Building a World (Part 3)

A marker soon appeared on the tab as Shawn began to draw the race he had in mind.

He gave them golden yellow skin, short hair for the males, and long hair for the females in the range of Black to Yellow.

They had light brown eyes and an average height of 1.75 meters for males and 1.65 meters for females. They also had pointed flat ears.

"Meet the Goldorn race." was the first thought the fourteen-year-old boy had after seeing his inefficient drawing.

When he was done, he inputted his description with a text-to-speech feature, "The Goldorns value honor and command respect among themselves. They are mainly users of mana energy and have the traits of pride, strength, and a determined mindset.

However, they can also be conservative, stubborn to change, and very protective of their people. Along with them Shawn bought the elves and humans and was about to place them into the world when...

[Congratulations, you have made a new race, 'The Goldorn race.']

[Congratulations You have received a reward of 1,500.]

"Ok. At least it helped me to minimize my loss of currency from the purchase of the elves," He thought, remembering that his total CP now was 2,100 CP.

But before placing them, he asked the system a question, "System, can I forward time to 200 years before I can spawn them?"

[Are you waiting for the animals that had evolved to balance into the world first? Instead of doing that. I suggest that you just spawn them in little amounts.]

"Right. Thanks for the suggestion," He then proceeded to spawn only the goldorns and the humans. He had other plans for the kobolds. It seemed like the developers made it to be a basic pure humanoid form race paired with a monster, or animal humanoid based race.

"System, Can I create another race?"

[Of course. But after that, you won't be able to create any more new races till you reach rank 2]

"What are the requirements for upgrading to rank 2?"

The tab in front of him then changed to show the answers to his question.

Requirements for Upgrading

1. Earn at least 15,000 CP

2. Have at least five races in your world.

3. Complete at least Six quests.

4. Have an overseer for your race or world.

5. Create a realm.

After seeing the tasks he began to think about which one to complete first. For the earning of 15,000CP. He had earned 4,650 CP in total. And still had a little over 10,000 CP left to earn.

For the races, he had currently placed the goldorns, humans, and elves. Plus he still had an extra race to make.

His total number of quests so far, as shown by the quest bar, was three.

"System. What's an overseer and how do I create a realm?"

[An overseer is someone who has been blessed by you to have extraordinary powers and skills beyond the world level. Similar to someone chosen by a god. They are chosen to watch a certain place or a race of your choice while guiding them.]

[Concerning creating a realm. You just need to click on the world button on the bottom right of the tab. When it loads, then, you click on realms.]

Following the guidelines given to him Shawn proceeded to search for the world button and clicked on it. There were a variety of sections each with their name. There were World Info, Realms, Overseers, Higher Beings, Sentient Races, and Objectives.

Shawn clicked on the Realms section after he had clicked on the World Info section. The screen proceeded to show him more information about the world.

It included:

Name of World - Ornio.

Sentient Races - 3

Number of Realms - 1

The population of Sentient Beings - 1,000

The population of Animals - 130,000.

Number of Overseers - 0

Number of Higher beings - 0

After looking at it. "Soon, all of this will have empty figures and will have more than triple digits," he said before he proceeded to exit and tap on the realms button. The screen showed a picture of the world, and under it was "Add realm." He clicked on it and then a blank screen appeared in front of him.

The location where he was, which was a black and empty room, instantly changed to a view of his world. He saw the clouds that covered the round world and the stars around it.

The next moment, a notification rang in his ear. [Name your realm]

"Jury Realm."

[Purpose of Realm]

"For keeping the souls of those who have passed from the realm of the living and laying them to rest, however, the souls of those who have constantly ruined the lives of others while leaving would have to go through a thorough cleansing before being laid to rest. Doing extremely bad things, however, regards them to remain in the Jury as captives for a period of time.

[Background]

"A place that shows the stars outside of its surface but inside it's a normal plane with a huge court and..blah, blah, blah…"

[Do you want to pick a ruler and a race for this realm?]

"Wouldn't that make my free race point to be taken?"

[No]

"Alright," He then began to draw the race to bring souls to the realm. He made them have two wings, one light-colored an example being white or yellow and the other dark-colored like red or black.

Their faces were completely painted with different shapes on it. Some had diamonds; others had squares, rectangles, triangles, circles, and crosses. This was a way of knowing who was higher in rank among themselves as Crosses were the highest.

Their eyes were completely white, and their elites had one on their forehead, which was a normal brown eye. Their clothing was yellow garments and a white robe on top. They are the soul hunters. A New Soul hunter has no child form and is born when 500 souls have been cleansed.

[Is there a certain energy for this World? Is it dependent on Ornio.]

"The Jury Realm has no energy, Soul Hunters are simply able to travel into Ornio to absorb mana which manifests into their physiology, allowing them to see and seize souls, though this might change."

[Do you want to pick a ruler for this realm?]

"Of course but first spawn them, five hundred in numbers."

[Affirmed]

The soul hunters were then spawned and placed them into the jury realm.

He looked at all 500 of them and saw five that caught his interest. The five he spotted were uniquely given three eyes which most of their counterparts did not possess. Their forehead also had a cross marked their, something that caught his attention. He proceeded to call them to be addressed, "The five of you. Choose among the rest but yourselves to command as groups. When I return, whoever was the most dutiful, had the most dutiful group, will be made leader of the jury realm."

After saying that, the five of them took a bow and chorused "Yes. Master" After saying that he addressed the system. "My job here is done. Take me back to Ornio"

[Uhhh host. Just tap the realm button and choose the realm you want to go to.]

"Ohh yeah," Shawn scratched his head, feeling embarrassed.

"But how do I open the panel?"

[ "...." ]

"Just say it!"

[Just say World Panel.]

"Ok," He yelled. "Open World Panel!"

[You didn't need to shout that loud you could just have said it in your mind]

"You didn't say that."

[Do I have to?]

"Aren't you a system?, Isn't your duty to help me?"

[And you are not a baby. Intelligence is required for some things.]

"Really. Now you insult me?!"

[I didn't insult you. I just said it as a matter of fact]

"Why does it seem like I'm talking to a real human?"

[I am a real human just programmed to behave differently.]

"I don't believe you"

[You don't have to.]

"Whatever?" Shawn touched the panel and clicked on realms before the world.

Instantly, his body was surrounded by a bright light and he disappeared before appearing in the same empty room and seeing the world from it.

[Ding! Congratulations. You have made a new realm.]

[You have been rewarded 1,200CP and have completed one of the objectives, four more to go.]

"That's good" Shawn opened the panel to see that he still had four more tasks to complete.

"Create new race"

A tab appeared in front of him which he began to draw on. As he was drawing. He heard a notification.

[Logging creator out of the world.]

"Wait what?" Shawn became confused as the entire place was suddenly filled with light.

As a natural reaction, he closed his eyes. When he opened them again he heard an alarm ringing [The time was 5:00]

"Wait. I'm still alive?" he was a bit stunned.

He was then disturbed by the sound of knocking on his door.

"Shawn. It's time to get up from bed" said a Voice.

Shawn immediately ran to the door and opened it. Upon seeing that it was his mum he then hugged her.

Mum held her words and waited for him to release her which he did after a long time.

"What's gotten into you this morning?" she said after Shawn released her.

"Nothing," Shawn responded before running to his bathroom to wash his face.

He looked in the mirror, "It was all a dream, after all." He then continued washing his face before moving on to prepare for school.
