I Became a Creator God After Making a Game

[This is my first time writing a Fourth Disaster story, and I’m not quite sure I’ve got the hang of it, so I don’t really recommend reading it]

Q: What’s it like to create a world from scratch?

A: Thanks for asking. I found a bunch of free labor.

They cleared the maps, made up the legends, and built the cities, too.

Then they praised the “game” for its amazing immersion and realistic NPC interactions, calling it the gold standard of full-dive gaming. It feels ridiculously good.

Not long after graduating from college, special effects artist Ji Wushi unexpectedly inherited a newly born world and became its one and only god.

At the time, land and sea had yet to be divided, space was utterly barren, and only plankton drifted between heaven and earth.

It was a blank canvas, waiting for him to paint it.

So towering mountains rose from the earth, great rivers surged and roared, and he created every law of nature, from swords and roses to poetry and magic.

"The Post-Creation Chronicle" records that in the early days of civilization, the intelligent races faced a calamity they could not resist. Mutated natural life and rampaging magical beasts nearly destroyed the world.

At that moment, the Creator sent his chosen ones down to the mortal realm.

Immortal and fearless, they pressed onward, leading the races they represented to greatness and glory. Thus began an age of prosperity

The players, summoned without knowing a thing: Hehe, "Genesis" is so much fun! I could play for a billion years! Official, please add more paid items! I strongly recommend lifting the purchase limit on resurrection potions! Listen to what your players want!!!

Reader’s note:

1. My take on the Fourth Disaster genre, with no secret-identity reveal.

2. Silly, feel-good wish fulfillment with a slow start.

3. Since this is a Fourth Disaster story, there are inevitably a lot of player-perspective chapters. A few players will get more in-depth storylines, so proceed with caution if that’s not your thing.

[You can skip the “Cosmic Currents” arc and read “The Star Remains Descend” instead. The main plot comes together later. Aside from the Fourth Disaster game, the protagonist will also make other types of games.]

4. Here’s a preview of my next story.

My next novel is a no-romance story, "I Became a God After Reincarnating into a Western Fantasy RPG". Check out the synopsis in my author’s collection, or read it below↓

Nok Lan: 6

Who starts out on Hell Mode? Oh, me. Well, never mind, then.

After transmigrating, Nok Lan got stuck with a useless System that kept reminding him his life was hanging by a thread.

But as a player, difficulty was the one thing Nok Lan feared least.

In the eyes of his academy classmates, he was the ultimate overachiever. He never missed an elective or required class in magic or swordsmanship, could brew potions and forge weapons with ease, and led the entire academy by a mile in grades and credits. He was the one person no one else could hope to surpass.

Nok Lan: Not really. I’m just grinding stat points.

In the eyes of his mercenary teammates, he was the king of adventurers. He charged fearlessly into cliffs, caves, and underwater ruins, excelled at riddles and mysteries, and could recite ancient spells and languages at the drop of a hat. He was a one-of-a-kind oddity among adventurers.

Nok Lan: Not really. I’m just grinding achievements.

In the hearts of the people of the continent of Dier, he was a fearless hero. When rebels attacked a city, he was on the front line. When magical beasts ran amok, he was on the front line. When the undead invaded, he was on the front line. Oh, heavens! He was practically a god in human form!

Nok Lan: Not really. I’m just grinding monsters to level up.

Damn it, how can I make these ignorant people from another world understand that I, Nok Lan, am just an ordinary player?

[Bonus scene]

Today, the evil god of the abyss revived. It devoured its followers, destroyed the church, and roared in a frenzy like a wild beast.

Then a boy as lovely as a blood-red rose cradled its twisted, malicious face and gazed into its adoring, slit-pupil eyes.

“Do you love me?” The boy’s words were like an unfathomable darkness, drawing the god into its depths.

Then he laughed with delight, and the most wicked words in the world spilled from his lips: “Then die for me.”

[Ding.]

[Congratulations, player! You have slain the evil god and unlocked the achievement,]

[“The Abyssal Evil God’s Death, Proclaimed for Love.”]
