I’m still on my creating binge, so let’s go over some things.

To begin with, up to this point, dungeons have sort of just been monster holes. So I’ll increase their general intelligence, and instill a desire to create. They won’t be geniuses, but they’ll be capable of making dangerous but beautiful dungeons, full of unique monsters and terrifying traps. No two will be alike.

Shades have also just sort of existed, but I’m not sure what I could make them into. Wraiths? Necromancers? I’ll come back to them later.

Golems weren’t made by me on purpose, instead having formed because of the arrival of my first avatar. Power leaking from the torn edges of the universe combined with fragments of my will led to some gemstones gaining sapience, and eventually telekinetic control over surrounding stone and earth. The only reason they mostly use humanoid forms is because of leftover unconscious impressions of what my first avatar looked like.

Dragons sort of just evolved on their own, not really following either Akira or myself.

Now I know that I’ve been sort of generalizing races, but I’m really only talking about majorities. A majority of orcs follow me, but some (particularly ones raised in captivity) follow Akira. After the enslavement of beastkin, I was sort of expecting most of them to convert to my side, but actually only a small fraction did. Dark elves still exist on Asyke, some who follow me and some who don’t, but discrimination against them hasn’t stopped.

Anyway, back to making stuff.

I’ll create some miscellaneous monster races, mostly as filler for adventurers to fight.

First, cancer. Not the disease, huge crabs the size of carriages with impenetrable armor and razor sharp claws to match. I’ll use all sorts of crab species for them, even though most ‘crabs’ aren’t actually. . . well, crabs.

Next, fenrir. Just a bunch of really big wolves. Dagger-like teeth and claws, and deceptively good stealth. Again, I’ll use all sorts of wolves, including dire wolves, even though they’re extinct by now.

. . .

Can I make a hydra?

I haven’t really tried to change already living creatures apart from minor details, enlarging for the demon king and Intelligence modification for dungeon cores. It shouldn’t be that hard right?

Fuyuko traversed the mansion carefully, making sure not to make too much noise, as she had been taught in her time there.

The brat she had been gifted to was about as entitled as it got, and the attitude of their parents wasn’t helping. The hierarchy of the mansion was pretty clear from the moment she stepped through the door. The goblins were at the bottom, then the orc, then the servants, including her. At the top was the brat, and of course, its parents.

Thankfully, the other servants were nice enough– including the goblins, surprisingly– and helped her get acclimated to her new role. Kicu, an older goblin, had even stolen some books for her, which really did help her. Really, most of the dark races had been exceptionally kind to her, which did leave her a bit unsure. After years of thinking them to be animals, they acted more like people than some bright people she had met. The only one who didn’t really interact with her was the orc, although that made sense considering the squad of guards that surrounded her. Kicu assured her that she echoed the feelings of the others at the least.

She obeyed when the brat’s parents called for a teapot, and held back her tongue, though now without effort.

And when she fell to sleep, her dreams were of fire.

Turns out that making hydras is really easy!

Just take two or more dragons, and merge them together into one body. Sure, it gives them all dissociative identity disorder, but it works. Some breathe fire, some spit acid , some breathe ice, some even throw lightning from their mouths! Some have wings, some just have legs, they are truly varied in their forms, second only to demons. I made a handful and distributed them all over the place. Some on Asyke, some on some other planets, and one even landed on earth. They can breed with other dragons, and pass down their multi-headedness through the generations, essentially as another race of dragons.

I haven’t really mentioned it up till now, but Akira’s and My races can still interbreed, even demons. Half-orcs, Half-goblins, and Half-demons exist, although they’re much rarer than Half-elves, Half-dwarves, and Half-beastkin. And they can be any combination! Elf-dwarves, beastkin-goblins, demon-orcs, you name it.

. . .

I think I should take a look down there. My view of the universe is far from all-seeing, so taking a little vacation in a physical shell might be nice. Of course I’ll be sure to hide my presence so as not to be noticed by Akira.

I think I’ll take the form of a demon for now, although that is subject to change. Now I say ‘form’ but really it’ll be more like an illusion. My ‘body’ will be made of rocks, assembled in the vaguely humanoid form, similar to my initial avatar.

Now for the illusion. I’m thinking almost human, with very slightly longer limbs. When it comes to actually appearing as a demon, I’ll change that up, but for now slightly too-long limbs will do. That’ll be the only constant in my disguise. I could look male, female, human, elven, dwarven, anything. I’ll answer summons, grant wishes, and (of course) take souls. Now I have no use for souls, but I can just throw the souls into the reincarnation cycle or whatever.

I won’t pick a place or anything, I’ll just show up to a summoning and start wreaking havoc. Maybe an adventurer or something will show up to try to stop me. I hope so, then I can really try to get more used to being physical again.

Alright. Let's get going.
