    I hope you like it.


    Eternal Game game mechanics and preparations:


    This guide will contain the following:


    1. Game over view


    2. Monsters


    3. yers- Factions- sses  Talents  Skills.


    4. Game Land and game scenario


    1. Game over view:


    The game is a Virtual Reality Massive Multi yer Role ying Online Game. the game is yed by capsules, and yers can stay in game for long duration using internal feeding fluids.


    The game is based entirely on choices, as yers can do anything, make any choice they want, but each choice will have its own consequences, and they will affect the yer, the yer''s surroundings, or even the entire game!


    The time of the game is elongated to double the time of real life, with the ability to elevate yer''s mind and make it gain knowledge and skills to the real life, provided his physique can support it.


    The game starts by a selection of gender, age, name, faction, ss, and the ce where yer wants to start at.


    yers then will be moved into a huge festival inside the capital city of the kingdom or the empire he or she selected. yers will stay there for small time before gaining tickets to go to one of the two general pathways of the game; wilderness terrain or the army the battle field.


    yers selected to go to wilderness, or terrain will be transported into open wilderness, where they will face variety of monsters, dungeons and many yers there. the first map of the wilderness is from level zero to level ten, and when yers reach level ten they will gain a ticket to the vige.


    yers going to the army the battle field will select one of the two pathways; general route, or the lords route.


    yers selecting general route will start as mere soldiers, five menmander, ten menmander, fifty menmander, one hundred menmander, five hundred menmander, a battalion one thousand menmander, small army five thousand menmander,rge army ten thousand menmander, and finally general with general ranks of white, green, blue, silver, gold, red, and finally ck generals.


    yers selecting the lords route will start as an area leader assistant, area leader, vige mayor with three vige ranks; small, medium,rge viges, town mayor with three town ranks; small, medium,rge towns, city governor with three city ranks; small, medium,rge cities, and finally kingdom ruler king and empire ruler emperor.


    All yers start differently, but they can reach viges and above game checkpoints ording to their levels, and each route has its own quests and missions inside each checkpoint.


    Vige is designated as any usual vige in any game, with a wall surrounding many buildings, mayor for the vige, some NPCs guiding yers ording to their sses, and a vige map and a wilderness map to select between to level up there.


    Once yers level up to level thirty, they can gain ess to towns, level sixty to cities, and level ny ess to the capital.


    Each ten levels there is a huge milestone for yers to achieve, arranged as follows:


    Level zero: yer starts the game, with either terrain or army route.


    Level ten: yer gains ess to the viges.


    Level twenty: yer can raise his ss mastery, upgrade a rank for army route yers.


    Level thirty: yer can acquire guild establishing stones, army checkpoint establishing stone, area ownership stone, and gains ess to towns.


    Level forty: yer can gain ground mounts and pets.


    Level fifty: yer can raise his ss mastery, upgrade a rank for army route yers.


    Level sixty: yer gains ess to cities.


    Level seventy: yer can acquire vige establishing stones for yers and lords, and army ry point establishing stones for generals.


    Level eighty: yer can raise his ss mastery, upgrade a rank for army route yers.


    Level ny: yer gains ess to capital.


    Level one hundred: yer can gain flying mounts and pets.


    Level one hundred and ten: yer gains ess to shrine wars grounds.


    Level one hundred and twenty: yer can raise his ss mastery, upgrade a rank for army route yers.


    Level one hundred and thirty: yer gains ess to flying continents.


    Level one hundred and forty: yer can rage guild wars to annex towns and cities, lord yers can establish kingdoms and empires, and general yers can attack kingdoms and empires, winning wars to control them.


    Level one hundred and fifty: yer can raise his ss mastery, upgrade a rank for army route yers.


    2. Monsters


    The game contains a huge variety of monsters, distributed as normal monsters grinding monsters, dungeon monsters, open world boss monsters, and special monsters; like the evolved mutated monster that appeared in thest evolved dungeon.


    Normal grinding monsters can be found in packs throughout the wilderness.


