"The first clearance reward for the event boss? Finally! I've been waiting for it to show up and it only arrived after I died."
When Weiss was about to celebrate, he immediately remembered that what he saw wasn't the screen on his past life's phone but a system screen.
He was so engrossed with receiving the first clearance reward that he subconsciously forgot about the "system" part.
"Wait, system, are you real? Are you not a figment of my imagination?"
Asking the system screen in front of him, Weiss also moved his hand and touched the system screen. Contrary to his expectations, his hand didn't pass through the system screen but it landed on it as if it was a solid object.
Caressing the system screen, he found out that it was smooth as if he was touching his computer's screen.
[Host, please stop touching me.]
"Ah, sorry!"
Subconsciously, Weiss apologized. But then he realized something, "Aren't most systems I read have no intelligence and are mostly driven by the system's artificial intelligence? Are you perhaps one of those systems that have a system spirit?"
Weiss asked out of curiosity. After all, what he heard wasn't the cold robotic voice that was described by the system novels he had read. Instead, it was a feminine angelic voice that seemed to calm his mind and soul just by hearing it.
[Yes, I'm real and you haven't gone insane, yet. Furthermore, I am Alice, the system spirit of the God-Level Game Developer System. Nice to meet you, Weiss Shiro Albus.]
"Nice to meet you too, Alice."
Out of courtesy, Weiss greeted in return while he turned on the computer.
[I know you have many questions. Although I can't answer all of them, I can answer at least some of them.]
[To start with, you died along with the billions of humans on Planet Earth. However, you and a few majority managed to defeat the Reality Destroyer Dragon God. The game of Fantasia Online was developed by a higher existence and it was a test to pick out the best among the humans. It was to test whether one is qualified to defend a world from destruction.]
[Those who participated in the raid against the Reality Destroyer Dragon God will receive another life in a soon-to-be destroyed world as well as a golden finger. Those who played Fantasia Online but didn't participate in the raid will only have their memories intact in the next life but no golden finger. As for those who didn't play Fantasia Online, they entered the cycle of reincarnation as usual and will have their memories removed.]
[But since you were the main contributor to the defeat of the Reality Destroyer Dragon God, you received the best and strongest golden finger which is the God-Level Game Developer System.]
When Weiss heard Alice's explanation, he frowned, "So I am transmigrated in this soon-to-be destroyed world? What about those who played Fantasia Online but didn't participate in the raid? As you said, they will have their memories intact in their next life. But were they transmigrated in a soon-to-be destroyed world?"
[Yes, you are transmigrated in a soon-to-be destroyed world. As for those who played Fantasia online but didn't participate in the raid, they won't be transmigrated to a soon-to-be destroyed world.]
[After all, the quality of humans on Planet Earth isn't that high. If they are transmigrated to a world with impending destruction without any golden finger, it will be a miracle if they can survive until the world is destroyed, let alone save that world.]
[Only a few exceptions such as you can survive in a soon-to-be destroyed world without a golden finger. And since you are that capable, you were sent to the world with the highest threat of destruction.]
[Don't worry. Even if you die, you will still have another life in another world with your memories intact but with no golden finger. It's the consolation prize for at least being caught up in this mess.]
[However, if you save this world from its impending destruction, you can obtain ownership of this world as well as have the opportunity to step into the realms of the higher existences.]
Receiving that reply from Alice, Weiss smirked, "I'm bored anyways, so I might as well have a try at this new life of mine."
"Since I have the strongest golden finger among the rest of the raid participants, even if this world is the most difficult soon-to-be destroyed world, I still have to try at least."
[That's the spirit!]
[After all…]
[Weiss, two months from now, the invasion from another world will destroy Blue Star. You need to prepare and let the entire human race have the power to defeat those invaders! Become a God-Level Game Developer!]
"Wait, what? Two months from now? Isn't the otherworld invasion too early?"
At first, Weiss still had some confidence since he estimated that the threat of world destruction would only be a year at the least. But now, he wasn't certain.
[Don't worry too much. The power of the God-Level Game Developer System cannot be underestimated. Even if you were given only one month of preparation, it is still enough to deal with the invaders from another world.]
[After all, the dimensional gates used by the invaders aren't that powerful at the start. So, it's impossible for a god-level existence to come out of the dimensional gate on the first day of the invasion.]
"That's quite reassuring. But how do I use the God-Level Game Developer System?"
After Weiss asked that question, Alice immediately summoned the system menu.
[God-Level Game Developer System]
[Workplace]
[Status]
[Inventory]
[Game Item Shop]
In the system menu, there were only four features shown.
Before Weiss could tap any of them, Alice started her explanation.
