I floated in space, staring down at my ringed terrestrial planet. After years of the planet colling, it was now filled with wide rocky planes, mountains and mountain ranges, and sandy deserts. Heavy wind passed through the surface, hurling rocks at 300 km/h.
"System. Show me the composition of my planet's atmosphere." I need to know what kind of abilities I will give the creatures I want to make with Life Forge before I make them similar to how earth animals are and they die due to the incompatible atmosphere.
The atmosphere of your planet is composed of 49% carbon dioxide, 40% sulfur dioxide, 3% of carbon monoxide, 2% of hydrogen sulfide, 2% of hydrogen chloride, 2% of hydrogen fluoride, 1% of nitrogen dioxide, and the other one percent are minor gas species.
"Holy shit! Its atmosphere is made of fucking poison!" If any animals from earth take a breath of this air, they will instantly die. I mean, the atmosphere is composed of 3% carbon monoxide and 1% nitrogen dioxide! "Thank god I check before I decided to make a human."
With that in mind, I went to my drawing board, imaginary, to start planning my planet. The first thing I need is water... "Well, some kind of water." With 49% CO2, this planet's surface is boiling hot. 'Just to make sure.' I asked, "System, what is the average surface temperature of this planet?"
That would be 375°C.
"As I thought. Hot enough to cause water to evaporate." If I wanted to make water, I would have to reduce the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere, but that would be boring. "Make a water with a similar density to that of oil..." I paused, shaking my head. "No, higher than oil. Even oil would evaporate in this temperature."
Well, time for crafting. "System, bring up the crafting table." If there is one.
Surprisingly, a holographic table appeared in front of me. Though, it was empty, with a single thought any chemical I wanted will appear inside a flask on the table. I could even summon a single atom.
With a multitude of materials only limited by my imagination at hand, I began crafting 'water.' I first crafted actual H2O, before adjusting it by increasing its boiling point. Soon, a flask filled with a clear liquid floated in front of me.
Inside was a 'water' with a boiling point of 1395°C. It is so dense that a human can walk on it like it is a solid surface since they are less dense, yet it acts and moves like any other liquid. Specifically H2O. "Magnificent." It was the ultimate liquid that pushes the law of nature, but I am a GOD.
Yes, I am not yet able to create something that doesn’t follow the law of nature, but this was entirely possible.
"System, how much would it cost to fill 71% of my planet with this liquid?" I asked, staring at the floating flask.
That would be 7 CE.
"Do it!" I smirked. "And let it be cool."
It will be cool.
The flask shot forward from its position in front of me and set itself directly above the planet. It then tilted, and the liquid inside, AKA water, dripped out, falling to the planet like a comet. The water droplets fell through the clouds, falling through the dry air, then touched the dry ground.
Instantly, the little droplet of water expanded into a raging tsunami that could be seen from space, drowning the entire planet in water.
The water quickly flowed through the land and creeks, rushing to the deepest part of the planet. Soon, they formed oceans, seas, lakes, rivers, and streams. With the oceans, my planet now has 5 continents, 2 on the old day side, and 3 on the old night side.
The precipitation naturally also changed, now raining water instead of rocks. Though, this water had enough density to be considered rock by human standards.
"Now the water has been made!" I shouted, "Time to create TREES! LIFE FORGE!"
Life Forge
--> Life Forge: Manually create the life form you want. *Recommended.*
--> Seed of Life: Drop a seed of life and let the life develop according to evolution. *Warning!!! There is a chance no life will develop.* *Warning! For new gods, it is recommended to pick the first option.*
If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.
I picked the first option, and a new screen appeared.
Which type of life form do you wish to forge?
--> Single-Celled Organisms
--> Multicellular Organisms
Selecting the second option, a new screen appeared showing me multiple defaults multicellular organisms, like plants, lions, and humans, and I even saw species like elves, dragons, and fairies. "Interesting."
Curious, I clicked on elves. Their average cost was 99 CE, too much for me to afford with my 52.93 CE. Humans on the other hand were 62, still too much for me to afford. "But they are still far cheaper than the seed of life I had used." I guess it was recommended for a reason.
But that gamble created my two stupid babies, so it isn't a waste.
Let's forget them and focus on the present.
I selected plants, picked a basic oak tree from the multitude, and started editing the basic makeup of the plant. First, it should be able to survive the burning heat of the planet, then changed what is needed for the plant to perform photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, plants need Sunlight, carbon dioxide, and H2O, but the chemical compound of my water isn't exactly H2O, so it won't work.
Changing the plant to use my water for photosynthesis was easy, so I moved on to the next problem. During photosynthesis, plants release oxygen into the air, which is why Earth's atmosphere is 21% oxygen. Well, mostly because of cyanobacteria, but that isn't the point.
'I am not planning on the creature on this planet to rely on oxygen, so the plant's photosynthesis should give me something else.' I thought for a while, coming to a dumb idea. "What of carbon monoxide?"
