-World Keeper Chapter 118As such, I began navigating the menu, selecting the option to create a new world. In reality, even though this was my second world, it was the first time I was purposely using these menus. Naturally, there were things that surprised me.
Please select the scale of distance between the new planet and Earth. If Earth has not reached the required development to unlock the appropriate distance, an additional cost will be applied.
Same Solar System
0 Points
Near-Interstellar

This list of options was a bit unexpected to me, mostly because of the last two. From modern Earth science, Cosmos and Universe possessed the same meaning. However, clearly the system defined them differently. Judging by the pricing, some things could be understood.
A cosmos should be something like a galaxy of galaxies. What we of the modern age called the ‘known universe’. On the other hand, the universe as a whole was everything. Selecting a different universe should be akin to placing the world in an entirely different reality.
Given what I had planned, I naturally selected the ‘Different Universe’ option. I did not want this new world to have the systems and energy types of Earth, which had become physical laws permeating that universe. The fact that it didn’t cost anything to select that option was a bonus.
You have chosen to place your new world in an alternate universe. Any previously bought systems applied to Earth may be bought at one half their cost to apply to a new world.
Do you wish to enter Creative Mode to craft your world personally, Template Mode to buy from the basic template choices, or Design Mode to design specific options for your world and allow the system to create it? All costs will depend on the end result, regardless of this choice.
While Creative Mode did sound like fun, I had no idea how long it would take me to personally create an entire world. I was also interested in Design Mode, but I didn’t need that level of complexity with what I wanted. The simple Template Mode would suffice. Once I chose that option, the same five choices appeared in front of me as when I first created the Earth after becoming the Keeper.
I already knew what I wanted, so I went ahead and selected the Technological World option as soon as the window appeared. And just like that, another 70 points were deducted from my total, leaving me with an even thirteen hundred. Well, at least that’s what it was by my last count. I had probably earned some royalties or advancement points since I last checked.
