Chapter 2: Blue Window Screen

'Ugh, my head feels heavy..'

'I'm not dead?…'

Slowly opening his eyes, the blinding setting sun unfolded in front of Cedric.

"Ouch, ugh, my eyes!"

Cedric moved away from the window, as he kept on rubbing his eyes.

'I can't see anything, my eyes are blurry.'

Closing and opening his eyes a few times. Cedric's eyesight finally returned to normal. He slowly stood up glancing at the broken computer on the coffee table.

"Right, I spent over 1,200 dollars…"

Holding his stomach that's frequently producing sounds depicting he was extremely famished. Cedric headed to his kitchen. Opening the fridge there was only a loaf of bread.

"Well, I have to survive.."

Eating the stale and hard bread, Cedric suddenly remembered that peculiar voice inside his head. Not only that Cedric remembered, the blue window screen that appeared in front of him last night.

'Nah no way. There's no such thing as a system, they only exist in novels.'

Constructing that thought, Cedric continued to eat.

After eating one piece of bread. Cedric sat on the sofa resting his worn-out head.

'Need to find a job. But my body is still tired. Can't believe that I passed out last night..'

Though Cedric didn't admit it. Last night, when he was face to face with that blue window screen, it made him have thoughts that he was going to somehow transmigrate to another world.

"Heh. Transmigrating in another world, or else reincarnating in another world huh? Can't believe that I'm thinking that what happened last night was real. I mean, come on!"

With a chuckle, Cedric carefully thought about it but, numerous people in the world have different powers. Some can manipulate air, some are given extraordinary physiques.

And the possibility of a system?

Cedric shakes his head, he didn't want to believe that such a possibility is true...

"No way right? Don't tell me that if I suddenly say Appraisal a window screen would show itself and show me the items description... Right?"

Cedric was now standing holding his favorite mug in front of him.

"Appraisal!"

"..."

There wasn't any bell chime, nor a window screen appearing in front of him.

"That was embarrassing... Nothing also happened.."

Cedric put the cup down on the table. Suddenly a bell chime resounded.

[Mug]

[Description: A mug with a golden retriever as its design. The mug was given to Cedric as a gift from one of his co-workers at the construction site.

Weight: 0.2

Effect: Keeps the drink hot.

* This mug has been in the possession of Cedric for three years.]

"W-W-What?!"

"I-It's real?!"

Cedric covered his mouth in excitement. He couldn't believe that the so-called all-powerful system he only read in novels or manhwa was now in his possession!

"I must be dreaming."

Cedric closed his eyes and slowly opened his eyes, seeing that the blue window screen was still in front of him.

"This isn't a dream?… Yessssssssssss!"

Cedric glanced around his apartment and started to use the appraisal on every object. Though the description wasn't fully detailed, still the fact that Cedric a huge fan of novels could have a system he only dreamed of made him enthusiastic and excited!

"Alright, I've always wanted to do this.."

"Check status info."

[Cedric Jacquier]

[Description: Currently the host. A 26-year-old man who works at many part-time jobs to pay off his debt.

System Objective: Not chosen

* Currently malnourished

* Health declining due to lack of sleep and nutrition ]

"What the heck is up with this crap status? And why is my health deteriorating?"

Cedric carefully glanced at his status. He was particularly strong after working in many construction sites, but his agility was only 23.

His dexterity was quite high, but his charm made Cedric twitch in displeasure. He knew he wasn't that good-looking. But his charm was even lower than his agility making him feel dissatisfaction.

"So my health is declining fast…"

Cedric glanced at the System objective on the system.

"What's this System's objective?"

"..."

The system didn't answer, and Cedric analyzed that the system doesn't have any sort of communication in its program. It would only show his status and appraisal of items.

Cedric pressed the System objective and a description presented itself.

[System Objective]

[The host can choose what the system should focus on. Once the host chose the system objective, the system will copy and find skills related to what the host desires. It will then showcase and help the host achieve a certain goal.

For example, once the host chose the system objective is for the host to become the greatest singer of all time. The system will find numerous skills, to help the host achieve his goal.]

"Oh."

Understanding what the feature was. Cedric already had the system objective in mind.

"Well, then I think I should start now…"

Cedric was quite impatient, he wanted to try the system's function immediately.

"Add system objective."

Then the window screen shifted.

[Please input the systems objective.]

"Then... For the system's objective, I want it to help me to become the greatest game creator in the whole world."

[Understood]

[The unnamed system will now be known as the….]

[Game Creator System!]

[Analyzing data. Searching for a Game Creation skill set. Copying relevant skills…..]

[The host has acquired the following skills!]

[System Game Creation: Level 1 (00.00)

Description: This skill allows the host to create the game without any use of platforms or technology. Instead, the game will be created using the system.]

[Game Storyline: Level 1 (00.00)

Description: This skill allows the host to create the storyline of his game. The system will then apply the storyline to the game.

* To create the storyline, the host will be transported inside the developing game. He must create the storyline, while also playing the game.]

[Character/Npc Creation: Level 1 (00.00)

Description: This skill allows the host to create the characters and NPC of the game. The host must create characters or named NPCs for the game's storyline.

Description: This skill allows the host to view the entire game world's creation.

* Once the world is finished creating, a small miniature planet would be created for the host to view what is currently happening to the game worlds.

* The host will receive notifications and even receive prayers from his creation.]

"These skills are amazing…"

Though he couldn't comprehend all the functions the skills had. But knowing that his lifelong dream is coming true, made Cedric eager about what the future holds.

[Would you like to start creating the world now?]

"Yes!"

[Transporting the host into the systems room..]

Cedric's body felt as if he was being sucked by a vortex. Suddenly Cedric could see his surroundings twirl before he could even comprehend what was currently happening. Cedric was now floating in an abyssal darkness.

"Wow.."

Cedric had trouble moving his body, he was amazed and at the same time frightened as he is currently floating in pitch darkness.

[Please choose the game you want to create]

[A. Survival Game]

[B. War Game]

[C. Zombie Game]

[D. Custom Game]

What Cedric wanted to create was that game he gave all his efforts in.

The other three weren't his cue.

"D. Custom Game"

[Please choose the preference of the game]

[A. 2d]

[B. 3d]

[C. Virtual Reality]

[D. Realism]

"Realism!"

Cedric wanted to create another world. Though Virtual Reality can do that function as well, still he doesn't want to see his creations as 3d characters.

That's why when Cedric saw the D. Realism he knew that maybe this would allow him to create human realistic characters.

[Creating Custom Realism Game…]

[Creating the Planet…]

[Done!]

[Would you like to view the planet?]

"Yes!"

The black abyss suddenly shifted, and a miniature planet floated in front of Cedric. It was the same size as a motorcar, but the planet was barren. There weren't any plants or grass. It only has dried-up soil.

[What would you like to name this game?]

Choosing a name for the game requires effort. As a creator you can't just randomly name the game you created, it has to have a meaning behind it.

Luckily Cedric already had a name, that name was supposed to be for the game he initially created but now he is going to use that name for this game.

"Atlas"

Atlas, a book of maps or charts. Also, the giant in Greek mythology who supported the sky. Cedric chose the name for it, for in the future the players would be the ones supporting the game.

[Atlas]

[Creations: 0

History: None

Storyline: None

* A world created by the host. Right now it is a solid wasteland and in need of the host to give it life.

* The world is in its beginning faces, please tend carefully so the world will blossom into a wonderful planet.]

[Would you like to edit the world?]

"Yes."

[Then please create a character…]

The screen shifted and a doll on the screen appeared. On the right corner were all sorts of functions, such as adding hair, skin color, clothing, and background.
