Somewhere above earth watching over it
“Yes! I have saved up enough!”
Standing in space stood a middle-aged man, his features average with short sandy brown hair and a 5 o’clock shadow, wearing a snow-white robe. Below his feet was the planet Earth, looking towards the planet the man gave a short laugh.
“It’s time to change up my little planet, she has grown quite beautifully with many different cultures appearing and the different eras that have risen and fallen, I wonder how she’ll change with this new system.” He said with a small grin on his face.
“It took me long enough though, to save up enough faith points to upgrade my little planet with a system, I can’t wait for a second more. Planet Creation Shop open!” The man shouted out.
In front of the man an interface popped up, it didn’t look much different from ones seen in computer games seen on the man’s planet with a transparent light blue screen.

“Amazing I can’t wait to see what the humans make of this when they see their planet is now more than 50% bigger of its previous size.” The man said while clicking and confirming the purchase of adding 25,000km to the planet's size.
“Now onto adding the Continents. I’ll add one that is four times the size of North America and another twice the size of Australia. The bigger one will be in the Pacific Ocean in between South America and Australia and I’ll randomise the environment and topography of it. The smaller one I’ll make into a floating continent that follows the equator moving from the west towards the east and will be a resource filled paradise. Now that’s done it’s time to add the System Law.”

“There it is, I can’t believe it took me 3 millennia to save up that amount plus the extra 5,460,000 to increase the planet size and to add new continents as well, now let’s buy it.” The man said with a grin on his face. He touched the System Law option.

The man hit confirm with a face splitting grin and visibly shaking from excitement. After hitting confirm a new menu popped up filled with different settings for the system.
The man spent an unknown amount of time editing and adding stuff to the new system.
“Hahaha, it is done.” The man laughed he looked over what settings he had selected.
* Status System added
* Skill System added
* Magic System added
* New Races added
Status System
The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
All Races equipped with the Status system have 5 different stats, affecting how strong, skilled, intelligent or talented they are. Some races will have advantages and disadvantages in different stats and for an individual to view their stats, skills and talents they need to think ‘status’. The 5 stats are:
Strength (STR) – governs the ability of the physical strength and how much and induvial can carry. 1 point of strength is equal to being able to lift 10 kg.
Constitution (CON) – affects how sturdy and tough the body of the individual is. Constitution will affect how resistant the induvial is too harmful effects towards the body (poison, illness etc.). 10 points of constitution would allow an individual to have skin tough as bark, 100 points would be skin tough as iron.
Dexterity (DEX) – governs the speed, reflexes and the body control of a person. 10 point of dexterity is equal to being able to run at 20 km/h and average reaction time at 0.3 seconds.
Intelligence (INT) – affects the individual’s ability to retain information, thinking speed, common sense and how strong their magic is. 10 points are the average of a normal human.
Magic Resistance (MGR) – affects the individual’s resistance to magical attacks towards the body and mind.
Skill System
Nearly anything achievable by an individual can be called a skill. Skills are broken into different tiers.
Tier 1 – Beginner level, just starting.
Tier 2 – Novice level, a small amount of skill.
Tier 3 – Adept level, average level of skill.
Tier 4 – Veteran level, a good level of skill, roughly 1 in 50 individuals will have one.
Tier 5 – Expert level, high level of skill, roughly 1 in 200 individuals will have one.
Tier 6 – Master level, general mastery of a skill, roughly 1 in 10,000 of individuals will have one.
Tier 7 – Legend level, complete mastery of a skill, only 1 in 1,000,000 individuals will have one.
Tier 8 – Divine Level, unrivaled on the continent. Normally only 1-10 individuals per continent will have one.
Tier EX – Skill has surpassed the system ability to measure skill.
Magic System
The magic system adds elemental types of magic. Gaining control of an element will add it to the Skill System list once achieving a certain level of skill with the magic, the magic will be broken down in the same manner, as skills are, for example, Fire Magic Tier 1 or Earth Magic Tier 5.
Magic Elements are Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, Plant, Lightning, Light, Dark, Space, Time and Non-Elemental Magic. Some races are incapable of using certain elements while some races can use them all. The only exception to this is Non-Elemental which can be used by all races.
New Races
Pre-existing Humans will change into new races at random.
New Races and the current percentage of the population of each race are:
* Humans – 39.99% population
* Elves (other types of elves as well) 10% population
* Dwarves 10% population
* Beastkin 20% population
* Fae (fairy, centaur, satyr, other mythological creatures) 10% population
* Demons (devil, incubus, succubus, imp, other demonic races) 10% population
The last 0.01% are races that are inherently more powerful than normal, and these races are limited to family bloodlines. Some races will have natural abilities or skills unique to their race and will be listed as a racial or unique skill. During racial change, people will get their ideal body this includes humans as well.
The middle-aged man closed the menu and waved his hand creating a chair that is solid white and made of an unknown material, then sat down in it and relaxed back into it, now gazing down once again towards the planet Earth eager to see how the world will change.
Planet Earth
Date 5th of May 2019
1:00 AM GMT
At this time loud cracking noises could be heard all over the planet and in populated areas, the sounds of screaming, shouting and moaning caused by pain could be heard as well. As the cracking noises and noises caused by pain were made, the planet started expanding in size, in the Pacific Ocean deep under the sea the ground was rapidly rising to form the shape of a new continent. As the ground burst through the surface of the ocean, great amounts of water were displaced creating massive waves, hundreds of metres tall. Atop of the new continent, the topography rapidly changed to create mountains, rivers, forests, deserts, jungles and many other terrains, new fauna also appeared bringing many new creatures to the world.
Located hundreds of kilometres above in the sky a speck of earth appeared and then started expanding in size to create the new floating continent, atop this new continent grass rapidly sprouted, rivers and lakes were made filling with water appearing out the air, and trees burst through the soil to create several forests and in the centre of the island the ground shot up to create a single mountain on the continent. As the planet was changing so were the people, their skin rippling or fur sprouting, changing to their new appearance and their new race, as these people were changing, they had bystanders looking upon them confused as to what was happening.
These changes happening to the people lasted only mere minutes and the changes happening to the planet finished only in a dozen minutes. During this time the changes were occurring magic subtly started flowing out of the core of the planet seeping into everything on the planet. Over time other changes to the terrain will happen in already pre-existing continents.
As of now on, these changes occurring on May 5th, 2019 and after, the world will enter a golden era with new advancements in technology, lifestyle and many other areas. But along with will be fighting and bloodshed.
The system has descended.
