feats you achieve in Alterian will be given to you in Novaneo if you ever decide to come back.

There are more advantages and adventurous events that can happen if you reach a level high enough, however that's for you to find out."

"Now, I'll bring the contract for you to sign. You'll have to specify that you hereby agree to our terms and conditions,"

Gary, who was feeling overwhelmed after just receiving these new found information, had no choice but to reluctantly agree.

He thought to himself

"It's not that I don't wanna join, but this seems quite too sudden. I still don't know the reason why I was chosen so willingly. 

This top secret was suddenly given to me just because I was seen with some kind of aura ? At any rate this can be a scam. However, he does own the control building in our planet.

The chances of risks and problems were high, especially when he didn't even know what we're actually specified in the list."

After Noble bought the contract back, he started to read it.

To save you from monotonous and boring information, the details will be summarized:

1. By signing this contract, the player hereby agrees to participate in the Alterian world.

2. Players agrees to send all his personal properties over to the ATAW association.

3. All information about this project must be kept private in public, you'll constantly be in the game, however this is still a secret you have to keep. Harsh punishments will be delivered if unable to follow the terms and conditions.

4. If systematic glitches and problems put players in danger, it will be fixed, but destruction will not be refunded.

5. We do not take control over deaths, you fend for yourself and deal with your own problems.

Noble explained that the last one was a global agreement among every planet, and it had to be applied to the terms and conditions as well.

Gary, thinking that he had nothing to lose, and eventually decided to sign the contract.

"Well played Gary, I'm glad you decided to sign the contract. There would have been major consequences if you didn't"

"What do you mean ? There's consequences to not signing the contract ?"

Noble sighed, and answered with a countenance that seemed sad and nonchalant at the same time.

"After I told you all that, how can you not sign the contract ? I knew you would agree, so that's why I told you. Secret information can't be disclosed to random people

I sense the fighting spirit in you, and I just wanted to be the one to Kindle your spirit"

"Wait so what happens when the person doesn't agree to sign the contract after knowing all the disclosed information ?"

"Well, we discard them"

"How so ?"

"Killing them, eliminating them by any means possible."

And then, the deal was sealed.
