While Others Are Increasing Their Rank: I'm Creating A Game

In a world where some people possess extraordinary abilities such as controlling air, manipulating water, or having a superhuman physique, how can an ordinary and average person without such talents survive? In 1982, the world entered a new era as some individuals began exhibiting unusual powers. However, this ability only appears in one out of every thousand humans. Governments worldwide agreed to assign ranks to those who possessed these powers to maintain peace. Some individuals, known as S-ranks, possess exceptional abilities and are considered all-powerful by ordinary people. Despite the presence of these extraordinary beings, peace still prevails in society. Cedric Jacquier, a non-manifested individual, had one dream - to create a game and earn money. However, his dream was shattered when his old computer broke down, along with his three-year game project. Cedric was once again left in despair due to his misfortune. Cedric fainted due to malnutrition and health problems. Strangely, a blue window screen appeared before him. Cedric decided to recreate the game he had lost. This led to the creation of a hyper-realistic game that could transport users to another world. The game was called "Atlas" and it quickly gained popularity, with both ordinary people and enthusiasts eager to purchase the game capsule and experience the alternate reality. Despite assistance from the system, Cedric found that creating the game was still a challenging task. He had to develop a compelling storyline, design characters and NPCs to drive the plot forward. Despite facing many challenges, Cedric's determination and use of the Game Creator System enabled him to develop a game that has attracted over 5 billion players worldwide. It is renowned for its incredible graphics and lifelike quality, as well as its captivating plot and storyline. Prologue 1: "Atlas" The game known as "Atlas" and dubbed "with the title "Another World" was renowned for its hyperrealistic graphics. Both individuals with manifested abilities and regular people were able to enjoy the game. "Well hello there folks, welcome to Tonight's show with me your host. Michael Moore, and for our special guest the one and only! The Creator of Atlas with over 3 billion players worldwide! Mr. Cedric Jacquier!" The crowd cheered, many players who experienced the game Atlas were all excited to finally see the mysterious creator. As the red curtains were drawn, many gasped in awe, particularly the female players and audience. Meanwhile, the male audience felt envious. "Ohh hello there Mr. Jacquier, it's nice to finally meet you!" "The pleasure is mine." Cedric and Michael were seated on the sofa, and Michael's excitement was palpable upon seeing Cedric's arrival. He was also one of the select few players in the game. "Talent, wealth, skills, and a man with good looks. Truly you are blessed in many ways, Mr. Jacquier" "Well, I wouldn't call blessed." "Can I ask Mr. Jacquier? Where did you get the idea of creating Atlas?" "Well Michael, It's a long story. Well, I first created Atlas on my computer, it was a 2d game. Then from one problem rose another." "Oh, what kind of problems were there Mr. Jacquier?" "My computer got damaged, erasing the game from its data." "I see, but there are many news that you manifested is that true Mr. Jacquier?" "Nope, I'm not one of the manifested individuals. I'm just a common man, who created a game." "Then can you tell us how you became one of the richest men in the world?" "Well, Michael...In short, when others were busy trying to increase their ranks, I was busy creating the game." ....

Chapter 31: Mama Bear

"You're just like your mother.."

Primo who heard what his father had said narrowed his eyes.

"What do you mean? Mom and Me? Tch were not the same at all!"

"Is that so? Though you look like a mini version of me, that free spirit of yours is exactly like hers.."

"We're not alike at all Dad! Mom's super duper mean! She doesn't even let me play in the forest!"

"You've been in the forest? Primo…"

"Urghhh why can't I go to the forest?!"

"It's dangerous, I was presumed death, but thanks to the gods I was brought back to life.."

"Goddess, why does everyone always talk about her? What's so amazing about her?"

"Amazing? She's our goddess, Primo, use respect in your tone.."

"Tch.."

….

Meanwhile, Lenta was tending to the two children.

"Mom…"

"Hmm yes, Pan?"

"Umm is the goddess real?"

"Pan, are you doubting the goddess's existence?"

"Well…Primo doesn't believe in her.."

"You shouldn't follow what Primo does, just because he's your older brother that doesn't mean he's right. Don't follow and do everything your brother does alright?"

"Okay.."

Meanwhile, Terzo was eating the sweets his brother Primo left behind.

"Terzo?"

"Hmppp pyes?"

"Sweetheart, you're being too greedy, you even ate your own brother's food.."

"Bwat it's too sweet!"

"Hah.."

Lenta was having a nightmare with her children. As they got older, the harder it was to control and teach them.

'Oh dear goddess please forgive my children, they don't truly understand yet..'

"Hah!"

"You doing good Primo!"

The father and son were helping the other Beastmen in plowing the land. They were planning on making new fields to further sustain the Beastmen tribe.

"Hah!"

Primo was helping by plowing on the land as well. The father and son continued their work.

….

"Wake up!"

"Huh? Oh old man hey…"

The old man hit Cedric with the broom.

"Ouch, old man!"

"I didn't pay you to slack off!"

Cedric held the broom and started to sweep the floor.

"Old man the floor is already cleaned"

"Just do your job…"

"Hah.."

Suddenly the bell chimed and a young man wearing a pair of circular eyeglasses, wearing a white t-shirt, and black pants entered the store.

"Oh hello there, what can I get you?"

"Hm? An employee?"

"Elias?"

"Grandpa!"

"Elias!"

Cedric watched the reunion between the grandfather and grandson. But strangely looking at the young man's face made Cedric remember something.

'That face looks familiar…where was it? I'm sure I saw him somewhere…ah!'

"Aren't you Elias Sevon?"

"You know me?"

"Of course, I know you! Elias Sevon one of the co-founders of the Game Tube company aren't you?"

