1 Chapter 1: Meeting with ROB

==========

Walter POV:

==========

???: "Hello little one, hope you enjoyed your sleep but now it's time to wake up."

Walter: "Arg... Can't you shut up Bill for god sake... ... Wait, little one, sleep ?" 'I shouldn't be sleeping nor being called 'little one'.' I get up instantly eyeing everything around me, I was in a vast white void before I was someone looking like bill my assistant/friend. 'Where am I? I should be at the reunion with these lobbyists.'

???: "I have good news for your young one: Firstly, you are dead. Secondly, you are before me ROB. Thirdly, I will give you the chance to live a new life in a brand new world. So before you stop me from asking stupid questions. Yes, you are dead all thanks to your assistant Bill.

Walter: "Wait what?!? That impossible, I'm probably just making a bad dream or drank a little too much, anyway that impossible that Bill is or will ever be the reason for my death."

ROB: "You know greed is a predominant trait of your kind, a little money here and there and poof, you die due to poison in your bottle of water. Bill become the new CEO of your company since he will obtain all of your shares now you are dead."

Walter: "Don't f*cking joke with me !!!"

==========

3 months later.

==========

Walter: "So he really betrayed me after 20 years of partnership huh..."

ROB: "Yep and it was time for you to accept it, three full months if we compare it to the earth standard. But now we can begin the serious talk. As I wanted to say, you are dead and I won't let you go back to your past life, even we "gods" have rules between us."

Walter: "If I remember correctly my younger years, now you give me 3 wishes and send me in a world for your enjoyment because I don't doubt I'm worth nothing in your eyes and I won't believe the bullshit about high karma thingy. After all, there is no free meal in the world/universe."

ROB: "Yep, it's something among those lines. Anyway, I picked you almost randomly, still need someone with a good "brain", to entertain me, I have already done that before and still have a few "shows" running but that not the subject of today matter, you can't refuse by the way. I will send you to a universe where stellar wars aren't impossible but you will have to improve the civilization you will create and guide. If your species, cultures, civilization, or nations are /killed /destroyed /assimilated /conquered you "lose" and your soul will be shattered, meaning no reincarnation after that.

To help you in this endeavor, I will grant you a system that will help you, you will have more information soon. Now the fun part, you will design your species, home system, avatar(s), and other stuff. Also, a tip between us, before wishing for anything, do all the designing. Now that everything is explained, I have things to do. Have a nice experience in your new life."

When The Bill ROB finished, he disappeared and a blue screen appears before me.

*/<The [species name] system>\*

<Greeting users I will be your system during your adventure in your new universe. Before anything else, I have to warn the user of a few options selected by the entity you call "ROB". YOU CAN'T CHANGE THEM.>

</Difficulties:\

Very Easy - Easy - Normal - Hard - Very Hard- Harcore - Nightmare.

-Picked: <Nightmare>

-Feature: <The realistic system>

-{Species/civilization}

=The user starts with a species without a "true" foundation for a civilization (Notes: Hunter/Gatherer stage.)

=The user can be betrayed by his own species/subordinates.

=The user can face rebellion from his own kind.

=The user's civilization/species isn't protected against apocalyptical events.

-{Shop}

=The user can't buy food, equipment, weapons... from the system. (Note: Shop function is disabled.)

-{Inventory}

=The user can't stock objects or living organisms in a space pocket. (Note: Inventory function is disabled.)

-{Quest}

=Quest are merely recommendations, the user is never forced to follow them but by doing so the user can gain bonuses, information, resources, and technologies.

=Due to the feature, the quest guide the user towards the rewards. (They were already present/accessible.)

=Due to the feature, the user isn't informed of the difficulties of the quest and its risk. (Note: Each action as is consequences.)

-{Sciences}

=If the user obtains a technology with the help of the system, the user will be given the ability to release the knowledge of the information if his level of education and "real" work achieved by the user is deemed sufficient. If not an individual with said abilities will be the one releasing it.

