Creation Space

Alec filed the information about his age and cultivation into the depths of his mind. It was interesting and worth looking over, but not just now.

For a moment, he was lost on what to do next. Then he remembered that there was still the Beginner package to open up. Remembering Gherman's advice, he thought, "Open Beginner Package." The screens in front of him changed and displayed a few new options.

[

- Building Token x2: With a building token, the host can instantly construct a building of his choice.

- 100 GT: A Game Master cannot be poor; here are a few Tokens as capital.

- Nascent Game Master Aura x 1: As the best gaming centre in the universe, the host needs to be well-equipped to receive gamers from all walks of life, whether mortal or God. In order for the weak host not to sully the system, arrangements have been made. With the Game Master Aura Equipped, all beings below it must cower. Few gods can remain standing when experiencing a mere whiff of the Game Master's True Aura.

- Game Master Attire: The host's current attire won't do. The best gaming centre in the universe cannot have its host wearing rags. Please wear the system recommended attire. When equipped, the Game Master Attire masks the host from fate and destiny, making it impossible to identify and store the host's aura for identification.

- Game Master Cane x 1: A gentleman and a joker, the host cannot be seen with any uncouth weapon; hence, the system has given him a gentleman's weapon, a cane. Nothing below The Immortal Grade can survive a swing.

- Game Cards x4: You can't call yourself the best gaming centre in the universe if there aren't any gamers present, right? Hence, the host has been given four game cards to summon four gamers to start using the gaming centre's facilities.

Before Alec could worry about other things, he heard a loud chime in his mind. His eyes bulged when he saw a new window pop up. Written in bold were the words "Quest Initiated." He zoomed in on the option and read its contents. After reading, he was far from happy.

[Novice Quest: Game

As the host of the universe's best gaming centre, you need to have at least two games to offer clients. Host, please create two games.

Perimeters: Must be completed within one day.

Reward: Anti-Suppressor x1

Penalty: Cultivation Regression: 10%

System Note: Lying Will Set You Free!]

Alex's heart sank when he saw the quest. The first thing he noticed was the penalty, and it was a brutal one at that. Ten percent of his cultivation would drop him to Tier 11, according to his own understanding. He couldn't believe that his cultivation was at Tier 20, let alone what ten percent of that level of cultivation would entail. There was one thing he knew, though: he didn't want to wait to find out.

Alex wasn't given enough time to dwell on his thoughts when he saw another quest pop up in his vision, replacing the previous one.

[Main Quest: Rebirth of The Game Master, Jester

Host cannot be allowed to be an enigmatic being only within the Game Space. Host's enigmacity must be spread out through the entirety of existence. But reaching that state is a nigh impossible quest, particularly for the talentless host. Hence, Baby Steps.

Perimeters: Become The Game Master in a Million Years.

Reward:?????

Penalty:?????

Side Quest: Growth

Grow your Game Master Occupation. This can be done through completing system quests.

"I know you are tempted to introspect, but complete the Novice Quest that has been handed out to you now," Gherman said, drawing Alex out of his thoughts.

"How?"

Gherman dragged a palm across his face in exasperation. "Use the Creation Space. You read over it a few minutes ago."

Gherman was beginning to wonder if his new master had a chance at life. Clearly, he lacked comprehension skills if he couldn't even put two and two together.

Alex complied and chose the [Creation Space] option.

[Welcome to the Creation Space, Where your Dreams are Made Manifest]

A green light washed over the white space. After a while, everything within the space was arranged into neat grids that expanded to infinity and beyond. Alex watched everything with an inquisitive expression. He noticed a few miscellaneous options in the left corner of his vision. They provided him with everything he needed to sculpt the perfect game center, from adding land to designing various cool features, games, and buildings and even npc's that could interact with everyone. The neat green light showed him which space was available to build something new on top of.

He chose the sculpting button, and a wave of power came over him. Instinctively, he knew that waving his hand over an area would bring rise to a massive land mass, and with a few measured thoughts, he could pick and choose what type of plants and grass he'd like to populate it with. Right now, he was limited to a few basic options. And that's when he quickly learned that what the system considered basic was leagues above what he would consider basic.

[Basic Grass: Blue Gold Emperor Grass 1/2 Token]

His lips twitched. Blue Gold Emperor Grass was a Class 11 spirit plant that could put up a fight with him if it went all out. Class 11 was equivalent to a Tier 11 being. And it was considered basic? A single wave of its spiritual pressure could envelop an entire planet and fully mutate any species of plant into grass. Another wave could crush that planet into fine dust. And this was basic? Didn't that mean that the system didn't hold him in high regard? Maybe it did. After all, it analyzed him as Tier 20.

[Basic Plant: Nether Wisp Tree]

Alex promised himself not to be shocked by the system after seeing Blue Gold Emperor grass being called basic, but that was before he saw the next basic plant: Nether Wisp Tree. Nether Wisp Tree was another Class 11 plant that could instantly kill anything below the 11th Tier. It generated Nether Wisp, a rare form of energy that couldn't be locked down or restrained through means other than some form of Holy energy. In short, if he had to face a Nether Wisp Tree when limited to his Soulburning side, he'd be at a massive disadvantage.

"The system is beyond your wildest dreams. These little things are nothing in comparison to what you will experience in the future," Gherman took the time to gloat a bit after seeing Alex's genuine shock for the first time.

Alex sighed and took what felt like a minute to think about what he wanted the land to look like. Countless ideas flashed through his mind at the speed of light before he gave up and just chose the next thing that popped into his mind.

Waving his hand at a measured pace, he drew the general shape he wanted the land surrounding the game center to be. And he couldn't help but notice the exhilaration flowing through him as the land below took shape.

Even with the untold power he held in Planet E3, he never quite felt like a God in the truest sense of the word. He was nothing but a Soulburner, a being that could affect the world around him through a faint connection between him and the environment. And he was known as a Soulthreader, to be exact.

Soulthreaders had the ability to manipulate living organisms. Which organism they could manipulate was random. Some could only manipulate one type, while others could manipulate multiple. He was the latter, earning him the title of a plant threader.

Manipulating plants was vastly different from creating permanent plants and sculpting land to his every whim. This was true godhood, and he liked it.

The land below condensed into a perfect crescent under his manipulation. With another wave of his hands, he covered the crescent with Blue Gold Emperor Grass and planted a few Nether Wisp Trees.

Alex sighed, gazing at the beautiful land below. He couldn't quite believe that he was responsible for its creation... with the aid of the system, of course. But the creativity was his, and no one would take that away from him.

Just as Alex was about to plan out the next stage of development, he realized that he knew absolutely nothing about games.

Rarely had he ever engaged in missions that required him to be great at some form of gaming, whether it be playing cards or something digital.

That was a major wrench in his plan. He needed to find out about games ASAP, and he only had twenty-four hours.

"Uh, Gherman, how do I get out of here? I need to gather myself and enjoy the quiet life I have going on outside," he refused to admit that he knew nothing about games. And with his quick mind, hopefully, he'd have all the information he wanted in a few hours. He could ask around at the inn as well while forming his plan for infiltrating Arcane.

"Justthink about it."
