Chapter 520 - An Announcement That Shook The World
( The Cuber Corp )
The cuber corp had been in a complete dissarray ever since the initial plan for planet earth was thrown off-balance with more and more cultivators popping out on the planet , and governments asking for classified information.
After several days of intense brainstorming and heated debates , the managers of planet earth the cuber corp had decided to go with the approach of revealing a part of the whole picture to the general public .
It was going to be a reality shattering reveal as the very landscape of the world was about to change as the meaning behind playing Omega was going to change significantly.
However to smoothen things out and not cause mass hysteria , the cuber corp decided to sugarcoat truth with lies as they manipulated reality facts as a part of the game's new system update.
The cuber corp issued the following statement inside Omega , wrapping it as the sixth system update
SYSTEM NOTIFICATION : Greeting players , on 26 th March 2105 , the game will undergo it's sixth system update for 12 hours at 00:00 GMT . During this time no gaming activity will be possible as all players must log-out.

SIDE NOTE : The scientists at cuber corp have made a shocking discovery about the hidden potential of the human body.
Some players were observed to have improved physical abilities and developing superhuman strength and reflexes after playing Omega.
These players labelled as ' Cultivators ' , were able to absorb mana in the real world just like mages do in Omega to conjure spells.
There is cosmic energy on earth and using the neural full dive technology , some of us humans can attune our minds to this energy and use it as a high performance fuel to enhance our bodily functions .
It is a level up in real life ....For more details click here.
The cuber corp just decided to drop this bomb on the world , however they dropped it in the middle of the ocean as the people on the shore only got splattered with droplets.
The common people though intrigued by these new patch notes , found nothing wrong with it as they were more excited than ever to level up in real life and become a cultivator.
Instantly how to be a cultivator and a guide to cultivation type of content became viral , as everyone wanted to start on the path of cultivation as soon as possible.
However those with brains , people like the government , Rudra and Dronacharya instantly sniffed the problems behind the sugarcoated words of the cuber corporation.
The real reason why the cuber corp were selling helemts at a 99% discount rate and getting kids to play Omega was because Earth was on the clock now and everyone needed to be readied for what was to come next.
However if the cuber corp announced it as an apocalypse training , law and order around the world would break down as people would plunge into chaos and anarchy .
The truth behind the situation was that earth was soon going to become a part of a bigger system , of countless planets and civilizations where - on the races in the game would no longer be fictional characters . They would be their own civilizations.
Omega was only a tutorial of what was to come , and the gods in Omega were not what they seemed to be. The origins of earth's lores and the angels and the fallen angels were not fiction , but reality.
Man had forgotten , forgotten that this was not always their planet. It was once populated by the dinasaur race . However the angels purged them , as they left two of their own ' Adam and Eve '. As the caretakers of this desolate planet.
Thousands of years passed and humans thrived on planet earth , as everything about the angels was all but a fairytale , untill the year 2080 rolled around , and the superior races found this desolate planet again.
According to the universal moral law treaty , the planet was put under the tutorial program and given time to build strength.
Only when the planet would have 200,000 cultivators would the tutorial be completed and the planet left to defend for its own.
For now earth was only a spec of dust of a backward race in the universe and nothing more , however the cuber corp was here to ensure that this spec of dust was able to atleast try and stand up to the rest of the universe and not become a slave of some powerful race.
The cuber corp took the most unique approach when they designed Omega for 20 years with the help of the universal AI , which was given to earth.
However the universe did not know this small blue planet as earth , as the angels had named this planet ' Gaia ' , which was the name of the AI given to the cuber corp.
Hence with Gaia they brainstormed and planned in detail about the constructions of full dive gear and the entire mapping of Omega. As the cuber corp firmly believed that learning through playing was the best way to learn.
Through Omega now billions of earthlings had seen the inns and outs of combat and adventure , as they would no longer be as scared of getting in a sword fight now , as they would have been prior to 2099 .
Slowly but surely all humans were learning combat as their mind trained their body in accordance to the classes they chose.
Naturally everyone beleived it to be just a game for now . But everything was soon about to change , as the clock for earth was ticking.
Now that the secret about cultivation , although wrapped with more lies than truth was out. More and more people would breakthrough to the cultivated ranks , as the race to become a Cultivator had started.
Naturally becoming one was not easy at all , as if it was everyone would be a Cultivator by now and not just 50 from the billions who played the game.
It would take 1 and a half year at the earliest and 3 at the latest according to Gaia 's estimates before Earth was changed forever.
Rudra had never heard this notification in his past life , as this was an extremely concerning revelation for him , as the timeline he was aware of had shifted radically from its course of history.
However Rudra was not the only one who was left baffled as dronacharya had no memory of this announcement either. The sixth system update announcement initially came 3 years from now , however it was here wayy to early and different from what he remembered it to be.
This scared the man out of his wits as he began to question the relevancy of the knowledge he had , and wether or not it was all just a figment of his imagination .
The entire game , the rankings , the guilds the VR Olympics , everything was just a big testing stage as the world would soon need leaders. Not based on countries or caste , but leaders for the whole of mankind.
Why did Rudra reincarnate ? Why did Ethan Grey reincarnate? Who was controlling the bigger picture behind the scenes ... A lot of mysteries would soon start to unravel as the line between real and virtual would soon start to blur to the point it would be impossible to distinguish between the two .
/// Congratulations on hitting the GT target , as the target has been met there will naturally be a bonus chapter to follow soon behind.
