At 2:05 PM on a Thursday in January,

The world turns grey and freezes utterly in place. You can still walk a few feet from your original spot, still feel your clothes and breath and body, but the object dominating your vision, everyone's vision the world over, is a text box.

The System is expanding to your universe. This process is known as [Integration]. Significant changes in the world are coming soon, as the System establishes infrastructure in local spacetime and institutes management of local conditions. During integration, many features of the planet Earth will rapidly change, including geology, wildlife, local physical constraints, and infrastructure. This will, regrettably, cause significant disruption to many human lives and your planetary society. The System is committed to reducing the harmful effects of this disruption as much as reasonably possible without compromising other objectives. Feedback, comments, and requests will be evaluated by autonomous systems, and may be taken into account.

The System is an autonomous, extradimensional entity designed to prevent the destruction of the universe. Without the System, most universes eventually reach a state known as [Heat Death], where nothing remains except scattered cold gas. The System prevents this long-term outcome by cultivating the power of sentient souls and creating continual challenge and opportunity for achievement and advancement, which, when mediated by the System, grants power to individuals who advance while also generating significant surplus energy, which sustains the system and the universes as a whole.

As a one-time benefit to all newly integrated universes, you are offered a [Tutorial]. Accepting this offer will place you in a time-accelerated space where you can learn the basics of the System, make your initial System provided choices, and practice common beginner level challenges in relative safety. The [Tutorial] is optional. While HIGHLY recommended, you are not required to accept. Within the [Tutorial], guidance and answers to questions are more freely available.

Note: If you accept, you must successfully complete the [Tutorial] or face negative consequences.

Would you like to take the [Tutorial]?
