Creation System: Reborn As A Fantasy Worldsmith

16 Genesis: Layer 1

[IMPORTANT NOTICE: Due to some confusion, the [Vitality] stat for creatures upon using Scan has been removed.

"Your name will be," Lyrian said as he neared his hand to the wolf to pet it.

"Garmr," Lyrian stated, using the names Garm and Arr as references. He wasn't exactly the best when it came to naming yet.

*Ding* [Obsidian Wolf name has been formed: Garmr]

As soon as his hand reached the wolf's belly, it quickly opened its eyes before jumping up and biting into the side of Lyrians face.

Lyrian blinked a few times in shock… before jumping up himself and yelling in pain.

After removing the wild wolf's grip on his face, Lyrian held it in front of him while it rambunctiously moved, trying to bite at his fingers and get loose.

"Hey! I created you, you little bugger! How about you show some respect!?"

Lyrian thought that his creature was going to respect him because he created him, but it seemed that was definitely not going to be the case.

[Due to your low OP, a creature of this magnitude will not automatically respect you]

"Tsk! How annoying," Lyrian said, staring at the rowdy pup in his hands with an irritated expression.

*Ding* [New skill obtained: Shadow (Ability to hide your creatures within your shadow)]

"Huh? Well, then that's perfect. This is what you get, you little shit! Come out when you're ready to behave." Lyrian said before using the Shadow skill.

Immediately, the wolf turned into the same purple haze that it formed out of and entered Lyrians shadow without a trace.

After this, Lyrian sat down and closed his eyes. He was going to stick to his original plan of cultivating, even with everything that had just happened.

After all, what else was there to do? The snakes weren't going to be a problem either, as nowadays, he could sense their presence if they got about 10 feet near him when using Gale, as their bodies also contained a bit of mana.

***

Cultivating and training away, a year passed. Lyrian was now 9 years old and was an average height for his age.

His body progressed nicely over time, but most of all so did his cultivation. At this moment, he was on the brink of finally breaking through into a rank.

So far, his stats always showed [Rank: None], but after this, he was going to rank up to an actual rank, which he was yet to know what it even was.

Sweat poured down his forehead as he sat inside the mana alcove, cultivating away with Gale.

[Mana: 98/100]

He had been waiting for this day for far too long. Soon, he knew he was going to have to get an actual darn cultivation technique somehow, since Gale was simply too slow.

[Mana: 99/100]

In fact, a few months prior he checked some of the more expensive stores in the marketplace and found some low-level cultivation techniques for sale, but the price nearly made him faint right then and there.

[Mana: 100/100]

By this point, Lyrian had the entire day cultivating without eating or sleeping, and since he did it last night as well, he was extremely exhausted but kept going.

Finally, a green aura began to form around him before encircling him in multiple directions.

Out of nowhere, his body began to float slightly as the green aura hastened, and before he knew it, his entire body was off of the ground.

It seemed to have some sort of glow, but all Lyrian felt was an immense pressure at his core.

Finally, the core burst its mana throughout the body, instantly empowering bones, flesh, tendons, and veins while expanding the meridians as it coursed through.

The feeling was satisfying yet painful at the same time, but in the end, Lyrian opened his eyes to a beautiful sight.

All the colors around him were vibrant and everything was more clear. Right now, it felt like he could smell the rocks around him and hear the bugs on the floor.

Standing up, he felt as light as a feather, driving a smile to his face. He could feel the new power in his body.

*Ding* [Congratulations! You have broken through into the Genesis rank, Layer: 1]

"Hahaha! Finally!" He grinned.

This was monumental for him, as it was a goal he was trying to reach for ages. Now, so many doors that were previously closed were opened up for him.

Out of everything that this new rank meant for Lyrian, he most of all wanted to try magic, right now!

Since the beginning, the purpose of cultivating was to learn magic. Now that he had broken through into the first official rank, he wanted to see if he could actually do it.

Before that, however, he quickly opened up his stats to see where this new Genesis rank placed him.

"Gear, open up stats."
