The boundless sky of blue and the deepened void of the darkness beyond it. The trees and the people, the culture and the nations.
This world was extremely similar to the earth that he once knew. Though it was with a twist, he isn't a person from this world.
He died back in the original world that he was familiar with. Leaving behind nothing but the emptiness of his lonely life.
No one will remember him for who he was.
But then in this life, things will change.
As he came down into this world with a system.
[The World Simulation System]
[In 3 years to come, this world will be invaded by foreign forces. Pouring into this planet and wantonly slaughtering the people for their interest. Everything will perish under the enemy's greed]
[But with the host's arrival, everything will be changed from the original trajectory.]
[This system will allow the host to change this world bit by bit. Transforming the people and even their understanding. But it will be at a cost, requiring energy points]
[These energy points can be obtained by pretending, mystery, and even emotions.]

"This is quite unsightly... "
Haitem wryly smiled with a dejected look on his face after reading the system's prompt within his mind.
Rubbed his messy hair for a moment and he sighed.
"I thought in the afterlife, I don't have to do anything anymore... But this... "
He shook his head again and again.
Re-adjusting his posture on the bed and slowly got off the soft quilt. There was a mirror next to the bed, a human-sized mirror.
Haitem looked at it for a while, discerning his average appearance with a plain look on his face.
Short grey hair, the average male height, and the not so good looking face of his.
"Well... it's fate... Follow along, I guess "
He picked his nose up while saying this.
Strode forth towards the bathroom door and unhurriedly started the day with the normal routine of the original body's habit.
Minutes later, in the kitchen area.
Haitem sat on one of the chairs lazily, stuffed the unheated chicken thigh into his mouth, and drank the plain water on the side to jug it down.
Placing the cup back onto the table, Haitem burped and exhaled.
"I should start already... 3 years might seem like a long time but in fact, it is extremely short... "
He shrugged with a helpless look.
Stood up from the table and slowly walked forward to the main room.
Over there, he sat down in front of a large circular table in front of him.
Cross-legged on the ground and he waved his hand over the table surface.
In an instant, a miracle happened within this view.
It was like a phantom, the outline of buildings and streets began to emerge on the table.
Filling the whole surface of the wide table as Haitem focused his eyes all over the picture for a moment.
"True Cloud City... With the base population of 17 million people... "
Haitem rubbed his right kneels for a bit, trying to get rid of the itchy feeling, and continued with his words next.
"Where should I start, hmmm... "
He pondered for a moment while thinking of this.
He was planning to create a small scene first for the people. With the start, the base of over 10000 points was gifted by the system.
"How about here... "
He dragged his finger across the table's phantom to the edge of the city.
It was a relatively large forest area filled with small hills all around. This place was treated as a park for people to trek from time to time.
And with that, this place should be a good starting point for his plan.
He needed people to react to the things that he was about to create, the tenser the emotions, the higher the points will be in return.
Deciding this, he then carefully urged over 1000 points to create a masterpiece. Deducting the points from 10000 to 9000 in an instant.
Just so you know, Haitem majored in art back in the original world when he was in college. And his creativity in design was quite high.
He got quite a high attainment in creative design for creatures.
Soon enough, a large outline of a giant python emerged within his view. It was within the creative space of the system.
With an exaggerated length of over 15 meters long and the thickness of several street poles. This beast will surely give quite a huge shock to the current human world.
Haitem created over 30 of these creatures in an instant.
It will take more than a normal bullet to kill this thing due to its size under Haitem's deliberate adjustment.
Next, he shifted his gaze over the corner of the city yet again. Grabbed the 30 Python into his hand as if they were ants and placed them into these forests silently.
Spreading them around evenly to live there from now on. Whether these creatures will harm human lives or not, Haitem doesn't care.
As long as these pythons will generate money for him, anything else is doable.
As for the remaining 9000 points, he decided to use them to strengthen himself first. And spare over 1000 points as an emergency saving for any unnecessary issues.
Well, he will budget it dearly while improving his strength.
"The cost of improving my strength to the peak of the Qi Refining realm is 3000 points. The cost of stabilizing my realm is 1000 points and the cost of baptizing my body is another 2000 points"
Haitem touched his chin for a moment while saying these words.
And finally, after several considerations. He spent over 6 thousand points to increase his strength directly to the peak of the qi refining realm.
Unlike normal cultivation way, Haitem's path is much easier and smoother due to the system's help.
There was no need for a life-and-death situation for treasures. No need for an epiphany for a breakthrough and he doesn't even need to absorb any aura from the air.
The system created a shortcut for him. And shortly, he doesn't even have to worry about thunder tribulation once he reached the higher realm.
"It's a smooth life for sure.... "
Haitem cheerfully smiled while laying his back against the soft couch behind him.
At the same time, he was silently paying attention to the forest area with great interest.
Wanting to see what will happen next as if he was watching a movie.
