[Ding! +1M EXP!]

[The System has been upgraded!]

[System Level 20: 20M/20M (Max)]

[+100 Art Stores]

[Art Stores Available for Use: 880/1000 (Max)]

[Congratulations on completing the system and reaching the maximum EXP limit. You have accumulated 20 million EXP to reach Level 20 of the system.]

[Access to the 'Virtual World' feature has been unlocked.]

[Virtual World: From now on, you can sacrifice an Art Store as the foundation to create a fully integrated virtual world. Additionally, one trillion Art Coins are required to complete the creation of a living, vibrant world previously depicted through your art as a prerequisite. As the creator of this virtual world, you have absolute control over it. Do not be deceived by the term 'virtual'—at your current level, you won't be able to discern what is virtual and what is real.]

"My words fail me… So this is the ultimate potential of the Art Store System!? I've actually reached this stage… Sigh~"

Rob sighed deeply as he stared at the series of notifications floating before him.

After five and a half years of relentless effort and grinding, he had finally maxed out the system's levels, reaching Level 20. In doing so, he unlocked all the features of the Art Store System. While the first ten levels provided a variety of abilities, the last ten focused on a single, overwhelmingly powerful feature per level. These features had been invaluable throughout Rob's journey, to the point that he could no longer imagine surviving without them.

Completing the system brought Rob a sense of accomplishment, but also left him feeling slightly lost.

"Now I can't gain EXP anymore. The system can't be upgraded further… So, what should I do now? Is the system forcing me to sacrifice my precious Art Stores to create virtual worlds? For what purpose?"

"After leveling up, I received 100 new art stores, bringing my total to 120 stores available for use. Over the years, I've worked tirelessly to establish a vast network of Art Stores worldwide—planting 880 of them across more than 800 islands. Of course, I can still reclaim my stores if I choose…"

"But doing so would mean losing the corresponding territory. My Art Stores are the capital that allows me to compete with the world government for dominance… That's if I ignore my personal strength, of course."

"The idea of creating virtual worlds does sound intriguing… Especially the part about my inability to distinguish between what's virtual and real."

A surge of curiosity overwhelmed Rob.

Though his personal strength had already reached the peak of what was possible in this world—his Haki, physical abilities, and Devil Fruit powers had all hit their peak, and the skills gained from templates were similarly maxed out—he still hadn't reached a qualitative transformation. Despite his physical immortality, he lacked the qualifications to become a true god.

At best, his power level could be described as that of a Low-god—greater than a Demi-god, yet below true deities. Rob was acutely aware of this reality.

For this reason, he hesitated to sacrifice his most valuable assets—his Art Stores. These 1,000 stores were his foundation, the essence of the system itself.

Once a virtual world was created, the corresponding Art Store would be lost forever. The process was irreversible, as the system had warned him.

Though he could act as a 'god' within a virtual world, much like he did within an Art Store, the virtual worlds could still be destroyed by true strength, in contrast, the Art Stores were indestructible.

Rob understood this distinction better than anyone else.

"In the end, I can finally create the World of Games I've envisioned ever since I learned about the system's ultimate feature. Sigh~ Sacrificing one Art Store to bring a new One Piece world to life… It's worth it. Unlike this world, where the Divine Network holds sway, the One Piece world I'll create will be under my complete control. I've already completed the pre-timeskip part of the story, so I have all the material I need to bring the world to life."

A satisfied smile spread across Rob's face. The time had finally come to unveil his "World of Games" to the public.

And what was this World of Games? For the people of this world, it would seem like a revolutionary invention—a thrilling new form of entertainment offered exclusively by the Art Store!

But only Rob knew the truth. This wasn't just entertainment—it was a living, breathing world. A virtual reality game that requires sacrificing an Art Store, with its divine laws, and one trillion Art Coins, the only currency capable of purchasing limitless items from the system shop, all to create a fully functional living-virtual world.

In essence, the World of Games was a virtual reality experience that allowed its players to physically participate in the events of the manga.

This was the true essence of the World of Games.

Now that Rob had finally unlocked this divine feature, he began planning how to create this virtual world on his own terms.

"Of course, One Piece has already been decided as the first virtual world." Rob smiled as he gazed at the horizon.

The horizon was filled with the endless blue sea. Rob had been a part of this surreal world for so long that he had fully integrated into it. Yet, he had never forgotten where he came from.

Hadn't he once been an ordinary human on Earth? Though a genius hacker and a wanted criminal, at his core, he was still just a regular man—a slightly rebellious one, seeking freedom and a life without constraints.

"Looking back on my life, it all feels so surreal."

Rob stared at his reflection in the crystal-clear sea water, lost in thought. The face looking back at him now was nothing like the one he'd had in his previous life, which he had almost forgotten in the depths of his memories.

With a single thought, Rob could retrieve any memory from his vast mental library, thanks to his photographic memory.

His former face was so ordinary, so unremarkable compared to his current sharp features. Yet, why did the eyes remain the same?

"The eyes are the gateway to the soul… I am still me. Even though I've merged with remnants of the previous Rob's soul, I remain myself. That can't be changed."

He clenched his fist, shattering the water's surface and scattering his reflection.

Rob stepped away from the shore, his hands in his pockets, walking away.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"I've enjoyed everything this life has given me. Now, why not let this world enjoy what I can give in return?"

"Let's raise the curtain on the mysterious World of Games, where this time, I will control how the story unfolds."
