PFM: LEGACY

Ep.1 Graduation and Offer

Outside the Multipurpose Building, one by one visitors came out of the building. Three-four people then gathered to do Selfi, whether it was friends or family.

Today is graduation day for graduates of SMK Bakti Nusa, a small private school in Kediri Regency. Starting today every graduate will face their own life choices.

Half of the lucky graduates have got employment contracts with SMK factories or partner companies. Some others will rely on pre-employment subsidies as long as they have not found work or entered college.

Unlike decades ago when college mushroomed and everyone could enter as long as they had money, in the present day, everything is determined by credit.

Credit is not a currency, it is a status that is recognized by all countries and organizations that are members of the Earth Federation or Earth Federation, the ordinary people call it EF. AI—artificial intelligence— named Terra regulates and oversees credit allocation, so EF claims the system is very fair and impartial.

Everyone after birth will get credit for every act he did. Each year, each person earns 100 credits.

Every act also generates credit. Like if someone makes a donation to a charitable foundation, then he will get a certain amount of credit. If a person goes to a place of worship according to his religion, he will also get credit.

A person's accomplishments are also worth credit. When someone wins a race like a marathon or singing in a community, it is also worth the credit. When a person graduates from school or works, it is also worth the credit.

Credit can also be reduced. When a person commits a crime or violation will reduce his credit. For example, acts such as smoking in public places or littering will be reduced credit, as long as CCTV is caught installed in every corner of the city.

To qualify for the University entrance test, one must have at least 3000 credits. An 18-year-old who averages only 2000 credits, therefore the average person enters University in his 20s.

.......

A young man was seen coming out of the multipurpose building. She wears graduation clothes like the others. What's different about him is that he doesn't go out with other people like other graduates who go out with other parents or families. He's out on his own.

This teenager is a yellow. With a height of 170 cm and medium stature. His face was slightly above average. But his drowsy facial expression and thin aura made it difficult to get attention when in the crowd.

"Finally pass..," the tip of his lips pulled to the side, forming a smile. A happy expression was immediately visible. But just two seconds his expression returned to sleepy mode.

"At least it's worth a bowl of chicken noodles," at a leisurely pace he stepped into the toilet to change clothes.

"Ali, where are you going?" a middle-aged man approached Ali, a beautiful girl about 165 cm tall, in a beige hijab who was still wearing graduation clothes and a middle-aged woman followed him.

Ali greeted the man, shook hands, kissed his hands respectfully, and smiled, "Oh sir Rudi, Miss Rudi and Ratih. Good day.I want to change clothes to the toilet..."

Mr. Rudi smiled and patted Ali on the shoulder, "Al, I haven't played in a stall for a long time. Where are you going?"

"In the orphanage sir. help mas Soleh, sometime later to the stall. Dah long wanted to eat fried noodles, but not yet had time."

"Lied to sir. Ali is addicted to Arena.every go back to school always to the cafe," Ratih interjected while showing a challenging expression.

Ali could only scratch his head, muttering, "This child is apparently still upset, even though it's been two months."

Mr. Rudi sighed, as if he had guessed the cause of Ratih's rude attitude, then said, "Ratih, winning is ordinary.you have to be airy. He was a champion in the district and a finalist in the province. Your defeat is a natural thing."

Then looked back at Ali, "Al, do you intend to play Legacy after graduation? The prospects of the Arena of Glory were too limited. Great arena for amateurs. But if you want to be a Pro, the most prospective Legacy in the next few years."

Ratih's father, Mr. Rudi is arguably the first person to introduce the Arena of Glory or can be abbreviated Arena on Ali. To play it, you must use RDM which stands for Real Dream Machine, a product of multinational company Pacific Dream, one of five multinational companies that can become official members of EF with sovereign countries in the world.

RDM is a bed-shaped machine with various sensors that connect the consciousness of its users to the virtual world. Today every country or even city is developing a virtual city. Like the regency and city of Kediri, building the virtual city of Kediri. In it Kediri city infrastructure such as public services and school learning are partly done in the virtual city of Kediri.

