"The first clearance reward for the event boss? Finally! I've been waiting for it to show up and it only arrived after I died."
When Weiss was about to celebrate, he immediately remembered that what he saw wasn't the screen on his past life's phone but a system screen.
He was so engrossed with receiving the first clearance reward that he subconsciously forgot about the "system" part.
"Wait, system, are you real? Are you not a figment of my imagination?"
Asking the system screen in front of him, Weiss also moved his hand and touched the system screen. Contrary to his expectations, his hand didn't pass through the system screen but it landed on it as if it was a solid object.
Caressing the system screen, he found out that it was smooth as if he was touching his computer's screen.
[Host, please stop touching me.]
"Ah, sorry!"
Subconsciously, Weiss apologized. But then he realized something, "Aren't most systems I read have no intelligence and are mostly driven by the system's artificial intelligence? Are you perhaps one of those systems that have a system spirit?"
Weiss asked out of curiosity. After all, what he heard wasn't the cold robotic voice that was described by the system novels he had read. Instead, it was a feminine angelic voice that seemed to calm his mind and soul just by hearing it.
[Yes, I'm real and you haven't gone insane, yet. Furthermore, I am Alice, the system spirit of the God-Level Game Developer System. Nice to meet you, Weiss Shiro Albus.]
"Nice to meet you too, Alice."
Out of courtesy, Weiss greeted in return while he turned on the computer.
[I know you have many questions. Although I can't answer all of them, I can answer at least some of them.]
[To start with, you died along with the billions of humans on Planet Earth. However, you and a few majority managed to defeat the Reality Destroyer Dragon God. The game of Fantasia Online was developed by a higher existence and it was a test to pick out the best among the humans. It was to test whether one is qualified to defend a world from destruction.]
[Those who participated in the raid against the Reality Destroyer Dragon God will receive another life in a soon-to-be destroyed world as well as a golden finger. Those who played Fantasia Online but didn't participate in the raid will only have their memories intact in the next life but no golden finger. As for those who didn't play Fantasia Online, they entered the cycle of reincarnation as usual and will have their memories removed.]
[But since you were the main contributor to the defeat of the Reality Destroyer Dragon God, you received the best and strongest golden finger which is the God-Level Game Developer System.]
When Weiss heard Alice's explanation, he frowned, "So I am transmigrated in this soon-to-be destroyed world? What about those who played Fantasia Online but didn't participate in the raid? As you said, they will have their memories intact in their next life. But were they transmigrated in a soon-to-be destroyed world?"
[Yes, you are transmigrated in a soon-to-be destroyed world. As for those who played Fantasia online but didn't participate in the raid, they won't be transmigrated to a soon-to-be destroyed world.]
[After all, the quality of humans on Planet Earth isn't that high. If they are transmigrated to a world with impending destruction without any golden finger, it will be a miracle if they can survive until the world is destroyed, let alone save that world.]
[Only a few exceptions such as you can survive in a soon-to-be destroyed world without a golden finger. And since you are that capable, you were sent to the world with the highest threat of destruction.]
[Don't worry. Even if you die, you will still have another life in another world with your memories intact but with no golden finger. It's the consolation prize for at least being caught up in this mess.]
[However, if you save this world from its impending destruction, you can obtain ownership of this world as well as have the opportunity to step into the realms of the higher existences.]
Receiving that reply from Alice, Weiss smirked, "I'm bored anyways, so I might as well have a try at this new life of mine."
"Since I have the strongest golden finger among the rest of the raid participants, even if this world is the most difficult soon-to-be destroyed world, I still have to try at least."
[That's the spirit!]
[After all…]
[Weiss, two months from now, the invasion from another world will destroy Blue Star. You need to prepare and let the entire human race have the power to defeat those invaders! Become a God-Level Game Developer!]
"Wait, what? Two months from now? Isn't the otherworld invasion too early?"
At first, Weiss still had some confidence since he estimated that the threat of world destruction would only be a year at the least. But now, he wasn't certain.
[Don't worry too much. The power of the God-Level Game Developer System cannot be underestimated. Even if you were given only one month of preparation, it is still enough to deal with the invaders from another world.]
[After all, the dimensional gates used by the invaders aren't that powerful at the start. So, it's impossible for a god-level existence to come out of the dimensional gate on the first day of the invasion.]
"That's quite reassuring. But how do I use the God-Level Game Developer System?"
After Weiss asked that question, Alice immediately summoned the system menu.
