Chapter 3 – The First Creation
The dingy apartment was silent, save for the faint hum of electricity. Adrian sat cross-legged at the desk, scraps of broken electronics scattered like offerings before a god. His eyes gleamed as the Tech System fed him instructions.
> [Nano-Units: 10/10]
[Crafting Smart Lens v0.1…]
A faint glow gathered in his palm. Molecules twisted, metal atoms reorganized, silicon fragments aligned. Where others would see empty air, Adrian saw the invisible dance of creation—matter bending to his will.
Within seconds, something cool and weightless dropped into his hand.
A single, transparent contact lens. Sleek. Perfect.
Adrian’s chest tightened. He wasn’t hallucinating. He wasn’t dreaming. He had just made technology that, in his old world, would have taken billions in research and decades of work.
He held it up to the dim light. It shimmered faintly, as though the future itself pulsed within it.
“Let’s see if you work,” he whispered.
He slipped the lens onto his right eye. Instantly—his world changed.
The grimy walls of the apartment sharpened into high definition. Floating icons appeared at the edge of his vision.
> [Smart Lens v0.1 Activated.]
[Welcome, User Adrian Cross.]
A digital overlay mapped every object in the room. The old lamp: Brand—local. Power usage: 23 watts. Efficiency rating: 42%. The door: Wood density: 87%. Lock strength: laughable.
Adrian chuckled, low and dangerous. It works.
But the real test was the AI interface.
“Lens,” he commanded softly, “run a facial recognition search.”
The lens flickered. His own reflection in the cracked mirror lit up with glowing outlines, pulling data in real time. Within moments:
> [No matches found in official records.]
[Would you like to create a new identity profile?]
Adrian froze. His mind raced. This world doesn’t even know who I really am… then I’m a ghost. Invisible. Untouchable.
A thrill coursed through him. In his past life, they stole everything—his name, his work, his empire.
In this life, he would build a new identity, one the world could never erase.
The system chimed again.
> [Mission Completed: Create First Invention.]
[Reward Granted: Hidden Function Unlocked – Virtual Workshop.]
Adrian’s surroundings blurred. For a split second, he was standing in a vast holographic space filled with floating tools, screens, and endless shelves waiting to be filled.
A workshop of gods. His workshop.
When the vision faded, Adrian sat trembling. Not with fear, but with the sheer intoxication of possibility.
He clenched his fists, a grin spreading across his face.
“The world doesn’t know it yet,” he murmured, “but a new era has just begun. And I’ll be the one to rule it.”
Outside, city life stirred awake—students hurrying to class, workers rushing to buses, the hum of a world stuck in mediocrity.
But in that cramped apartment, a legend had just taken his first step.