Since SD, Ali often played to Ratih's house behind Rudi's shop. While playing, Ali is often treated to fried rice or fried noodles by Mr. Rudi. This habit lasts until SMP.

One day during the 7th grade of Junior High, Mr. Rudi invited Ali to play Arena at his RDM with Ratih. For the record, Pak Ali has three RDM units that are used by Pak Rudi, Bu Rudi and Ratih respectively. Since then Ali has been hooked on playing Arena. Mr. Rudi saw Ali's talent playing in the Arena, then allowed Ali to use his RDM while giving tips occasionally.

But for a long time Ali felt bad to borrow RDM to Mr. Rudi. What's more is growing up, Ali's feelings for Ratih slowly change from ordinary friendships to feelings of like. Ali didn't know whether Ratih knew it or not. Ali feels inferior as an orphan to express her feelings to Ratih.

Since then Ali rarely went to Ratih's house, even if he went there, only to Pak Rudi's shop to buy fried rice or fried noodles.

After all, Since SMK, Train more to play with his girl friends. While Ali in addition to helping in the orphanage, more often play Arena in the cafe. but often also Ali fight with Mr. Rudi and Ratih in the Arena.

Two months ago at the Arena competition. Ali defeated Ratih in the preliminaries, which upset Ratih to date. You could say it's natural that Ratih was upset.if not against Ali early, with the ability of Ratih, it is very possible Ratih became a semifinalist or even a finalist. And that would give Ratih quite a lot of credit.

"Yes sir, some Professional Studios offered me to join, but I'm still figuring it out,"

"I think choosing a repeater studio that wants to enter a new server next month would be better. Especially those who have pocketed the legacy clan. I'm sure if you want to wait, one or two ambitious studios will contact you. If you have a choice, do not forget to recommend Ratih, rather than help in the shop, better follow you. Hahaha..," Mr. Rudi laughed out loud.

Ali could only be silent, not knowing what to answer.

"Mr!" Ratih yelled, his face flushed red and then punched his father's arm.

next to her, Ms. Rudi smiled, then mediated, "Already! already! Practice your behavior, you're grown. Look, a lot of people are looking."

"Yes Ma'am.," Ratih then lowered his head in embarrassment.

Ali could only smile, remembered by her childhood memories. The train from before was a bit tomboyish. But since the 8th grade Junior High, Ratih has slowly grown more feminine. From that moment on Ali started to like Ratih.

Regarding the speech of Mr. Rudi, Ali felt big head. Mr. Rudi often teases him. Ali said inwardly, "Is this what is called disguised blessing?"

"Yes Ali, we went home first.once stop by the stall yes! come sir!" Feeling uncomfortable with the attention of many people towards them, Miss Rudi then pulled the hand of Ratih who was still embarrassed.

Sighing, Mr. Rudi patted Ali on the shoulder again, "Al, if you need input, come to the stall. Ugly-ugly gini, I have experience in Legacy, even though my guild is only a 3rd class guild on server 5. I hope you become a professional player with the backing of a 1st class guild."

"Al, next time I will defeat you..," Ratih looked at Ali sharply. But a smile then puffed up on her lips.

"In your dream Ra..," Ali teased, then returned a smile.

The Ratih family passed.

Rupp's...

Ali greedily finished the last noodle in his bowl.

Chicken noodles in front of the school is chicken noodles that according to Ali most delicious. Mienya with a medium thickness, so it has a good elasticity, but quickly absorbs the sauce seasoning. The sauce is a savory meatball sauce, and plus 3 quail eggs in addition to chicken pieces make it more stable.

"I will miss this chicken noodle," the orphanage where Ali lives is located 15 km from SMK Bakti Nusa. Precisely on the border of Kediri Regency and Jombang Regency. So, in the future it will rarely come here.

