I can’t focus on the height but it’s hard to not keep looking down. This has brought me a whole new meaning to the word tree hugger. There doesn’t seem to be anything around, though—nothing in the nearby trees or on the ground. I can’t see through the bushes, though, so that might be something to worry about later. Okay, Tutorial.

  So, this system thing also responds to thought and specific thoughts at that. I didn’t even say the word “Tutorial” out loud. Planets are now tiered; does that mean we can go to other planets? Focus! There is another potentially hostile civilization on the planet. There is this thing called world energy, is that supposed to be magic? Lastly, when I build this settlement, I’ll get my family back. Oo! A list. How nice the system thing is, giving me a list to follow. You can never go wrong with an organized list. Well, Houston, we have a problem. This is a group project. I need other people to make decisions. I’m not sure that this will be a win if this becomes a popularity contest. How is that going to work? Am I going to be a leader or a follower? I’ll figure it out when I meet the other members of the frontier division. Oh, neat! My list matches up with the system list. I knew there would be threats! Focusing on the now.

  There’s so much to unpack in this box. I am going to have to come back to it. Status overview is next.

  There is no way I’m ready to pick a vocation. I don’t even know what that is or what it does. I haven’t even finished digesting the information that I’m receiving.

  I’ve always wanted to be an architect. There’s no details though. Altiria is that all you’re going to give me.

  I’m going to take that as a yes. So, I have not the faintest idea what a mentalist is, there’s no way to be able to tell what an Earth Architect is. I love the idea of a Grove Tender, but this is sadly not the time for wants and desires. Being that I will be aiding in building an entire civilization my best bet is probably the Earth Architect.

  The system said Altiria is alive, but I think Altiria is really alive! The system is basically Altiria’s voice to beings on the planet. That’s another can of worms I’m not even close to being ready to work out. I have so many thoughts I need to work out. Not now! Focus, I’ll come back to this later.

  My Lord in Heaven! Altiria is really alive and paying attention! It takes exactly five minutes before I can breathe again, and another five before my heart stops racing. Deep breaths are king, living is the best gift. Deep breaths. Step one, is calming down. Step two, is saving the tutorial. Step three, is completing the rest of the tutorial. Step four is following the previous plan. After creating the plan of action, I can breathe again. With just a thought steps one and two are complete. Completing the tutorial feels like it would be a nightmare. I’ve exhausted myself in this, honestly, I don’t even know how long it has been. Looking through the trees, the sun appears to be halfway past the direct center. So, maybe it’s around noon. Apparently, the sun works the same on Altiria as it does on earth. I pray it does because dying from radiation or something doesn’t seem pleasant, at all. Focusing! So, the plan was to complete the tutorial, but the day is passing me by, and I still need to find the others from the frontier division. So do I finish the tutorial or find the other frontier division members.

  Finish the tutorial or find the frontier members?
