Chapter 1: The Sealed Land!
"I want to create a game."
"What game?"
"A completely realistic game."
"You’re amazing."
"I know this game, it’s called Earth Online."
"Wow."
"That’s a game so realistic it’s trash."
"So, do you want to write a DLC for Earth Online?"
"Hahaha!"
Facing colleagues’ teasing, Chen Ye acted indifferent, only leaving his desk after casually typing a resignation letter.
"It’s time to end this boring simulation game of life."
"System, begin."
Ding!
[Creation God system binding successful]
[Please read the following instructions for use]
1. The system can provide a space for you to create a game world, but the linking device needed for entering this realm must be created by the host using your own points.
2. In the game world, you can decide all the rules and even choose to make things and laws from the real world.
3. By spending points, you can bring any item or rule from the game world into reality. The number of points required depends on the item.
4. Points can only be obtained while playing online, and one point is earned for every hour of play.
5. Once you have enough points, you can activate the arrival mode.
Make this game come to life in reality!
7. After the arrival…
After reading through nearly a hundred instructions, Chen Ye couldn’t help but smile mysteriously.
"It only takes a few steps to go from a player to a developer, just one system is enough. Starting today, I am the sole planner of Earth Online."
"Let me give this DLC for free to all players on Earth."
Chen Ye said and closed his eyes directly.
In the next moment, he appeared in a pitch-black space.
There was nothing here, no light or substance, only endless darkness and silence.
"Is this the game space?"
As the system described.
Chen Ye can freely create anything he wants and establish rules here.
From the universe to the evolution of species, the birth of life.
Even artificial gods!
As a laborer, Chen Ye appears to be in his twenties, but he is actually over fifty years old.
This is not because he looks young forever, but because he is a time traveler.
He traveled to a parallel world where, except for some cultural changes, there were almost no differences from his original world.
Chen Ye lived in this world for 24 years.
In this new life, he didn’t achieve any earth-shattering accomplishments, nor did he have an easy time like other time travelers in stories.
Instead, his life was full of hardships.
Luckily, the system was just late, not absent.
"Twenty-four years, you really made me wait a long time."
"System, world construction."
This world was slightly different from his past life, mainly in various cultural aspects.
For example, the myths, games, movies, and novels in this world were not as rich and colorful as those in his previous life.
This was a good thing for Chen Ye.
Because he could directly use various settings from his previous life in the game.
Anyway, nobody knows.
Even if he changed Fenrir into the weakest watchdog, turned Hades into the god of toilets, and transformed Zeus into a woman, what difference would it make?
Since he was standing on the shoulders of giants, Chen Ye decided to borrow a saying from his past life.
Bad news, our game is a patchwork monster.
Good news, we’ve sewn up everything that could be sewn.
With this idea in mind, Chen Ye created a continent and an ocean with just a thought!
Following that, he built the entire planet!
Yes, Chen Ye planned to directly duplicate the entire Earth as a game map!
"Next, we need light."
"Duplicate the sun and the moon."
As the words fell, two huge spheres suddenly appeared in the pitch-black space, directly illuminating the whole world!
"System, fix the orbits of the three planets, copy all the parameters from reality for me."
"You sort out any bugs yourself."
Chen Ye doesn’t bother with the other details, he just focuses on the main idea and leaves the rest to the system.
After that, the sky had the sun and the moon, as well as light and four seasons.
Chen Ye turned into a shadow and landed directly on one of the continents, "Merge three of the continents together, and wipe out the rest."
Chen Ye waved his hand and instantly melded the three nearest continents together, while the rest of the continents disappeared one after another.
The framework is set up, now all that’s left is filling in the blanks.
As for how to fill them in…
To be honest.
Chen Ye was too lazy to create a traditional RPG game, finding it bothersome, cliché, and not worth the effort.
So, in order to cut corners…
Well, in order to enhance the game’s appeal, Chen Ye came up with a simpler solution.
That is to create a tower-climbing game!
Build a Tower of Seals, where all bosses and monsters are sealed within.
Then the story’s setting is that in this land, there used to be many gods and monsters roaming, but they were all eventually sealed by ancient human sages into the Tower of Seals.
It’s a simple story, no beating around the bush, let’s get straight to the point.
Let players focus on going into the tower to defeat monsters, everything else doesn’t need to be worried about.
And every time a boss in the Tower of Seals is defeated by players, a part of the sealed power in this world will be released.
At the same time, the area where players can move around outside the tower will also expand.
Simply put, the game’s boundaries will keep expanding as players progress.
Different power systems will gradually appear as players defeat bosses.
This way, Chen Ye doesn’t need to create all the content from the start.
He just needs to create bosses for the first few levels of the Tower of Seals to launch the closed beta!
The plan is set, let’s start!
"System, begin building!"
"The game will be called The Sealed Land!"
。。。
One month later.
Inside a rented house.
Chen Ye, who quit his job, put all his energy into making the game with his savings of eighty thousand.
After a month, he and the system had polished almost all the details and mechanics of the game.
It was almost time to start the closed beta.
The system gave Chen Ye a game website and offered a free linking device delivery service.
That saved Chen Ye a lot of effort.
But now there is a problem – the system only gave Chen Ye 100 points to start with.
Right now, with only 100 points, there’s no point in thinking because he can only use them to create a linking device.
Chen Ye calculated that he would need over 160 points if he wanted to build a game warehouse and transfer it to reality…
Even if he reduces the features and size, he can’t get the cost below 100 points.
However, if he builds a head-worn linker, he only needs 10 points to create one.
So, the game warehouse is definitely out of the choices for now.
"Even if I can only make 10 headsets, if these ten players can play online for twelve hours a day."
"Then I can make a profit in just one day, and then I can buy more devices, keep expanding, and soon make the linking device popular in the country!"
