The First System Architect [Interstellar]

In the year 4362 of the interstellar era, with the entertainment industry lacking and the public's imagination in serious decline, the Federation government introduced an entirely new profession to the masses: System Architect. As the name suggests, a System Architect builds little worlds with minds of their own inside a virtual space. Of course, several years ago, the profession's ancestors went by another name: VR games. After the System Architect profession was introduced, it received little response. The Federation government racked its brains and launched all kinds of competitions, but instead of attracting the public's attention, they drew in someone completely unexpected. Xu Wu transmigrated and got a second chance at life, becoming a tiny baby who was the apple of the Empire's eye. When she heard that the rival Federation was holding a System Architect competition, Xu Wu secretly slipped in despite a crowd of ministers trying to stop her, and used her solid skills to make a name for herself. Except... She was sabotaged in the finals. The pioneer of the AR field, now the Empire's Crown Prince, Xu Wu: Hello? Are you trying to tell me what to do? [Shock! Rising star 'Huaxia' is actually the Empire's child!] [Xu Wu pioneers new System Architect principles, leaving Federation experts in awe of her talent.] [Xu Wu develops a new System feature to train military forces in virtual worlds, bringing a breakthrough in the Empire's military strength.] One message after another came from the Empire, making the Federation public, who had once been mere spectators, anxious beyond belief. They all passed the pressure on to the Federation's God of War, Wen Zhi. Wen Zhi: ...? Wen Zhi: All right, got it. The next day, StarNet was abuzz with rumors that Wen Zhi had defected. A genius, chatty girl System Architect and a cool, aloof mecha God of War. You fight the enemy on the battlefield, while I protect you in the world of the mind. Academy setting + leveling up.
