[ Important Notice :- This information pack contains a list of events that are most likely to happen if the game continues to develop the way it has been developing and does not contain anything absolute.
The future predicted in this pack can be altered if something major changes the flow of the game! ]
[ 1)
Dear player, As per the current game development, there is a big event bound to take place in exactly 55 days from now.
In about 55 days, both the Eastern and Western borders of the Unity Empire will be compromised at once, ushering the game into an era of chaos, where the Empire battles the demons at its borders.
During this time, a lot of refugees from external areas will seek asylum from the Empire for safety, while the unity of the Empire amongst the myriad races will be tested.
Emperor Julien will introduce a law that will force all citizens to contribute to the war effort, either monetarily or via joining the army.
A move that will bring massive unrest amongst the lower class of the Empire, who is unable to pay the fees for the war.
Depending on how the war against the demons progresses, there is a fair chance that due to a combination of internal and external pressure. The Empire might fragment into four separate kingdoms, with Emperor Julien D Evanus assassinated.
2)
The demon army raiding the Empire's lands will harbor some special beasts within their ranks called 'Chimera'.
These would be hideous and brainless monsters that have been created by merging body parts from different species together and killing these Chimera will yield massive EXP rewards to all players that hunt them.
In case you find and eliminate the demon doctor, the mad man behind the creation of these Chimera, you will be rewarded with one of the game's only legacy items.
3)
If a rebellion against the Empire is started by the kings of myriad species, all players will be given a chance to either join the side of the Unity Empire or the side of the new kingdoms.
Depending on one's choice, the quest given to both sides will vary and so will the rewards given when the final outcome is decided, with the losing side suffering heavy debuffs as failure penalty.

As Leo read the information pack, he felt like he was ready to jump off the seat he was seated in, as the information he received from within the pack was just that shocking.
"What the fuck? The game is about to undergo such a massive shift and nobody is any wiser?" Leo wondered, as gruesome scenes of war and death filled his head.
The information that he had received from the information pack was simply ground breaking, as it seemed like the entire gaming meta was about to change.
"If given a choice between helping the Empire and breaking it apart, there's no saying as to who will choose what.
Many players may join the Empire, however, many may join the rebel forces too.
In such a scenario driving public opinion and securing majority support for whatever option I plan to choose should be a must" Leo murmured to himself, as he began pondering on how he could make use of this information, now that he knew about the future events 55 days in advance.
"The second evaluation begins exactly in 53 days, with the celebration day being 52 days from now.
This means that almost as soon as the second evaluation ends, the game will enter its next phase, with the focus being on something new this time instead of developing skills.
If the previous trends continue, the system operators will give all players a new target to focus on for the third evaluation in one years time, and this time it might be something related to the war" Leo theorized as he used his brain as best as he could to predict future patterns and trends that he could exploit.
"While I am not an economic genius, as far as I understand, once war time starts, the price of essential commodities like food and grain will skyrocket alongside the price for precious metals like gold, silver, etc.
Weapons, Armors, Bombs and other commodities will see their prices increase sharply, and all this can be exploited by Leo Skyshard the merchant to make a big profit" Leo thought, as he felt like using this future knowledge he could position Leo Skyshard the merchant in a way that could help him make a killing on the open market.
"My biggest restriction right now is my capital, with the 500,000 gold coins that I received as a reward for winning the grand tournament, the total coins I have now is nearly 620,000 gold.
While by no means a small sum, if I want to make it big within the merchant world, I need to borrow lots of gold in the next 55 days to stock up on commodities whose prices will shoot up in the coming months and then sell it all after the war breaks out to make a massive profit.
In my upcoming meeting with Shane, I should ask for a loan instead of an opportunity to launch my product chain, as even if I borrow money from him at 10% interest rate monthly, I'll be able to return it easily within 90% and still make a huge margin off it" Leo contemplated, as he read the information pack thoroughly one last time before it self destructed.
