It's been almost half an hour since Henri began creating Viver.
In that time, he had perfectly crafted a man so handsome it could shake the world.
Viver exudes an undeniable charm, with features that captivate at first glance. His black, sleek hair falls effortlessly into place, glimmering with a subtle sheen under the light. His deep brown eyes are the kind that draw you in—warm yet intense, with an almost magnetic quality that makes it hard to look away. His facial structure is perfectly sculpted: a strong jawline, high cheekbones, and a straight nose, all harmonizing to create an image of quiet, natural strength and grace.
Standing tall at 1.90 meters, he commands attention with his impressive stature. His body is the epitome of masculine grace—broad-shouldered yet slim, with a lean, athletic build that speaks of both strength and agility. His posture is confident, almost regal, as if he effortlessly takes up space in any room he enters. His physique is not overly muscular, but it radiates a quiet power, the kind that suggests he is capable and self-assured without needing to prove it. The combination of his height, slim yet masculine frame, and striking features makes him the kind of man who stands out, whether in a crowd or in solitude.
Henri looked at his creation with a smile, but then his smile faded as he thought about his own appearance. At 1.70 meters, he was of average height. Though his face was above average, it had deteriorated from years of poor diet and junk food.
"I could be this guy if I had ever taken care of myself," Henri thought, a wave of sadness creeping in. Slapping himself, he snapped out of it. "No! Don't make me sad. It's time to test this game!" He refocused on the creation screen.
"Congratulations, you have created a Viver from scratch with 100% charm! For this achievement, you'll be rewarded with a $100,000 starting fund!" The same woman appeared on the screen as fireworks erupted.
"Ohoo, that's nice!" Henri exclaimed with joy, his smile widening as his excitement grew. "But not without the perfect woman." He thought, clicking on the family tab. He selected the wife and began his second creation.

"Wish I had this kind of wife..." Henri thought, salivating as he looked at the woman he had created.
She stood with a graceful yet confident posture, just a few inches shorter than her husband. Her long chestnut hair fell in soft waves, framing her face and cascading down her back. Her eyes, a warm hazel, were deep and expressive, sparkling with an inner light. Her facial features were soft yet defined—high cheekbones, a delicate nose, and full lips that seemed to carry a quiet warmth. Her figure was slender and elegant, with subtle curves that flowed effortlessly, giving her an air of natural beauty. Her presence was a perfect complement to his tall, masculine frame.
While appreciating her beauty, Henri waited for another accomplishment, but the woman remained silent. "Well, it's just a thing for the first one, I guess," he muttered, moving to the next tab labeled 'Characteristics.'
"After successfully completing your creation's appearance, you must visit this tab to enhance their abilities!" The woman with the ethereal voice appeared again, introducing the tab.
"In this tab, you can choose what kind of life they will have. You can give them a trait to make them the richest person in the world, or you can make them a successful scientist who completes countless groundbreaking research. Or, you can take a darker path—make them a criminal. Be it a drug dealer, an arms dealer, or a simple thief, the possibilities are endless. But be aware, the traits can change at any time. Only the first three traits chosen will remain until death."
"So this is where god gave me the 'Gaming Addiction' trait," Henri remarked, noticing one of the traits with the same name. "But I will give them the best! There are no disadvantages!" Henri said, clenching his fist, determination burning in his eyes. He was too serious for a game...
"Let's see... Strategic Genius, Tactical Mastermind, Psychological Manipulator, Intuitive Genius, Genius Problem-solver, Genius Investor, Infallible Memory, Cold-Hearted Rationalist, Flawless Performist, Wealth-Obsessed Tycoon." After selecting the last one, Henri tried to choose another, but the game warned him that only ten traits could be selected.
"Well, this much is enough already," he muttered, scanning the descriptions of each trait he'd chosen.
1. Strategic Genius: A mind of unparalleled foresight, he approaches every situation with a calculated and long-term vision. Whether navigating intricate political landscapes or orchestrating complex personal decisions, he always plans several steps ahead, anticipating challenges and opportunities before they arise. His ability to devise and execute grand strategies leaves others in awe of his mastery over every aspect of his life.
2. Tactical Mastermind: With an extraordinary ability to make quick, precise decisions under pressure, he thrives in high-stakes environments. Whether in business, conflict, or competition, his tactical brilliance ensures he is always one move ahead, able to adapt and adjust in real-time. Every action he takes is part of a greater, perfectly executed plan that consistently delivers success.