=The research tree is active, you can't obtain/research the theoretical knowledge about nuclear fusion without prior technologies. (Note: Like nuclear fission.)

=The research time of the theoretical knowledge in the system is multiplied by 16X.

=Even if you have theoretical knowledge of nuclear fusion, you need to research the practical knowledge to build a fusion core. (The practical knowledge isn't given with the theoretical one.)

=Your species can develop technologies without your intervention and you will be only informed of such progress if the technologies were developed by YOUR people no matter their species.

=Due to the news technologies from differents science-fiction works, the law of the universe will be adapted, meaning that difficulties to develop practical knowledge increased by a factor of 16X.

-{Universe}

=The user can find traces of different /civilizations /nations /species /... from science-fiction. (Warhammer 40k, Stellaris, Star wars, Halo,...)

=The diplomatic relationships are set to a realistic level.

=Universal crises are unable. (Note: Universal crises don't possess a difficulty level.)

=Galactique crises are unable.

=The difficulty of the galactic crises can go to the Nightmare level.

=Nation crises are unable

=The difficulty of the national crises can go to the Nightmare level.

=Planetary crises are unable

=The difficulty of the planetary crises can go to the Nightmare level.

=The user is not warned by the system if a crisis happens.

-{Information}

=If the user dies, he will reincarnate as a member of his species 10 years later. Due to the difficulty, the time to reincarnate is multiplied by 16X (160 years later).

=All living organisms possess a soul (Sentient, pre-sentient, and bestial life). (Note from ROB: That way, I'm sure you will think twice before committing a genocide, I have never been a fan of them.)

=The system didn't give you the full list of features but only the most important ones. If necessary the system will provide additional information in the future.

=Only the user can see and use the system.

=The user will only have to think about the system for his interface to appear. The user can navigate through it mentally.>

================================================================

<Now that the user has been given the necessary data, we will proceed toward the creation of your home system, species, and avatar.

-Notes: Every time the user dies, he will have to create a new avatar.

-Additional information:

=The system possesses a character development tree, if the user dies all the <Traits> without the tag *Permanent* will be lost.

=The user can be born with <Traits>.

=There are positive and negative <Traits>, the negative ones can only be removed if they have the tag *Removable* or with special <Traits> which overwrite, suppress, or deactivate them.

=<Traits> can appear by themselves if their acquisition conditions are completed.

Also, every rare and normal Species Traits have an opposite if you pick a negative trait, you can choose another positive one of the same category.>

Walter: "I understand"

==========

1 hour later.

==========

Walter: "I pick: Pure genes, Pendragon, Son and daughters of Gaïa, Smart, Strong, Communal, Fast Learner, High Memory and Hostile."

<The Species Traits: Smart, Fast Learner, and High Memory combined to form the Traits "Clever", all their effect improves a little.>

<The Species Traits: Communal and Hostile combined to form "Protector", all their effect are improved a little. (Note: Your species is generally unfriendly toward strangers but once accepted inside a group, the members will try to protect you. If a stranger offends someone from the group, the members will usually turn hostile.)>

<-Lifeform base: Carbonic.

-Lifeform general form: Animal

-Animal Type: Mammalian

-Template: Humanoïd => Human (Modification asked.)

-Species traits: Pure genes, Pendragon, Son and daughters of Gaïa, Clever, Strong, Protector.>

Walter: " For the modification of the physical appearance can you use as a model the wood elf from Skyrim? Also, can you give the average lifespan of my future avatar please?"

<Yes, it can be done. The average lifespan of your species should be 160 if you were to live by earth standard but since you won't you should live around 100 years before your natural death.>

Walter: "Perfect, so now the avatar or home system designing?"

</Home System designing.\

-Homeworld type: (Note: The choice only influences the general climate of said world.)

=Continental world: -Tropical world, -Forest world

...

=Gaïa world (BANNED)

<Due to the difficulty setting, you can only choose your homeworld type, all the others Home System settings will be aleatory. I use this moment to tell you, that you won't be able to choose the name of your species, world, or star due to the feature: The realistic system.>

Walter: "Ok, I choose Forest World, can you give me the general information of this world for me."