I was trying to create a world that is far from similar to earth, to the entire creatures on the planet breathing what is considered one of the most poisonous gases on Earth should be cool.
The next thing was the fact the basic rock of my planet was hard as fuck. I mean, my water has a boiling point of 1395°C. Can you imagine what the rock's boiling point would be?
So yeah, I had to make the plant strong to be able to grow from the diamond ground of my planet and use the soil for their living.
With that done, "It is time to populate this planet with plants."
I took my time forging 600 thousands different unique species of plants. It took a few hundred years, but eh. I also decided to forge 300 thousand species of fungi, which took a bit longer than forging plants because fungi were freaking hard to understand.
Now was the problem of how to distribute the plants and fungi across the planet. I wanted a different place to host a variety of different plants. I even wanted to build a forest consisting of only poisonous plants. That's why I built so many species of plant.
"Haah~" I guess I will have to plant them myself.
I went around the world, using CE to create the seed of the plant I wanted to plant before planting it. I moved through the five continents on both sides of the planet and the ocean. I didn't touch the Great Divider Mountain range, leaving it for nature to handle.
It took me a few hundred thousand years to finish my planting, but I was finally done. As I placed my last seed in a location in the middle of the ocean, I flew close to the clouds and looked down at my planet. Colorful, but mostly green, lush plants filled most corners of the planet, with beautiful blue water flowing through the mountain, lakes, and forests.
On one side of the planet, cool breezes wash through the surface, swaying the trees' leaves back and forth, and carrying pollen and flowers through the air.
On another side, a massive thunderstorm was brewing with dense dark clouds covering the sky, heavy rain bathing the land with massive lightning and loud thunder, and strong winds swaying plants back and forth.
On another side of the planet, strong blue-grey clouds covered the sky. From the clouds fell bold and strong comes white snow that covered the palm trees and ground in a pure white blanket. The newly clothed trees rose as white fairytale beings in that wintry landscape, with a freezing wind blowing through the forest.
On another side, the blazing hot sun beamed down on a land covered in warm and expansive golden brown sands as far as the eyes could see. Large dunes littered the area, with cacti standing tall and tumbleweeds bonusing around.
"It is beautiful..." I mumbled, feeling a comforting sense of accomplishment wash through my entire soul. "After 600 million years, I finally built such a beautiful planet!" I roared to the sky like a child.
After a while, I calmed down. To plant all the trees in the world, I had used up 49.9417 CE, leavening me with only 2.9883 CE. "Well, I will not be creating things for a while." Might as well uses a few million years to explore this planet.
And so I did.
The planet was really beautiful. Take that from a god.
Beautiful mountain ranges, stunning waterfalls, poisonous forests of death, snowy white planes, hills of roses flowers, fungi forest, you name it. It was beautiful and untainted by any form of animal, especially humanity. "But it is going to happen one day seeing as the world had already produced various microorganisms to adjust the balance of the biosphere and decompose decaying trees.
"What should I do now?" I asked myself, floating above the tallest mountain not part of the Great Divider mountain range, which is 25 km and located on one of the three continents of the former Night side of the planet.
"I have created water and plants, so next is natural water." It has been 30 million years, and in this time, I gained 3.21 CE. It should have only been 3, but my planet gives me .07 CE every ten million years due to the life now on it. "Can I really do anything with 6.1983 CE?"
I called up life forge and looked through what the animal section has to offer.
Single-celled organisms were cheap, but to create multiple fully evolved animals will be impossible, probably costing up to 500 CE. So I came up with the idea of creating multiple single-celled organisms and giving them the basic information on the condition of the planet and the evolutionary thing required to survive on this planet. Then I throw them randomly around my planet and let them evolve and populate the land.
It was simple, so I got down to work.
With the introduction of trees millions of years ago, the carbon monoxide level in the atmosphere has increased to 27%, with the carbon dioxide level reducing to 43% and sulfur dioxide to 22%. Everything else remained the same.
I didn't want the CO2 level to go below 45%, so I gave the cell the basic fundamental instruction to absorb carbon monoxide to survive and give out carbon dioxide as waste like humans breathe oxygen in and breathe out carbon dioxide.
After that, I filled the planet with these single-celled organisms. Depending on where they were, I gave them additional instructions. Like wings for flight, immunity from the poison for the poison and gills for taking the carbon monoxide from the ocean for breathing---
"OH!" I forgot the ocean is salty. "Let's do that right now." I had to change the chemical structure of salt to fit this planet, but it still tasted and acted the same and with the remaining CE, I filled the ocean with salt.
Now, all I have to do is wait for evolution to take its course. "So, let's wait." But first, I called up my status.

It has changed since the first time it appeared, now giving more detail. It became this after I told the system to change the way it looks. "I have about 3,290,000,000, or three billion two-hundred and ninety million years left."
Let's have fun before that day.
