The Black Masked One awakened in an unfamiliar world nameless, memoryless just a consciousness drifting in an endless cosmic void. The only things he possessed were a mysterious black mask and an intricate system interface before him, displaying a new reality:

[Planetary Management System Activated…]
[You have been granted control over an abandoned planet…]
[Initializing preliminary tests…]

With no understanding of his past or purpose, the Black-Masked One began exploring the system. He soon discovered that he could allocate Cosmic Points, develop his planet, and nurture its inhabitants to grow stronger. He started with nothing a barren world, frail creatures, a civilization yet to be born. But he was no ordinary being.

With each decision, each modification, and every point he invested, the planet began to transform. The land flourished, resources replenished, and the inhabitants evolved into formidable warriors. Step by step, he tested the limits of his power, forged a new civilization, and raced against time to make his planet the greatest, the most advanced, and the strongest in existence.

But the system was no mere game there were consequences.

Down below, the settlers were still marveling at their newfound understanding. Some were crafting more tools, others experimenting with sticks, stones, and even the bark of trees. But all movement ceased when a voice—deep, powerful, and absolute—resounded in their minds.

Every single one of them obeyed. Their bodies stiffened, their heads snapping upward. Eyes widened in terror, in awe, in something far greater than simple understanding.

For the first time, they had heard the voice of their god.

The young man exhaled, gripping the empty air around him as if it could steady his thoughts.

"I have their attention… now what?"

He needed to be careful. One wrong word, and he could send them down a path of blind fanaticism. He had no desire to create mindless zealots.

"Use the gifts I have given you. Learn. Build. Thrive."
