The system may be late, but it is never absent.
Alex Klein, who had devoured countless online novels in his previous life, wasn't surprised when a "system" appeared. After all, if transmigration could happen, why not this?
But the system that bound to him… felt different.
From the moment it activated, the cold mechanical voice fell silent, leaving only a crude-looking interface that Alex alone could summon. Its design looked rough, almost like a beta version of pirated software.
It took Alex over two hours of trial and error before he finally figured it out.
The name of the system was Big Player.
Its core function: automatically generating resource packs for developing dungeons inside Infinite Time and Space. Everything—art, music, sound effects, animations—could be packaged in one click.
But there was a catch.
Every pack cost system points to unlock. And the only way to gain points was to make money inside Infinite Time and Space. For every 1 Aurelia dollar he earned, he received 10 points.
In short, Alex had to get rich through the game before he could expand his creative arsenal.
His current balance? 0.
Fortunately, the system had given him a starter gift: a complete Avatar Resource Pack and Design Document.
When Alex opened it, his jaw nearly dropped.
The art assets weren't just good—they were flawless. Characters, scenes, UI, props, animations, effects—each detail was polished to the highest standard, beyond even Aurelia's most cutting-edge VR productions.
Even areas never shown in the original film were fleshed out, turning Avatar's world into a vast, living ecosystem.
The music pack was equally stunning, filled with soaring soundscapes and immersive effects that could make players tremble with awe.
For the first time, Alex realized the true potential of this shabby-looking "Big Player" system.
And when he browsed the store, he nearly lost control of his breathing.
The Wandering Earth. Sword. Pacific Rim. Fast and Furious. Transformers. Star Wars. Iron Man. Avengers. Guardians of the Galaxy.
One after another, legendary worlds from his past life filled the catalog.
Here in Aurelia, none of these stories existed. If Alex adapted them into Infinite Time and Space, the impact would be catastrophic—shaking the industry to its core. These weren't just dungeons; they were gold mines.
Alex chuckled, excitement boiling in his chest."This… is fun."
For the first time since transmigrating, he felt true purpose. Dungeon creation.
"People should always do what they love most in life," he said aloud."Who said that?" he added with a grin."Alex Klein."
And it also right on time, opportunity knocked.
The Third New World Theme Dungeon Contest was in full swing.
The theme: New World.
Last year's contest had produced a blockbuster dungeon that skyrocketed its creators to fame. The props, character skins, pets, even emotes derived from that single dungeon had dominated Aurelia's marketplace, earning millions.
This year's rewards were even more staggering: 5 million Aurelia dollars, prime promotional resources, exclusive sales privileges, and official support.
Winning this contest was the fastest path from obscurity to stardom.
Alex's blood raced.
With Avatar's breathtaking world, a living paradise born of imagination, he could stun the judges. Back on Earth, it had captivated billions. Here, it could sweep Aurelia off its feet.
But a problem loomed.
His father had confiscated all his smart devices. No glasses, no bracelet, no net access. Without equipment, he couldn't even register as a dungeon supplier.
And even with the resource pack, turning Avatar into a polished dungeon wasn't something he could manage alone. He needed skilled people familiar with the editor, gear to work with, and—most importantly—funds.
Alex Klein sighed."Looks like I'll have to borrow from those two guys…"
