Game Creator System [LitRPG]

- Natalie POV -

While I was eating breakfast, every 30 seconds my gaze moved to the screen of my cell phone, looking at the clock and hoping that the time would pass more quickly.

“Natt, you've got to calm down, I know the game update is going to be fun, but looking at the clock isn't going to make the time go any faster.” My mother said as she laughed a little.

Looking at my mother, I sighed.

I knew she was right.

And I couldn't even say that she didn't understand how I was feeling because she had also become as addicted to Runestone as I had.

Unfortunately she only had 4 MP, so she could only play Runestone for 3-4 hours a day.

But looking at her body, I had to admit, those 3 to 4 hours of daily play over the last two weeks were already showing results.

She was never fat, but the little fat she had left on her body was drying up fast.

If someone looked at her now, chances are they'd think she was just my older sister instead of my mother.

But I was happy about that.

Because she liked Runestone so much, her plans to leave were canceled, making her stay, which was only supposed to last two weeks, now increase to a month with no deadline.

As my father was opening some branches of the company in other countries, he spent so little time at home that it made no difference whether my mother stayed here with me or alone at their house, so she only stayed here with me when my father was traveling and I intended to stay with him at their house when he returned.

“I know, Mom. I'll try to distract myself a bit until it's time for the game update...” I said as I turned my cell phone screen down and tried to get the game out of my head.

It was 40 minutes until the update was released and I couldn't stop thinking about it.

Hearing what I said, my mother laughed even harder, making me roll my eyes.

“You know, I find it strange that you decided to live alone to become a Player, but you haven't gone out to raid a dungeon once this week... are you giving up on that idea?” She asked me with a small smile at the corner of her mouth.

I was embarrassed by her pointing this out, since I hadn't actually been out raiding a dungeon this week, but I had an excuse.

“So, Mom, it's because I'm at a critical point in my Mana advancement... if I play Runestone more today and tomorrow my Mana will rise to a full 7 Mana Units, which will make me feel safer in the dungeons, which is why I told my group that I'd be off training for a week.” I said, trying to sound serious.

She just looked at me laughing, and didn't say anything else.

After that we chatted about other things, family gossip, what we were expecting for the Runestone update, some stories about a neighbor, new dishes she was learning to make, and random things.

Before I knew it, my cell phone beeped with a new notification.

Looking at the screen, I was shocked by what I saw.

[FrostHaven Entertainment posted on Whisper: Season 01 has just arrived and...]

I didn't even finish reading this notification and quickly ran to my room and entered my conscience into Player Core to connect to the game.

After the FrostHaven logo disappeared from the screen, I was in the Runestone tavern.

What surprised me was that unlike when I connected to the game before, where I found myself in the calm and quiet tavern, this time I started to hear some very interesting music!

'It sounds like music from medieval movies! ' I realized and found it very amusing.

Unbeknownst to me, this music alone made me even more excited to see what would come next in the game.

Looking around quickly, the appearance of the tavern hadn't changed, but there was a new notice board on the wall.

'This must be the new Battle Pass! ' I thought excitedly.

Walking quickly over to it, I looked at the quests and saw that this was very similar to the quests that the event had, but with some quests that updated daily that weren't in the event, since it only lasted one day.

Turning my gaze to the rewards, I was shocked at how many there were!

The most basic rewards were packs of cards!

From what I'd seen in the quests, as long as I played a few games a day I could get a card pack reward to open every day without spending any gold coins!

'This way I'll be able to complete the missing cards so that I have all the cards in the game quickly! ' I thought excitedly, until I remembered FrostHaven's post warning that 140 new cards would be added in this update. 'I guess it'll be a while before I have at least one of every card in the game...'

After the card packs, the first different reward was a cute little red ball decoration with horns for me to decorate my board with!

'That's so cute! ' I thought excitedly.

Looking at the next different reward, I saw a card back skin!

The skin was very pretty, with black and red details as if it had come straight from hell!

Compared to the Phoenix Skin I got for inviting 10 people, this skin was a bit poor... but when I looked at the next pages and saw that this skin was evolving in the next rewards, receiving fire particles that floated on the back of it, even a small pair of holographic wings and a tail that stayed on the back of it, I took that back and was impressed by the beauty of it.

In some ways this skin was even better than the skin I got for inviting 10 people, but in other ways my current skin was better, making me excited about the new skin, but not wanting to completely abandon the skin I already had.

'Good thing I can change my skin whenever I want. I thought happily.

The next reward that caught my eye made my heart stop for a second.

'What a beautiful skin...' I thought in shock, quickly taking a picture of it to save it on my computer and use this artwork as my profile picture and background on my cell phone.

My eyes were glued to the screen as I admired the beautiful demon version of Lyna that FrostHaven had made.

Lyna looked completely different, and in a way that was impossible not to love.

'Sexy, very sexy, but I'm enjoying this

Lyna was already very beautiful in the game before, but with this new skin, and seeing that just like the card back skin, this Lyna skin could evolve the further I progressed in the Battle Pass, I was shocked to see her final form.

Her beautiful wings flapping slightly, her tail swaying slowly and seductively from side to side as she looked at me with beautiful pink eyes... it made me want to stare at her forever.

When I finally came back to reality, I looked at the list of missions again, but now much more focused on it, trying to memorize and understand which would be the easiest missions for me to complete in order to unlock Lyna's skin as quickly as possible.

Having memorized the simplest missions that I could complete first, I went to my board and prepared to play, until I froze again, seeing that in addition to the option of Lyna and Shogar there were two more options for me to choose from!

'Are these the new heroes FrostHaven told me were coming to the game?!' I thought excitedly, shocked by how beautiful the two new heroes were, and interested to see what the cards these two new heroes had would look like.

Their unique cards were very interesting, perfectly matching the different playstyles they could have, which even made me want to play Faith Sunwhipser, the game's new Healer.

I used to think that if a Healer hero came into the game it would be pointless, but after seeing the effects of her cards I had to change my mind, if this was played well, dealing with Faith would be a major headache.

Returning to the selection screen, I admired Faith and Ashen's artwork for a few more seconds, especially Ashen, who is very handsome... until I turned my gaze to Lyna, wanting to choose her to play, but I was surprised to notice that something was different.

Confused, I also looked at Shogar and realized that he was slightly different too...

Looking quickly, I didn't notice that anything was different, but paying attention to both of them, I felt that something had changed.

I had to look for a good 15 seconds before I noticed some differences between Lyna's current artwork and the original.

'FrostHaven even improved Lyna and Shogar's artwork?!Wow, comparing her art to Faith's now, she really doesn't lose at all! “ I thought in surprise.

Finally clicking on Lyna and deciding to play a Casual Match, I wasn't surprised to realize that my first opponent would be a boy a little younger than me using the new hero, Ashen.

Unfortunately, although they were both archers, the boy had none of the aura that Ashen had, leaving me disappointed.

Thinking about the archer in my group in real life, I realized that he didn't have Ashen's aura either, which made me realize that perhaps I had too many expectations after seeing this character.

Putting these thoughts aside, I turned my attention to the game, excited to see how this Player would use Ashen's new cards and skills in battle.

Just like me, thousands of other Players were now online, excited to see all the changes to the game, causing Runestone's popularity to skyrocket to an all-time high, exploding in popularity even among normal people, who at that moment were watching various streams to find out what was new in this very interesting game.
