After scrutinizing the Creature Body Reconstruction treasure, Joe looks at Carmilla and said "Carmilla, possess this pendant and go inside it. There is something I need to discuss with you."
Carmilla nodded and do as he said without asking anything, clearly showing his attitude 'ready to die' for his master. Joe then nodded happily and began to concentrate his mind. He then sees a computer with Carmilla scrutinizing it.
"Master, what this is?" Carmilla pointed to the computer.
"This is called a computer. Come, I need to tell you something." He then turns on the computer and told her his plan to make a VR game and bring the player to help him conquer the world. Of course, he used a simple word like 'bring soul servant to possess created body', 'naive soul', and 'cheap but hardworking soul'.
"Is... Is this going to work, master? Are they cheap as you said? Hardworking mortal soul with endless potential?" Carmilla can't help but doubt him. To Carmilla, player existence that will help him conquer the world as long as their quest and treat is as entertainment was unheard of.
Even though they cannot be truly dead and the pain they feel can be adjusted based on how many the nerve constructed, but it will damage their body a little and the pain is real.
"Don't worry, you can judge it later when they come. Right, is there any way to display this message to the mind of the constructed body?"
Carmilla thought a little and said. "There is, you can construct 'illusion' and 'communication' rune inside the body head. Although this thing called a computer cannot materialize into the real world, it still can emit signals. It is the same principle as communication jade made by the same runemaster that creates this pendant."
Joe then cheered in his heart. His plan is feasible! He hurriedly asked "How many observers marks you can plant? And can you see from their perspective?"
"More than a thousand? Around that number. Yes, I can see from their perspective and 100 meters around them. Don't worry, I can observe all of the thousand of them. Although my race is not suitable for combat, I can process what's going on simultaneously."
Joe sighed of relief. "Great! Let me teach you how to use this computer and become a system for the game..." He then told Carmilla how to make an announcement, set quest difficulty and reward based on the table he made, status window, and many things.
Carmilla is a fast learner for useless things besides fighting, so she quickly grasped the game glossary and system in just a few hours. Joe then learned from Carmilla that so-called exp and status distribution just merely defeating another creature then absorb their spirit strand, and sit down to consolidate the stored spirit strand to strengthening their body.
Joe then overjoyed, he keeps thinking about exp and status distribution for a few days made his head hurt. He nearly gave up and delete the leveling system, but he thought that without leveling system, this fantasy VR game would feel incomplete. He glad that he can keep the leveling system.
After teaching all he knows about the game to Carmilla, he then opened his eye and ready to test things. First, he grabs the Divinity Crystal from the spatial bracelet and restores his divinity.
He then put his hand on the Body Construction treasure thingy, and he heard Carmilla voice from mental communication "Just concentrate on your divinity and imprint it on the machine. You will feel the connection to the machine. Then you need to use your mana to imprint the creature's facial feature and 2 inherited traits to the mana stone. And then throw the mana stone to the machine, and body you created would be created in no time."

Joe then asked, "Where can I get mana stone?"
Carmilla's voice then heard in his head "Fortunately, that altar still has mana stone left. I think there is still a super grade mana stone left. Break it into 10,000 pieces to get low-grade mana stone."
Joe then picked up the used up basketball-sized super grade mana stone and use his strength to crush it. It then crumbled into many small pieces of the exact size. With previous owner memories of strength control, it is easy to do such feat as Transcended being.
"How many grade mana stones are there?" Joe casually asked.
"4. low, mid, high, and super."
Joe nodded. "Can this imprint process be automated? It is okay if there is just a thousand, but in the future, if I had millions of soul servant, wouldn't I die of exhaustion then?".
"I'm not sure, master. But I heard about a treasure which can imprint communication message to mana stone automatically. It is said you can find it on Diocese Hub World."
Joe raised his brow "Diocese Hub?"
"Yes, a mid leveled world owned by peak Ascended Realm. It is a trade hub that you can find much treasure from many worlds there." She answered from inside the pendant.
"No matter then, we can think it in the future. Let's start our experiment." Joe waved his hand and imprint Keanu Reeve's face on the mana stone along with STR and END traits. He then throws the mana stone into the machine.
Less than a minute, the hatch of the machine opened and contains a lifeless body inside. Joe brings out the body and imprints the rune inside the body's head. He then asked Carmilla to plant an observer mark on the body.
He quickly concentrates his mind on the pendant. He suddenly has an idea and imagining 2 monitors and start engraving multi-stacked rune to make this monitor usable.
He then said "Carmilla, can you display your observer mark on the left monitor?"
Carmilla then answered "Yes, I can! Wait a minute." Carmilla whispered something and the monitor suddenly lit up. He saw himself sitting on the ground in the monitor, meaning that the observer mark is working. He then asked Carmilla to send a status display into the body. As soon as he said that, the monitor change, showing a status window.

"Are there any other way to increase the level besides killing a creature?" Joe asked Carmilla.
"Yes, you can absorb spirit strand from crushed mana stone. But it is not worth it in the eyes of many Tiered Supers. Rather, they preferred to killing demon beast and buy absorption potion with mana stone and quicken the spirit absorption process."
Joe nodded. She also told that although the created body inherited traits to make them stronger, the inherited traits also absorb the spirit strand gained. So, the advantage is they get stronger quicker, the disadvantages is they only gained a few attributes points to distribute. Every Tier-0 level up, the player will get 3 attributes, 1 allocated to 2 traits and 2 are free to distribute, or in this world term 'consolidate'.
After a few tests, the experiment was then finished. Joe decisively decimate the body and lost the connection to the body. He patted his body from non-existent dust and sat down. He started to project his avatar to earth.
...
Joe appeared inside the largest tech company in the world. He proceeded to the server room and engrave an invisible rune into the server. He nodded and left the building.
With Joe's inhuman speed, no camera on Earth could catch him. He made a few invitations with a link inside the invitation and traveled across the world.
Before going inside the tech building, he stole someone's phone and search for many mid and low-ranked players, along with some game streamers. He didn't consider high-ranked players because they would reject his invitation from an unknown game developer.
...
One day later, some small circle of gamer and streamer alike caught in an uproar. They received an invitation to a new VR game called 'Eternal Online'. They searched online for more information but to no avail. Many of them started to ask some people in the same circle, only being asked by them with the same question.
They later learned that it's not only them, but many gamers and streamer across the world received the invitation. They then agreed to conduct an online meeting inside a VR game called Overlord, a VR game with 100 million players.
Overlord can simulate 50% of reality, a very impressive feat and the best in the current era. It is hailed as the 'second reality' for many people because you can do many things inside the game.
But only a few can afford to play the game because of high specification requirements and costly monthly subscription fees.
