Chapter 1 - Monster! Monster!

The storm surged, and sword energy raged.

Engines roared, and gunfire rained down.

The old gods howled, and the abyss stared back.

From steam engines to internal combustion, mechanical civilization eventually emerged...

From primitive men to iron-blooded warriors, barbarian civilization eventually developed...

From a Qi cultivator's bitter training over a hundred thousand years, he finally achieved the rank of Immortal Emperor, unrivaled through the ages...

From forsaking humanity and plunging into the abyss, drinking poison and surviving countless near-deaths, he became terror incarnate...

This is everyone's era!

...

A winter night.

On the streets of Yan City, Lin Han looked up.

On the screen of a skyscraper, a string of text appeared — both familiar and unfamiliar.

Accompanied by an extremely flashy promotional CG.

He froze for a moment.

As a game planner, he was far too familiar with this exact copy!

Because... this was the rough draft he had written in his notepad!

He hadn't even submitted it to the lead designer yet!

A game planner is someone in a game development team responsible for gameplay, balance, levels, and story background.

What he mainly handled was the story background construction!

City design, character depth, worldbuilding and the like...

Lin Han examined the city.

It matched perfectly with the game design he had imagined in his mind!

"Wait!!" Lin Han suddenly thought of something, and began looking around. Everything in sight came straight from the designs in his mind. "Don't tell me I've transmigrated into the game I designed?"

Once he adapted, he slowly let out a breath.

He pinched his own face. He didn't wake up — looks like it wasn't a dream.

He really had transmigrated!

"Well, since I'm here, I might as well settle in. First, let's register a planet!"

This world was a highly developed one.

Here, an online game had been born — called Creator.

Anyone who entered their ID code could successfully register a planet and create a civilization.

Everyone is the creator god of their own planet — and the destroyer god of others'.

If you don't destroy someone else's civilization, someone will come destroy yours eventually.

Because you can't be sure whether they believe that you might destroy theirs!

Similarly, they don't know whether you believe they believe you might destroy theirs!

This is the chain of suspicion.

And the line is drawn when a civilization reaches the interstellar age!

So, the earlier you register, the earlier you develop, the better!

The registration process is also very simple.

Just pick up any electronic device, click on the Creator icon or ad, enter your ID code, and registration is completed in three seconds!

Lin Han took out his phone from his pocket.

Sure enough, after transmigrating, his phone now also showed an ad for Creator.

He clicked on the ad.

The main system detected a new user and automatically jumped to the registration screen.

[Please enter your identity code: ___________]

"Alright!"

Lin Han quickly entered his ID number, though he wasn't sure if it would work in this world.

After all,

These were two different worlds.

However,

His worry turned out to be unnecessary.

After clicking submit, the main system immediately responded with a big checkmark!

Registration successful!

After that,

The screen jumped to the login interface.

Lin Han re-entered his ID number and clicked login!

The next instant.

His figure turned into a stream of light, and his vision was flooded with brightness.

When he opened his eyes again...

In front of him was a blue planet.

[Welcome, Creator Lin Han. Current online users: 1,456,893,258…]

[Server time: 10 minutes 13 seconds]

"1.45 billion people online in just ten minutes!"

Although he didn't log into the game immediately, the server had only been open for ten minutes, so it wasn't a big deal!

[Creator Lin Han, ahead is your planet. Please name the civilization you are about to create…]

[Privilege account: At the start of the game, you have one lottery chance!]

"Privilege account? My ID number?"

Lin Han smiled with satisfaction. As expected of a game he had designed himself!

So thoughtful!

"Lottery!"

[Drawing…]

[Congratulations! You have obtained the unique item: Monster Civilization Keystone!]

"Holy crap!" Lin Han stared in shock at the prize that appeared before him. "It's actually this!"

In this game, each player starts with only one planet.

As the Creator, you cultivate a civilization starting from a single spore!

As everyone knows, the beginning is always the hardest!

The initial cultivation phase is often the most difficult, and a single early decision can influence the results tens of thousands of steps later!

A seemingly insignificant setup could even lead to… the sudden collapse of your civilization at its peak!

That's the most exciting aspect of this game, "Creator"!

The "Monster Civilization Keystone" that Lin Han just drew can directly avoid that risk!

Moreover… the greatest strength of a monster civilization lies in its incredible mutational traits!

Full of surprises, with endless possibilities!

[System notification: You have obtained a Civilization Keystone. Would you like to implant it into your planet?]

"Yes!"

Lin Han immediately chose yes.

The next instant.

The Monster Civilization Keystone before him plunged into the blue planet ahead, fusing with its core!

[System notification: Your civilization has been automatically named "Monster Civilization"!]

"Alright, time to descend onto the planet and officially begin the game!"

As a planner, he easily located the game's controls.

Then, he chose to descend to the planet.

His body was tugged, turned into a physical form, and appeared on the surface of the planet.

[Creator Lin Han, welcome to your territory. Would you like to activate the tutorial?]

"No need!"

"Open the attribute panel!"

Lin Han glanced at the attribute panel. It was exactly as he remembered.

He then said:
