Genesis Sync

As Miss Brown continued to explain more information about Genesis, everyone in the class gave her their complete and undivided attention, well, almost everyone. John alone sat in the back corner, looking out the window, lost in thought as he considered his plans for after school.

{They're still in the middle of building the new skyscraper downtown; I should be able to get some more work there.}

After the initiation, he planned to sneak out of school early so he could head over to a local building site he had been helping out at recently. It was illegal for those still underage to work any kind of job of manual labour job; this was one of the policies created alongside the Genesis project.

Back then, the five races believed that once the young came of age to enter Genesis, they would have to fight in endless wars, so they passed the order that while still underage, children could enjoy their childhood, though naturally they still had to go to school.

It was only after policies such as this had come into effect that Tia changed Genesis into what it was today; although many of the policies had been amended and updated since, the one about children not being allowed to work had never been changed.

While John and the different employers he worked for knew that it was illegal, neither party really cared. John desperately needed the money, and although they paid him under the table and slightly less than a normal worker, it was still a decent amount since he was a hard worker.

Soon Miss Brian checked her access band and, upon seeing the time, she clapped her hands before saying, “Alright everyone, make your way over to the gym in an orderly fashion and join your fellow students.”

All the students hurriedly got up and started moving towards the gym in a very unorderly fashion while John took his time and was the last to leave the classroom. He was in no rush to reach the gym, since the initiation would take place from oldest to youngest anyway; it was a given that he would be last.

As he reached the gym, he moved to a back corner behind everyone else before looking around.

In the middle of the gym, there were twenty of the training pods the school students used for duels as well as to practice their magical and martial skills. These twenty pods were in four rows of five pods each, and in front of each pod was a desk.

Several different people stood around each pod. John recognised some of the school officials; however, there also seemed to be scientists monitoring each of the pods as well as government officials sitting at the desks.

Placed around each of the pods were three meditation mats that people with magical abilities used to focus and train their magic. They were there to allow the training pods to connect to the magic that encompassed the world.

The training pods normally only ran off electricity and used local area connectivity to connect to one another. However, this time they needed to link with Tia so that she could register the students as new Genesis users. It was the government officials' responsibility to use their magical powers on the meditation mats and link the pods with Tia.

This was the main reason a whole school year was forced to wait until the last student turned eighteen; it was expensive and a lot of work to organise this. Only the rich and powerful of the world could afford the cost and manpower to initiate their children when they came of age.

Once all the students had entered, a government official stepped forward and addressed the eager students. "Good morning, students. I am Frank Hargreaves, and I will be the one in charge and overseeing your initiation today.

The process is relatively simple and straightforward. When we call your name, step toward the pod we indicate and hand over your student ID to the official waiting there. After that, take a seat inside the pod, relax and wait for it to activate and begin your initiation.

Once Tia registers you and allows you to leave, exit the pod and proceed to the desk in front to receive your access band. Let's begin, shall we? Mark Jacob's step forward."

And so, the initiation began; one by one, students who had their names called stepped forward, passed over their student ID before entering one of the pods. Each meditation mate now had an individual meditating on it as they linked the pod to Tia.

Each student spent about five minutes at most in the pods before climbing out and proceeding to the desk to receive the individual access bands that they excitedly put on their wrists. With three hundred students to go through, it took about two and a half hours to get through them all before finally John's name was last to be called.

"John Michaels."

As John stepped towards the indicated pod, his fellow students started to whisper in not-so-quiet voices.

“Does he even deserve an access band with how poor he is?”

"About time; he kept us waiting for the initiation, and now he keeps us waiting before we can enter Genesis."

“I can’t believe we have to wait until everyone is initiated before we can first enter Genesis.”

“It’s Tia’s rule; what can you do?”

As John reached the pod, he handed his student ID over to the government official in charge of his pod before he climbed inside and settled into the seat as the lid closed over him, plunging him into darkness. A few small lights came on to give some illumination, but that was all.

As John waited, he began to think how pointless and how much of a waste of time this was; he could be working and making money right now so he could afford his rent and food. Eventually, his eyes became heavy, and he drifted off into a sleep that the pod had induced.

Almost immediately after he fell asleep, a strange yet beautiful woman appeared before him. She seemed to be a mixture of different races; she had a perfect human hourglass figure with large breasts and a fat ass, her ears were long and pointed, which was the signature body feature of the elves. She also had long pointed eyebrows, while her hair was long, silver and seemed to ripple as if itself was alive.

She had two front lower teeth jutting out of her mouth and a facial tattoo as one would see on an orc woman, while he eyes were somewhat smaller than normal, which was normal for dwarf women. She possessed red horns, wings and a tail that were the signature body features of the Draconian race

Her clothing consisted of magnificent dwarf made armor that probably even the dwarf king's wives' armour could not compare to.

She showed no emotion whatsoever, as if this was just something normal and mundane, until the woman suddenly opened her mouth and spoke in a voice more beautiful than anything John had ever heard; her voice was almost song-like.

"Identity confirmed as John Michael's, Human male, beginning body scan.

Error detected. Bone structure indicates that individual is not eighteen years old for another three minutes and thirty-seven seconds. Unable to proceed until specified time elapses; please stand by."

John sighed before saying, "Miss Tia"

"Just Tia," Tia replied in the same beautiful voice.

"Umm, ok Tia, is there any way to speed this up please?" John asked.

"I understand you are keen to enter Genesis; however, these things can't be rushed,” Tia replied. “There is a reason that people are not allowed to go through initiation until they reach adulthood; if we proceed early, your brain could receive serious damage when I scan it."

"I think you're mistaken; it's not because I am keen to enter Genesis but because I have things to do after this," John answered, while conveniently leaving out the fact that he had an illegal job to attend.

Tia frowned slightly before saying, "I see. Well, I'm afraid this can't be rushed, as premature brain scans could lead to irreversible brain damage. Do you understand?"

Michael nodded in response and decided just to wait a couple of minutes, since negotiating with Tia seemed pointless

“Eighteen years old achieved, starting brain scan." Tia finally announced.

"Brain scans complete."

"Initiation complete, I hope you enjoy your time in Genesis."

"Thank you, but I am afraid I won't really be playing," John replied just as the white world began to turn dark once again.

Tia stood looking at where John had once been with a thoughtful look on her face before saying, "I wonder why he claimed he won't be playing? Everyone loves to play Genesis. Whatever, I'm sure he was just faking bravado; it's happened many times before, after all."

As the all-powerful AI of Genesis that controls the entire second world, dishes out punishment when she deems it necessary and even has some influence over the real world, many men and women of every race have tried to do anything they could think of to get Tia on their side.
