Cedric woke up and found himself in a pure white room.

  While grabbing his dizzy head, he tried his best to recall how he ended up in his current situation.

  The st thing he remembers is a loud explosion and scorg heat, which is soon followed by a massive tremble from the earth. Then, there was areme pain as he lost sensation of his body.

  Amidst his dizziness Cedric already cluded, “Have I died? Did I get struck by a meteor in broad daylight?”

  [Deteg a new creatod. The System has granted 10.000 years of assistand prote. During the time, please get used to using your Divine Ability. After 10.000 years, you may only use some of the current system funs like shops.]

  [The System has lent you 100.000 God Points, the points must be returned as soon as possible. After System assistaime ends, the GP lent will start accumuting 10% i each millennium. Please use it wisely to create a habitable world.]

  [You may opeatus window to check your personal information or ask the system for questions.]

  Although Cedri’t sure what’s happening, he still subsciously thought of status window after reading the words written on the s.

  Immediately, a different s appeared in front of him.

  [Name: Cedric Hills

  Level: Pseudo Lesser Divinity (Actual level: 0)

  Law: None.

  World: Unnamed

  World Level: 0

  World’s Average Potential: None

  GP: 100.000

  Annual GP ine: 0]

  After seeing the weird s, he finally e to his sense. “Where am I? What’s going on?”

  [You are ihe divine space of Unnamed world. Previously, you have actally obtaihe godhood and world of a fallen ght now, you’re an immortal existence.]

  “What? What kind of nonsense is this? Is this some kind of prank using holograms?” Cedriied while trying to touch the transparent s in front of him.

  [No. You may cheental ability like memory retaining and calcution power. As a god, you’ll gain an increase in your calcution ability and memory.]

  Cedric followed the word written on that s and closed his eyes. He indeed feels a massive increase in his calcution power and memory. For example, he remember what food he ate when he was two years old.

  Now that he already accepted his current state, Cedric doesn’t feel it is all that bad. Especially the part about immortality that has beeioned. After all, if there is something he is good at, it is his ability to accept things and adapt. Or at least that’s what others have said about him.

  heless, he still asked several questions. “Have I died and turned into a god? Furthermore, I now own a world?”

  [Indeed. Also, it’s not owhe world has started te with you and turned into a part of yourself. The strohe world, the stronger you will be.]

  Cedric scratched his head, “ you tell me what this whole god business is? I think I still don’t quite get it.”

  [Immortals, gods, administrators, etc. is a title for someone who have achieved eternal life. Among those, some will merge with a world and advao a higher level. Those who successfully merge with a world are usually called creatod, which is the status you have right now. As the worlds uhose creatods grow strohey will open the door to a higher level of existence.

  [Please note: As you’ve gaihe status of a god through boon, it is necessary to train slowly until you’re suitable to fully merge with the godhood and bee aced to its ability. The System’s prote time also includes prote from the burden of godhood’s information. So, it is reended for you to reach a high enough level to wield the godhood on your own. Otherwise, you’ll turn insane due to the information tained in a godhood and explode to smithereens. The kind that ’t be pieced back together by even 3d puzzle experts.]

  [Warm reminder: It is possible to forcefully increase your level by spending GP.]

  After he read all the notes and reminder, Cedric thought of something and asked about his home. “ I return to Earth a my family and friends?”

  [Your hometowh No. 38, is directly uhe System’s jurisdi. You may spend GP to visit it.]

  Cedric sighed in relief upon hearing the fact. With that information in pce, he first mahis whole god business first before taking care of other things.

  Refog his attention on the s, Cedric saw the wP fod knows how many times and decided to ask, “What is this GP you keep on talking about?”

  [GP, which is short fod Points, is the energy that be collected by god through godhood. GP be gaihrough multiple means, with the main source of GP mostly reted to managing a world.]

  Thinking how the s or at least the person behind it sound pretty chill, Cedric asked. “Who are you? What’s yoal for helping me?”

  [You may call me the System. In simple terms, System is the embodiment of the universe’s will. My job is to make sure the universe keeps oing stronger and maintain a healthy level ression.]

  After a moment of silehe System asked.

  [Do you have any more question?]

  Cedric shook his head.

  [Then, please begiing your world. As this is the first time you start to create a world, System has decided to lend some helping hand and guide you through the process for free.]

  [Please open the shop by thinking about it.]

  ‘Open shop.’ When Cedric thought so, a s opened right in front of him.

  [GP: 100.000

  Shop:

  Energy Source

  Race

  Diviem

  World System

  Visa]

  [First, please open the Energy Source se.]

  Cedric focused his sight on the word Energy Source. Before he could press it, the s ged.

  ‘As expected of a weird fantasy like teology, it actually detect my thought!’ While he thought so, Cedric began reading the s that has just ged.

  [Special Energy Source (Warning: any world may only have 1 Special Energy Source.)

  None: 0

  Mana: 30.000

  Spirit Qi: 30.000

  Basic Life force: 30.000

  Elementals: 50.000

  Mutation energy: 50.000

  Spatial Crystal: 100.000

  …]

  Cedriored the energy that ore than 100.000 GP. He isn’t even sure why such a thing is pced iore. After all, he only has 100.000 GP in his pocket.

  He instead focused on the ‘None’ sold by the system.

  “What does ‘None’ mean?”

  [If you purchased None, you still purchase one special energy iure after you’ve gathered enough GP. Please hough, world without special energy usually releases GP at a much slower rate.]

  “Why?” Cedric asked the system in curiosity.

