(With this system, becoming rich is just a simple matter. First, let's open your status.)
Zayden asked, "How do I open it?"
He had spent most of his teenage life playing online games, so he was already familiar with what a "status" was.
(Just say 'Status' and clap both of your hands.)
Zayden followed the instruction.
The moment he did, a holographic screen appeared in front of him. It was about the size of a 48-inch television, glowing with a beautiful red and black futuristic design.
"Whoa… this is really nice," he admitted, impressed.
The interface looked like it was straight out of a next-gen sci-fi game.
He then began reading the contents of the status screen.

He took a while to finish reading the status screen, then scratched his head.
"What are these 'Frame' and 'Generator Points' supposed to be?" he asked.
(I think it's better to explain with a practical demonstration. First, exit the status screen and go to the Main Menu. Then choose the Construction Menu, and select [Generator Reactor].)
Zayden followed the instructions. As soon as he selected [Generator Reactor], a massive holographic structure hovered in front of him.
(Now, place the reactor wherever Master desires.)
"I see… so this is like one of those kingdom-building games," Zayden said as he started to understand how the system worked.
He moved his open hand and pointed toward a flat patch of ground. The moment he confirmed the location, the structure began building itself as it was rising from the ground in a seamless animation.
In ten seconds, it was complete, and it was huge.
It was a towering hexagonal structure made of dark, metallic alloy, with glowing blue lines running along its surface like veins of pure energy. At its center floated a bright, spinning orb, encased in rotating energy rings that pulsed softly with power.
Thick cables extended from its base into the earth, as if it were drawing unknown resources. A low hum vibrated through the air, and faint symbols glowed along its surface.
(The Generator Reactor is the heart of your creations. It produces Generator Points, which are used to build and upgrade other structures. All created buildings are stored in the Structures Menu. Now, check the reactor's information.)
Zayden followed the instruction.

"So this thing will provide energy to the surrounding structures?" Zayden asked.
(Yes. That's why you need to focus on protecting it if it ever gets attacked.)
"Wait a minute. Attacked? Who's going to attack it?"
(Moving on.)
GENIE abruptly walked away.
"Oii!"
'Did that sound very concerning? This woman… she's definitely hiding something,' Zayden thought.
(As a starter, the Generator Frame will offer you an option to choose one out of four Starter Generator Mines. Please make your selection.)
As Zayden walked closer to GENIE, a new screen appeared in front of him. It displayed four structures, each with a brief description.

Zayden looked at each of the selections, deep in thought.
"The monster one sounds very scary. Does that mean I'll be creating monsters? Nope, no thank you. Plus, it takes up all the ten slots."
"The skill one... hmm, doesn't seem that important either. Well, I've heard that top-tier dungeon hunters all have their own unique skills. But I'm not aiming to become one of them, so this is out."
"Now it comes down to weapons and items. Ermm... I think I'll go for weapons, for self-protection. Especially since she said something a bit disturbing about being attacked earlier…"
Zayden then chose [Weapon Generator Mine], and just like with the [Generator Reactor], he needed to place it wherever he wanted the mine to go. He placed it beside the reactor, and immediately, the building began constructing itself. It was a square-shaped structure with a single door at the front. Its design resembled the reactor's with futuristic design.
(Let's go inside.)
Inside the structure, he saw a glassed chamber further in. Along the walls were multiple openings with tubes leading into containers positioned below them.
(This is the escalator. It will let you access all your underground floors. Right now, no floors have been created yet. I'll help you make your first one.)
GENIE moved her hand across the screen in front of her.
(Now, I've created the first floor of this mine. At Level 1, it will generate one weapon Data every six hours. But, for the sake of the tutorial, I'll speed up the process.)
She waved her hand again.
Suddenly, Zayden heard a mechanical hum, like the sound of an engine drilling deep. Then, from one of the openings, a gray sphere rolled out through a tube and dropped into the container below. Zayden stepped forward and looked at it. The sphere was about the size of a football.
"Is this... the weapon Data?"
(Yes. Please use the skill Decipher. Place your hand over it.)
Zayden reached out and grabbed the Data. It felt strangely weightless in his hand. He then spoke:
"Decipher."
The Data began to glow. Its surface shimmered, and then it slowly morphed in shape as it stretching and transforming. Within seconds, a sword materialized in Zayden's grip. It had a sleek, long white blade and a finely crafted hilt, designed with elegant precision.
As soon as the transformation completed, he felt the full weight of the weapon settle into his hand.
(Congratulations. You've successfully produced your first Data.)
GENIE clapped softly, an approving smile on her face.
Zayden raised the sword and gave it a test swing. It was surprisingly easy to handle, balanced, smooth, and sharp.
He looked at the blade, and suddenly, a small screen appeared beside it, displaying its information:
