Entering Rank 2

Two more quests to complete" said an excited Shawn as he continued the drawing of the fifth race he planned. After doing so, he then began to describe their details and qualities.

"Meet the Thawns. A race where some of their members control mana to generate ice and snow attacks, they have a skin color of blue and white hair. Their eyes are silver in colour. Thawns can live for up to 130- 140 years.

They have the qualities of being bold, fierce, and disciplined as a way of surviving the harsh life and would always prefer obedience to instructions and rules to preserve their lives over anything else."

"System, the energy I chose, as well as the traits, are they set in stone for those races?" He asked.

So far, only two of the races, Harans, and Humans, were mainly users of physical energy; the rest used mana.

*Regardless of the type of energy you chose, it would all be regulated and based on whether a region had a dense amount of mana, P.E., or not. Hardwired, yes, but environmental circumstances applied can also shape a population as well as culture.*

If they were in a location where it was thin then few among them could use it. To Shawn, this seemed experimental in a sense. After the description and answer, he proceeded to place them in the tundra which took almost half of the southern continent.

*Ding! Congratulations, you have completed the quest of making five races for your world, Ornio. You have been given 1,200 CP.*

"Good." He said.

The Tasks Tab then appeared.

Requirements for Upgrading.

1. Earn at least 12,000 CP - C

2. Have at least five races in your world - C

3. Complete at least Six quests - C

4. Have an overseer for your race or world - C

5. Create a realm - C

*Host has completed the requirements for upgrading to the next rank. Initiating upgrade process...*

After a few minutes of silence had passed, Shawn noticed that the black room seemed to have gone, a bit dimmer.

*Congratulations, you have completed the upgrade to rank 2 and unlocked more features, races, and many more.*

When Shawn looked at the screen, he noticed that Ornio now seemed to be bigger. The borders of the world stretched even further beyond with more oceans than before.

"World has expanded by 10%"

"This is the best game ever. Now I can make even more landmasses!" He said excitedly.

*Ding! Note that the world will stop expanding at rank 3 and, you can only create a new world upon reaching it.*

"Great. Another way to pour cold water over my excitement".

*You unlocked some races, the chance of creating one extra race and credited with 1,000 CP. Check the races section.*

"Shouldn't it be two extras?"

*One for each increase in rank*

"Fine, How many CPs do I have then?" he asked.

*You have 9,950CP currently*

"Good," He accepted with a nod, "Time to buy more races." he thought.

*Suggestion - Host should not place too many races on the world as it could affect the balance and status quo.*

"Noted."

He opened the race tab and saw that the races that had been unlocked were the dwarves, orcs, and kobolds.

"Hmmm. Three races. One is a humanoid, the other is a monster and the last is an animal."

He probed the system, "For now, I don't have any intentions of using the animal races. So how much are the Orcs and Dwarves?"

*Orcs cost 1,500CP, Dwarves cost 2,000.*

"That is a lot," Shawn exclaimed.

*The richer you are, the more classy you become and the higher the cost.*

"Alright, I'll buy both of them. Also, what are the requirements for entering Rank 3?"

*Deducting CP*

*Requirements for Upgrading - Complete Six or all of these quests.

1. Earn at least 22,000 CP - 12,100/22,000

2. Have at least eight races in your world - Currently 5/8

3. Complete at least ten quests - 6/10

4. Have two overseers from a race, your world or realm -

5. Have an evolved race -

6 Perform a specific action on your world -

7 Have one or more higher beings in your world - *

Shawn had unlocked the races and now he wondered where he would place them. He looked at the mountains that bordered the snowlands and jungles. The best place for the dwarves was where he placed them into separate areas so that they could divide into clans for that place.

As for the orcs, he decided to place them upon the desert coasts on the northeast of the northern continent. For now, he had no idea of any new race that he wanted to place, and he was running out of ideas for locations.

He decided to do a bit of landmass work and expanded the western islands to link to a small continent in the form of an archipelago as well as the masses of the plains.