  [GP are usually gained wheures inside your world die aurn some feedback to the world. The strohe creature’s level, the higher the amount of GP you gain. World without any special energy makes it extremely difficult for creature to train and increase their level. Which decreases the amount of GP you gained.]

  “Alright.” Cedriodded his head and discarded the idea to skip the purchase. After all, he is under a time straint. Although he isn’t sure how hard it is to collect GP but the faster he is at colleg them, the safer he should be.

  With this godhood thingy he just got, he already has aernal life. Cedric doesn’t want to lose it too fast due to self explosion. Some might thiernal life as a burden, but at least for now he will treasure it with all of his being.

  Returning to the topic, He also guess the more expensive an energy is, the more powerful they are. But he is in no dition to be picky with the limited budget in his pocket right now.

  So, he looked at the three cheapest energies.

  [Mana. be used to temper the mind and/or the body. A versatile energy with average effe everything.

  Training speed: Average.

  Lifespan increase per level up: Average.

  patibility: Inanic matters, animals, pnts, humans, elves,...

  …]

  [Spirit Qi. be used to temper the mind and body. A versatile energy with an average effe everything.

  Training speed: Extremely slow.

  Lifespan Increase per level up: Great

  ...]

  [Basic Life force. be used to temper the body. An energy focused on increasing the power of flesh.

  Training speed: Average.

  Lifespan increase per level up: Beyond Average.

  …]

  When he saw the additional information on those energies, Cedripared their fun.

  First, he discarded the Spirit Qi as it is introduced to have extremely slow training speed. System has informed him the higher leveled a creature is, the mP they feedback. With slower training speed, the profit cycle will also be slower.

  Then, he pared Mana and Basic Life Force. He mainly focused on the description about lifespan increase per level up. The Basic Life Frant beyond average amount of lifespan, which should be more than the average lifespan that Mana gives.

  Cedric’s brain quickly made a simple calcution.

  More lifespan gives more leeway in term of time, with more time, people will be zier. That should affect their training speed to a certaient. Which makes it a simir case to the Spirit Qi, just not as extreme.

  Furthermore, Basic Life Force cks the word ‘versatile energy’ and the ability to temper the mind in its description. Although he isn’t sure how important those are. But it should simply mean that except for the bonus lifespan, Basic Life Force is less powerful aile than Mana.

  While thinking, he suddenly cpped his hand and realized he simply ask the System for advice. “Among the three cheapest energies, whie do you think is the most suitable for my situation?”

  [Mana. It has the highest turnover rate and make yrowth easier in the early stage. Its versatility will also grant diversity in your world’s power system, which will be a great help in future adva.]

  With the System’s answer, Cedrialized his choice. “I purchase Mana.”

  His GP that’s initially at 100.000 quickly decreased to 70.000. Then, Cedric feels something and closed his eyes.

  Upon closing his eyes, he sense a vast empty space. Furthermore, he feels he is noable of geing the energy called Mana by spending GP and spread it into the empty spabsp;

  The power to create Mana most likely appears when he purchased it. But Cedric doesn’t know what’s the business with the empty space he sensed. So, he asked System about it. “System, what’s the thing I saw just now?”

  [That is your world.]

  Its answer is extremely cise, but it makes Cedric even more fused instead. “Why aren’t there anything though? All I see is emptiness.”

  [It’s because you haven’t purchased any structure for your world. You may purchase it in the World System se.]

  Cedric opehe World System se and a new s appeared in front of him.

  [Please think of your world’s expected size. You may manually craft the ndmass or used the advanced filters to gee a random ndmass. It is possible to expand the size of your world iure.]

  Cedric decided oing a ti arou million square kilometers. As for the shape, he chooses to randomize it.

  Surrounding the ti, there is a vast sea. In total, the sea is around as big as the ti. Outside the sea, there is nothingness.

  While he imagihe world he was going to create, a 3D hologram appeared in front of him. After curiously toug the hologram a a sensation of touch which shocked him, he begins to observe what’s shown on it.

  Looking at the ti surrounded by seas, he checked it and found out it is pretty much the same as the world he thought of.

  On the ti, there are many ft areas, some randomized tour, several kes, and rivers that end up in the sea. As for the huge sea, it ended upon reag the edge of the world.

  The world he decided was in the shape of a ft square with 4.000 x 4.000 kilometers size. It is the wet dream of every ft earther.

  Once he saw the prototype shown by the hologram, Cedric feels a bit ed. “With this kind of shape and size, will the water spill outside? Furthermore, could creature even live inside? After all, I think a world so small won’t have the gravity required to pull things to it.”

  [The world system also includes basic rules required to craft a habitable world you’re familiar with. It includes gravity, day-night cycle, sea tides, weather ge, and other rules.]

  Cedriodded his head at system’s expnation. With his nod, another s appeared.

  [The expected cost is 25.000 GP.]

  He thought of something. “Wait, how many steps are required to create a world until you deem it fit for creatures? After all, I still o mahe amount of GP I have so it st till the end.”

  [After choosing special energy and creating the world system. There is only o step, which is to create the living being that will popute your world.]

  Cedric ted the amount of GP he should’ve left after purchasing the ndmass and asked. “Do you think 45.000 GP is enough to popute the world?”

  [It is enough. Based on od’s record, the average amount of GP spent on first popution is 30.000 GP]

  Hearing that word, he nodded. “The’s start creating the world.”

  [Alright. System will start using yP to create the world. Please follow ahe ge as you o do it on your own iure.]

  [As the size of your designed world hasn’t reached the minimum required size to be a phe system decided to envelop it with a Crystal Wall so it may tain living creatures inside.]

  “Wait! What the hell is a Crystal Wall?” Cedric quickly asked, but it’s already too te.
