Sorry for shamelessly plugging in my discord, but I want to see it grow, so I can talk to you guys and do more contests and stuff.

I went into the section designated for races and received a new message from my personal screen.

User detected on the vendor's webpage. Sending available species templates to the user's inbox. Due to the first time status of the Administrator, the user has access to three free species templates.

Please choose from the following:

High Elves

Dark Elves

Nazghôul

Drow

Voltaic Animus

Dresimer

 

I looked through the list and frowned at the choices, there were three elven variants, an undead, a golem, and a weird human elf hybrid template. I thought over my options for a moment and selected the dark elves, the drow, and the nazghôul templates, and the screen faded. I always had a sweet spot for the dark elves and the undead. But I was also curious about the drow since I always thought dark elves and the drow were one and the same. I turned my attention back to the website and thought over everything once more. I have an atmosphere, I have two magic packs, a class pack, and ten races to mess with what else am I missing? I pondered the thought for a moment before it clicked. I needed to get some monster variants! I typed in 'monster' on the search bar, and a vast amount of options appeared. I narrowed down the choices to a few specific bundles.

Basic Monster Bundle- Contains basic monster templates that scale up to a maximum of level 25 for game type variants. 0.00001 percent chance for monsters to gain sentience and become a sapient race. Cost: 50 Points

The Orc Bundle- Contains all Orc variants, including goblins and their evolutions. These monsters will scale perpetually with your races, allowing a constant way for them to grow stronger. Total Average chance for all orc and goblins to become sentient: 5% Cost:200 points

Roving Beastman hordes- Contains variants of monstrous amalgamations that will also scale based on the level of your races present. Chance to become sentient: 0.000001 percent. Cost: 250 points.

I read through the options and frowned at the cost. I had two hundred and fifty total points left from all my purchases. I thought over my options for a moment and bought the basic monster bundle and the orc one as well and felt my heartbreak as my balance of creation points dropped to zero.

I closed down the vendor's module and turned back to my first planet and brought up the customization menu. I opened up my inventory menu and dropped the atmosphere and class system onto Ouradia, causing a new prompt to appear.

You have installed a copy of a free form system onto Ouradia. Would you like to customize it based on the options given?

Standard System

Trait Based System

Specialized System

Hybrid

Custom

I clicked on the specialized system out of curiosity and quickly read through the description

Specialized System: Contains the standard stats but also contains specialized sub stats. I.e., Control, grace, finesse. Gives the user access to stat points and sub-stat points but cuts down the number of skill points given in turn as per rules of the system.

I stroked my chin as I thought about the option and clicked on the trait-based system.

Trait Based System: Gives the user traits that grant special extensions on major stats. Reduces the number of stat points given in turn per level.

What would be a decent choice of systems? I clicked between the two unable to decide. I eventually decided to click on custom and combine them to the best of my ability. I brought them together and started to sort through all the numbers before deciding to leave them the same since I wasn't quite sure what I was doing.

Custom System: Gives users access to sub-traits and allows trait extensions to help amplify effects. Stat points given are drastically reduced to balance out power curves. The first-class is either chosen or assigned based on current stats at the time.

I read over it for a second before diving back in and doing some small modifications to it. Once everything was to my liking, I installed it to Ouradia and received a new prompt.

Would you like to create custom classes?

I felt a small shiver of excitement course through my body upon reading that and immediately set to work with a few classes I had in mind.

Class Name: Slayer

Class Rarity: Rare

Stat Distribution: Three stat points are given per level. Two subskill points are given per level. Vitality gains a one and a half percent increase per every two levels. Stamina gains half of a percent increase per every two levels. Mana gains a zero percent increase per level. (Percentages are based on the maximum non-modified percentage of the respective stats)

Class type: Beserker

Prerequisites: Users must fight against insurmountable odds and come close to the brink of death to unlock the potential of this class. May also forsake everything in one's life and dedicate themselves to a life of death and destruction.

Description: Slayers are a force to be reckoned with upon the battlefield. They shun the use of all amour outside of cloth and rely on their skills to stay alive. They thrive in the thick of battle, and the closer to death they get, the more deadly they become.

Class Name: Dimensional Bender

Class Rarity: Exalted

Stat Distribution: Four stat points are given per level. Three Substat points are given per level. Vitality gains half of a percent per level. Stamina gains a quarter of a percent increase per level. Mana gains a four percent increase per every two levels. (Percentages are based on the maximum non-modified percentage of the respective stats)

Class Type: Mage

Description: Dimensional benders gain access to the multitude of dimensions that exist, and because of the alien nature of other realms, they receive unique magic from each. They explore the unexplored parts of what lies beyond this universe; however, delving too far into the unknown may result in madness and insanity.

I allocated the proper stat points into everything and saved the template, and dropped it onto Ouradia. I pinched the bridge of my nose and sat back into my chair, and suddenly felt drained. I just killed a planet and customized a world. At any point, I was fully expecting to wake up in the morning, and realize that this was all a trippy dream. I shifted forward and visualized smooth arms appearing on my chair. Once they finished materializing, I swung my legs over them and dismissed the ottoman and settled into the strangely comfortable position. Well, might as well make the most of this then shouldn't I.

