Before anyone can say anything, a notification appears in my, and no doubt everyone else's, interfaces.
A vote will now be held on the subject of the Planetary System Event that Val shall participate in for the third month after the initial establishment of the council.
The following are the current Planetary System Events available for a Class E world
Please select one of the Events from the list.
Team Deathmatch – A Team Deathmatch System Event involving a team formed by 6 denizens of Val chosen by the Planetary Council. This System Event will pit the 6 chosen denizens of Val against a team of 6 from another planet initialized within the same timeframe as Val on a randomly selected map.
King of the Hill – A Solo King of the Hill System Event involving a single denizen of Val chosen by the Planetary Council. This System Event will pit the chosen denizen against chosen denizens of twenty-three other planets in a King of the Hill game where the participants must fight for a golden crown.
Puzzle House Race – A Solo Puzzle House Race involving a single denizen of Val chosen by the Planetary Council. This System Event will pit the chosen denizen against chosen denizens of eleven other planets in a race through a puzzle house where they must solve a puzzle in every room to move on.
Team Challenge Tournament – A Team Challenge Tournament involving a team of 5 denizens of Val chosen by the Planetary Council. This System Event will pit the team of 5 denizens in a tournament against other teams of 5 denizens from other worlds in back-to-back one-on-one duels with each team alternating in who challenges who, and letting each member of the teams fight as many times as they please.
After reading through them, a couple things come to mind.
For one, I have no interest in the first team competition. The other one? Yeah, sure. Because it's not working with others. But the first one? Nope.
For two, I have no interest in that puzzle house race one either. Because I don't care much for puzzles.
So if I had to pick, either King of the Hill or Challenge Tournament.
Although I'm not the only one deciding. Nor am I the only one picking who participates.
With that in mind, I just lean my cheek against the palm of my hand as I rest my elbow on the armrest. Simply waiting for the debate to begin.
But before that happens, Chaos continues speaking, not vanishing right away this time, "Now, for those of you who aren't aware, every planet must participate in a Planetary System Event at least once every two months. However, there is a new set of Planetary System Events once every month, letting you all compete in at least two every two months if you wish to. And for the first two months after the planet's establishment of your Planetary Council, you will not be required to participate in a Planetary System Event."
The Primordial begins to walk around a little bit as he speaks, "These Planetary System Events give more benefits both to the competitors within them and the worlds they're competing for than the regular Official System Events do. And which events you will be participating in must be decided at least two months prior to the month the event takes place in. So do keep that in mind when you're deciding on which ones to participate in and how often."
This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.
He glances at the Black and White Enforcers, along with my siblings and the Successor to Order for a moment before adding, "Oh, and there are no restrictions on how many times you can reuse the same teams for these competitions. So go ahead and reuse the same team every time if you wish. You may also decide on the team for the events up to one week before the event starts. Any later than that and the participants will be chosen at random from amongst the council."
And to finish off his little lecture, he focuses on the three Successors in the room – myself included – and says, "Last off, there is a Successor Planetary System Events section, but those may be difficult for your world to handle as of now, so I'd advise avoiding them for the time being."
Then he vanishes, leaving behind his echoing words once more.
Well, whatever.
Never expected to be able to hide Assimilate forever, so it doesn't really matter.
Plus it's just one skill they saw.
And not even everyone here has seen my first Official System Event.
Anyways, I go ahead and put in my vote, with everyone else doing the same. Then another notification appears on my interface.
A majority has been reached, choosing Team Challenge Tournament as the first Planetary System Event of the world known as Val.
This Event will take place in exactly 2 months and 25 days.
"And that's my cue," Chaos says in my head for some reason before reappearing once more at the center of the chamber.
"Congratulations on choosing your first Planetary System Event! I hope you don't regret it in the future!" Chaos says with a wide smile on his face. "Now let us move onto the last topic of this Planetary Council meeting!!!"
I lean back on my throne again while crossing my arms under my chest while watching Chaos's antics.
Kind of wishing he would hurry up, if I'm being honest with myself.
Because this meeting really isn't comfortable for me, and I'd rather go hunt and level up more.
The man, who was just opening his mouth as if he was about to go off and talk a lot again, freezes for a second with a glance in my direction. Then he flies into the air and says rather abruptly, "Well, since my daughter wants to hurry this up, I'll go ahead and skip the dramatics. Please start the vote on choosing your Planetary Leader. Everyone must vote, and if no one has a majority of seventy percent or more of the votes in today's vote – which I'm not expecting anyone to have that majority – there will be another vote in the next month's meeting. Now get to it."
And he vanishes again without a word.
To them, at least.
To me he asks, "So was that better?"
I can't help but blink in surprise, having very much not expected him to do that.
Uh... yeah, it was.
Thank you?
"Of course!" he replies, sounding a little too happy.
I scratch the back of my head with a frown.
Weird.