    Grinding monsters has simple rules in fighting them, as each monster when its Hp decreases below fifty percent, it starts to run, trying to escape away from the yer, and yer has to put his point in his mind while killing them, so he would intercept their retreat route, or else the escaped monster will regain its lost Hp rapidly, rendering yer efforts futile.


    Dungeons in the game are really diverse, starting with white, green, blue, silver, gold, red, and ck grades.


    Each dungeon had the same rules, as the white dungeon will have seven monsters roaming outside its entrance, then ten halls, each containing ten monsters, before finally ending in single boss monster.


    Green and blue graded dungeons will have ten monsters roaming outside, with fifteen monsters in each hall. Silver and gold dungeons will have fifteen monsters roaming outside, with twenty monsters in each hall, with the halls reaching twenty halls and one boss monster in them.


    Red grade dungeon will have twenty monsters roaming outside, twenty in each hall, with number of halls increased to reach twenty, and two boss monsters, or one special boss monster.


    ck grade dungeon will have thirty monsters roaming outside, twenty in each hall, with number of halls increased to thirty, and three bosses, or one special boss.


    Rules of engagement in each dungeon monster are the same, as normal dungeon hall monsters following the Hpw. When their Hp decreases below fifty percent they will all attack together, moving towards the most distant yer in the team, disregarding aggro role.


    Rules of engagement for dungeon boss monsters follow the timew. After the first five minutes, the boss monster would use a mute skill that would render yers'' skills useless. All skills would enter, forcibly, cooldown period, and those in front of the monster would take the full toll of the monster attack.


    The next skill to be activated at the ten minutes mark would be an AOE damage skill, with special ability to it. knock down, stun, control, name it and it might happen. the choice of skills would differ from one monster to another, but they would be all follow the same rules.


    At the fifteen minutes juncture, the boss monster would use an AOE skill that would deplete any special form of energy the yer was using. Atp, Mp, Stm, Cp, Gp, Wp, or Def, any of them would be mercilessly diminished by half their initial value.


    Then the twenty minute juncture would have the most devastating AOE attack ever, Hp forcibly diminishing by half!


    Any yer with fifty percent of less of his Hp at this point would be instantly killed. The only good news here that after each skill was used, there would be a thirty seconds forcibly weakening period to the boss monster, so yers would aim towards this slight window, hoping to kill the monster before thest stage was reached.


    Monster drop followed the same rules, as monsters always drop one of these material list:


    Monster skin  monster ws  monster tail  monster bones  monster horns  monster teeth  monster fur  monster crystals  monster power shards  monster energy shards  monster heart fluid ''for Hp regenration''  monster muscle essence ''for stamina regenration''  monster fin  monster central bone  monster nds  monster fangs  monster thorns  monster spikes.


    Monster material grading system:


    White  green  blue  silver  gold  red  ck  S  SS  SSS  SSSS  SSSS  V  M.


    Monster collecting materials rule:


    Level one to five: unlimited time to gather materials.


    Level five to ten: two minutes and the corpse will disappear.


    Leven ten and above: one minute and corpse will disappear.

    Level twenty to fifty: 10% drop rate.

    Level seventy five to above: 50% drop rate.


    Rules of monster stats:


    Hp= base Hp * level^1.4


    Xp= base Xp * level^1.2


    Atk= base Atk * level^1.8


    Def= base Def * level^2


    Note: these are rules for normal monsters, as for dungeon, open field boss, and special monsters, these rules might change ordingly.

    Mainnd contains shrines, that ys major role in keeping these sealednds hidden and sealed, or trying to break them free and bring them to the world of the game.


    These shrines are distributed all over the five continents, with their elders trying to give quests to yers, in attempt to make yers join their shrines and help them in their cause.


    For example, the death shrine and life shrine are mortal enemies, with life shrine is responsible for sealing the deadnds, while the death shrine is trying to break this seal, and set the dead loose.


    Both elders issued a quest to Mc, and he has to choose which shrine he will join, or he won''t select any.


    The game is based on choices, so any choice made will have its consequences, affecting the course of the whole game, and huge number of yers and NPCs as will be narrated in the first two volumes of the novel.
