『Wake up』

I felt tired, broken, pained… who am I?

『Wake up Ace』

Ace? This name is familiar.

『Awaken now!』

Crack, the light surrounding me began to crack, memories flooded my head, I held my head as the pain was too intense. Minutes passed and I finally could breathe well, "Huu, where am I?"

Standing from my place, I noticed that instead of darkness or light, the surrounding was dark purple.

『Hello Ace』

An eye appeared in the middle of this place, next to me. Calming myself down from the shock, I looked at the eye, "Hello?" Confused about who was talking to me.

『You have successfully passed the trial of pain, impressive』

"Trial of suffering? I just wanted to upgrade the system…" remembering what I went through, I felt covered in cold sweat.

The pupils on the eye began moving fast all sides before going back to the last position, 『Ace, You will have to go through several things as a guild master, one of them is pain』

"Who are you?" Confused on how it knew what I went through, I wanted to know who this being was, where am I?

『I am Anima, the 4th faction god』

Hmm, "Tell me about this war, I need information…" I asked with a raised brow.

『This is between the light and dark, we are the fourth party being affected by it. Trinity is behind the scene triggering all types of mysterious events while we are trying to help the innocent survive...Today we have only 18 guild masters left compared to before.』The eye had veins appearing as it explained the events.

Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.

"Why didn't you allow everyone to have the system instead of talking to them," I asked with a squinted eyes.

『The resources won't allow me, each system is created through millions of rare resources』

Sigh, "What if I created it, if you watched me closely you would have noticed that my skills break the balance of the world"

『You can try but it won't be as perfect as the one you have, another problem is the enemies obtaining it』

I smiled, I was waiting for that question, "Let them obtain it, I will set up a hidden mechanism where even if they obtain it through buying my people, there will be fewer benefits for them and…" Stopping my fingers began moving as my smile got wider.

『And?』The pupils looked straight at me.

"And we gain all kinds of information about them, their secrets, weaknesses, resources, power and much more…" Reminds me of the old days when I tricked several game companies into using my codes to prevent my hacks but in return, I got everything about them.

『How long will it take to create it?』Anima was startled and interested in it.

"First, I need to modify the cards, the only way to get the system is through the guild after they get the card, they will see the system. We are talking about millions of those cards, the best thing to do is to create a large space where there will be several types of systems, the beginner who just starts will gain a beginner system… with points, they can upgrade and with gold, they can obtain more benefits"

『How do we prevent theft of the system?』

"We don't, those that betray the guild, won't be caught and he will give information to the enemy but there will be consequences as all the systems will be monitored by thousands of my creations or by you" I looked at Anima with a smile.

『Simple, what next? What are the consequences?』

"When they work hard, instead of gaining 100% of the experience, attributes increase, rewards… they will gain 1% of it." My smile got wider, "As for the 99% of it, the loyal people will gain a percentage of it" My previous habit is coming back. "For those that try to copy the system, we will take 99.9% of their efforts through the back door mechanism I will install on it, let them all fight, we will benefit from it"

『...』

"So, tell me what kind of upgrade did I get?" Skipping the system topic, I sat by raising both my legs and floated.

『Revamp of your attributes, Title, Health bar and rage bar』

"Eh, ok… Anything else I should do when on earth before the invasion?" I asked while I was floating sideways.

『Learn Medicine, once you master it a pillar will appear for free』

"What is this pillar?" I saw it but didn't bother looking at it.

『Class statues, each pillar will generate a class for your people』

My interest was piqued. "Ok, will I create the system in my world and keep it there or will you create a place for me to place it in?"

『Your world, begone now』Anima looked tired haha!

"Bye," I was pulled from the purple space into my office, standing in the same spot I used to be at.
