5) Change to the mounts and pets fearure : Players may now have three mounts. Aerial mounts , land mounts and water mounts .

  The beast tamer subclass is now available .

  Combat pets can now be purchased through pet stores and may be obtained in the wild in the form of eggs.

  Note : Combat pets cannot enter dungeons , combat pets cannot enter restricted areas and towns, combat pets cannot be brought to NPC kingdoms.

  Combat pets will have personalities and may not listen to their owners commands always , they can die permanently if HP reaches zero.

  They can also gain EXP and level up to gain skills . Taming a higher EXP pet is difficult.

  Pets need food and sustainance , a weekly charge will be deducted from the adventurers account for pet mentainance . Failure of payment for three days after the week long deadline will result in pet's death.

  Pets can become tattoos on player's bodies and can be summoned using mana .

  Although it seemed like a huge update , Rudra knew it was all just for show and was actually useless. Pets were a dead end? , and not worth pouring resources into. Even the best pets had very limited combat capabilities and were weaker than the users.

  The cost of pet mentainance was huge , and no real benefit was there to the process. They could not be brought to dungeons and NPC kingdoms , also certain areas had pet restrictions .

  Although pets could help in the wild and in PVP , they would permanently die if their HP hits zero , making nurturing them a big waste of money.

  Most pets had very low HP count and defense , and players could kill them easily. Pets were a huge cheat of money , and Rudra would not fall for the scam.

  Pets were only used as cute tag alongs , just like real life. Although a dog could bite a human and be effective in some scenarios , in an actual full blown war between humans , no one would ever bring their dogs.

  Expecting combat proficiency out of them was useless.

  Both Rudra and Karna had already obtained pet eggs that were yet to hatch , it may seem to majority player base that pets had only unlocked after the update , which was not entirely wrong . However the reality was that the pets eggs were already in the game , but only those who had found them knew about their existence .

  The incubation of all eggs was long when Rudra and Karna found them , this was because the AI had ensured that even if they found the eggs they would not hatch before the second update was put in place.

  Hence while their eggs would hatch soon , the majority player base who directly bought pets or found eggs , would also have pets in a comparable time duration.

  Rudra knew from experience that it was always best to hatch a pet yourself and help it grow . Only then will it stay loyal and listen to all commands.

  An adult pet would always have an attitude and behave according to its will , and would be difficult to deal with .

  6) EXP boost ! ( Limited time offer )? : For the period of the next 3 months , every new player joining the game will get a 3X EXP boost for 30 days——

  > this boost was given soo that the gap between new players and old one's could be bridged out . Because the older players were already soo far ahead , it was very difficult for new players who started the game much later to reach the same level of progress.

  Rudra knew that , a huge influx of players were on their way to Omega , the appeal of the game was huge , and people wanted to experience this second world for themselves . Millions entered the game everyday and hence this boost was a much needed relief for them .

  7) WORLD GAMES : Introducing the World Games , A.K.A the VR Olympics . Participate in the world games representing your guilds Management city or town.

  Participate in 100 events amongst players from all over the world for the top three spots in each event.

  Huge gifts for individual winners and overall top performing? cities.

  Not much information was available about the world games , however Rudra knew that this annual event would change the face of the VR game forever. Guilds would compete on the grandest stage for pride , prestige and benefits.

  The price for winning a single category bronze would be equivalent to 15 Dark gold treasure chests worth of loot , and sky was the limit from there.

  The world games would become an event with far fetched implications on even the real world , as the event would become the most watched sporting event worldwide.

  VR Olympics would become the newer superior version of the age old Olympics , with the mix of both traditional and game like events. And the overall top performers would become the biggest clubs/ guilds in the real world too.

  The real world merchandise of those guilds would sell like hotcakes and the top performers would become international idols.

  The entire game's dynamic would change once that happens , as the focus of players would shift , many would spend their entire gaming time? training to win a single medal in a category.

  In his past life , Rudra was a nobody , someone who could not even gain the right to participate in the event, but not this time. This time not only would he participate , but also win!

  Determination filled his eyes , the road ahead was tough, and his ambitions were endless.

  This system update changed many things , however it was not an immediate update , only a few things would change at first , however the major changes would occur after the guild management event would take place and the kingdom building aspect of the game would start.

  This will be the only system update for the next year or so , as the game as players knew it would change forever in that year.

  /// Lots of interesting things , lots of great arcs upcoming , i will try adopt a very maintained pacing of story with lots of humour and satisfying moments.

  Just buckle on and support me on the ride with your tickets and stones . The content wont let u down , that's my promise to you all ! ///