3. Psychological Manipulator: A master of understanding human behavior, he skillfully influences and controls the emotions, thoughts, and actions of those around him. He can make people believe what he wants them to, bend situations to his advantage, and create alliances or discord, all with subtlety and precision. His psychological insight gives him unmatched control over people and outcomes.
4. Intuitive Genius: His mind operates on a different wavelength, perceiving patterns and connections that others cannot see. He navigates complex problems and decisions with an almost supernatural sense of understanding, trusting his instincts to guide him toward the right course of action. His gut always seems to know the right move, and his intuitive grasp of situations is often uncannily accurate.
5. Genius Problem-Solver: Faced with any challenge, no matter how complex or seemingly insurmountable, he excels at finding the solution. His mind works methodically and creatively, breaking down the problem into manageable parts and constructing an elegant, effective solution. Where others see obstacles, he sees opportunities to innovate, adapt, and overcome.
6. Genius Investor: A visionary in the world of finance, he has an uncanny ability to spot lucrative opportunities before they become apparent to others. Whether in stocks, real estate, or emerging markets, his financial instincts guide him toward investments that yield massive returns. His strategic moves are rooted in both knowledge and intuition, making him an unstoppable force in wealth accumulation.
7. Infallible Memory: His mind is a vault of perfect recall, storing vast amounts of information with effortless precision. Every detail, fact, and event is meticulously cataloged in his mind, allowing him to recall them at will. This remarkable memory makes him a powerful asset in any domain, from strategic planning to negotiation, where his ability to remember even the smallest details gives him a distinct advantage.
8. Cold-Hearted Rationalist: Uncompromising in his approach to decisions, he evaluates every situation based purely on logic and reason. Emotions have no hold on him; his choices are always guided by what will most efficiently achieve his goals. His ability to detach from sentiment allows him to make difficult decisions with ease, never swayed by moral dilemmas or personal attachment.
9. Flawless Performist: Whether under the spotlight or behind closed doors, he performs with unmatched skill and poise. In high-pressure situations, he remains calm and composed, executing his role with precision. His flawless ability to perform in any scenario, whether in public appearances or private negotiations, makes him a figure of admiration and influence.
10. Wealth-Obsessed Tycoon: Driven by an unrelenting pursuit of fortune, he is a master of wealth accumulation. Every decision he makes is fueled by the desire to grow his empire and increase his financial power. His focus on acquiring wealth shapes every aspect of his life, and his ability to generate wealth in diverse industries ensures that his dominance continues to expand, leaving rivals struggling to keep up.
"With this, I can make him dominate the world!" Henri said, finishing with an evil laugh. "Oh... ah, that's not nice..." He coughed, trying to hide his embarrassment, and refocused on the game.
"After completing the selection of traits, you can choose a goal for your Viver. Be it becoming the first human to land on Neptune or becoming the world's only leader. There are countless goals to choose from!" The woman spoke again, showing him another screen where he could select life goals, lifestyles, and motivations.
"Motivation is what drives humans to push their limits! Without motivation, what could humans do? Choose your Viver's motivation—it can lead to a better future or a worse one!" she added, highlighting a new section on the screen.
While browsing through the motivations, something caught Henri's attention. There was an open space available to write, labeled "For Different Motivation Write Here. (EXPERIMENTAL)," with an information icon next to it. Clicking on the icon, a pop-up appeared.
"This motivation selection section uses advanced AI integrated into Viver to create entirely new motivations that don't exist in the standard options. Through here, you can write the kind of motivation you want for your Viver. But be aware! This is an experimental feature, and glitches could result in a disappointing outcome. Though we've added this section, we do not recommend using it at this time. Please stay tuned for future updates!"
Henri understood its purpose but was reluctant to use it after the warning. Though it was just a game and he could always create new Viviers, he didn't want to risk glitches ruining the experience.
"Let's not get ourselves in some weird shit." He said and browsed through the motivation list. He wanted something strong, something to complete his first creation, reflection of what he couldn't be..
"Hmm... Lose of loved ones, though strong push, I don't really want them to have trauma following their lives.. Greed of Power.. it looks good but the description.." Henri thought aloud as he kept scrolling up and down through the list. He needed something strong but he was cautious to avoid traumatic past. I mean who would want to have that in past.
