"Where am I?" It was the first thing he said when he appeared in the void. He saw nothing. Blackness pervaded his surroundings.

"Oh, I remember. I was hit by a truck." He sighed as he remembered the way that he died. It was abrupt, but he laughed because he didn't reincarnate to another world.

He waited for an unknown amount of time and was bored to death, so he contemplated, "My body should be dead already, right? Is this afterlife? Why is it so empty? Have I been sinful and good at the same time so I was thrown into Limbo because the gods can't decide where to put me?

Matthias wondered as his soul wandered in the void. After a time that felt like decades or centuries, a voice suddenly startled him.

"Loading…"

"Adapting to the host's knowledge."

"Integrating."

"Welcome to the Creation System, Host."

A female voice spoke to Matthias emotionlessly.

"What?" Matthias was dumbfounded.

"You could call me Shyra, Host." The female voice spoke once more.

"Shyra?! Why that name?!" Matthias hissed.

"I integrated your existing knowledge towards me. I adapted a form that is most suitable for your use to assist you with the built-in system in you." Shyra said.

Before he could even speak, Shyra said, "I adapted my form from the system that you know so that you could use me more efficiently."

"System? As in the system of the novels?" Matthias' eyes glowed even though his soul has no eyes.

"As per your knowledge, yes."

"Amazing!" Matthias joyfully chirped, "So, what does it do?" He inquired."The Creation System is for you to create your own world. If you achieve a certain goal which I will explain if you're near it's completion, you can reincarnate to your old world and continue your life."

"Then, what are we waiting for? Let's start!" As Matthias said that, a blue panel filled with genes appeared in front of him.

"This is the panel which you will use to create your world. You could use a scientific approach or mythological approach to create your world."

"I'm not proficient in science, so let's go to the mythological one."

When he said that, his mind was flooded with knowledge. The panel also became a key and integrated with his mind.

After a while of contemplation, Matthias moved, "If I want to create a world, I shall start with the base."

Matthias waved his hand and with it, the Sun and Moon and Stars appeared to enlighten the land.

He waved it once more and there appeared a land of soil and stone that stretched boundlessly.

He manifested the key and pointed it towards the soil, and from the key, cascaded endless amounts of water which flooded the land.

He raised his hand and from the bottom of the ocean, the land that was once flooded shook and huge chunks of it rose, forming islands and continents.

When he realized what he had just done inside the void that turned into a world filled with colors blue and brown, he was dumbfounded.

What he saw was a continent in the middle of the world that stretched far and wide, and a humongous ocean surrounding it.

"Wow. This is beautiful. But it will be more so if there are plants and trees and living creatures!" Matthias looked at the distant horizon and grumbled as he looked at the barren land.

"The Void inside the Creation System has been around this world since its making. Without anything inside the void to sustain it with power, the only source of energy that the System got was from the Celestial Bodies' Energy and Earth's Energy and was stored inside for eons." Shyra replied as she materialized into a small girl with pigtails.

"Can I use those stored energy to create?" Matthias looked at Shyra with expectant eyes.

"Yes. We once had 14.5 million. But when you created the world, now we currently have 12.5 million Creation Points(CP) that you can use to buy things in the shop." Shyra nodded.

"There's a shop?!" Matthias dumbfoundedly stared at Shyra."Yes. Manifest the Blue Key from your mind and think of the Shop."

Matthias did as he was told and the Blue Key appeared. It transformed into its original form of a blue panel and there appeared a Shop with a lot of items.

"There are plants, animals, half-sentient, sentient beings, high beings, and Custom? What does Custom do?" He asked.

"If you want to create a life form, you can go to custom."

"Nah. I'll do it next time." Matthias shrugged and picked the plant section.

There were a lot of plants there ranging from normal grass to divine trees.

Matthias' eyes shone as he looked at a certain divine tree.

"The Tree of Life? I'll need that in my land. And it's.." Matthias nodded and looked at the price, "Heck, it's quite a large chunk of my CP!"historical

Matthias hesitated and later on decided, "Here goes nothing." He clicked at the Icon and purchased the Tree of Life.

A seed that's the size of a football appeared on his hand. The numbers at the corner of the panel go from 12.5 million down to 12 million.

"Where would you want to plant the Tree of Life?" She asked.

Matthias contemplated and nodded as if he had already decided and, from above the world, he landed in the middle of the continent, and planted the football-sized seed.

He once again flew and viewed the world from above. "How long will this take?"

"It will take exactly 77,777 years for it to fully mature." Shyra emotionlessly answered.

"I need to wait that long?!" Matthias grimaced.

"You could speed up the time by paying 4 million Creation Points to unlock the function."

"I'll pay!" He quickly answered then, the panel changed with another icon being added at the bottom left with a watch symbol.

"Speed up!" Matthias said as he pressed the icon, and what happened next amazed him.

As soon as he said that, the land soon developed fast. The seed punctured the soil and a baby tree rose and became so tall that it reached the skies in just 7 minutes.

The surrounding also became green as different types of grass, herb, flowers, and trees extended from the tree outward.

"This beautiful world, my masterpiece. I shall call this the World of Alphan."
