The construction drone became conscious once more.
You have hibernated for 2 days and 6 hours. You have gained 54 Balance.
You have automated for 2 days and 6 hours. You have gained 54 Balance.
It yawned at the panels lazily, dismissing them with an absent mind.
Closing it's eyes to process information and thoughts, it decided to finish the last pillar.
It entered the famillar space once more, the drone flew over to the lonely tower, the word 'Space' shining brighter and brighter as it got closer to it.
The drone finally touched the word on the pillar and the entire space grew, the world spun around as the surroundings seemed to bend and expand endlessly.
Then particles started to come together, bonds were created and shapes were formed. Dust filled the air and they rapidly condensed and compressed, creating rocks and pebbles.
They too formed together to become planets and stars, quickly filling the entire space, the drone watched it all happen, yawning boredly.
The process finally stopped and this time, the space didn't collapse, making the drone confused.
Then a panel appeared to explain what happened.
You have completed the Progression Of Space. Virtual Space created.
It stared at the panel for a moment, before curiously calling up the information.
Progression Of Space
Progress 1/1 Status Completed Effects Create a Virtual Space. Completion Bonus +10% Progression speed while in a Virtual Space.
Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.
What?
The drone creaked at the text, even more Progression speed?! You've got to be lying, is it this common to be able to complete Progressions in half the time it normally required?
It felt it's processing unit heating up greatly and closed it's eyes, regulating the process, the drone shut down a third of it's processing power and closed off any thoughts about the incident.
It sighed and thought about Progressions, prompting a panel.
User Progressions
Active Progressions
Halted Progressions
Completed Progressions
Progession Of Hibernation Progression Of Automation Progression Of Basics Progression Of Space
The drone smiled, all the Progressions are completed, time for it to sleep, it rested on a planet, and shut itself down.
...
On the very same planet, many years have passed by, the world became habitable and plants grew and evolved, animals appeared and later humans.
But it doesn't have anything to do with the drone, it simply slept, not minding the changes that was happening to it's surroundings...
For now.

"Hehe! You will never catch me!" A young girl laughed cheekily and taunted her brother while running away to the woods.
"Xenia! Get back here! It's not safe out there!" The boy, filled with concern, called out to her.
"Hmph! I can take care of myself!" She glared at him, and then stopped apruptly as his face paled suddenly.
"Big brother? What's wrong?" She asked stared at him, confused.
"S-Sis! Behind you! Look behind you!" The terrified boy cried out in terror, pointing at something behind her.
"What? You think I'll fall for the same trick twice? I'm not that-" She retorted and turned to look behind her, only to find her face pale just like the boy.
"-stupid..." Her eyes widened and her heart beated rapidly, her entire body froze while staring at the thing before her.
Her mouth opened and closed but no sound came out, the thing then turned to look at her, widening it's eyes that was emitting light.
It opened it's mouth and let out a sound, her ears strained, she shivered and felt like her spine was trying to rip itself out of her body and run away.
The thing's mouth closed for a moment, before opening again and spoke.
"Hello?"
