Kaito couldn’t breathe.
Of course, he didn’t need to breathe, but the point stands.
Whatever the monster was that appeared when they woke, it was outright painful.
He was the god of the oceans, and the monster had appeared on land, far from any water, but it had felt like a sword through his gut when it appeared on Chihiro’s planet.
It defied reality. It defied his power, and the power of the grand creator. It was completely alien, and the thing that it created was just as alien.
Thankfully it was gone now, and the pain that he felt had left, but the pangs remained.
After the creator defeated it and left, Kaito and the rest of the gods of Kyou had arrived on Asyke, and began to try to heal the landscape. Although the thing apparently couldn’t affect the great one’s creations, the impact it had on the universe itself still left an aura of pain and malice.
Having such a being appear on his planet’s surface had hurt Chihiro greatly, and he was being tended to by Mitsuki, the god of the planet’s moon, despite her also being affected by it’s arrival.
It appeared that the gods of Kyou would have to keep an eye on this planet for a while. Chihiro and Mitsuki would need it.

Nakai knew their purpose. To help the creator– Akira– with anything that might transpire, and to keep her company.
But this was not something that could have been foreseen. A being that defied the creator with casual abandon, and left such a mark on reality that it could still be felt from here, many systems away.
How could they help Akira with this? They were not as strong or as knowledgeable as her, and they lacked the skill that she had.
But they were made with the purpose of helping her, and help was what she needed now.
So they comforted her, tending to her until Akira once more glowed brightly.
“Nakai.”
Akira’s voice was melodious, and though they had never heard it before then, it sounded just like they had imagined.
“Yes my lady?”
“Was there anything else I could have done?”
Nakai paused.
This text was taken from Royal Road. Help the author by reading the original version there.
The thing had shown to lack the power to affect the universe directly, possibly because Akira had made the universe. Equally, Akira couldn’t seem to affect it, nor its creations, disgusting as they were.
To bind it in chains of her own making and dispose of it in a place that it could not hurt others was the best plan, for leaving it inside the universe would have hurt all things even more than its arrival already had.
“I do not believe so, my lady.”
Akira fell silent once more, and Nakai continued tending to her.
Such things were not Nakai’s business, but they hoped that the thing would not return. It clearly had a negative effect on her creator.
----------------------------------------
That went well.
Set up my avatar as a threat, while showing a marginal weakness that also served as the reason that Akira couldn’t immediately annihilate it.
I wasn’t expecting my avatar being thrown out of the universe, but this is actually very good.
Currently my avatar and the demon king are floating a fair distance from the edge of the universe.
Let's get to creating shall we?
I’ll start with a medium star, and then make a couple of planets.
Alright, put one in the habitable zone. . . there. Give it. . . two moons, and. . . there we go.
Let us begin with the ‘higher’ demons. The kind that will make deals.
I split the first demon king in two, and mold both halves.
One, the right half, will be the Archdevil Lucifer. He will be conventionally handsome, with red skin, black hair, a goatee, solid red eyes, and a pair of bull’s horns.
The other, the left half, will be the Archdevil Lilith. Unlike Lucifer, she will be mostly black smoke, with the details of her body highlighted with orange fire. Her eyes will blaze a molten orange, and her horns will be more akin to the horns of an Impala.
They will be the rulers of the demons, higher than even the demon kings. I’ll even give them the ability to commune with me through my avatar. I don’t subscribe to the idea of the left brain versus the right brain, but I did design them with that in mind. Lucifer will be very creative and emotional, using sentiment to win battles. Lillith on the other hand, will be logical and nigh emotionless. Think Starscream and Shockwave, if they actually worked together instead of constantly betraying each other. Together, they will be unstoppable.
I’ll make a nice castle for them. . . There. It's big, grandiose, gothic and intimidating. I’ll just place Lucifer and Lilith on some thrones. . . Nice. They'll stay asleep until I finish.
Oh right, my avatar.
I think I’ll put it in one of the larger rooms. Suspended by a dozen chains and hanging in a huge room like this, it looks pretty evil. Right now the avatar is about 30 meters tall, although I can change it at any moment.
Now for the non-demon royalty.
I’ll make them appear mostly humanoid, with a few noticeable exceptions. Obviously, their skin will be different, with some having red skin, some with pale white, and others with black or grey. Some will have horns or antlers, some will have wings or tails, some will have claws or hooves, some will have fur or hair, some will have scales. Some will look almost exactly like humans, and others will look like monsters out of a child’s nightmare.
What about the cannon fodder?
Lesser demons will be more akin to animals than anything else. They will be more uniform then the ‘higher’ demons, but will still vary in specialization and use.
Alright. I’ll implant the knowledge of my existence in them and. . .
Wake.
And that's it. The prologue is finished, and now it's time for the story to begin.
It’ll be a while until humans and the other races show up, so I guess I can try to sleep again.
I’ll still focus enough to respond to Lucifer and Lillith, but I’ll mostly be resting.
I think I’ll start my first invasion around the time of the ancient Egyptians.
