God of Internet

With how little time I had to start my test and launch the Internet among mortals, I wouldn't be able to read all the books in that short time and still develop other applications, so I decided to do something to get around that.

If I made the books available for free on the website, perhaps believers wouldn't value it as much, so I thought I would make something like a virtual currency on the Internet.

This currency would be something that the believer would receive for each consecutive day that he accessed the Internet.

On the first day he would receive 1 IC (Internet Coin), on the second day he would receive 2 IC, on the third day 3 IC, until the seventh day where he would receive 7 IC.

This would be a total of 28 Internet Coins for a streak of 7 consecutive days of logging on to the Internet, a very common mechanic among the games developed in my previous world, which I even used in my own game to increase user retention and try to create a routine where they played my game every day without penalty.

With these Internet Coins, users could buy the books from the App [Library], so they would possibly feel that the books were even more deserved by them, while I could create a way to not make some of the more advanced magic books available.

The more advanced the magic book was, the more Internet coins it would cost, so users could see that there was an Archmage-class magic book available for them to read, which would motivate them to collect more Internet coins, but since it would cost a lot, they would have to collect them for a long time before they could finally read that book.

By the time someone finally collected enough IC, I would have read the book in the divine world, and the book would already exist for real users.

The Apprentice Mage book would cost 1 IC, making it available for anyone to read even if it was their first Internet access, while the Arcane Mage book would cost 100 IC, the Master Mage book would cost 1,000 IC, the Sage Mage book would cost 10,000 IC, and the Archmage book would cost 100,000 IC.

Making these books cheap would reduce their value from the users' point of view, so it was impossible to make an Archmage book cheap.

But considering that a user would receive 28 IC per week, until he had accumulated 100,000 IC, he would have to use the Internet every day without fail for 74 years, something completely unimaginable, so I thought of something that could help both me and mortals.

For every new user you invited, you would receive 10 IC, which means that if a user invited 12 people to the Internet and they prayed to me at least once, the person who invited them would receive the equivalent of a month's worth of IC!

And now my main idea for making the library have a large amount of content.

If a user wrote a book for the [Library], for every sale of that book, the user would receive 70% of the IC that the readers spent to read it, thus opening the door for the users themselves to earn enough Internet Coins to read whatever they wanted, however much they wanted.

This Internet Coin part was very complex and something I could develop with much more enthusiasm in the future, but since I had little time, I left it at that and focused on continuing to make content.

I had already converted the magic books I had read for the server, but that only completed the "Personal Development" item on my content list, so to complete the "Entertainment" item, I shamelessly converted some of my memories of novels I had read in my old world into books for the [Library].

A novel about a farmer who unknowingly cultivates himself as a mage and whose chicken gradually turns into a phoenix to protect the farm was something I was sure would be a hit with mortals, since in a medieval world, the vast majority of users would be commoners.

Unauthorized content usage: if you discover this narrative on Amazon, report the violation.

To entertain nobles as well, I made novels that focused more on politics and power games.

The total number of novels I transferred from my memory to the server was 10.

Since the novels in my previous world had many chapters, instead of posting just one long chapter, I divided the novels into several volumes, and each volume cost only 1 IC.

Considering that it would take users days to read the books in their spare time, the amount of IC they would receive would be more than they would spend reading the novels, allowing them to save IC to buy Personal Enhancement books without sacrificing their entertainment.

After completing these two parts of [Library], I began to develop the next application.

[Carrier Pigeon]

While [Library] focused on meeting the criteria of entertainment and personal development, [Carrier Pigeon] would focus on entertainment and utility.

This application was made using as a reference one of the most used social networks in my previous world, mixed with the most used forum in the world, the social network that used a small blue bird as its logo, but which was replaced by a letter from adult sites as its new logo after a billionaire bought it, and a forum that used an orange robot as its logo.

The icon I made for this social network was even a blue bird with an envelope in its mouth, which made it very clear what this application was about.

Even if there were social networks with more users instead of this one, the format of this social network would be much better suited to a middle-aged world.

Users' posts would be displayed in a forum format, just like the orange forum used in my previous world, which was much simpler and more intuitive for new users.

But there was also a personalized feed for each user based on who they followed, allowing them to send messages directly to other Internet users instantly.

Since starting the application empty would have been very uninteresting for users, I myself used several fake accounts to make fake posts to give the impression that this was being used and that users were not alone in doing so, already serving as a way to show how to use the social network.

I even thought about making games to start with the Internet, but the cost would be extremely high, something I couldn't afford yet, not to mention the development time, which would be much longer than the time to make the simple applications I had just made.

But if I could get believers to constantly give me divine power, this would no longer be a problem for me, and I could let my imagination run wild.

At this point, I was already exhausted.

When I looked at the clock on the wall, I saw that it was already 3:30 a.m., and I had only three and a half hours to sleep before I had to go to school to take the final exam.

So I just dragged my exhausted body to bed and passed out.

Shortly after, I had to wake up and get dressed for class.

I just splashed some cold water on my face, brushed my teeth, and checked my status screen before going to school.

| Level: Embryonic Divinity Rank 1

| Divine Power: 3,000 / 10,000 -> 1,463 / 10,000

=========================

I've spent nearly 2,000 Divine Power points on the overall development of the Internet.

At this point, I believe that I have the least Divine Power among the students.

This might be a sign of weakness to the other gods, who only use Divine Power for battles or blessings, but to me it was an investment.

When I arrived at the classroom, I just kept my normal attitude that I had maintained for the last 7 days.

I didn't look at anyone, I didn't bother to talk to anyone, I just sat in my chair and waited for the teacher to come into the room.

The other students were chatting excitedly about today's test, for many of them it would be the first time they'd come into contact with mortals.

"I'm so excited to go to a small world... will the mortals make statues of me?" One girl asked her friend.

"I think so, from what I've heard it's quite normal for mortals to make statues of us, all we have to do is show up a few times, act wisely, give a few blessings and they'll go crazy for us." replied her friend.

Seeing the gods' disdain for mortals didn't make me angry, even though I was a mortal in my previous life, it just made me feel sorry for them, for wasting such a good opportunity because of their arrogance.

But in part, it wasn't their fault, it was more the fault of the more powerful gods who had taught them that it was meant to be that way, so they just took it as absolute truth.

"Young gods, follow me." Our teacher spoke from the classroom door.

As soon as the students heard his command, they all stood up and quickly followed him to the examination room.

Thinking that everything I'd worked for in the past seven days was for this, I felt my hands sweat a little with excitement, but an almost imperceptible smile appeared on my face.

When I realized this, I quickly hid my smile and went back to a neutral expression, thinking that no one had seen it.

But what I didn't know was that a pair of curious eyes had noticed my little smile and were surprised by it.
