<h4>Chapter 324: Stars and Stories</h4>


    In order to facilitate a natural environment for the race you want to use as the yers in this world, I need ess to that race. EverLasting told me that you would be able to find an option inside of the Reality Virtual interface to upload the race.


    I watched Vivi’s words appear within the window on myputer, nodding my head. This wasn’t quite what I expected when I was told that I would be prompted for the race selection, but it was not entirely inurate. I went through the interface, and chose the demon race as the ‘primary race’ for Vision Expanse.


    Thank you, Dale. Now, while you are there, you should see a selection for secondary races. You can choose to have these avable at the start of the ‘game’ for yers to select, and you may also select for there to be other civilizations that host these races, whether they are in other countries ors.


    I had noticed that option, and actually nned to ask her about it when we were done. But since she brought it up herself, I nodded, beginning to add in the other races. The only one that I chose not to add to this menu was the dungeon core race, because I could not imagine anyone wanting to y as an immobile dungeon stuck at the starting zone. Aside from that, the game likely had its own dungeon system.


    Very good. You’ve chosen several races as viable both as a starting race, and as other civilizations. Do you have any restrictions on how you want these races to be unlocked, or shall they be avable from the start?


    “Avable from the start.” While it was nice to give people the option to y as demons within the game, I definitely did not want to force everyone into that race. The fact that I was able to set it up so that they could y their own unique races was pretty useful.


    I understand. I notice that you included one race that has several variable options. Do you wish for those options to be freely chosen by the yer, or shall it be left to chance which variant they begin as?


    That one made me take some time to think. I knew that she was talking about the centaurs, as they were the only race I owned with ‘variant’ options. I just wasn’t sure if it would break the bnce of the game to have the variants avable to the yers, since some of them could get quite strong. “Is there a ‘family’ system in this game at all?”


    When she asked for me to borate, I took a deep breath. “If two yers got together, would they be able to produce a child. And if so, would a yer be able to y as that child?”


    There is no system in ce for such an urrence. However, it is within my power to assign a feature like that, as it does not require additional purchases.


    “It… doesn’t?” Now that surprised me. I was expecting to have to purchase any little changes that I wanted to make here.


    No, sir. As I am able to act with a certain measure of control within this world, including yer spawn options, I am able to adjust this rule as it is not a system bought from the Keeper market.


    “I see… what if two characters of different races wished to have a child?” I had never been particrly interested in purchasing a system like that for my worlds, because I did not see much of a point to it. If two people loved one another, then they would continue that love whether or not they were able to have a child.


    However, in a video game things were different. People yed games to live out the fantasies that they couldn’t have in real life. It made sense to make something like that possible here.


    There is an option for a custom starting race built into the systems included for this world. Using that, I can merge the two parent races to produce an offspring sharing mixed traits of the parents. Is this something that you wish to be possible?


    “Yes, please.” I nodded my head, watching theputer screen. “Is there anything else that you need to know, before we can get started?”


    There is, yes. In this world, religion ys a heavy role. If you do not have any deities, I can invent a few to fill the roles as needed. However, if you already possess them, then I also have the option to incorporate those deities into the world of Vision Expanse.


    Naturally, I wasn’t about to give up on that. Religion was equally as important to my own worlds, and Ashley’spany might be hurt if other deities were represented in the game while Ashley herself wasn’t. I began telling Vivi the names of the various gods and goddesses, as well as their domains. I was quite confused when Vivi asked for their personalities. However, rather than describing that about them, I suggested that she talk to them herself.


    As I was just about to finish up with this segment, a thought urred to me. “Vivi… would it be possible to add a second elven goddess?” I felt something stir inside of my soul as I asked that question.


    Of course, sir. There is room for a potentially unlimited number of deities.


    “Good… Leowynn, could youe out?” There was a moment of hesitation, before I felt the silver mist slowly seeping out of my body. When my daughter appeared standing next to me, she looked at me with a face mixed with concern and confusion.


    “Are you sure, father?” She asked, ncing between myself and theputer screen. “I thought you wished to keep my existence a secret?”


    “At first.” I nodded my head. “But I always nned to let them know at some point. And… I was nning to discuss it with Vivi, to make the information about you need to be discovered within the game. Would that be possible?”


    Surely. I need only to insert her as a goddess for a foreign power. yers are often drawn to new information such as this, ording to EverLasting.


