Fantasy Realm [One Piece] [Harry Potter] [Naruto] - [Progression] [LitRPG]

Chapter 31: Gaia, Mist Continent, Alexandria

[Player is now entering Level 1 mission. Checking Player record. Player Alex Kerber has achieved the rating of "S" during his tutorial mission. Player can choose to either receive a random mission or choose a solo mission without any other players.]

"Why do I get that choice?" Alex wonders, surprised by the special treatment.

[Player has reached the rare rating of S in his last mission. However, the tutorial mission was a team mission. Host has earned the right to prove his abilities by attempting a solo mission where he cannot rely on other players. The difficulty is high, but so are the potential rewards. Player may also accept a random mission. This option is only available to the player at this time due to his rare achievement during the tutorial mission.]

[Player should be aware that any solo mission is extremely demanding. The difficulty is such that inactivity spells certain failure. If the player does not actively participate in battles and events, he will surely fail the main mission. Data shows that players are more likely to die in combat during solo missions than in normal missions (even those featuring faction warfare).]

"High risk, even higher reward, and nobody to hide behind... If I want a real shot at surviving this until the end, I can't chicken out," Alex analyzes, weighing his options.

"System! I choose the solo mission!"

[Player is now entering Level 1 Mission:
Players gathering... total number of players: 1
World selection: Gaia (Final Fantasy 9)]

Mission Details:

The player entering the world of Gaia under orders from the Fantasy Realm has affected the balance of the world. Enemies have grown stronger, making things more difficult for the main characters. The player is required to restore balance, allowing canonical events to proceed as intended.

Starting Location: The Kingdom of Alexandria
Timeline: 28 days before Princess Garnet's 16th Birthday and the arrival of Tantalus to perform "I Want to Be Your Canary."

Setting:
Alexandria is both a kingdom and the capital of that kingdom, and for a time the capital of the Alexandrian Empire, on the planet of Gaia in Final Fantasy IX. The city is centered on a plateau in the northern Mist Continent, extending out over the Zamo and Gunitas basins.

A monarchy, it is ruled by Queen Brahne Raza Alexandros XVI with Princess Garnet Til Alexandros XVII as its heir. Alexandria is known for its all-female army led by General Beatrix and a group of male knights in charge of protecting the city, known as the Knights of Pluto led by Captain Adelbert Steiner.

The player may only leave Alexandria with the main characters and can explore other locations without them if the main mission fails.

In 28 days, the famous theater troupe Tantalus will perform their new masterpiece, "I Want to Be Your Canary," at the Royal Castle in celebration of Princess Garnet's 16th Birthday.

[Warning: Gaia is a primitive world where technology is far behind that of most other worlds. This world mainly relies on Magic and Mist-altered steam technology. Normal engineering is nearly unknown. The primary weapons of every army are spears, swords, and other primitive arms. Modern weapons cannot be used, as they would disrupt the balance of the universe.]

"WHAT??" Alex screams internally. "THIS CAN'T BE! I'M SCREWED!"

[Player's equipment will be analyzed for potential violations.]
[Checking...] [Mr. 5's .44 Caliber 6-Shot Revolver detected: unknown technology]
[Player's non-system related items (Energy bars, energy drinks, and 26 other Earth items) cannot be accessed during the mission. Player must acquire local food to survive.]
