I start with the basic human body tightening then condensing the bones, compounding and adding muscle tissue as well as creating new muscles.

I add a long monkey tail that can be used to deftly grab things and be controlled like a fifth limb of sorts.

I take the ears elongating them into ones highly similar to a fennec fox’s, and this is where I separate the genome into two different races.

One I give antlers, increased intelligence with it telepathy through the use of the antlers, along with telekinesis, increase mana control and mana cultivation ability.

The other instead of antlers get cat eyes, with sharper larger canines on the top and bottom jaw.

I enhance their sense of smell and make their ears slightly bigger.

I compound then densify their bones and muscles, even strengthening their tail a bit, all in order making them leaner faster and stronger.

I also increase their capacity for growth, while increasing their endurance and give them larger adrenaline glands.

I name the race with antlers, Regals.

I name them this because of how their antlers curve around their head to the front, before going out to the side similar in a way to a crown.

I name the race without antlers and greater physical capabilities as well as senses, Wildes.

I place the two races near each other on the eastern continent, separated from each other but near enough to discover each other within a few decades.

I begin creating humans but give them each the strength of 10 men or women depending on gender.

I make their muscles and skeletons denser while restructuring their organs for more durability.

I give them night vision and increase their adrenaline gland efficiency while making their bodies able to withstand frequent adrenaline bursts, without damaging them.

I alter their running speed to 40 miles per hour, making their muscles joints and ligaments more flexible, then give them better dexterity, as well as hand-eye coordination.

After finishing work on the humans I begin working on elves.

I create the elves in both brown, pale, and dark brown skin tones, each with genetic tribal face tattoos.

I give them colorful hair ranging from blue, red, yellow, green, purple, orange, white, brown and black.

I make their eyes reflect those same colors before moving on to deeper biology.

I strengthen, compound and condense their bones, muscles, and organs, restructuring them for durability and speed.

I give them the strength of 5 men, while enlarging their chest cavities, and the respiratory system a bit to provide them with increased endurance and power from increased oxygen intake.

I place the humans on the eastern continent and the elves on the western continent.

I start making dwarves similar to humans but with large bulky muscular powerful builds each dwarf ranging from 4 to 4 ½ feet tall.

The common skin tone brown, the men have full thick beards.

The women completely without facial hair but having thicker eyebrows and short, stout, busty builds.

The dwarves are highly durable compared to humans and have the strength of 20 men.

Their hands capable of punching through steel, but they are slow, with shorter yet more powerful legs hindering their speed, but these same legs enable them with devastating kicks.

I place the dwarves on the eastern continent.

With most of the favored races complete, I take a break to look at Myc and Vela.

Apparently, they’ve been hard at work because they have a whole village of kids and grandkids now.

Hi, guys oh wait…

“Hello Myc, hello Vela I see you have quite a family now.”

They keep bowing reverently along with the rest of their family, but this time just as I’m about to start on my next task, Myc actually talks to me for the first time.

Myc asks, “Great One what is our purpose?”

Reflecting on Myc’s question I think about it for a while before answering. I direct my gaze back at Myc I see him trembling, perhaps I waited too long poor thing is scared I might be angry.

I answer Myc, “You see that world over there.”

Myc nods frantically.

I continue, “I want you and your people to oversee it for me monitor it and let me know of any developments that will change the path the people walk or affect the world on a global scale of some kind.

You and your people will be my Overseers.

Soon I will be making Guardians to protect my creations from outside and major threats.

You will see this, and both you and the Guardians will report to me.”

Myc bows his head reverently and replies, “Yes oh Great One, but what… what may we call you, what is your name?” 

My name… My name… I feel like I used to have one but, I… I can’t remember it.

Ethereal… Yes, perhaps I’ll simply be called by what I am, Ethereal.

I gaze back at Myc before finally opening my real pair of massive swirling blue eyes like bottomless pits see everything about him, his desires, his thoughts, his emotions, his needs everything, and I answer.

“You shall call me Ethereal!!”
