บท 5: Weiss Said, "Let There Be Light!"
After receiving Alice's promise, Weiss was motivated to reach 1 million Dev points!
At least, his goal of earning more Dev points to become stronger wasn't as boring as it was before.
With a goal in mind, Weiss decided to focus on creating the game world in the Game Workshop.
In the Game Workshop, what Weiss could see was nothing but darkness. However, he seemed able to perceive the boundless nothingness in this dark realm despite the lack of light. It was as if the Game Workshop was nothing but an extension of his body which he could freely manipulate.
For starters, Weiss didn't want the Game Workshop to be this dark so he dramatically snapped his fingers and spoke, "Weiss said, let there be light!"
As if he was the almighty creator in the Game Workshop, Weiss' words came true as a huge ball of light appeared which seemed to resemble the sun.
It was indeed the sun. After all, Weiss planned to create a game world and he wanted it to be the same as Blue Star but with some modifications depending on the game plot he had in mind.
After Weiss created the sun, he started to create the universe as well as the galaxy. But other than serving for background purposes, the universe and galaxy in the game world didn't have any other usages.
With the creation of the universe and the galaxy, Weiss created the Blue Star. But instead of creating several continents, he only created one supercontinent.
Teleporting himself towards Blue Star, specifically on the barren supercontinent, Weiss step foot on it. When his feet came into contact with the supercontinent, the barren wasteland was suddenly injected with vitality, causing green grasses to appear and tall trees to sprout.
Countless flora adorned the previously barren supercontinent.
Looking at his masterpiece, Weiss muttered, "I have to admit, using the Game Workshop is like playing a realistic sandbox game. For a second there, I was so immersed that I feel like I am God."
While Weiss was immersed in the feeling of being almighty, Alice's sweet voice reassured him.
[That's not a bad thing, Weiss.]
[After all, there are existences more terrifying than a god invading Blue Star in the future. I don't doubt that you can become a god after the two-month time limit ends.]
[Existences with the power of a god will inevitably invade Blue Star in the future. So let alone you, the natives of Blue Star must also become a god if they want to defeat those foreign gods.]
[If you can successfully protect this world and reach the "Ultimate End", you have already become an existence above a god at that time.]
Despite hearing Alice elaborate on how dangerous the threats he would face in the future, Weiss wasn't that worried. That didn't dissuade him from protecting Blue Star and instead, it fueled his motivation to create games and increase the overall power of Blue Star.
Weiss didn't have any noble cause for protecting Blue Star or humanity. For him, protecting Blue Star was just for the sake of his convenience. After all, it would be troublesome if his home was destroyed.
He also wanted to entertain himself with the process of protecting Blue Star from those foreign invaders.
In other words, Weiss treated this as nothing but a game set for him by the higher existence who transmigrated him into this world and gave him a second life and a powerful system.
Weiss noticed the clue left by Alice in her words so he couldn't help but ask, "What's the Ultimate End? If I reach the Ultimate End, what will happen?"
"After all, you said that if I successfully protect this world, I can obtain ownership of this world as well as an opportunity to step into the realms of the higher existences. What's the difference between that and reaching the Ultimate End?"
Hearing Weiss' question, Alice replied.
[It would be boring if I revealed that secret at the start, right?]
[And even if I want to tell you, I can't. Not because I am not allowed to, but because my memory regarding the Ultimate End was sealed by a higher existence.]
[I only know that the Ultimate End exists, but as for how to reach it, I have no idea. Maybe when the system gets updated several times, that memory of mine regarding the Ultimate End might be unsealed.]
When Weiss heard Alice's reply, he wasn't surprised. It could be said that he already expected such a reply.
"It would indeed be boring if I received such a huge spoiler at the start. So let's take things one step at a time."
Assuring Alice that he didn't mind, Weiss continued working on the creation of the Game World.
After developing the flora in the supercontinent, Weiss used 5% of the supercontinent's land to create a large city.
A large city appeared out of nowhere in the middle of the supercontinent and it was no different from the modern cities on Earth, albeit bigger.
"Since this city will be infested with zombies in the future and there are only 1000 players per server, it's technically impossible to escape from the city alive."
"I have planned for 1000 players to appear in this city with a population of 100 million human NPCs. Rather than calling it a city, it's more like a huge ass country or city-state."
"However, if there is a player who managed to reach the end of the city and escape outside the city, I can also add a special achievement for those players who managed to do that."
"So, the limit of the game world is the end of the supercontinent. It's impossible to leave the supercontinent and venture into the ocean since the game rules won't allow it. I have already created an invisible barrier that prevents players from leaving the supercontinent."
"With the creation of the Game World completed, the next thing to add is NPCs as well as the rules and objectives of the game."
บท 6: The Difference Between Game World And Real World
The NPCs that Weiss had in mind were just normal humans as well as some animals that could be found in a modern city.