I opened my inventory and quickly looked over my templates, taking stock of what I could use at the moment.

I bobbed my head as I brought over the small model of Ouradia and rifled through the customization list, and found a small amount relating to time. I had the option to fast forward, rewind, and pause. I clicked on the fast forward option, and I saw Ouradia speed up astronomically and speed around its star. A couple moments later, small white clouds started to form in the upper atmosphere, and the specks of green began to crawl across some of the continents. The oceans began to expand, and rivers began to flow. I saw snow and ice start to form on the polar caps and on peaks of the mountains expanding and contracting as seasons passed through.

I felt a small smile on my face as I watched the planet twirl through space and life start to take root. I tore my gaze from Ouradia and checked the fast forward button and saw that a couple million years flew by, and my mouth dropped, eons flew by in mere moments. I stopped the fast forward and brought the image of the planet closer and opened up my Inventory, it was time to start seeding life onto this planet.

 

"Helios, where should I add life in at?" I asked as I quickly scrolled through a three dimensional model of the supercontinents landscape. The landscape was gridlike and quite bland. The grid itself was a dark green and showed me every dip and raise in the land. I quickly scrolled through and looked at everything, amazed at the sight of what I could see on the planet.

"Add in life where ever you please. If they don't like where they are, then they will migrate my liege." I palmed my face, I need to stop looking at this as a game and look at it from the perspective of a living being. I glanced over the screen and looked over the toolbar and found a drop menu that had a few different options. Thankfully I saw an option named 'Immersive View" that replaced the grid, which I also found out was called '3D Topographical'.

The grid faded away and was replaced by a sea of trees that dotted the valley. Large spiraling trees that dwarfed even the most massive trees back on earth dotted the landscape. Mist clung to every leaf, and condensation dripped to the ground. Vast mountains decorated the background and were dwarfed by the ring that cut across the sky. The rings themselves caught the sunlight and emitted a faint greenish-blue that seemed to faintly glow.

The entire forest was so quiet that I could hear water dripping onto the ground below and the sounds of a river trickling in the distance through my screen. Occasionally the wind would gust, and the trees would shift and moan in protest, causing the forest to sound alive for a moment before everything went quiet again. I quickly scrolled through the valley, while my eyes quickly darted over the landscape, trying to find a spot that stood out to me. Eventually, I came across the opening of a decent-sized cave that jutted out from one of the overlying cliff sides.

Large vines crisscrossed the stone and were dangling in front of the entrance. Moss was panted all across the visible stone in small patches and a few feet into the cave, where I'm guessing the sunlight couldn't reach. I opened my inventory and clicked on the drow template and created a copy and placed it right at the entrance of the cave. The icon of the template blinked once and faded. I waited patiently for a moment, but nothing seemed to change. "Uhh, Helios, why isn't anything spawning?" I asked him as I felt my self worry that something might have been done incorrectly

"Relax young sire. Life takes time to grow, be patient." He reassured me, and I nodded. I really needed to work on my patience, especially with this. I quickly scrolled through and placed a few more copies of the drow template in random places. After reaching the end of the woods I decided that that was enough of the drow and that I needed to start adding in other life.

I exited the expansive valley and started to add in the humans in various different places around the supercontinent, but mainly placing them by the rivers and the coastlines, but also making sure to give the drow area a significant birth, I didn't quite want humanity to get overwhelmed by them since I wasn't sure of any of the species dispositions towards each other yet. Thankfully this continent was far more substantial in size then Asia, so they would have a while before they would meet. I went to the mountain ranges over by the vast chasm and placed a few instances of dark elves down. I pulled away from the vast continent and placed down a few more of the three on the surrounding islands and a couple on each of the other continents.

Now that those three were out of the way, it was time to place down some angels, demons, and the undead. I was going to hold onto the Nephilim until I knew for sure I could defend my self, and I wasn't even sure yet where I was going to place the ancient ones.

"Helios, where should I place the angels and demons at?" I asked him as I shifted in my chair, as I finally got uncomfortable.

"Place the angels somewhere cooler and less temperate, and place the demons where it's warm and stays that way." He told me, and I could feel the excitement build in his voice at the prospect of being with living beings. I dropped the angelic template on the northernmost pair of continents and placed the demons on the equator. I then began setting the undead template everywhere on Ouradia simply to ensure they were evenly spread just in case they were wiped out once the races started to unify. I cracked my fingers and looked over everything one more time and placed the basic monster package onto Ouradia. I decided to hold off on the orcish bundle until they had an idea of how to defend them selves properly and not get over whelmed right off the bat.

I looked over the map once more and decided that the southern most continent will be home to the Ancient Ones. I placed the template down on the continent and looked over everything one last time. Everything seemed to have a decent spread and variation to it. I felt a small bit of remorse that I couldn't place the Nephilim and the Celestial Nephilim down just yet, but they will get their chance soon. I panned over Ouradia one last time and reduced the speed of the fast forward button significantly and set an alert to stop the fast forward once life started to appear. I took a deep breath and hit fast forward and the world began to spin once more