[The Workplace feature can be used to start developing games. However, only single-type games can be chosen at the start and only a few game genres are available. As long as your developer rating increases, you will be able to create more types and genres of games.]
[The Status feature shows your status such as your developer rating, the games you have created, your power level, skills owned, Dev points, etc.]
[The Inventory feature is useful in regards to storing the game items that the host had purchased from the Game Item Shop feature. Moreover, it's also possible to store items inside the Inventory feature other than game items.]
[The Game Item Shop features in-game items that are available in the games that have been developed by you. As long as you have enough Dev points, you can spend Dev points to redeem the game items in the Game Item Shop. In other words, with enough Dev points, you can bring in-game items into reality!]
After hearing those explanations regarding the system features from Alice, Weiss tapped on the Workplace feature.
[Workplace]
[Current Game Project: None]
[Remaining Game Slots: 1]
[Game Developing Tool]
After pressing the Workplace feature, Weiss noticed the Game Developing Tool under it so he tapped it.
[Select the Game Type/s: {Single-Purpose}]
A system screen popped up in front of Weiss and after reading it, he discovered that there weren't any options other than {Single-Purpose} so he pressed it.
[Select the Game Genre/s: {Survival}, {Zombie Survival}]
Having only two options for the Game Genre, Weiss decided to choose {Zombie Survival} since he felt that it should have more valuable game items that he could redeem than the survival genre.
Since the invasion was near, Weiss knew the importance of choosing to develop games with powerful, useful, or versatile game items. They were crucial in defeating the invaders two months from now.
-Ding!
[The Game Type and Game Genre chosen is: Single-Purpose Zombie Survival!]
[To further create the Game World and the Game Rules, your mind will be sent to the Game Workshop.]
[The Game Workshop is a realm where you, the Game Developer, shape and create the Game World with god-level authority. You can decide how many trees are there in the game world, the number of entities, the rules and physics of the game, the game items, etc.]
[In layman's terms, the Game Workshop is a Game Development Software. However, in this case, you only need creativity and imagination to develop a game, and any programming and computer language skills aren't that highly needed.]
[Do you want to enter the Game Workshop?]
Hearing the explanation and question from Alice, Weiss replied, "Yes."
After answering Alice's question, Weiss felt as if his mind was blanking out as he lost consciousness.
…
Opening his eyes, Weiss found himself in a realm filled with nothing but darkness.
Before he could wander around the dark realm, a system screen appeared in front of him accompanied by Alice's sweet angelic voice.
[Weiss, you are currently inside the Game Workshop.]
[With your thoughts alone, you can start creating the assets of the Game World. However, the resources you have are only limited to the Zombie Survival game genre.]
[Since it's a single-purpose type of game, the players will only be limited to completing the game's main objective and cannot escape the game's main objective. Your game development will be based on that.]
[An example of that is a Zombie Survival game having the main objective of surviving 10 or so zombie waves. The minor objective will be to kill as many zombies as possible. So, aside from those major and minor objectives, the players can't explore beyond the zone restricted by you.]
[A single-purpose game type will have a limited number of players per server and only by reaching a certain amount of players will the game start. Completing the main objective will end the game and reset the game back to the beginning after the players receive their prizes for completing the main and minor objectives.]
[Other than having player information stored in a game database separate from the game servers, the players in a single-purpose game type will not be able to retain their previous game accounts regardless if they win the previous game or not. Every time they join a game, a new account with the same player information will be created.]
[That is to prevent any exploitations such as the player retaining their game items or equipment from the previous game and using it to their advantage in the current game. After all, if this isn't implemented, a player who completed the main objective of surviving the 30th zombie wave and joined a new game session will have the items and equipment of the 30th zombie wave despite being in the 1st zombie wave. This defeats the purpose of a single-purpose game type.]
[Furthermore, as long as you make the game challenging enough, I can allow you to include rewards such as game items being brought back to reality by the players who finished the game's objective. Of course, if you make it too easy, then you can only get Dev points at most and can't allow in-game items to be brought back to reality by the players.]
Hearing Alice's explanation, Weiss' eyes lit up in excitement, "That is to say, I can act like a god in this Game Workshop. Creating games in the Game Workshop is similar to a god's perspective when creating worlds."
"Furthermore, I need to make the game challenging enough so that I can include in-game items that could be brought back to reality as rewards for the players who completed the game."
"Although hoarding the in-game items will allow me to become invincible in this world, it's detrimental to the development of this world especially when the world will rely on my game worlds if they want to resist the incoming otherworld invasion."
"The in-game items can be used for the carrot and stick approach. With the temptation of having in-game items brought back to reality, those players would keep on playing my games. They will be reduced as my tool men!"
