Its weird being alive, one second you never existed and the next second you kind of just pop into existence... well... that's how it was for me and my siblings, we all woke up around the same time and in the same place.

Each of us were floating in giant translucent spheres in the middle of a master starry void and below us was a planet. It was blue with some patches of green and yellow in some places, despite just being born I already knew the name of this planet "Earth".

We were given a task by our creator... parent?... it did call us its children when giving us our task, which by the way was to push humanity forward until they are ready to join their parents domain.

All 13 of us were going to be placed in random countries across the globe and then we will turn those cities into our domains or in the term that most players will call them "Dungeons".

Our creator the system informed us of the power we held to create and do almost anything, but we still have our limits. We aren't gods but we are god like, creator said that we could use pre existing templates for monsters, magics and materials within our domains but they encouraged us to try and make our own concept and ideas a reality.

We can't make it impossible for humanity to defeat us but we aren't supposed to make it easy either. Me the 13th and the 12th calamity was being placed in a continent called Asia, I was placed in Japan and 12th was placed in China.

1 through 4 were placed across north and south America, 5th was placed in Africa, 6th and 7th in Australia, 8th and 9th in Antarctica and 10th and 11th in Europe.

After being placed in our areas our first step was to design a physical form as well as select a theme to run with until we create a stable foundation.

I already had a starting theme in mind, creation and destruction but to be more specific creating by destroying... or would a cycle of creation and destruction be a better theme.

Life being born through the death of another, a cycle of decay and restoration. A mixture of horror and beauty, mystical yet deadly, divine with a touch of eldritch concepts, my theme would be about deception, something safe could be deadly and something horrifying could be disguised as something memorizing.

I began to create my body, at first I was unsure of what form I should take until some of the humans concepts, creatures and cultures peaked my interest, the concept of cycles was present in every human culture, the cycle of night and day and the cycle of life and death, I would use those to my advantage, the creature or creatures I chose to model myself after was reptiles and to be more specific serpentine creatures such as snakes and eels.

In my eyes they are a perfect balance of beauty and horror, humanity both fears and loves them, they are both hated and worshiped by them, they are the perfect creature to use for my image.

the concept of cycles and the serpentine creatures go hand in hand, snakes can be said to represent good and bad, life and death, creation and destruction and many times both like in the case of Ouroboros the snake that eats its own tail, a symbol of eternity and in some media a symbol of the end.

Many cultures hold serpents in high regard and I will use them as the inspiration for my many creations, but for now I will use a combination of two cultures for my physical form, Japanese and Egyptian culture will do fine.

My base body was that of a Naga, a snake with a human torso and arms, I made the scales a pale white with a slight indigo shine to it, the body was neither male nor female, silver markings like that of a tigers covered my skin, my eyes a pitch black void with orange slit pupils, an orange jagged ridge ran down my back and all the way to the tip of my tail, all four fingers on each of my hand ended in claws so sharp and shiny it put knives to shame.

After so thought I gave myself two extra eyes, one eye on my forehead with inverted colors of my primary two and another in the middle of my chest, it was completely black with orange and red speckles floating in a right around where the pupil should be.

My waist and stomach of my humanoid torso was covered in silk cloth that was meant to resemble that of a mummy, additions cloth around my neck and hands gave it the look I was desiring, a gold Egyptian style necklace with a blood red ruby for the eye catcher. 

My clothing was more like a modified kimono and a cultist cloak, it was blood red with a black trimming, the red part had a scale pattern and the insides of the kimono was laced with white fabric to contrast the outside.

The hood had the effect of shrouding my face in enough darkness to give me an ominous presence, the last thing I made was a gold staff with the head design to look like a double helix, a strand of DNA.

The last step in designing my body was its power, based of pure raw strength of a magic 30 meter long snake humanoid monster and the fact that I will become a final boss for humanity to defeat, it's best to say no normal creature on the planet other than his siblings can stand close to me.

I believe I could easily lift a hundred tons, why am I so strong already? well that is because I am one of humanities last obstacles, I'm not meant to be fought right now and I need to be strong to deter those who believe the have a shot at me, I could survive a direct hit with a nuclear bomb and by default magic of any kind is 90%  less effective against me.

I wont be fighting unless the player or players that come to me actually stand a chance, otherwise I will only enter combat to make an example or if I host an event.

When it comes to my combat magic and spells I have to work with the system, If me and my kin could give ourselves power with ease we wouldn't need to train, while we can create magic and any ability for the players and monsters to use, we the calamities have to have the system approve of the powers we give ourselves.

We make the concept power and the system makes it and we have to train it to get to the point that we imagined it. After a few days of work with the system I have my five starting abilities, Entropy toxins, Oblivion array, Light of  decay, Hollow void and Necrotic gaze.

Entropy toxins - My body is filled with a poison that rots all things but myself, my own blood causes things they touch to experience their own forms of decay, living things wilt and rot, metals rust, minerals crumble and turn to dust, water becomes contaminated and deadly, the venom within my fangs are especially dangerous as it spreads far from the injection sight and reduces the intended target to nothing once enough time has past.

Oblivion Array - I can release and manipulate a harmful energy that ravages the body from the inside out, it causes similar effects to that of radiation. If concentrated into energy based attacks the harmful effects can be multiples, were as a wave of energy would weaken and slow the target, the concentrated blast would destroy the body from the inside out or dismantled. A target could have their insides deduced to mush or have limbs and organs become separated or destroyed outright.

Light or decay - a light that gradually turns water it touches to dust, this magic is built for wide range attacks or deadly precision attacks. The light works in the same way normal light does meaning it can bound off reflective surfaces or be concentrated into beams. In addition into turning things to dust It has a mild petrifying effect on organic substances.

Hollow void - I can create small gates and rifts into my personal void, all things in this void are under my control and it can be used to get from place to place if used correctly, if any organic creature enters my void they will be weakened, then my void will start to drain them of energy and vitality, and if inside for too long they will start to melt and dissolve as my void breaks them down and eats away at them, my void could be considered an extension of my body as I can feel things inside and manipulate them, I do get nourishment from the things that break down in it. I can produce a black liquid that once still can act as a door to the void, it is very useful in combat as I could just produce void fluid and if someone falls into it they'll be stuck or if the fluid does not still and stays in motion it instead acts like a signal to inform me of their location, this is arguably one of my current most versatile abilities .

Necrotic gaze - if I use the eye on my chest to stare at a target, I can drain health points and reduce my target to a corpse which I can then puppeteer and manipulate to my will, even if the target is still alive while under my gaze I can influence their mind to an extent if they survive afterward.

All these abilities may sound very power, but in reality they aren't yet. I made the description and explained the concept to the system and they turned it into a real power, it is now my job to turn the abilities I made into what they should be, at the moment my light of decay can only cause minor damage to the surface of things and my hollow void can barely fit me inside unlike the infinite space I imagined it having.

With my physical body and abilities done, all I need to do is wait for my siblings to finish their bodies and get their abilities in order, I'm itching to get started on my domain and its new residence.
