Azure, a reclusive seventy-year-old man, seeks peace on a remote island left to him by his parents, where he plans to live out his final years in solitude. However, his quiet life is shattered when a mysterious light strikes him, initiating a fusion with an enigmatic "Nexus of Creation" system. The system informs Azure that he has only one year left to live unless he successfully creates and advances a civilization, ultimately evolving into a higher lifeform to extend his life.

Creating Civilization In My Private Island

Azure's eyes narrow as he takes in the sight. "Impressive. The architects here certainly had vision."

Rythen smiles, his voice tinged with pride. "Every structure serves a purpose, sir. The spires store prana to power the city, while the crystal domes refract light, illuminating even the deepest parts of Altheris. It's a true marvel of engineering."

They enter the outskirts of the city, where the water is thick with life. Merchants hover near their stalls, selling everything from shimmering pearls to intricately forged tridents. Schools of colorful fish dart between the streets, weaving through the flow of aquatic travelers. The hum of life and activity is palpable.

Azure gestures to a nearby carriage station, where sleek, shell-like vehicles rest in neat rows, each pulled by large, graceful seahorses. "We'll cover more ground this way. Rent us a carriage, Rythen."