"Oh, yeah, I didn't know that someone would realize who I am…."

Elias Sevon is a 24-year-old young man. A co-founder of one of the best gaming websites for many creators in the world. At the young age of 15, he created his first game and grossed over 1 million dollars.

He's been racking up many profits from thousands of games he created, but the most prominent one that he created was the website of Game Tube in which players could sell their games. The games would be in a thorough process.

And if your lucky and the investors find your game profitable, the game would be posted and would be advertised to billions of people in the world.

"I'm a huge fan, this must be luck isn't it?"

"Oh haha…"

"Cedric you can have a day off.."

"Eh? Really?"

"Yes so shoo now I want to talk with my grandson!"

"Oh um, well It was nice meeting you, Elias."

Cedric left the store jumping, he was glad to have a day off. As such Cedric left the store it was already the afternoon, and he decided to go home immediately to see his creations. After using Orcus's body, Cedric was rather excited to use Lux's character.

"Elias come sit…"

"Grandpa…"

"What's wrong?"

"They got everything...I'm broke.."

"What? What happened? Sit down I'll listen!"

….

"So you're telling me that damn Ryan did what?"

"It was a stupid mistake that I did, I was drunk…maybe high….and I signed the goddamn documents…"

"Fool! Didn't I tell you many times already? Don't let your guard down!"

"I know Grandpa…"

"Hah, so how much left is in your card?"

"Umm, I still have 10 million…"

"Hah…This is a problem, if I close down the store and sell some of my belongings we will be able to gather up to 5 million I think…"

"You don't have to Grandpa, this is my fault. I should have been more cautious.."

"Hah you're just like your father, you're too easy! You can't choose a proper friend or a proper worker! Look at how the tables have turned…hah"

"I'm sorry…"

"Well, then I guess I have to fire that employee of mine…"

….

Cedric entered the game, and soon he saw that the Ogre tribe was now finished recreating their home. Cedric chose the character of Orcus.

Meanwhile, the Ogre tribe who was finished with their reconstruction had gone back to their normal lives.

"Hah!"

Marik was using the small axe on hitting the tree, he was sweating and had small bruises on his hands. He was sweating profusely.

"Hey, Marik! Want to play with us?"

"No! I'm busy!"

"Aww, he's been like that ever since God Orcus visited.."

Marik admired their god Orcus. As such Marik aspired to be one just like Orcus, he even pestered his father in creating a small axe for him.

'I must first practice with this axe, then I'll add another axe for my training!'

"Mas..ter?"

"Shh Vine!.."

Vite and Vine were getting along, ever since that day, all Vite could remember was the warm hand on her forehead. Her mother was safe, and so was her father. Vite also received an apology from Vine.

Though Vite doesn't fully accept Vine's apology, she has grown closer to Vine after spending two days with Vine.

Some of the other kids tried to play with Vite, but she was still too afraid to get along with them. Though the other kids started to ask if she wanted to play, Vite was too shy and was scared that she might hurt them.

"Hey! Come out!"

"Master?….He...Called!"

Vite came out of the bush with Vine in her arms.

"Hi…"

"Oh hey, Vite! What are you doing here? And with that?"

"You mean Vine?"

"Yeah, Vine…"

"I was just curious why you were training…"

"Well you were passed out, but I saw it our god Orcus just threw his axe at that Vine monster you have, and swoosh! It cut! Orcus didn't even break a sweat beating that thing up. And I'm training to become one!"

"The thing? Are you implying to Vine?"

"Who else am I implying to? It is a monster, and who knows maybe next time it will attack again so I must be ready to protect everyone. That thing on your hands almost killed my father, luckily Orcus was there to protect and heal my father."

"Oh…"

"Jahahaha so this is where you two were?"

In the sky, a man fell.

"Vite, Marik!"

"Woah! Orcus!"

"I see that you training hard Marik and Vite, I'm glad that you got along with Vine."

"Hello…Orcus…"

'Cute.'

"Hello, Orcus.."

'Adorable'

"Orcus, umm can you teach me with using the axe? Um, tips and tricks?"

"So you aspire to be like me? That's great! Jahahaha keep up the good work Marik. But tips and tricks hmmm, I'll teach you that later, for now, I'll have a chat with Vite, keep up the good work Marik!"

"Yes!"

Marik who heard the order began to train even harder.

'I'm going to become just like Orcus!'

Vite who was holding Vine in her hands glanced at the man in front of her, a blush appeared in front of her face.

"Vite, so how are you feeling?"

"Oh, I'm alright God Orcus!"

"How are the other children?"

"Oh, they started to invite me to play with them. But...I'm too scared god Orcus. I'm scared that I might scare them or hurt them, once my emotions get the better of me, Vine would also lose control..."

"So your scared that Vine might hurt the others?"

"Yes…"

"Hmm, that's not how I see it though. Vine may be dangerous, but have you noticed, every time your hurt, every time you feel sadness vine comes out? You see Vine loves you a lot, you might see it as a curse, many of the tribe see it as a curse, but it's a blessing. "

"Vine wants to protect you, for example, take a mama bear. The mama bear would do its best so that its child doesn't get hurt in any way, they get aggressive when someone comes near their children and hurts them. "

"Vine is just like that, he values your feeling and whenever he feels that you are in distress or pain, he would try his best to protect you."

"But God Orcus he hurts everyone, he might value me, and doesn't want me to get hurt, but hurting the people I love is not an exception."

"Of course, it isn't an exception. But that's why, I want you to teach Vine. Vine may be like a mother who does her best to protect her child but that's Vine's instinct. Vine in terms of his knowledge is a cub. That's why you have to teach Vine to know what's right and wrong, to know who to attack and who to protect."