    “Alright.” I gave another nod, turning to look at Leowynn. “So, what domains would you like here?” I felt my lips tugging upwards as I asked that. “Everyone gets three.”


    Leowynn’s face flushed, having clearly not expected this kind of development. “U-uhm… Stars?” She looked down at her own dress. “Stars have always been a really big thing for me… Aside from that… Vivi, do you have any suggestions?”


    There are several popr domains that have not been taken yet. The Beauty domain is a


    “No! Not that one, please!” Leowynn’s face flushed even further as she cut Vivi off, her blush reaching all the way up to her ears.


    Very well. You addressed the Keeper as your father. If you like, we could style you as a creation deity.


    “I can’t be the creator.” Leowynn shook her head again. “That’d mean I came before my mother, Ryone. It wouldn’t make any sense.”


    Understood. If you are the daughter of the Goddess of Magic and the Keeper, then perhaps you would prefer to have the Family domain?


    “Family…” She hesitated again, before nodding. “Okay, I like that one. But, one more… stars, family… what could possibly connect those?”


    If we carry Stars as your prominent domain, then Family could represent a major constetion within the area that you reside. By that logic, your third domain would simrly represent another constetion.


    “Oh?” Leowynn looked in surprise towards theputer. “Okay, then… a constetion. Could… I be the goddess of Monsters? They’re amon theme in constetions, right? Especially… dragons.”


    I could easily prepare this setting for you, yes. Now, Dale. If there is nothing else, I would like to inform you of a few options that have been included within the game settings.


    EverLasting gave me the ability to create Admin ounts. This setting would be chosen upon creation of the ount, and could not be changedter. While logged in on the Admin ount, you will possess powers simr to that of a deity, as well as the ability to grant or remove levels, skills, or equipment.


    “Admin ount, huh?” That seemed pretty standard for a video game. I wasn’t sure whether or not to expect something like that from the Reality Virtual system, but it was nice to see that the option was considered.


    This ount is treated as secondary, and anybody possessing an Admin ount may also log in with a normal yer ount if they simply wish to y the game. I was also instructed to warn you that, should an enemy in the Keeper Games directly infiltrate Vision Expanse, the Admin ount will not be able to influence them.


    Aside from that, I am currently rebooting the world. If you have any lore that you would like to include in the world, please tell me at this time, and I will see that it is ced in a fitting location.


    I gave it a moment of thought. However, aside from Leowynn, I couldn’t think of any other special information that I wanted to hide inside of the game. Hearing nothing from me, Vivi seemed to assume that there was nothing else, her chat window going nk as she began to type out another message to me.


    Very well, I shall use my own discretion. By the time this world has been installed on a device, it should be ready.


    “That’s… fast.” I nodded, a bit surprised myself that it would be ready so soon. Though, she was probably getting things ready privately as we were setting up the different modifications. I turned my head, ncing towards Leowynn to see that she was doing her best to conceal a small smile. “Vivi, is it possible for a spirit to y the game?”


    That depends entirely on the level of technology used to connect, sir. However, like all game worlds designed by EverLasting, Vision Expanse is created with the idea that it will be yed over thousands of years. During this time, it is entirely possible for there to be a breakthrough that would allow a spirit to connect with the game.


    So it wasn’t likely to be a thing yet with a group that had just unlocked the technology. However, there was hope for letting her y the game herself in time. Until then, if I chose to log in, she’d simply be watching it through my eyes.


    Ashley. I sent a message out to the demoness, ncing back to myputer and switching over to the map. I could easily find the gamepany in Lenan’s capital, and see a very excited demoness flying in through the roof entrance. In her hand she was gingerly holding the new sh drive, though I saw her wing give a small twitch when I sent that message.


    You don’t have to do so right away. But eventually, I’d like it if you were to make known that yourpany was actually founded by you. If people see the game as something literally brought by the gods, it’s less likely to fall out of style in the long run, I think.


    After entering the building, I saw Ashley give a small nod, still walking towards her own office. Inside thepany, I saw that there was a huge server room set up, even though thepany didn’t seem to have released any prominent game titles yet. Something I imagine the employees were quite concerned over.


    Nheless, once she plugged her sh drive into theputer, there was a moment of pause. Afterwards, she tilted her head back and beganughing uproariously. Her wings trembled as she clutched her side, and I didn’t even realize what she wasughing about until she sent a message. A week! Just transferring all this information to our servers is going to take a week!
