Qi Yang, a gaming streamer, accidentally downloaded a magical full-dive game.
The game offered a map of an entire unknown continent, a vast world with plenty to explore, and even let him adjust the passage of time as he pleased. Unfortunately, its features were extremely limited: there was no friends list, no walkthroughs, and the only use of the in-game System was to open a full-screen quest menu for Qi Yang to complete at will.
At will.
The quests were divided into different series, with no time limits or required order. Qi Yang could activate whichever one he wanted, but every series made him catch his breath.
Quest: God of Light series. The player must gather the faith of the Winged Folk within the time limit and ascend to godhood.
Quest: God of the Abyss series. The player must conquer the blight of the Abyss within the time limit and ascend to godhood.
Quest: God of Nature series. The player must cultivate the Tree of Life within the time limit and ascend to godhood.
God of War, God of Love, Gnome God... Every quest was designed to make him claim a divine domain. At first, Qi Yang treated it like a city-building game and rubbed his hands together eagerly.
How hard could it be to develop a continent and become a god? Let's do this!
What he didn't know was that while he was playing the game, his livestream had exploded.
When Qi Yang finished the game and climbed out of the gaming pod, he found a crowd of incredible...species gathered outside his door.
Several leaders of different races, who usually held court in their own royal halls, bowed to him in unison.
Wait, wait, wait. I only played a game, so why are all of you worshipping me as a god?
Warnings: 1. Set in an interstellar future.
2. A feel-good power fantasy with an enormous protagonist aura.
3. A touch of everyone-falls-for-the-protagonist.
Theme: Strive to rise.
