[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.

"So," Aldric said, his voice cutting through the murmurs. "What do we think of Edric's offer?"
