Chapter 1 - Prolouge

Arcanena Academy is the main setting in the school fantasy game called Lunarian Projection where it gained international fame and a significant boost in player base. 

It features the freedom to choose its players as the game is built to accommodate the player style making it one of the best fantasy games not only in its published country of Luxembourg.

Lunarian Projection wasn't just a hit in the gaming world, it was an entertainment phenomenon. Players could seamlessly interact with both other users and the system's intricately built NPCs.

Constella Project the creator of Lunarian Projection, the developer have been announcing a weekly update of the game not only its active player base the devs have been working non-stop on making the game more accessible and fun for its players.

The game has built in leaderboards where it focuses on the main genre of the game, A romance fantasy school type of game, a world with the rising of magic and the slowly declining use of swords and other weapons that don't use any magic.

Leaderboards consisting a Monster kill count, a Dark mage kill count and the most absurd of all is the existence of the harem leaderboard.

It was shocking news for all the players of Lunarian Projection after the global release of the leaderboard update players rushed for the NPC of all the academy existed inside the game and try reaching the number 1 spot for the leaderboard, some players had different opinions on the harem leaderboard they are wondering if the developers have been crazy enough for them to add a totally ridiculous leaderboard. 

After a month of the leaderboard update released by the Constella Project devs, another ranking added up it is not the same as the other one and the new one focuses on the player's overall achievement inside the whole game every constellar point you could get counted in the ranking, there are approximately 87million player account existed on Lunarian Projection each account has its unique style customized by the player when signing in their account.

One particular player has reached the number 1 spot on the overall ranking it surprised everyone because the player who is seated on the number 1 spot is not recorded in any leaderboards in the game, to get a game Constellar points is to kill a monster or any threat, finishing the academy mission and interacting with the students to gain a game score in which the top 1 account name Artemis Nova was not found in any of the game leaderboard rankings.

RANKING LIST*

1, Artemis Nova. 15million Constellar points.

2, Desmon valfuer. 8.6million Constellar points.

3, Renna caspian. 7.3million Constellar points.

The 7 million point gap is too big even for the other no 1 ranker of each leaderboard. Players worldwide have begun to start speculating on the top 1 player, some say that it was a hacker some say that it was a developer account, and no one knows the identity of the no 1 ranker it was like the developer of Lunarian Projection Constella Project is protecting and preventing any information regarding Artemis Nova leaked in the public.

It has been 2 days since the update and the devs of Constella Project made an official announcement regarding the player speculations, due to the circulating yapping and discussion made by the Lunarian Project fandoms the developer has made their move regarding the top 1 ranker Artemis Nova. 

'Constella Project- 

After the recent update of the Lunarian Projections, many players have noticed the top 1 ranker Artemis Nova abnormally high Constellar points.

Our devs have delved into the account and found nothing unusual or any hacking scheme, as a further investigation by the team we have discovered that Artemis Nova has found one of the game's Easter eggs and as a result, it has helped by giving a significant boost on Artemis Constellar points, today is the end of the investigation regarding this topic.

Without further notice this is all the information that Constella Project needed to announce if you have any questions or suggestions please report back to the Constella Project email account.

Constella Project-

DEV. Arche Starium '

Looking at the developer announcement a young adult with brown hair wearing a rounded glass smirks at the scene in front of him.

"Well, that settles it. No more insane theories and speculations thanks to them." he said as he looked at the massive amount of comment in the developer post.

Eugene Veritaz it was the name of the top 1 ranker Artemis Nova who dominated the Lunarian Projection while playing the story countless times, finishing every mission in the academy and killing thousands of monsters and dark mages after the 99th failed run account Eugene found a game Easter egg made by the first creator of the game Anullia Constasia she is the one who wrote the whole main story of the Lunarian Projection.

On the 99th run, Eugene is close to finishing the main story of Lunarian projection the end of the chapter for everyone it follows the main character Naiwa Gheneva fighting the null god Dothrot the player are only allowed to watch as the end of the fight that naiwa has to sacrifice his own life alongside null god dothrot it was an inevitable fate for naiwa his death has cause massive discussions some players are even mad because they are only allowed to watch the fight and cannot assist the main character.

