MARVEL: Game Maker System - Chapter 110

Chapter 110  109 - New Game Easter Egg?

While Alex was developing the new game, a tall, muscular white man was having a conversation with a bald black man.

"So you mean that now people can live in a virtual world?" the white man asked with a lot of confusion.

"Yes, it's not like this is something normal, it's just that recently someone managed to develop this new technology and currently a part of the population has already started to adopt this new world as part of their routine." Nick Fury sighed as he explained.

"The future has really evolved a lot… was this done by a Stark?" Steve Rogers asked while remembering his friend who had many innovative ideas in his time.

Thinking about something so innovative like that, Steve could only think that this was something that was done by a Stark, either Howard Stark, or a son of Howard, since that man's mind was something he could never understand.

"No, initially we also thought this could have been done by Tony Stark, Howard's son, but we soon found out that this is something even Tony Stark couldn't do with today's technology. This game... or rather world, uses a technology that we have no idea how it works. As soon as you put this world on your computer and click to enter, it's as if your mind has been teleported there and you will feel all the real sensations as if you were there in person. The best hypothesis we have so far is that this world uses some form of hypnosis, but we don't have any evidence to back that up." Nick explained seriously.

Hearing Nick's hypothesis, Steve soon understood that if this was done with bad intentions, probably half of the world's population could die instantly, which made the hairs on his arms immediately stand on end.

"Thankfully whoever did this didn't show any ill intent." Steve sighed a little relieved.

"Not yet, but few people have met the mastermind behind this world, and even fewer have met this man in the real world, most of his appearances being only in the virtual world he created, where he acts practically as a Rampant God." Nick responded with a bit of acid in his voice.

Steve understood Nick's reasoning, but despite being worried about this new world, the goodness in his heart prevented him from being prejudiced against a person who so far had not made any mistakes.

In his mind, it was like the parable of baby Hitler. Would it be fair to kill a baby, even if in the future that baby was the greatest genocide in history?

For many people there was no doubt that this would be completely fair, but for Steve, who had his justice amplified by the Super Soldier serum, it didn't seem like something an ordinary person could do.

"Was it this man who made Clint as powerful as he is?" Steve asked curiously.

Clint Barton, better known as Hawkeye, was one of the first friends Steve made while he was training at the Shield gym.

Since the two's strength was far greater than that of normal people, the two became sparring partners in no time, as only one could be the other's sparring partner.

Even though Steve won 99% of the fights they had, at least against Clint he didn't have to hold back as much as he did against normal people.

"Yes, there was an event where a virtual city was being invaded by the brother of that world's creator, and the citizens of that city were supposed to fight to protect the place. The person who contributed the most to the city's protection received a golden apple that doubled the strength whoever ate it, that's why Clint got so powerful." Nick explained.

"A virtual city was being attacked… I never thought I'd be hearing this in my life… haha." Steve laughed at the irony of imagining that people were fighting to protect a place that didn't even exist.

What made him very proud when Nick was showing the footage of the attack on this city is that not only were there military personnel protecting the place as he was used to in war, but there were also ordinary people fighting to protect it.

The feeling of seeing millions of people fighting together for an ideal made Steve's soldier's blood boil, wishing he could be in that place fighting alongside all those people.

From what he saw, there were men, women, teenagers, who despite the clear difference in color, race, gender, nationality, were united fighting a common enemy.

'If this were in the real world, would people be able to put their differences aside to be able to fight side by side against such an enemy?' Steve thought with a smile as he imagined this scene.

Across the country, Thor and the Asgardian Warriors lay connected in Oasis, drunk while laughing with a group of players who were chatting and laughing about the different stories they had around the world.

As in Oasis there was no language barrier, all players could speak and understand each other perfectly, talking to people from other parts of the world became more and more common, mainly out of curiosity about the different cultures that existed in that place.

Of course, harmful and aggressive cultures of players who wanted to impose how other people should act were cut down instantly after a simple report from other players and a review by the "Oasis moderation team", which led to the bigots being banned for 24 hours the first time, then 7 days the second time, 30 days the third time, 3 months the third time, and so on.

Oasis did not prevent players from preaching their beliefs, as long as it didn't negatively affect other players' experience.

The option most used by players, which made the world of Oasis even more perfect in their view, is that it was possible to block a person with a simple touch of a button, making it so that the two people could no longer see or hear each other inside the room. game, something that was impossible to do in real life.

Because of this, people with insecurities were much less afraid of interacting with other people in Oasis, as in any uncomfortable situation they could just block the other player and continue on with their lives peacefully.

In the bar where Thor and the Warriors of Asgard were drinking, Thor looked at the television that was showing a game of Fortnite and sighed in disappointment.

The game was not what he imagined, although it was fun to compete with other people to see who would be the best among the 100 people in that game, because they mostly used firearms it made the battle much less fun than it actually was.

Even Minecraft was more fun than Fortnite for the Asgardians, as the way combat worked in Minecraft was more in the style they liked, despite the aesthetics of the game not being as appealing to them.

"Hey, did you hear about the Easter Egg that some players found in the most isolated neighborhood of this Hub?" A muscular black man with long dreadlocked hair said to his friend beside him.

"Easter Egg, what was it?" An Asian-looking man asked with interest.

"It seems that a group of drunk players went walking through the city and got lost while trying to find their house, due to alcohol, one of the players fell to the ground, but to the player's surprise, he had landed with his mouth on top of a book." The man explained.

"A book? In this hub? Are you sure? Haha!" His friend laughed out loud.

The Hub they were in was a more medieval-looking Hub, so to match the Hub, the stores here were more medieval-themed, so it was very rare for books to appear, as players here preferred to fight with the fists than with words.

"Yes, because the player was drunk, he didn't even feel the pain of the fall and picked up the book from the ground. That book was telling the story of a medieval world, where there were different races, there were kingdoms, people fought against monsters, there were trolls of ice, even dragons!" The man had a loud and lively voice, which attracted the attention of the other players in the tavern-like bar.

"Hey, this world looks interesting. But how do you know this is an Easter Egg and not just a book made by another player?" Another player asked curiously.

The black man laughed and explained. "Because the signature at the end of the book was a very unique name. Notch!"

Hearing that the signature at the end of the book was Notch's made players even more sober wanting to know more about this book.

"Notch?! Jeez, it's impossible to forge a signature here at Oasis, so if this was signed by Notch, then it must mean that it was done by Notch!" The Asian player got excited.

"Yes! Is this an Easter Egg from an upcoming game?!" Another player asked excitedly.

"What is an Easter Egg?" Volstagg asked confused.

Seeing Volstagg's appearance, which looked a bit like a red-haired medieval dwarf, players were a bit taken aback, but soon understood that maybe he wasn't someone very tech-savvy.

"Easter Egg is what players say when a game developer puts a hidden message inside the game. Sometimes it's like a teaser for an upcoming game." One of the players in the tavern explained.

"Hey, what's the name of that book?" Thor asked interested.

The black man smiled and replied mysteriously trying to create suspense. "The Elder Scrolls: Warcraft!"
