I make my way through the forest of cat towers and find a hill with less towers on it and I start constructing a house
I deleted the trees on the hill and started picturing a house in my mind not too big but since its not real it can be luxurious I made it a two story house because I wanted to view over the trees and didn’t want to destroy the view I set up a program for building my house it would be to difficult to just pop the thing into existence so I set up a program to build it in steps and after a few hours it was complete.
I went up to the second floor balcony just out of the bedroom and I noticed the view wasn’t that great after all its just an infinite plane with cat towers, Cat Forest, that is what I will call it. I put a lake infront of the balcony
There might have been a shout as a couple of cats fell into the lake as it suddenly appeared under them. I made east that direction as well I want to view the morning sun off the lake from my balcony off to the north I put a snowcapped mountain range and lowered the over all temperature a few degrees I am finished I start to admire the view when two drenched cats start climbing the hill towards me.
I wave to them “hey do you want me to bring a blow drier for you?”
They just glared at me oh well I’ll see what the system was talking about earlier
I opened the panel for achievements
New Achievements added
Coder of life
You have created a sentient life via coding
People who were created themselves will show more respect towards you
Well I kind of expected that but I didn’t expect the bonus’ once I can get out my mind and travel the virtual world it would be great cant wait to literally explore new worlds
I head downstairs and open the door for the girls and point them to the bathroom that programed to auto generate warm towels
Now that I think about it Monica seems to be looking around the house more then Shari like she doesn’t know what anything is, its not like her world doesn’t have technology right?
“What’s up Monica you keep looking like you’ve seen something amazing?”
“Well is all the stuff in this place common?”
“It is for the most part but there are some things that are not like how the towels are warm all the time that doesn’t exist in reality thought I suppose it could there are heated blankets and the house size is about normal for places outside of the big cities”
She seems to be deep in thought for a while
“I have come to realize your world is probably rich in resources and because of this your race developed more industrial and cultural but there seems to be a lot of conflict but judging from the level of technology it suggests you have had a long period of peace between your people”
“well there are still conflicts ever once in a while but we haven’t had an great wars in a while, Judging from what you said I can assume we will at some point have an increase in technology and we will fight over that and probably have another world war”
Monica’s face darkens when I said world war “when you say world war do you mean fighting other worlds?”
“No, before there were alliances that were not announced to the rest of the world and once someone decided to conquer the world everyone joined in on the side that they allied and it turned out the entire world was fighting each other and a lot of people died due to the cruel acts of both sides and so we set regulations on war that certain acts are banned in war”
Monica had a face like she couldn’t believe what she heard “You mean to say you guys had a war so large that the death toll was so extreme the war ended? And then you put laws so less people die?”
“Well in the end the ‘World wars’ ended on the side that had a larger manpower”
Monica just simply couldn’t understand what she heard

This time Shari said something “A lot of death but after the deaths the populations boomed because the kids were no longer dying so fast in the end people died but as a whole we benefited although a lot of culture was lost overall I suppose with more technology we start looking at numbers more then we do the right and wrong”
She just said something profound, since she’s in my mind doesn’t that also make it my idea?
Monica seems to understand “Ah so Mass media also played a big part in those events”
Monica had a face like she remembered something important “Oh right the system allowed me to take you outside so you can edit the exterior of your mind this will change how others will see your mind when they are traveling on your world so, most people have it look like their house, and since you are the first one to claim land you can have it almost any size you want”
Oh many idea’s popped into my head and I sensed Shari was having more cat themed
“Am I allowed to change the lay of the land, say I wanted a forest?”
“Usually no but since your world is not constructed yet you can and the rest of the world will be built around it”
“Ok lets go out and check” I open the door to my house and instead of the cat forest was the black portal into the nothing and at the base of the door was the blue construct lines of the system building the world
Monica steps out first dragging a limp Shari with her and then I step out
Monica gave a rundown of changing how my mind looked, it currently looked a black ball next to other balls but mine was more defined because I had a solid connection to the system
I set up the exterior of my mind to be the same as my house which wasn’t difficult
Doing the land around my house was more difficult I had to redirect the system and make a blank spot around my house so I can set up the cat forest I had to start from nothing it wasn’t just changing what was there. there was literally nothing so I pictured a forest from when I was studying ecology I used this image as a base when I started building it instead of just placing cat towers instead of trees I put trees then I carved them making it look more nature alcoves on three sides around my mind I put up mountains and then my thoughts strayed and got a picture of mount Rushmore and then all of a sudden another thought came through not from me but from Shari it was a cat face on a mountain and all of sudden there was a picture of a certain cat girl sleeping on a branch carved into the end of the mountain
All of a sudden two achievements popped into my head
New Achievements added
New Trophy added
Oh I think I can guess what that’s about
After that thought I got a message
The system has recognized your help in creating the world and has taken knowledge from your mind to complete it faster shorting the build time by 3 years and a new patch was developed based on your knowledge of the laws of the universe you will be rewarded for your contributions once your world is complete
Now that was unexpected so I get a world creator achievement with a trophy and a reward for the system taking info from the knowledge our scientists found, doesn’t that mean we are the more advanced then other races? If that’s not true how are other races more advanced then us?
Oh well thinking about it will hurt lets just move on to the next two years of development of the world
Then another screen popped up showing that the virtual was patched.
I skimmed the patch notes it mainly about biological stuff and how electricity flows
Strangely there’s also something a patch in the bank system lets just not mention that to Monic
“So what happens now?” I asked Monica
“well usually by now the world is created, but its not because you’re abnormally fast the system has said if you remain here and help build the world you will be rewarded or you can explore the closest world from here but you wont be rewarded”
“well lets build how does it want it to be built like a 1 to 1? Or more stuff like my cat valley here?” I say while motioning towards the mountain carved with a cat
“well you just have to help view what the system is doing and speed it up by providing an image or creating it yourself”
Ok I guess I’ll stay rewards are good I guess
“guess I’ll stay”
“Ok great well I’ll see you in a few years then” she waves as she blinks out of existence
I feel a little emptiness in my heart as she’s gone it’s a big universe out there I wonder how long it will be before I see her again maybe I’m feeling a bit lonely after all I haven’t to anyone other than her for five years
Then Shari walks up to me and hugs me
Right I forgot about her I guess I’m not so alone after all
Then the system sent a message to me
Because of the faster build speed predicted the ambassador has been selected and will arrive at your planet in half a year
You have been selected to be the first contact for the ambassador for the smooth transition of your race into the virtual world
Well that’s interesting I wonder how that will work I guess I’ll start providing images to the system for the world for the first half a year then decide what I will do about the ambassador
.

I spent half a year building the world and its almost finished it will be finished in half year if I don’t interfere I logged out and took off my head set looking around my really bleak apartment even Shari in my mind says she doesn’t like it
Though she can still access the mind she cant go out into the virtual world
I walk to my door after getting dressed for what passed for presentable around my apartment and while walk on the street to the store to buy groceries my phone rang it actually rang I wonder who called me no one would call me, I pick up the phone and on the screen the number is undefined
I answer it and I hear the sound of many people in the background
“Hello”
“Oh it worked is this Jake?”
“Yeah”