It was announced by the devs that they have no intention of changing the game ending and making the player change the story.

After the cut scene ended the monitor went black.

"hm?." Eugene pondered as he looked at the monitor.

This never happened on all of his 98th attempts normally he would be teleported back to the game lobby.... then a system notification showed up glowing blue.

[Congratulations on finishing the game story for the 99th time.]

 Eugene just quietly stared at the monitor waiting for anything, then after a few seconds Eugene clicked on the notification in front of him.

[Upon completing the Lunarian Projection for the 99th time you found one of the game's Easter eggs]

'Easter egg?..' Eugene confused at the moment clicked on the system notification again.

[Gift blessing "Symphony of endings" has been obtained.] A gift?.. Eugene thinks before clicking the screen again

[Would you like to activate the blessing "Symphony of endings"]

[Yes | No ] Eugene looked at the screen in front of him full of curiosity. 

Hmmn.. screw it, I'm clicking yes.

Eugene clicked the yes button and a system notification showed up.

[Activation request has successfully finished.]

[Activation time '120 hours, 13 minutes 56 sec.' The due date of the activation has been delayed due to an unknown error on the projectix system.]

As the system slowly faded the black background on the monitor turned back to normal.

Eugene got sent back to the lobby but as he looked around the lobby he noticed the countdown still there and it didn't seem to disappear.

"Heh.. interesting" Eugene grinned excited about what's going to happen after the clock hits zero.

-

Back to the current date it is the day that Eugene gets to activate the blessing or gift so called by the system.

[1 hour 03 minutes, 12 sec]

Eugene looking at the monitor wonders what the blessing was, the system didn't mention the blessing's description only its name.

"Symphony of endings" the title itself made Eugene interested in it.

Sitting on his chair while waiting Eugene pulled off his phone and checked Lunarian Projection fandom.

He remembered that he caused quite a big fuss over the fandom even though he was surprised that he was the top 1 ranking on the global it was really a surprising result.

It is been a few days since he began to suspect something in the developers of the Constella Project they have been protecting Eugene's personal information preventing it from leaking to the public it's getting to the point that looked like Eugene is a high-ranking official of the government.

Eugene gets daily calls from the devs but when he started to ask them about the gift the system said the devs just outright ignored or made an excuse by saying that I needed to just wait and witness it myself.

''Hahh..' Eugene sighs as he looks into the global ranking seeing his account on the top really makes him happy.

RANKING LIST*

1, Artemis Nova. 15million Constellar points.

2, Desmon valfuer. 8.6million Constellar points.

3,Renna caspian. 7.3million Constellar points.

'So this is the feeling when being on top of everyone.' said but there was something that he wasn't able to achieve in all of the attempts he made.

'Saving everyone from the inevitable death...' everyone was fated to die in the main story, it was like the author had grudges to the world and just decided to kill everyone.

It was impossible to save them all Artemis Nova alone saved up to 4o% of the academy student it was Eugene's best run at the game even after the 99th failed run.

'There was no point in thinking about this now' Eugene began to stop thinking about it and just relaxed down waiting for the countdown to hit zero. 

-

[32 seconds left.]

It countdown is closing in as Eugene looks at the monitor his eyes are full of curiosity.

'Bing' A sudden notification appeared on Eugene's phone. It was a message sent in from the Lunarian Project developers.

"Hmm?" Eugene grabbed his phone from his table and read the text.

'Good luck.' It was a single message sent in by the dev.

"What?-" Eugene confused by the dev message from his phone started to think of a possible reason.. few seconds passed

'Wait could it be-' Eugene diverted his focus on the monitor as he looked at the countdown gone to zero.

[00:00] 

The room Eugene was in suddenly turned blurred but another notification was shown but it was too blurry for Eugene to see.

 [Good luck.]

Vanished.....
