The ground continued to shudder as the pyramid was birthed. Its presence forever scarred the landscape, never to be forgotten even after the night and battle were lost to time.
Han stared at the structure he had built.
On the sides were rows of statues. There were humans, beasts, and undead women garbed in armor, ready for battle. The curves of the women were distinctly visible, shapely, and desirable while also showing their fierceness.
Some statues had braided hair, and a few had short hair. There were even two that had hair that reached their ankles. The beast women each had different features to designate what type of animal they were connected to.
Their weapons were also diverse, some using short-range, some mid-range, and finally long-range.
Along the steps that led to the top were immense statues as though guarding the path where their Master would be watching the entertainment.
Han enjoyed how they encompassed their feminine features while still conveying an unflinching presence.
Between the larger statues were bowls, and when Han snapped his fingers, each blossomed a raging inferno from inside. Despite the lack of fuel, none of the fires revealed any indication that they would go out. Summoned by their Creator, the balls of fire would continue to light the path until they were unneeded.
"Magnificent, Master," Helania said where she stood slightly behind him.
--------------------
Brittany stared at the pyramid where a flat field used to exist, destroying any evidence of the path used by people on their way to Leaf Village.
"Now, everyone will be able to witness the greatness of the one that owns every inch of my body, mind, and heart," Brittany breathed out in a whisper.
As though wanting to burn the temple that her Creator built into her memory, Brittany slowly inspected every inch of the new world Wonder.
The rock that made up the entire structure had a worn weathered appearance, as though it had been constructed thousands of years ago. With the statues and the fire, it had an eldritch cosmic presence -- a monument to preternatural powers beyond human comprehension.
As she started from the bottom to slowly look up to the heavens, Brittany felt humbled by her Master. Just as she was tiny compared to the mountainous display of power that was the pyramid, it was clear how her Master transcended beyond what anyone could imagine.
As she stared at the pyramid, Brittany felt her body begin to heat up -- waves flowing from her groin as it began to leak out juices, sliding down her thigh. Her body trembled in excitement, joyful to be part of something as wonderous as what her Creator was designing for this reality. It was beyond her comprehension.
As Brittany looked at the top, images of her Master piercing into her body, asserting his dominance as though announcing to the world she belonged only to Him, flashed into her thoughts. The vision was so realistic that she couldn't help but moan in pleasure. Brittany even felt her body prepare itself for the blessing.

"That should be large enough," Han said.
Han craned his head back to look at the massive structure larger than any pyramid on Earth, whether it was the Great Pyramid of Giza or the Great Pyramid of Cholula.
With its massive size, Han wouldn't be surprised if it could be seen from miles away.

On top of running away from the village, Han imagined the tremors from his actions caused greater panic from people imagining it was an attack from the Lunar Empire. The few guards waiting for the invaders to arrive and hoping to buy more time for the residents were now frantically attempting to grasp what he had created.
"Let us get ready to watch as Queen entertains our guests," Han moved to the stairs.
Even though he had created The Stronghold, Han still felt the experience of walking on something he made to be alien. Not much time had passed since Han would've been considered an ordinary and unimpressive person, and now when he gained his abilities.
Despite the age of the structure, as Han stepped on the first steps, the massive blocks had a feeling of age -- as though they had existed far before he created them minutes ago.
"It just shows how our perception of a matter can affect how we interact with it," Han thought to himself, lost in his own amazement at what he had created.
Han sensed that his emotions were similar to what artists felt after they had created artwork. Though an artist knew that they had been the ones responsible for what they could see, there was still a childish amazement at seeing the thoughts and emotions manifested into the shared reality.
Due to the size of the pyramid, the journey up the stairs was relatively long, but Han was surprised by how he didn't need to stop. Han thought back to how just going up several flights of stairs would make him increase his breathing and have his thighs burning due to the exertion.
"I wonder if my body has strengthened without me even realizing it? Is it possible that I unconsciously willed my body to adapt, and it has?" Han wondered.
Since Han had been an ordinary human not long ago, there was no telling what other things had changed. He was now entering an area devoid of any benchmarks and reference points.
The sounds of the fire roared from the occasional breeze, the light flickering across the stone.
As Han looked ahead, the appearance was like walking up a stairway to heaven.
Helania and Brittany were quiet as they followed several steps behind him.
Thanks to how calm his creations were, Han didn't feel bothered by how bizarre his current situation was. He appreciated his creations as he walked the path of his new journey.
Soon, Han's vision was filled with the flat area at the top of the pyramid.
The area was larger than the average homeowner's property, making him imagine it wouldn't be odd to hold ceremonies on top.
Stepping onto the central area, It was as though the heavens were his ceiling and the sky his walls. The view was breathtaking and made Han pause to let it soak in.
The sky was a dark canvas while the stars and moon lit the night.
As Han looked at the moon, he was tempted to add another but decided against it at the last moment.
Just like on Earth, Han couldn't help but marvel at the moon and wonder what secrets it held.
Smelling food, Han looked to see Brittany next to several tables prepared with a bountiful spread of dishes for him to enjoy.
Even several pastel-colored globes floated and provided diffused light, not enough to ruin the wonderous view of the sky but instead adding to the atmosphere.
Han made his way toward the edge.
Soon, the endless view of the night was broken up by the ground below them. Off in the distance were forests and what appeared to be villages.
Though the area appeared to be empty, not that Han stood on top of the pyramid and had a better view, he could see that it wasn't as remote as it appeared.
"I doubt it will stay remote after tonight," Han chuckled.
Below him, Han could see Queen standing in the middle of the road, which used to lead to Leaf Village.
Han inserted his will into the top of the pyramid. There was the sound of stone sliding against stone as a giant pillar emerged. It continued to rise up far taller than any human.
At the base of the pillar were armrests and a seat.
Sitting, Han made some minor adjustments to help him feel more comfortable.
Even after he sat, Han had a great view of what transpired on the ground and allowed him to watch his creation's performance.
In the distance, a sizeable army was marching towards them despite the ground splitting open, and a pyramid birthed from deep within the planet.
Helania stood on his right side while behind the chair, Brittany was organizing food for him to enjoy
Watching Queen, Han heard footsteps.
Brittany rolled to where he sat with a serving cart and several plates with different food. There were even decanters, one with red and the other with white wine.
Even from where he sat, Han could smell the fruit used in the wine -- letting him know that they were likely sweet wines. There was also the smell of honey-roasted ham, steak, brisket, and ribs. On different plates were fire-roasted vegetables.
"You have done a good job, Brittany. The food smells lovely, and I enjoy eating it while we watch Queen handle the Empire soldiers." Han complimented her.
"Thank you, Master," Brittany bowed. "The chefs are honored by your enjoyment. I will inform them that you are pleased by their work."
Even from where he sat, Han could tell that the various portions of meat were tender and overflowing with juices. "They have done a wonderful job, and I appreciate how they work hard for me."
