'Wake up, Applicant # 100900. Your body is now stabilized.'

Archer Griffins opened his eyes and the first thing he saw was the blue ceiling adorned with a flat lamp on its center. "Where...where am I? Did I hear someone calling me?"

He checked his surroundings; the walls and the ceiling were painted in blue. Judging by how soft the surface felt, he suspected that he was currently lying in bed, and he was right. A small bed good for a single occupant. He scanned around; a freezer on the left, a TV with a PC on the right, and several cupboards at the bottom of each shelf. "Neat room. Just like how it was on Earth."

Archer clenched his fists as tight as he could and his eyes brightened up. "Looks like my strength is back. Does it mean that God Essences inside my body was totally replenished?" Gathering his strength, he moved out of his bed and muttered, "Now, I can finally see the world that I've created. I'm very excited to journey outside. But first things, first. Call, God System."

A familiar mechanical voice filled his mind. "Welcome to Goplamae, Archer Griffins. Congratulations on your success and you are on your way to your success. I hope that you can fully master your world and help boost its world ranking to the fullest to graduate with flying colors. Due to your condition, being Dinepsic, I will now activate the Built-in System the Planetary Hall created inside you, to assist you in utilizing your God Essence to the fullest. The navigation within the system page is easy, just use your mental strength."

At once, a warm feeling enveloped Archer's body, which almost elicited a moan from his mouth. This went on for about five minutes before everything went to normal. This time, he saw a screen which he suspected to be invisible from the outsiders, displaying a simple home page with a plain blue background. At the topmost part was the word 'Goplamae' and right below it was four tabs: Status Screen, School Missions, Creation, and Maps. The rest was empty.

Curious, he chose the Status Screen via his mental strength and several lines appeared right at the blank area.

"Interesting stuff. With an indestructible body, I can now walk on sideways like a crab, eh. I hope my strength is Godlike as well so I can easily do what I need to do." Archer proceeded to tinker with the page, this time on the School Missions tab.

Reward: Dinepsia Pill (courtesy of Planetary Hall)

"Hah! Does the God System want to advertise the Planetary Hall that much?" Archer mused over the quests that he saw and weighed the options he had to plan things ahead. "I want immediate gains that can affect everything I do, so the Dinepsia Pill is a must-have for me. And it would be easier for me to attract the attention of these powerful organizations if I can show them my strength, whatever it is. So, it's Side Quest 1 and 3 on my priority list."

To his dismay, the Maps tab was empty, which made a lot of sense since he had not yet taken any step to venture outside. But what attracted his attention was the Exploration Level.

Maps

Exploration Level: 0% (Improves your World Ranking)

Note: Every percent increases your bond with the World Core. This also stimulates the God Essence inside of you, which makes you stronger while you are within Goplamae. Automatically updates every time you visit new places (Courtesy of Planetary Hall).

"I need to investigate the nook and corners of Goplamae to reach a hundred percent. Traveling...that's it. I will become a wandering Bard, a mysterious entity showering the inhabitants with goodwill." Archer laughed eerily as he mumbled, thinking about wonderful stories to tell since Powerleveling was boring. It was a fact that he was very lazy so he needed fun things to spice up his enthusiasm. "Now my mind is set, the only thing left for me to investigate is the Creations tab."

Creations You can strengthen your bond with the World Core by using up your God Essence from time to time, thereby spreading your God Essence throughout Goplamae.

Artifact: The power of smithing. Turn any ordinary object into Divine Artifacts by filling it up with your God Essence. The higher the God essence used up, the powerful it becomes. Can use weapons, armors, materials

Medicine: The power of alchemy. Turn any normal pills and food into Holy Medicines by infusing your God Essence. The higher the God essence used up, the powerful it becomes. It can have random effects.

Creature: The power of summons. Turn any Goplamae inhabitants into Divine Beings. It can't be controlled but has a higher affinity towards you. It can have random skills.

God Essence: 5 (Healthy Godling have at least 50 God Essence inside the body. Measured by the Essence Detector, courtesy of the Planetary Hall)

"God System, do you know anything about Goplamae? Like who are the leaders and how the power ratings go?"

'Sorry. I am programmed to only aid you with the installation of the Built-in system created by the Planetary Hall. As for the rest, it is up to you.'

"Fine, thanks. Anyway, can you do me a favor?"

'What is it?'

"Can you tell Manda that I'm fine and everything is going well?"

'Sure. Any last words before I leave? This will be the last time I will contact you. The next time we'll talk, it will be when your world will be tested if it fits to become a stand-alone or be regarded as reject and be demolished into oblivion.'

"Now, that's cruel. I'll make sure that it does not happen; I will not let my beloved Goplamae be destroyed."

'Okay. Whatever. Goodbye. I hope you don't cry in the end.'

"Attitude!" Archer shook his head and investigated the nook and corners of the house. The current house was eerily similar to his house back on Earth. He wondered if the God System read it up inside his memory because if that was the case, then his past life was already an open book to the Planetary Hall. One thing for sure, he was ecstatic that his cupboards were always filled with food he loved. As long as he stayed here, he did not have to worry about things to fill his stomach. He went to the kitchen and started cooking.

Time passed by but Archer was busier than ever. Even though he was lazy, time would not stop for him and he needed every bit of it to increase the World Ranking. Like right now, he was sitting on his bed, his eyes fixed on the Creations Tab.

He wanted to become a wandering bard, so he needed to create anything that could aid him on his journey. The System did not explain how fast his God Essence would be replenished, whether if it is a daily replenishment or dependent on his Vitals. It needed an investigation but he wanted his first attempt to be meaningful. He searched inside the house and the best thing that he could find that could create some noise was two sticks. With these, he sat on his bed and activated the system.

infuse your God Essence with Two Sticks? (Yes) or (No)

Archer did not hesitate and press the yes button. A sudden rush of waves left his body, and he became weak. Luckily, he was on his bed right now, so he did not feel any pain when his body went limp. The two sticks were hovering in the air, enveloped within the God Essence. The next thing he knew, he passed out.
