Elian had always been an artist at heart, with a passion for painting and drawing that rivaled his love for life itself. Growing up in a world where creativity was discouraged, he faced countless hardships and criticisms from those who deemed his talents a waste of time.
Despite the odds, Elian persevered, honing his skills in secret and dreaming of a world where art was celebrated. He worked multiple jobs to make ends meet, all while pouring his heart and soul into his craft.
One fateful night, Elian's latest masterpiece was rejected by the local art gallery, citing "lack of realism" and "poor technique." Crushed and defeated, he wandered the streets, questioning his purpose and the value of his art.
As he stumbled through the darkness, a strange glow caught his eye. A small, mysterious box lay on the ground, emitting a soft hum. Without hesitation, Elian opened the box, and a blinding light enveloped him.
When the light faded, Elian found himself in a realm beyond his own, face to face with a sentient system known as "The Architect."
The Architect spoke in a voice that echoed in Elian's mind, "Greetings, Elian. You have been chosen to wield the Powers of Creation. Your task is to create a world from scratch, a world that will surpass the greatness of your wildest dreams."
Elian's mind raced with questions: "What do you mean by Powers of Creation? What kind of world am I supposed to create? And why me, of all people?"
The Architect replied, "All will be revealed in time, Elian. First, you must familiarize yourself with your situation and understand the true extent of your powers."
And with that, Elian's journey as the World Architect began.