He planned to have ten races in his world if that was the case. But he would have to change that if the system demanded it.

*Host does not need to worry. The next-to-rank requirements do not have several race quests.*

"Now to having higher beings," he said.

"Fast forward the world to 300 years"

*Deducting 1,500CP. World fast forwarding.

*300 years have passed*

"Wait!" He shouted. Did he use 5,000 CP for how long?

With a sigh, he proceeded to ask for world details and a summary of what happened for 300 years.

World details

Name of World - Ornio.

Sentient Races - 7

Realm Races - 1

Number of Realms - 2

Population of Sentient Beings - 70,000

Population of Animals - 900,000.

Number of Overseers - 1

Number of Higher beings - 0

"What's a higher being? Isn't that another word for a god?" He curiously asked.

*A higher being. Unlike an overseer is not picked from the races. The higher being has more power than an overseer and can be called a guardian or something like that.

The higher being is born to be in charge of something and is made or granted the rights by you. The higher being can also be made from a certain belief spawned by other races.*

"Ok. Thanks, I seem to have an idea of what I can make or grant that title. Does any of the races have a belief in a certain mythological being? Also, can a dead member of a race be made a higher being"

*Processing request..... Yes. Do you want to see it? A higher being can be made as long as they are from your imagination, not part of a race which includes living as one of them.*

"Yes!" Shawn replied.

A tab appeared showing different information about the mythological beings that the races had a belief in.

Shawn scanned through it and found some interesting ones with their descriptions.

Kadan - After his death, the Kento tribe of the Goldorn race believed that he was a god who descended to help them change of mana and provide enlightenment to the world. He is also believed to be the first mage of the world.

Himlo - Himlo is believed by the Dimoa people of the Haran race to be a man wielding a spear with an inner hole on the tip and holding another spear that had a mana crystal as the tip.

Himlo was a hunter of the Dimoa tribe. He used two spears to hunt every day, which made others see him as weird. One day, he came across a stone deer with a white power crystal (A crystal for strengthening one's physical prowess). He managed to kill the deer and took the crystal.

Rather than finding the use of the crystal to cast magic, Himlo discovered its use for strengthening his body's physical abilities. Curious, he used it to strengthen his spear's attacks and made faster kills. He attached the crystal as the tip of his spear and after sharpening it. He was impressed with the abilities of his spear, after all, he could use it to unleash speedy and strong attacks of his prowess. A remarkable feat came when he fought off a behemoth-sized wolf.

When he died, he was buried with a spear that had a crystal and another other that he had pierced a hole into. The Dimoa tribe, after he died, began to use holed spears for hunting and as their weapon.

Ikdorn - Ikdorn is a creature formed by the elves to be a mythological creature and the protector of the forest. Ikdo has two short antlers, each at the side of his head, and a pair of electric blue eyes. He also has a mane and can stand on two legs of a deer along with the manifestable wings of an eagle.

Semna - Semna is known as the lady who comes in the night to protect humans who have done good deeds from the cold and weather. She also comes during the day to help them during their hunts.

"I love these beliefs that are held by the races. They are so supernatural. I have the required posts that I can give to them." Shawn squealed.

"I want to make Kadan, Himlo, Ikdorn, and Semna all higher beings."

*Are you sure? The total cost for accepting them all is 1,600CP. 1 of these figures cost 400CP.*

"Alright then. You always take every opportunity to eat my money"

*Deducting costs. Forming beings.*

*Congratulations. You have completed the quest of having higher beings. Rewarded 800CP.*

A bright light shone in his view, causing him to close his eyes to avoid being blinded, when it left, four figures appeared. "Greetings, master," they said as they bowed their heads and went on their knees at Shawn.

"Woah. Hold it. No need to go that dramatic, a simple bow will do."

"We must accord respect to the creator of Ornio," said a female with midnight blue eyes which made her look frightening but mystical.

Shawn had to shake off the fright he had from the sight, "Alright rise and let me give your titles."
