Chapter 226 - The World Changes
( World news channel , Real world )
News announcer one (Mike)?: Today is the second day of the international summit in the United Nations , today is a historic day as voting about the permanent Seats and VETO in the security council will be done today in the general assembly. What do you think Lee ?
News announcer two (Lee) : The permanent members of the security council needs to change Mike , the world is not the same as it was 100 years ago , the dynamics of power have shifted , the once developing countries are now superpowers in their own rights , Japan , India , Korea , Germany , UAE?all these countries are taking the world stage by storm , they will not accept the rule of the five great countries anymore.
News announcer one ( Mike) : Absolutely Lee, I think the other smaller countries will also support their cause to have changes to the structure of the United Nations security council , the five great nations have exploited their veto rights enough already. In one sense some people may say that this unfair advantage is holding back the growth of many countries. Well atleast most of them are , the United States of America has surprisingly been a supporter in the rise of the other nations , the United States is without a doubt the strongest power in the world since the last century , and with their support the bill might just pass Lee .
News announcer two ( Lee ) : Well about that ....... Wait , we are getting breaking news , a new draft has been signed , with a majority signature of 192 countries a new bill has been passed to revoke the veto rights of the five great countries and a new system would be enforced to elect the security council members.
BREAKING NEWS : THE FIVE GREAT NATIONS ARE NO LONGER THE MASTERS OF THE WORLD , A CHANGE TO THE WORLD POWER DYNAMICS .
News announcer one (Mike) : What a shocking turn of events , today is a historic day , I repeat historic day Lee , the world we live in right now?is a different world than five minutes ago. Will china be able to hold their trade supremacy without the VETO available ? Will the embargos actually be placed on the five great nations now??Will the unruly actions of the great nations actually be punished now .... It is left to be seen in the future.
News announcer two ( Lee ) : well Mike I have just recieved the recently approved draft , and let me read it out for the people all around the world , the new method of appointment of security council members.
UN DRAFT :
CLAUSE ONE : The nations France , UK , USA , China and Russia will no longer be given the right to veto any substantial decision made by the general council , and will no longer be permanent members of security council.
CLAUSE TWO : The new security council will only have five members , elected yearly , the tenure of these members would be of one year , and re-election is possible .
CLAUSE THREE : The security council members will be appointed fairly through a competition in the virtual reality game OMEGA , where a yearly event called VR Olympics will be held every year in the month of December . The top five medal winners shall be given a spot in the security council.
CLAUSE FOUR : The cuber corporation will now be a direct division of the United Nations , the competition will be governed by the all powerful AI Gaia , hence the fairness of the competition will be unquestionable.
NOTE : The first ever VR Olympics will be held in 90 days time from 1 st December 2100 . The innaugral competition wil feature?50 competitions , the detailed rules about participation will be shared soon .
News announcer one ( Mike ) : My god Lee , can you believe this ..... The VR game is no longer a game .... First it dominated the world economy , digital gold coins from the game erased crypto currency , made the game's currency a world standard , and now not even a year into its launch , it now changes the world political scene ... It would be wrong to call it a game anymore Lee , it's a second reality.

( The Grey international tower , the upside )
Ethan Grey , just like everyone else in the world right now was watching this news conference , although Rudra did give him some details , watching it on TV was still shocking to say the least.
Indeed the world had changed , following today the professionals entering Omega would be astronomical , countries will get their best prodigies to go prepare for the VR Olympics , and win and loss will no longer be just a sport . The games would have devastating consequences , a medal for your country would make you a hero , a loss would make you public enemy .
The world changed today , Ethan thanked his stars that he met Rudra , his link with the Elite is proving more valuable than he could have ever imagined , although he also has Adam working for him in the main guild , Adam is afterall an American National , he is not a domestic player like Rudra , who lives in the upside.
Without Rudra Ethan would have been lost in the fast changing world. He understood today , that going forward Rudra would be a key figure in the world and could take Ethan to heights that he never imagined before.
Calling in his secretary Ethan said " Use as much funds as you need , billions , hundereds of billions. Hell even if it's a trillion , use it , make the best academy ever within the next month , i need It to be completed within 30 days get it? Also get the best tutors in the world , martial artists , physical education teachers , professional athletes , I want them all , fly them to the upside, poach them , buy them out , buy their seven generations out if you need to , but I need them here , and I need them yesterday !!!?".