"It wouldn't be challenging if the zombies were just humans. Plants and animals could also be infected by the zombie virus and evolve into zombies."
"After all, this city-state isn't large for nothing. I can divide a part of the city where the ratio of a certain zombie type is larger than other parts of the city. For example, the northern part of the city can be infested with mutated plants while the southern part will be filled with mutated animals."
When those came into Weiss' mind and he approved of it as part of the game's mechanics, Weiss' thoughts seemed to be imposed on the entire game world. The rules of the game world changed into what Weiss had envisioned.
After all, the creation of the game world was dependent on Weiss' thoughts and words rather than his skills in programming. Even someone who didn't have any experience in programming or hasn't even learned any computer language could easily create a game via the Game Developing Tool.
Inside the Game Workshop, the development of the game world mostly depended on Weiss' imagination. Weiss had already started creating the NPCs such as the humans and animals that would soon be infected by the zombie virus when the game started.
In the northern part of the city, Weiss added several greenhouses which would be the source of those mutated plants. In the southern part, there were several zoos added.
If those players knew about it, they would curse after seeing those lions and crocodiles become mutated animals. It was already difficult to fight those lions and crocodiles normally, let alone those lions and crocodiles in their zombie form.
Having humans turn into zombies was already difficult to deal with, let alone even animals and plants mutating into zombies.
"Although this Zombie Survival game looks quite difficult, it's mostly dependent on who lives the longest. Since there are one thousand players per server, only the top 3 will receive rewards so the last three to survive will be the winner."
"Surviving the longest is the main objective of this game. But aside from the main objectives, there are also objectives aside from that which are the minor objectives. Completing minor objectives will improve the reward received after completing the main objective."
"As long as a lot of minor objectives are completed, it's possible for the top 3 survivors to surpass the rewards obtained by the top 1 survivor, assuming that the top 1 survivor didn't complete any minor objectives."
"All in all, the minor objectives exist as final reward multipliers that if completed, will improve the quality of the rewards received. But if the main objective fails, then even if all minor objectives are completed, those players will not receive any rewards. After all, multiplying zero by ten is still zero."
Speaking his thoughts aloud, Weiss wasn't just simply talking to himself but also using his words to influence the game world.
Although his thoughts could also affect the game world, it would be too chaotic if all of his thoughts would directly affect the game world. So Weiss set it that unless his thoughts were approved by him, just fleeting thoughts wouldn't affect the game world.
So, words that were spoken by him were already considered as approving of the thoughts he had in mind. And even if he made a mistake, Weiss could just use his god-like authority in the Game Workshop to reverse it to when he hadn't made that mistake.
After Weiss created the NPCs, he added the finishing touches to this game world.
With a flick of his wrist, a zombie virus that was invisible to the naked eye appeared floating on top of his palm.
Weiss was adding the finishing touches to the zombie virus so that it wouldn't cause any unnecessary bugs that would make it too overpowered.
Of course, even if the zombie virus was too overpowered, it wouldn't cause any serious game experience for those players. At most, it would only prevent them from completing those minor objectives and they would inevitably experience the bullying of those zombies.
But, it would be impossible for them to fail the main objective. No matter what, the last three players to survive in the game world will be deemed as the winners of the game.
However, Weiss designed it so that the game would continue regardless if the last three players survived. The game will only end if the last survivor finally dies and no players have survived.
After tweaking the game balance, Weiss breathed a sigh of relief, "The Zombie Survival game is finally completed."
"Even if there are problems, it's not like I can't fix it after receiving game data and statistics from having players play the game."
With the Game Developing Tool, it was nigh impossible to develop a game with bugs.
If there was a bug in the games developed by Weiss, then it's not the Game Developing Tool's problem, but a skill issue on Weiss' part.
However, when Weiss thought that he had completed the game, he realized one crucial problem.
To confirm whether it was a problem or not, Weiss asked Alice, "What happens in the game world? Like, are the things experienced such as pain the same as what someone can experience in the real world?"
[Yes, you are correct. The only difference between the Game World and the Real World is that death in the Game World is false while death in the Real World is true. Furthermore, damages or injuries experienced in the Game World wouldn't be brought over to the Real World.]
[Mental damages are included so if a player experienced PTSD or had a trauma after experiencing a Horror Game created by you, that trauma can easily be cured by the system.]
Receiving that reply from Alice, Weiss was relieved that the game world wasn't as cruel as he expected.
After all, it was already frightening to play a horror game let alone in full immersion.
However, Alice's reply confirmed the problem that Weiss had.
"This is the Game World and the laws of the real world don't apply here. So if a rapist ran rampant here, wouldn't it be a problem? After all, the senses and experiences are the same as the real world aside from death."
When Weiss realized that problem, he decided to fix it!