After finishing the iced tea, and pay to the seller. Ali waits for the bus at the stop while checking messages on his Smartphone.

There are five messages. Three messages from mobile operators, two messages each from Soleh mas telling Ali to come back soon because there will be a graduation celebration later tonight and another from Dino, his best friend. It's quite interesting.

[My friend wants to see you, he said the offer this time will not be able to refuse. The place in the Grassroot cafe, the time is up to you.]

Ali replied, [I'll be there soon.]

Five minutes later, the bus that Ali was waiting for came. Buses run slowly on crowded roads.But only Fifteen minutes is needed to get to the destination.

The cafe building in front of Ali is a three-story shophouse building. The first floor was used as a cafe, the second and third floors were places where 20 RDMs were rented. The hourly rental price is Rp 10 per hour. Keep in mind the Rupiah was once denominated in three digits decades ago.

klinting..

The door bell rang as Ali opened the cafe door. Inside the cafe are six tables with four chairs and four tables with two chairs located each near the cafe walls. Inside were some visitors who were having lunch.

Ali immediately approached the front desk occupied by two people who were a strange combination. The first person is quite fat with a height of 180 cm. Thin minus glass is located on her pointed nose, with her dark skin, She wears a blue-collared shirt and black pants. His name is Dino. He is the manager of this cafe and cafe. His views focus on smartphones.

In front of him, the man was about 30 years old. His body is thin with a height of about 175 cm. there is a resemblance to Dino's face, but his skin is lighter. There was an aura of leadership and intellect in his body. Ali used to suspect that he was a graduate of a well-known university in a big city and had little experience in the business world. He is Adam, Dino's brother. He's playing the tablet.

Ali asked about her brother's age. Hearing his best friend's answer that his brother was only 24 years old, Ali was surprised. Hearing the explanation that her brother had been playing Legacy since the first month of Legacy was launched, so her brother's mental age was at least 24 years older. This was because the Time in Legacy was four times longer than the real world. This is what makes Legacy so popular.

Currently active players of the worldwide Legacy are around 3 billion. Given that the number of humans on earth is currently 12 billion, that means a quarter of the world's population plays Legacy. Reportedly, almost everyone in Europe and North America plays Legacy.

However, this is still a luxury thing in most Asian and African countries. RDM price is currently around Rp 25,000, for a motorcycle. This may still be accessible to middle-class Indonesians. But, the monthly fee of Rp 500 per Legacy account will burden the economy of many families in Indonesia.

"Assynnya!" Ali greeted both of them.

"Glamma!" the two replied, Dino smiled and raised his right hand to greet Ali and then his attention focused on his smartphone. But his brother Adam immediately stood up and extended his hand in a polite manner.

Ali was quite impressed. Shaking Adam's hand, Ali smiled as he said, "Sorry to wait a long time."

After allowing Ali to sit down, Adam said, "I'm the one who should apologize. You should hurry here. Already eaten? Or order a drink first."

Ali replied, "Alhamdulillah, I've had iced tea."

This time it was Dino who replied, while turning off his Smartphone, "OK, I get it, you also like takoyaki right. I'll get them all. Today I'm the one who bought it. You just talk to me, "Dino then stood up and walked towards the kitchen cafe.

After Dino entered the kitchen, Adam said, "I know many studios are calling you. But to demonstrate the goodwill of our studio, I will explain the condition of our studio. Our studio was formed a month ago. But make no mistake, the majority of our members are veterans of server 1 and server 4. I used to be just the captain of an adventure group, focused on hunting monsters and selling our hunted shadow cores and the production materials we found, our group name IceAnts, is not very famous indeed. My wife is an Enchanter. He and his production group are quite famous in server 4, the name of his grub Blue Anvil. Several times made diamond level equipment. My group consists of 10 people, while my wife's group consists of 7 people. We'll create a guild on server 7. Of course, there is a reason why we are willing to delete our account and create a new account on server 7. But before, have you heard of the Legacy Clan?"
