It's the year 2050. InterCorp, the largest company on Earth, launched a brand new game, World of Ilyon, and its corresponding gaming set, before giving it to the entire population of Earth. Elias Jackson received one, and being an avid gamer, decided to try it. Yet, as he played the game, Elias found himself with questions after questions. Why did InterCorp create a game and give it out instead of selling it? Why are there side effects from playing the game? How did InterCorp come into being after World War 2 and turned the winning superpowers into willing clients? So many questions, yet no answers. Yet, he believed the answer lied in the game, the hidden secrets, revealing the truth of the worlds. Join Elias as he played World of Ilyon, uncovering buried secrets, and learning the final truth of Earth itself.

Chapter 1 - Prologue

A planet, covered in blue water and land silently moved on its orbit, around its sole star, along with 7 other planets, and other celestial bodies in the system. 

 Yet, unnoticed to its inhabitants, the planet shook, glowing in brilliant blue and golden brown energy before a figure emerged out of it. The figure, a mixture of blue and brown, stretched its arm, acting like it had just woken up from a deep slumber.

 It turned its gaze to celestial bodies in the system, musing over what its children called the planets, moons and stars. One day, they might learn what it called the different celestial bodies. Or they might not.

 Looking back at the ball of water and earth it emerged from, it let out a slight chuckle over what the children called its main body. Earth, a simple word, yet, universal enough to be accepted by everyone living on it.

 After its wordless musing, it flew silently across space, passing the Moon. Soon, Mars followed, along with Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.

 The figure then stopped at Pluto, its gaze on the small planetoid. It's stretched an arm, sending waves of energy. Pluto releases a silver glow, characters older than the first human, even the first life on Earth, covering it.

 The characters formed a circular pattern over the planetoid, with the largest on the side not facing the sun. The largest circle then popped out, moving away from Pluto before stopping. Then, from it, a smaller circle came out, before stopping. Another circle, smaller than the previous one, did the same.

 The action continued until the last circle, about as width as a pinky finger is thick, stopped moving. The figure then went to the opposing side of the planetoid, and placed its hands on it.

 Pluto flickered, before its main body disappeared. Or to be exact, it's true body was shown to the universe. A metallic construct spherical in shape appeared, though it is hollow, with outer metal looking like ribs.

 The figure was on the part devoid of metal, its shining white eyes gazing through the hollow passage of the construct. The other side glowed, with the circular formations glowing brighter before it unleashed an ethereal glow.

 The lightshow continued for several hours before it stopped. Yet, the figure remains on Pluto, its facial feature forming what could be barely described as a frown.

 Time is short. Very short. The next phase had to start now. Fortunate there is an event that will not make the children ponder. Too much that is.

 It then flew to the nearest planet, Neptune. Its hand touched the blue planet, the 'blue' layer dissipating for a brief moment, revealing ethereal golden liquid.

 Ether reserve is satisfactory, more than enough for the plan.

 It continued its flight towards Uranus, touching the ice giant. Similar to Neptune, the blue cover disappears. Unlike Neptune, it revealed multiple circular openings, each containing different materials. From ores and gems, to bones and plants.

 Resources inside the vault are sufficient for the children. Hopefully enough to make them strong.

 It resumed its flight, stopping at Saturn. This time, it stopped on its ring, the figure lightly touching it. After the touch, space shifted and flickered, revealing a large number of realms, each filled with its own secret.

 Legacy of their predecessor, of older children. Make use of it well, younger children, make use of the hard work of your seniors.

 The pattern continued, the figure arriving at Jupiter, tapping it lightly. This time, it revealed massive landmass, one similar to Earth, except way, way bigger.

 Training ground, and the last land should the plan succeed. 

 This time, it passed through Mars, heading straight towards Earth. But before it descended back to the blue ball, its gaze landed on Mars, then Venus, and finally Mercury.

 The research ground, where the eldest study and master their ability. The training ground of the eldest, where they train their bodies in extreme condition. And last of all, the forging ground, where tools were made.

 Satisfied with its inspection, nothing deviating from its very long term plan, it returned back to its true body, the planet where 50 billions called home. It looked at the humans and their sub-races, a smile formed on its face.

 Children, hopefully your parent preparation is enough for you brave the challenge of the future.

 As it fused back with the planet, several phones ring, and many important people answered.
