[ REGISTRATION REQUIRED ] [ ENTER DESIGNATION FOR UNRANKED LIVING WORLD ] The blue system prompt hovered in front of Zee, glowing softly against the backdrop of mocking crowds and glittering high tier planets.
Creators around him were still celebrating their ranks, proudly displaying grand names for their worlds like Valerian Prime, The Solar Forge, or Imperium 1.
Zee stepped up to the edge of his platform, his gaze fixed on the dark, living globe pulsing quietly before him.
“Earth,” Zee said softly.
A brief silence fell over the nearest platforms.
“Earth?” a Creator nearby repeated, bursting into snickers.
“What kind of name is that?
It sounds like plain dirt!” “Did he really just name his world after dirt?” another snickered.
“First he builds a 104 point failure, and now he gives it the most boring name in Sector 7!” Gen glanced over, his eyes cool and dismissive.
“A mundane name for a mundane creation.
You’re wasting your allocation, Zee.” Zee ignored them entirely.
He didn’t care about their grand titles or polished metals.
To him, the name held a deep, ancient weight that none of them could fathom.
He raised his hand toward the interface to tap the confirmation button.
Before his finger could touch the screen, the dark blue surface of the planet stirred violently.
The ocean trenches parted, and the twin golden pupils flared with a surge of raw, ancient light.
Deep within Zee’s mind, the heavy tectonic voice echoed with fierce, overwhelming joy.
“E A R T H” The system interface turned bright blood red, glitching and skipping the confirmation prompt entirely.