<Due to the nature of the system, the difficulty penalties, and I quote the entity ROB: "He didn't cry like a baby when he saw the difficulty settings." Two modifiers were placed on your world: 1. The planet is rich in resources of all sorts. 2. The tectonic stability has been increased, they are less risk of earthquake and eruption.>

</Home World\

-Diameter: 14 079 km

-Surface: 62% Water/ 38% Land

-Duration of a year: 396,53 days (396 days or 397 days a year and every 100 years +3 days)

-Special feature: -Rich world, -Stable tectonic plates>

<We will now proceed to create your avatar, I have to warn you since you will begin in the "primitive" world by galactic standard if you choose to start at the "weakest gender" no bonuses will be attributed. In your case, the female of your species is considered the "weakest" due to the genetic template used. As you know human women possess a lesser upper body strength compared to men in general, which can also be applied to your species. There are also other factors like the female mammalian have the pregnancy and are dependent on a man to feed them during the late stage of theirs pregnancy in a "primitive" world.>

Walter: "It doesn't matter I already know what wishes I will do, so being a woman won't be a problem after a few years and system I choose to be a woman, I lived a life as a man, it will be an interesting experience to live as a woman in this one."

<Yes user. Now since the template used to create your species was the humans, the body of an individual of your species will reach full biological maturity around 21 years old. You have to customize your appearance or choose a model for your body. You also have to choose, how you will start:

1. Born as a baby, in a tribe, you are less likely to die but the tribe has already a hierarchy in place and your freedom could be restrained meaning that it could be hard to climb the social ladder. Also, your clan isn't immune to anything, it could be decimated before you could even walk. (Note: Your tribe size, mother, father, and your location are random.)

2. You will be transferred in the world alone on one of the three continents inside a forest in the early morning of the spring days as a 15-year-old girl. You will be given knowledge of how to survive and create your own primal items and a "starter" pack: clothes, food for one day, a sling, a spear (stone), a knife (stone), marcasite, silex, bundle, and a gourd.>

Walter: "The second option and for my look Sherazade from the manga "Magi" but let my body become more mature don't want to be stuck as a loli for a hundred years, do you have a suggestion for my new name?"

<Evelyn Avalon>

Walter: "Sure."

<Now, what are your wishes user?>

Walter: "Do my wishes have a restriction?"

<Yes, they do have, if your wishes destroy the balance of the universe they won't be granted or if they modified the setting/rules of ROB.>

Walter: "Could my species be natural psionic like the Protoss of Starcraft?"

<No, but they could have a latent potential waiting to be awakened.>

Walter: "So I want my species to have latent psionic potential and the origin of this power is our souls, not some universal entity who could cause a crisis. Also, since the men of my species will have more physical strength than women; can you make sure that the women have in general more psionic power/potential than men."

<Yes, it can be done.>

Walter: "Perfect, my second wish is that I have awakened my psionic power since I have unlimited potential as a psionic in the universe. Also, since I say the psionic power and potential of my species is tied to our souls, if I died I won't lose what I acquired through my life and will take it to the next one."

<A new development tree for your character will be added but you will have to awaken your abilities when you will be on the planet and unlimited has to change to the biggest ever in the universe.>

Walter: "Ok. For my third wish, I want to have infinite life spawn."

<You can't have infinite life spawn but I have to inform you that if you progress far enough in the psionic path you could increase your wife spawn and at one point you will be "immortal".>

Walter: "I understand, question though, would I be able to share my lifespan with my families and trusted friend?"

<The psionic path is a pathway to many abilities some considered to be unnatural.>

Walter: "Ok... I will take that as a yes... Anyway, my third wish is that my home system won't be visited until my kind venture outside our home system for the first time. I don't want an "Independence Day" remake on my planet."

<Granted. The user has to confirm the setting and customization before ROB can launch this new universe.>

Walter: "I confirm."
