Sadako stood there, surrounded by resentment and hatred.

Just one glance was enough to make one shudder.

But Shen Hui, as her Creator, knew Sadako posed no threat to him.

Then a voice appeared in Shen Hui's mind.

[Congratulations, you have successfully created a Hero Unit-Sadako] [ Sadako ] [Type: Hero] [Quality: Rare] [Level: 1] [Ability 1: Physical Immunity. As a spiritual entity, Sadako is immune to all physical damage.] [Ability 2: Grudge Resurrection. Born from resentment and hatred, Sadako can resurrect infinitely as long as resentment and hatred-based negative energy are present.] [Ability 3: Teleportation. Sadako can teleport a short distance forward, up to a maximum of 100 meters. Cooldown: 5 seconds.] [Ability 4: Psychokinesis Control. Sadako reveals her deformed eye and uses psychokinesis to cause destruction or control a target's mind.] [Ability 5: Electronic Curse. Sadako can upload her image into electronic devices. Anyone who sees her image will be cursed, and a clone of Sadako will appear to hunt them down until they die.]

Seeing Sadako's information, Shen Hui was instantly overwhelmed with excitement.

She was actually a Rare-quality Hero. That was incredibly powerful!

The higher a Hero's quality, the greater their growth potential.

Common, Intermediate, Advanced, Rare, Perfect, Master, Transcendent...

That was the classification of Hero qualities that Shen Hui knew.

The maximum level of a Hero varied with each quality.

Common Heroes could reach level ten, Intermediate level twenty, Advanced level thirty, and Rare Heroes naturally reached level fifty.

A world's level was related to the number of creatures in it, and also to the levels of its Heroes.

"Sadako is immune to physical damage. That's definitely a god-tier ability in the early game!"

Most civilizations relied mainly on physical attacks in the early game, so physical immunity basically made her invincible.

Even if she wasn't invincible, and someone had the ability to kill Sadako, she could still resurrect infinitely!

Resurrection required hatred and resentment-based negative energy, but Shen Hui's world had no shortage of that!

With Teleportation, she could come and go freely, and she also had Telekinetic Manipulation to inflict damage.

Especially the last ability, Electronic Curse.

This was the ability most people knew best: crawling out of a TV, and dying after watching the videotape.

Shen Hui felt this ability was a devastating weapon against technological civilizations!

Shen Hui checked how much World Origin Power he had left.

[Death World] [World Size: 1 kilometer] [World Level: Level 1] [Created Units: 1 (Hero Unit)] [World Origin: 20]

Creating Sadako had cost 80 World Origin Power.

Shen Hui had thought he would spend all his World Origin Power.

This was already pretty good!

With a thought, Shen Hui's projection appeared in the Death World.

He stood right in front of Sadako.

A chill immediately swept in from all directions, filling one with fear and making one's spine tingle.

Sadako revealed one enormous black eye and stared fixedly at Shen Hui.

But Shen Hui knew that her gaze was friendly.

After taking a look around at the environment, Shen Hui was very satisfied.

His Ghost Story World would begin here!

Time passed in a flash. Three days later.

Shen Hui left his rented apartment and returned to school.

By now, more than half the people who had come to school were gone.

Those who hadn't awakened a world had all gone to factories to tighten screws.

The rest were all people who had awakened worlds.

As Shen Hui walked through the school, he listened to the students talking.

"I spent three days getting my world's environment ready, and I even created a unit!"

"Your efficiency is so low? You only created one unit in three days? Let's see how you pass the trial later."

"What's the big deal? The trial doesn't only look at that. I've carefully designed my environment. I'm sure it'll impress the teachers!"

"I wonder how Qingxue's world is developing. Hers is a 60-kilometer world. Just thinking about it is terrifying!"

"I heard through the grapevine that she's already developed Superpowers. Now the creatures in her world will have powerful abilities!"

"Damn, that fast? She's already developed Superpowers. Then it shouldn't take long to create a Hero, right?"

Before long, the students chatting nearby noticed Shen Hui.

"Hey, that person... Isn't that Shen Hui, who's in the same class as the campus belle Qingxue?"

"Didn't he awaken a useless world where life can't emerge, just one kilometer across? Why is he still here for today's trial?"

"Exactly. Why hasn't he gone to a factory to tighten screws? If he doesn't hurry, I doubt he'll even get the chance."

None of them understood why Shen Hui had come.

His world was useless. What was the point of taking the trial?

But Shen Hui merely looked down on them.

Shen Hui returned to the classroom. When he arrived,

the students in the class were also surprised, but they had all gone to surround Qingxue and curry favor with her.

Shen Hui was happy to have some peace and quiet.

Soon, the teacher came into the classroom and glanced at Shen Hui.

She didn't say anything, though, and then addressed the class:

"Everyone, follow me. Today is the day we assess what you've accomplished over these three days."

Everyone in the class followed the teacher into another building behind them.

Inside was a hall where everyone's worlds could be projected.

The teachers could then evaluate them.

Then a gray-haired, middle-aged-to-elderly man-the principal of their school-walked onto the platform at the front.

"Students, today is the day we assess what you've accomplished over these three days."

"You'll receive a comprehensive score based on your world's development, the changes you've made to its environment, and the creatures you've created."

"Everyone, please come forward in turn to collect a device, then open your World Origin and establish a connection."

Everyone came forward one by one to collect a device.

It was like a watch, and they had to wear it on their wrists to connect with their World Origin.

After everyone had collected one, they each found a place to sit.

Shen Hui also found a corner, then began connecting to his World Origin.

Everyone's World Origin was projected into a dedicated observation room.

Teachers inside were evaluating the worlds.

"This world is pretty good. Its basic environment has already been established, but unfortunately it doesn't have many creatures. B+."

"This student has a lot of imagination, trying to reproduce the species by breaking reproductive barriers. But this approach has already been proven unworkable. C+."

"This must be the world of Qingxue, who has the best talent this time! Not only has she established the environment, she's also created Superpowered beings and awakened Superpowers."

"Although the Superpower level is low, reaching this point is incredible! Her talent is too strong! A+."

"Wait, why is there a lifeless world here? Worlds like this are eliminated outright... Huh, why does this world have a Hero Unit in it?!"
