424 Jack And Margarett, Entering New Eden

Across the continent from Stellar Woodlands, in a small human settlement, many new players appeared for the first time in New Eden. Amongst these players, an old man opened his steel-grey eyes slowly, taking in the new feeling of a different world.

This old man was Jack Boudreau, playing New Eden for the first time, alongside his wife, who was nowhere to be found near him.

Jack had done his homework, figuring out the interface commands and options before he ever launched the game. So he was ready for this eventuality and knew what to do.

He opened up the message interface, which he had already linked to his phone contacts before they completed the game update, and opened up a message window to his wife.

'Were you teleported into a town?'

The response from his wife came back quickly.

'Yes. It looks like a small, rundown village. The people here look haggard.'
