"Hm, okay, doesn't look too complicated. I think I understand, so when will the Jackrixis get skills?"-Jack

[]You will gain quests that will give them skills, or you can earn them through the wave system[]

"Wait, what's that?"-Jack

[]It will be after the 100 years and every 10 years a wave of beasts will attack in large groups and on the 10th wave if you survive you will gain a skill[]

"Let's hope it's worth it then since my race will have to survive for 100 years without my help, and then they only have 10 to prepare for the wave"-Jack

"At least they'll have my skills, right?"-Jack

[]No Jack, as they will have no help from their creator during the 100 years to see how well they can do in the wild so they won't have access to your candidate skills[]

"Well, I'm not going to be very comfortable for a while, am I?"-Jack

As Jack was waiting for something to happen, the front of his space opened, and a planet came into view the same size as Earth.

[]Well done in getting here candidates without any major issues. I hope you will all give us a great game and make your planet proud[]

[]Now, before the game begins, you have been advised that the first 100-year period will be you watching your race. As they get used to the planet see if they learn, adapt, survive, or thrive without your immediate help. Good luck, candidates[]

At once, all of their created races were put into Lundum Mundi everyone getting 12 to start with. The candidates had access to different viewpoints like a video game with close-ups, wide shots, overhead shots, and more also being able to focus on a single creature or a group.

Jack watched as 12 Jackrixis had been placed, which was a mix of 3 biomes, a large desert that expanded endlessly. A large jungle sprawled across the land opposite the desert with some massive plains separating the two harsher environments from each other.

"Hah, this is happening. Alright, it seems like an okay starting area. I mean, three options are good if they don't like one. Or competition is too fierce and it also gives them lots of different resources. I just hope they're gonna be okay. I mean, they aren't strong since I planned for the long game and with the weakness given by the system for its help. They will have some tough times. I can only hope that in the next 100 years-"-Jack

"Wait, I'm going to be sitting here for 100 years!?"-Jack

[]Negative host time will be manipulated when needed if there's a lull in entertainment, so if it's boring. You could only be here for a week the longest being 1 month since we can't be waiting too long[]

"Oh, so wait, what happens to the others if they only take a week and another takes a month?"-Jack

[]There is time dilation used, so the 100-year period ends at the same time, nothing to worry about[]

Overall, the first day wasn't that bad. The Jackrixis explored while eating a bit of everything, somehow not getting sick. They ran from each other once or twice, but no fights had started.

None died, and considering the conditions were very good, all they had to do was get past the 20 years, and the weakness would be gone.

One example would be a large brute rixis who had large arms easily capable of smashing a human's skull or even a tree. But sadly, he was too busy chasing his own shadow or licking said trees it was not a glorious beginning to the world.

There was something unique. A light blue-skinned Jackrixis was in a stream about 6 feet deep trying to blend in with the water, whilst also struggling to breathe since it couldn't do that underwater.

But you could say that the female succeeded as she managed to catch two fish using her mouth. The fangs used for intimidation could also be used as almost mini spears, though barely since they didn't protrude out the mouth enough to be better than using normal teeth with them.

Still, she succeeded and wouldn't go hungry or thirsty for today and seemed to be doing the best out of them all so far. While there were no deaths, many injuries still occurred scrapes and bumps covered every Jackrixis more some than others.

Jack even watched a young male rixis chase after a small lizard and managed to capture and eat it. Another young female was near, but when she tried to get closer, he ran away.

As the sun came to set the Jackrixis, used different hiding places, some digging holes, others claiming trees, some even lay on the ground in the open, but couldn't sleep well and were wide awake through the night.

"So what do I do now it's turning night?"-Jack

[]Well, you can rest, and if anything happens, I will awaken you[]

"Nice. I can't remember the last time I had some sleep, see ya in a bit system"-Jack

[]Good night host[]

Time continues, and soon it's day again.

[]It is time to awaken host and watch your race[]

"Hmm..oh, I'm still here. Okay, anything happened?"-Jack

[]Negative host, nothing happened it seems most creatures in the area do not want to fight the Jackrixis. Possibly because they don't know what they can do, but they will push them soon enough[]

Jack got up from the floor that he was surprised he slept on since it wasn't that comfortable and looked down at the area of the Jackrixis.

A few hours passed, and nothing happened of value, so Jack could understand the time dilation now. But he felt deep in his heart something was coming.

Jack looked at the blue Jackrixis and was not surprised to see she was in the stream and was holding on to the side. Spread out to not fall in only being 5,8, but her sharp claws dug into the mud and rock.

[]If I'm not wrong, sir, she may be trying to lay a better trap since the fish can obviously see her and move past her quickly.[]

"Well, she only caught the other ones by luck, but I'm glad I have someone to route for"-Jack

Jack then changed to the brute Jackrixis, who was facing some sort of bull with green wool and brown horns with brown eyes.

They were just staring at each other at the moment as both stood perfectly, still not moving a muscle. Until the brute charged the thing. They fought, and neither won getting bruises and scratches for nothing and left them vulnerable, which is what led to the brute's untimely death.

Jack quickly checked once he got the message of one of his races dying, but he had been watching another Jackrixis. When he saw the brute, his arms had bites and deep claw marks on them, and its head and chest were currently being feasted on by what looked like very large sabertooth tigers. They had purple and black fur and red eyes and a mouth full of blue razor-sharp teeth and fangs chewing on the brute.

"Man, that's disgusting. I mean yeah brute had some problems, but he didn't deserve this. I'm sure he would have wanted to die fighting, not being ambushed after just fighting something else. I just hope that when the tribe forms, they will bury brutes bones and slay the sabre tooth and use their pelts to keep the children warm at night." Jack

Jack didn't know why he had this reaction, but maybe because he felt they were his creation or, in a way, his children. Seeing them die not being able to use their possible potential or die fighting at their best.

Jack then went to check on the others and found that the lizard boy was hunting again, but this time, it was a rabbit with orange fur and frog feet. As usual, bumps and scrapes until finally captured and devoured, but a strange thing happens again a girl Jackrixis comes near him.

He couldn't tell if it was the same enemy as last time, so he again bolted, leaving some of the organs of said rabbit on the floor. She came near the leftovers and began eating them quickly before looking at where the boy went, then ran back to a hole she made under a tree. This was her little hole full of bugs and fungus, among other things under the tree.

Maybe if she could speak to him, she and him could live together and help each other, and a plan was forming in the mind of a young, clever girl.

"Well, that's twice now. The 3rds gotta be good, or this will take 50 years. I just want them to be together for safety"-Jack

[]Beside the death of 1 Jackrixis host, all the others have managed to explore more and stay well-fed. All things look optimal[]

"Ok, I'm going to sleep. There's nothing I can do but watch, so tell me if anything happens"-Jack

[]Ok host[]
