Small life

With his magnetic field in place and plate tectonics slowly shaping his surface, Carter's journey into creation was far from over. The next step had come unexpectedly—life. But not life like Earth. The life he would create would be entirely alien, born from the equations of Threken, an unknown world.

[SYSTEM] The host now has the equations required to create a biosphere and ecosystem. Would the host like to begin?

"Life?" Carter muttered, taking a moment to grasp the enormity of what was about to happen. "I'm about to create alien life… this is crazy." Then his awe turned into excitement. "HELL YEAH! Let's do this."

[NOTICE] 25 million C energy will be used to initiate the biosphere and ecosystem creation process.

He hesitated. That was a massive chunk of energy. But how could he resist seeing what life from another world would look like? He approved the process, and immediately, a surge of energy drained from him.

The transformation was rapid. His surface morphed as strange, vibrant plants began to sprout. Giant, tree-like organisms with twisting, translucent trunks and glowing leaves rose from the ground. Thick, vine-like tendrils spread across the rocky terrain, releasing spores into the air, while patches of bioluminescent fungi glowed softly in the dark.

The ecosystem was coming to life. These alien plants photosynthesized, producing oxygen and stabilizing his atmosphere. Soon, small, strange creatures scurried across the land, nibbling on the plants, setting the foundation for a thriving food chain.

[SYSTEM] Threken biosphere and ecosystem creation complete. Life is now self-sustaining.

Carter stared in awe at the world taking shape on his surface. "It's… alive. And I made this?" He marveled at the beauty of the alien landscape, feeling an overwhelming sense of accomplishment. It wasn't Earth, but it was something entirely his own.
