NOVEL WEB 10-Planetary funtions
With the influx of new knowledge flooding his mind, Carter felt a profound shift within himself. His very essence seemed to expand. He could sense it—the power was greater than anything he'd experienced before. The equations, the understanding, all of it had opened up vast possibilities. But with that came questions—questions he couldn't shake.
Carter continued to fully comprehend the equations,The weight of his newfound abilities. His thoughts wandered, pondering his place in the universe, the reason behind this transformation. Why him? Why had he been given such authority, such unimaginable power?
"Hey system… what exactly am I?" Carter asked aloud, his voice tinged with uncertainty.
[SYSTEM]
The host is an ever-evolving celestial body.
"Is that it?" Carter's brow furrowed. "No further details?"
[SYSTEM]
That is all the information I can currently provide. If the host wishes to understand more about his existence, the host must continue to evolve.
Carter let out a long, exasperated sigh. "Blues clues, huh? Always dodging my questions. Whatever…" He shook his head, knowing the system wasn't likely to give him more answers anytime soon.
[SYSTEM]
The host has now reached the stage to support life and possesses the equations necessary to create it. Would the host like to enter the Planet Functions tab?
Carter's attention snapped to the screen. His curiosity had been piqued, and this was the moment he'd been waiting for. "I was just about to. Yeah, direct me toward it."
The screen flickered and presented a series of options:
Population: The number of inhabitants to populate the planet.
Mountain Ranges: The size and formation of mountain ranges.
Plantation: The variety and density of plant life.
Oxygen: The level of atmospheric oxygen.
Pressure: The atmospheric pressure of the planet.
Sea Level: The height of the ocean's surface.
[SYSTEM]
The host has acquired all the equations needed to establish the properties of a habitable planet. Would the host like to begin?
Carter's heart raced with excitement. His mind buzzed with possibilities.
"No need to ask, system. Let's do this."
And as he prepared to act, his curiosity swelled even further. What more was there to him, to his powers? Was this just the beginning? Or was something greater waiting on the horizon?
[SYSTEM]
The process of transforming into a habitable planet must begin with the creation of an atmosphere. The host possesses the necessary equations for oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide. However, initiating volcanic activity will stabilize the environment further.
Carter paused, considering the system’s advice. "Volcanic activity, huh?" he muttered to himself. He wasn’t a geologist, but he knew enough to realize that volcanoes had played a crucial role in shaping Earth’s atmosphere in its early stages. The idea of creating volcanoes—actual volcanoes—on his own planetary body felt bizarre, but at this point, nothing seemed out of reach.
"So… volcanic activity. I guess that makes sense. It’ll pump out gases to help the atmosphere form, right?"
[SYSTEM]
Correct. Volcanic activity releases gases such as water vapor, carbon dioxide, sulfur, and other volatile compounds necessary for the host's atmosphere to achieve balance.
Carter floated in the silence of space, reflecting on the enormity of the task. He wasn’t just creating an atmosphere—he was setting the foundation for life itself. It was like playing god, but on a scale so massive it made his head spin.
"Alright, system. Let’s do it. Start the volcanic activity."
[NOTICE]
3 million celestial energy used to create volcanic activity.
The moment he gave the command, Carter felt a strange stirring deep within his core. It was as if his entire being was shifting and groaning, the energy within him bubbling to the surface. In an instant, he felt the ground below him—his own surface—tremble as massive fissures appeared, glowing with molten energy.
Across his form, massive volcanoes erupted into life. Molten lava spewed from their summits, and streams of magma coursed across his surface, painting it in fiery red and orange. With each eruption, gases were released—carbon dioxide, nitrogen, water vapor—slowly forming a thin atmosphere around him.
“Whoa…” Carter muttered, captivated by the transformation. He could feel the intense heat from the volcanic activity, the molten rivers reshaping his surface, turning his barren form into something entirely new.
Ordinarily, this process would take millions of years for a planet to naturally generate an atmosphere. However, Carter, using his celestial energy, had sped things up to a near-instant transformation. His power allowed the volcanic process to unfold at breakneck speed, bypassing the slow churn of geological time.
[SYSTEM] Atmosphere created. Step one complete,
