Chapter 53: Chapter 53: System's Genesis

Elio's hands trembled as he opened the black book, his heart pounding with anticipation. The elegant calligraphy that filled the first pages seemed to dance before his eyes, each word pulsing with an otherworldly energy:

Greetings, my cherished creations!

Behold, the magnificent City I have bestowed upon you! I've poured the very essence of divinity into its final touches. Perhaps it's not quite the paradise you envisioned, but let it be known that the constraints were not of my making!

I've left you this walled city as a starting point. This walled sanctuary I present to you is but a mere fraction of the world, a mere 0.0015%, excluding the vast oceans. Consider it not a limitation, but a glorious challenge to ignite the fires of your potential! 

Your numbers may be humble now, a mere 100,000 souls, but I have faith that you shall flourish and multiply, with the 15 years of free barrier I've graciously provided.
