Cold voice

We come in front of a planet, a very unusual planet. Its size is much larger than the planet Earth, at least 5 times bigger in surface area. It is a green planet, with the light blue that comes with it. A grey light seems to flicker in and out of the space surrounding it, like it is undergoing a process of great magnitude.

Suddenly the grey light fully covers the space just above the planet's atmosphere, with no visible fluctuations, at least that is what a mortal eye would see if they look at the planet from outer space. It now looks like a massive grey ball, an oddity within the darkness that surrounds it.

------------------------------------------

I slowly leave the cover of my little wooden shed, with my wooden spear of course. I stretched my aching body, it is clearly apparent that my body didn't enjoy resting in that position.

I thought of my current state, happiness flowed through every corner of my mind. The fact that I am still alive and can continue my goals and mission is giving me a positive feeling about today.

After my little stretching session, I slowly looked around my surroundings, eating the information about my immediate periphery. I looked at the materials I gathered yesterday, and started to work towards yesterday's unfinished mission.

I analyzed the sizes of the branches that I have, most of them are not similar to each other in size , so I start breaking the longer ones to match the height I need them to be.

Not all of them are accurate to my standard, but hey at least I tried and their deviations is probably not that detrimental.

I arranged them side by side, and I ripped away attention from them and towards the vines. I checked the vines' state, to see if their quality is good enough. It seems satisfactory , no major deterioration of quality, it is just several hours after all.

I took several long vines, and start to carefully tie the branches I chose together. I don't remember much from the tying lessons I got in the past so I just tie and tie again till there is no more vines to tie.

It is a good thing that I collected a lot of vines, or else I might have needed to get more. Aaannnd done, a small slab of wood, made up of branches tied together.

I bring it over to the spot where I want to place my shelter, and remember the location of each point of the wooden slab. I mark those for later, then I set aside my little wooden contraption and start doing the next phase of my plan.

I broke off a rather small stick from one of the bigger branches and start digging a hole on one of the marked places. The ground is rather soft and wet, it might be because of the forest's rather dark atmosphere or other reasons, either way, it makes it easier to dig the soil out and make a hole deep enough for my wood.

After I was done digging the hole, I took one of the branches inserted it into the hole. I move it a bit, checking its balance.

"A bit wobbly" I thought, and proceeded to fill in the gaps. I check my small wooden pillar's stability again, and it is rather stable if I may say.

I repeat this process, digging holes on the marked places to put my wooden pillars in and making sure they are balanced. I did this till I had 4 standing branches that could maybe pass as pillars.

I then took my slab of branches and put it atop the 4 wooden support. The slab will probably stay there as long as nothing too strong moves it. I should probably also add large leaves at the top of the slab, that way, water leakage can be minimized.

There is a bit of a problem though. From my previous observations, the trees in the surroundings doesn't have rather large leaves that can fully cover it. Small leaves would not prevent anything.

I step back, washing my eyes with every little part of my little shed. Despite it being slightly incomplete, I feel a bit proud of my creation.

Eh? Something is calling me, and it seems to be angry that I have not been responding. I should probably go to that tree, a very important matter awaits.

(A trickle of water and a few moments later)

I slowly left the back of the important matter tree, remembering to cover up the results of the matter so it will not get traced.

I do a little stretching, after which I rest for a bit. I sunk into thought, and noticed my lips that desires water, and my stomach that rumbles for food. I think for a minute or 2, and came to the conclusion that making a steady source of clean water would be the higher priority for now.

I continue resting for a few tens of minutes more and start moving again. I need to find a large rock that can gather a substantial amount of water, but not too big enough that I can't properly make a fire underneath it.

I leave my base and start going to the water stream, I might find a rock up to my expectations if I follow its flow. Following the stream is also easier if I ever get lost.

I will also bring my wooden spear to defend myself. After a minute of walking, I arrive at the water stream. For a moment, I looked at my broken reflection on the surface of the water. It reminded me of the severity of my situation.

I decide to follow the river downward, I think it might lead me to a flatter terrain or a larger river. This possible discovery might help me travel through the environment near the water.

I walk on the side of the stream. Cautious for what might hide in my surroundings, I maintained a strong grip on my makeshift weapon. The calls of the forest's small inhabitants, and the active flow of the water dominating the things that I can hear.

I stayed in this state of readiness, though some would say it is paranoia, when a voice suddenly entered my ears.

"What? What is this?

" Welcome everyone to the newest sector of Superreality. I will be your guide till the sector has fully matured and is ready to face the trials and tribulations of the wider world."

"Superreality?"

[Hello there User]

"what? where!" I quickly looked around, pointing my weapon on the direction I am looking at.

[I apologize if I have startled you, User. Would you prefer a male, female or a monotone voice?]

"Who are you? or rather what are you?" My voice dripping with suspicion.

[I am the World Guidance system. My purpose is to assist a world's inhabitants in establishing a proper power base, so it may not be completely helpless in front of older sectors.]

I relaxed my body a bit after hearing this, though still ready to move, just in case it is some kind of trick from someone.

"I am assuming that the rest of this world's inhabitants is also talking to you."

[That is correct]

"Okay, back to your first question. I want your voice to be a male voice that sounds exactly like him. Also, tell me exactly how you will guide me?"

[The system guides users by giving them access to missions, shop, unavailable, and unavailable]

This voice sounds exactly like him, this indicates that the system can read my mind. Wait! I might be too hasty in making conclusions, let me test this a bit.

Can you read my mind?

[Yes user, I can read your mind]

This might be dangerous, what if the owner of this "World Guidance System" is against me or turns against me?

[ I can assure you user, Unavailable does not bear ill will]

Can I get rid of you? The thought that someone can control you is not making me happy. I can feel a slight uneasiness come from my stomach.

[Only after the end of the Sector Maturation, User]

That is a pity, this better be worth it though. What other services can you do uh, what should I call you?

[ Please call me with any name that may suit your desire]

I thought only for a few seconds, quickly making up a name.

I will call you S, it is short and is an abbreviation of system, efficient and meaningful. Definitely not because I am too lazy to come up with a real name, yeah yeah, definitely not.

Okay, tell me what can you do besides providing missions and a shop?

[I can show you your stats, which can help you keep track of your progress.]

Show me my stats, S.

[User: Victoria

(Mortal)Body evaluation: C-

Energy Cultivation evaluation: None

Body State: Slightly starved, Thirsty]

Interesting, explain them.

[Body evaluation is for the quality of the body, by that, S mean the fitness of the body or how well it can perform. The Mortal besides body is an indication of lack of any form of Body Cultivation, and therefore only subject to mortal standards. We label anything that lacks any form of Cultivation as mortal. The evaluation is done in comparison with the rest of your species' capabilities.

Energy Cultivation is the process of utilizing Supernatural energy, in one form or another

Body state refers to all kinds of physical or supernatural effects that is currently present on the body, or if none, gives a fine evaluation

You only have access to the following information, pass requirements to gain more.]

That seems... helpful, my eyes narrowed a bit due to remnant suspicion. Can you open the System Shop or something?
