Earth's Alpha Prime (a LitRPG System Survival)

After being tossed through the air like a ragdoll, MJ adjusted his little Santa outfit, making sure the hat sat just right on his head. With a grumpy huff, he floated away from the overly excited Kay and settled on Moro's shoulder, putting some space between them.

Moro didn't react to the tiny figure resting on him. He continued to observe their surroundings in silence, leaving the others to wonder if he was paying attention at all.

Jay turned to MJ and said, "In the classified information you received, there should be something about the PLANETARY VIRTUAL SANCTUARY. Give us the key details."

MJ gave a firm nod. A holographic image of Earth appeared above his tiny palms, quickly transforming into a more complex, three-dimensional model. As he spoke, the display shifted, showing everything he described in vivid detail.

"What you're seeing is a virtual network that spans the entire planet. It can be accessed by anyone, depending on the rules set by the administrator. It's a highly advanced version of the AI Space I control. The simulation in it is so accurate that even a Tier-10 powerhouse wouldn't be able to tell it apart from reality. Every fabric of reality, down to the very Laws that govern it, will be perfectly emulated.""

He paused to let that sink in before continuing.

"The VIRTUAL SANCTUARY offers huge advantages. It can simulate a wide variety of monster species from across the Universe, creating training grounds for humans to prepare them for the day the System fully assimilates with Earth. No matter where someone is on the planet, they can transfer their consciousness into the virtual space."

The hologram changed again, now showing simulations of people fighting, learning, and surviving in different terrains.

"What's even more impressive is that they'll have access to their Innate Talents while inside. That means they can get used to their abilities and even improve their mastery ahead of time. But remember, this is still a virtual space. Once they leave and return to their bodies, they're still human; just with the memory and experience they gained."

He then concluded by saying, "When Assimilation begins, they won't be clueless to the dangers or how to navigate the System. They'll have the knowledge and instincts to survive."

Kay's expression softened. The relief was clear in his eyes as he thought about the millions or even billions of lives that might be saved. But Qew's mind had gone in a completely different direction.

"Oh my God!" she burst out, her voice trembling with excitement. "With the right tweaks, this could become the most immersive VR MMORPG ever! Do you even realize how insane that is? For any otaku like me, this is a dream come true!"

She spun toward Jay, eyes wide and blazing with passion. "Brother, let me design the structure! I can make it so addictive that anyone who spends enough time in it will turn into a survival expert without even realizing it!"

Kay frowned at her enthusiasm. "Sis, this isn't the time to talk about games. We're talking about survival here. Real people, real lives. Not everyone has the time or interest to play a VR game. People are busy with their own lives. Why would they take it seriously? We need to announce this to the world so everyone understands the seriousness of the situation."

Reading on this site? This novel is published elsewhere. Support the author by seeking out the original.

Qew crossed her arms, clearly not backing down. "And you think just making an announcement will get people to jump in and prepare? That's naive, Kay. The second we make this public, there'll be panic. Riots. Protests. Many will die before the Assimilation even begins."

The air in the car turned tense. Both sides had valid points, and Jay knew it.

Kay fell silent, her words making him pause and rethink his approach. The tension inside the car grew heavy, until Moro, who had been silently watching the whole time, finally spoke.

"How can you be so sure that's what will happen?"

Qew, caught off guard by his sudden interjection, hesitated. She hadn't expected the usually silent Moro to question her so directly.

Her earlier confidence wavered as she murmured, "I've read enough apocalyptic web novels to know how these things go…"

Moro didn't change his expression. His eyes stayed on her, "So you're basing this on fiction?"

A hint of red crept onto Qew's cheeks from embarrassment. Even Jay raised an eyebrow, clearly taken aback by how quickly Moro had torn through her argument.

But Qew wasn't one to back down for long. She crossed her arms and muttered, "Kay's your favorite. Obviously, you'd take his side."

Turning to Jay, she pointed and asked, "Brother, be honest. Whose plan makes more sense, mine or Kay's?"

Jay, caught between the two, refused to pick a side. Instead, he pointed toward the Baby Santa. "MJ, haven't you been compiling profiles using all that surveillance data? Simulate both scenarios and give us a clear answer."

He looked between Kay and Qew and added, "Let the data speak."

All eyes turned to MJ, who looked horrified at being put on the spot. "Master! What have you done?!" he squeaked.

Jay simply shrugged, acting innocent. Qew leaned in closer to MJ with a sly smile. "Listen here, you little punk. If you don't back me up, I swear you'll regret it."

Kay remained silent, but Moro tightened his grip on MJ, enough to make the tiny AI nervous. MJ cried out, panicking, "I-I'll run both simulations live! Don't blame me!"

Taking a breath, MJ extended his small arms, and two holographic Earths floated above his palms. One was labeled Qew, the other Kay.

The simulations began. Everyone watched as scenes played out above the glowing orbs.

In Qew's version, the Virtual Sanctuary was launched quietly, marketed as an immersive VR experience. People joined out of curiosity. They explored, adapted, learned, and grew stronger. Even those with no clue about the System slowly turned into survival-ready individuals through repeated sessions. The final statastics showed a 43% survival rate.

Then came Kay's simulation. As soon as the truth was revealed about Assimilation, the monsters, and the Sanctuary; panic swept through cities. Misinformation flooded social media. Riots broke out. Government responses failed. People looted, fought, and in the chaos, 11% of the world's population died before Assimilation had even begun. The final survival rate was only 16%.

The differences were staggering.

Silence filled the car. Kay stared at the numbers, a dark look settling on his face. Even he couldn't argue with what he saw. Meanwhile, Qew was already leaning back with a smug smile, her earlier excitement surfacing once again.

"Told you," she said, folding her arms. "Gamifying survival really works!"
