This announcement was worldwide. Every single player that was logged in at that time sees it. Unfortunately, for those that were offline, their character was automatically deleted.
Except if one has an outstanding Asteroid Artifact.
Anna was standing in her courtyard. With her title Shield of Black Mamba, she was considered a noblewoman. And all nobles must have land, thus, the Town Chief gave her a plot of land and the Town people built her a house!
With insistence from Seth regarding miscellaneous skills. She had invited women from the town and turned her house into a tiny factory where she learned various skills from them.
It was at noon when the announcement came. She too, like Seth, was shocked to see the panic of the townspeople including the Chief. In less than ten minutes, the whole Town Guards readied for battle.
At the same time, the Chief invited the Immortal Ashes to help him depend on the Town. That gave all the relevant players a General Quest.

Anna frowned as she read her Personal Quest. It's as if the game is forcing her to be his Shield.

"We are healers! We have to do everything we can to support the battlefield. We must not allow any soldier to die as long as we can heal him!" An old NPC was busy shouting at his disciple.
Sam was by the side with a big frown. He was the luckiest of them all because he spawned inside a City.
The city was large and divided into five districts. Each of them has its function.
Warriors District!
Scavengers District!
Farmers District!
Healers District?
Headquarter District!
Sam spawned in the Healers District and he was raised as a healer from day one. He did try to ditch the Warriors District but he was kicked out and punished.
Now, with the announcement, they were still not gonna fight but to offer support as healers. He can only watch the warriors matched with pride on the battlefield outside the city gate.
The sad thing was, he can summon his Sword Avatar but it has no room for use in the Healers Department.

"This is the promised Prophecy. We need to be the first to free our town! I will fire anyone that holds us back!" A middle-aged leader let out.
Their attire is like any other player but Brown. Every player in the town was from the same company as they managed to make their people be in the same areas.
Their influence in the game outweighed the one in the real world. Yet, they were still forced to follow the game rule.
They were known as Rebels.
The group that controlled more than half of the game. They were also one of the successful groups that amassed a large number of Asteroid Artifacts.
Due to their Brown Colour Attire, they were called the Bronze Army. The Bronze Army watched as the comet hit the ground several kilometres from the town and they all brought out their weapon.
"Helping you in any way will remove the blessing. So, what I will do is keep the Alpha off your army!" The town chief spat.
His attitude is harsh because he did not like the Bronze People. He was first told that the Immortals he will host will be strangers to themselves. But, that was a lie. They knew each other from the beginning and that caused him a lot of trouble.
'I will arrange a deep complaint to the Oracle. And if I did not see any payment, I will use Oath Bender to demand Justice!' the Chief thoughts.
He hated the Bronze Players with passion. Because they treat his townspeople like slaves.
Roar!
Roar!
The battle began and it was gruesome. The beasts were numerous and attacked without regard to their death.
The Monsters did not try to hide or sneak around but attacked directly and with their insane strength and weight, they bulldozed everything in their path.
"Damn it. We created tr AI but then it changed everything. These monsters have no goal but to kill us!"
The leader of the Bronze complained. But his planning was working, just with severe casualties.
What they didn't know was that the Game System distributed Players chaotically but in a way that there were no two Great Artifacts in one place.
In all of Vulcan Town, Seth Artifact is the highest and there was no equal to it. That was regarding physical artefact!
But in Bromo Town where the Bronzes were, there were three people with the Great Artifact with them.
And That elevated their difficulty without them realizing it!
~Death Arrow
A pale lanky kid shoots out his strongest attack toward one of the monsters.
The monster failed to react in time and the arrow pierced its head and destroyed its brain. Instead of blood and gore, as usual, the Monster collapsed to Brown Ash.
Then a disc and a black hole at the centre formed that absorbed the Ash and formed a Bronze-looking pearl with a halo.
Most kids in the Bronze Army were shocked before envy covered their faces. They ran to the Pearl in the hope of snatching it but the Pearl moved on its own to the pale kid and he instinctively held it.
A smile was plastered on the face of the leader. "Protect him, till he is finished! That is an order!" The Bronze Army moved and surrounded the boy.
Bronze Colour electricity flashed on his body and he screamed before he calmed down. His body considerably thinned and he was now flat on the ground like a pile of bones. But he still held a big smile.
"Perfect. How do you feel!" The leader asked.
"Different!" The boy said with no exhaustion whatsoever in his voice. Yet, he was flat lying on the floor.
"And the rewards of being the first?" He asked again.
"Amazing… first? Should I know if I'm the first?" The boy asked bewildered.
The leader frowned as he stood. He called his window and called someone.
"Will they know if they are the first?" He asked.
An old lady was shown on the screen, " Did he get the 'First Might Tattoo'? If yes, then he is the first!'"
The leader looked at the boy and asked, "Did you get the First Might Tattoo?"
"I see a 'Might Tattoo'. Not 'First Might' in the notification!"
The old lady heard him and she sighed, "He isn't the first!"
"Damn it!'
The leader was angry. All this preparation is for nought. He looked at the lanky kid that was now frowning and he decided to vent his frustration on him.
He raised his leg and stumped him.
Right at the time, the leg was going to stroke the pale kid, the right hand of the kid glowed and the leg of the leader stopped mid-air. A number that counts to ten on the boy's hand was then reduced to nine.
Boom!
The man was blasted to pieces!
He was still alive but he felt real pain and unimaginable agony as he screamed with all his might.
In the real world, the Game Cabin that the leader was using released more Nutrients Solutions to reduce the pain. Suddenly a jolt of electric current made the cabin catch fire from the inside and it began to burn him alive.
Back in the game! The old lady appeared immediately and shouted at the leader, "Apologize to him."
The pain was too much for him to have any reasoning.
"Please forgive him!" She looked at the kid that was still on the floor and said.
He was shocked too, hearing her plea, the kid's mind calmed. Whatever was happening stopped and the leader turned to pixels and disappeared.
"Rule Number one, Immortal Morons. Never provoke a newly born Temporal Warrior!" The town chief snickered.
These are the rebel groups!
