Preface II: Important Game System Concepts Archemi
Archemi Online, colloquially known as ArchOn, is the worldβs first hyper-immersion VR-RPG, though it is not the only VR-RPG extant in Hectorβs world. ArchOn was not designed to be an MMO in which millions access a single world: to support the massive memory demands of processing human brain data in a full-immersion VR, Archemi supports capped βcellsβ of players, to a maximum of 5000 players per cell. Due to cataclysmic plague on Earth, there is only one cell supporting approximately 2389 players, almost all of whom are βvirtual refugeesβ uploaded to escape their death from the HEX Virus. Paths & Advanced Paths
Rather than set, static classes, Archemi has an organic Path system that evolves with a playerβs interests and abilities. New players initially select one of four base paths β Warrior, Specialist (Rogue), Mage, or Artificer. At Level 5 and Level 10, characters are offered the chance to choose an Advanced Path, which takes them down a specialized stream from their initial Path. Advanced Paths are offered on a per-character basis by the gameβs system, which reads into a personβs play-style, quest choice, and other factors to offer Advanced Paths the player is suited to. Advanced Paths themselves have customized progressions that unfold for players as they advance. Renown
Renown is the measure of fame or infamy you possess in a locale. In every location where you complete (or fail to complete) quests, you can potentially gain renown. Renown is important for players interested in Mass Combat.
Like most things in Archemi, Renown is accrued through points. After accumulating a certain number of renown points, you gain bonuses or penalties to dealing with people in your locale. The size of the locale where you command fame or terror varies depending on your renown tier. The tiers are as follows:
0-300 - Stranger: Unknown and unnotable.
301-700 - Adventurer: Some people have heard of you, and neighborhoods where you completed adventures are friendly/hostile. You can gain the alliance of small units.
701-1081 - Local Hero/Villain: You are a person of note in your city, able to command respect, fear, or both. You can potentially command loyalty from a medium-sized organization.
1080-2217 - Public Figure: You are well-known everywhere in your locale. Bards begin composing and singing about you, spreading the news of your deeds. You can command small armies under a General or other important figure.
2219-5628 - Idol: You are known across your nation and are sought after for your abilities. You can potentially command larger armies as a general.
5629-12450 - Celebrity: Your deeds have spread internationally, and your fame is recognizable across borders. You may command generals in warfare.
12451+ - Legend: Your deeds will go down in history, heroic or villainous. You may qualify to rule a kingdom.
Chapter 1
The self-styled Emperor of Archemi was a lot bigger than I remembered.
Baldr Hyland was nearly seven feet tall, dressed in silvered armor that reflected the desert sun. A great helm that resembled an eagleβs beak shielded his
