A/N: In the future, I'm planning on publishing this Book on other websites like Webnovel, etc. Because I want this book to gain more popularity since I will be focusing a lot on this, And sorry for my recent absence this past week something personal came up.
Note: Will be rewritten in the future, Sorry for the cliffhanger :)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Life.
There is no actual definition of what life actually is, It is merely a concept that humans themselves invented.
And how this 'Life' started is in a sense, purely unknown.
Some explained it in a form of science using evidence from the past, Some say life was created by a higher being with unparalleled power.
Well, the latter seems somewhat true. At least the one I'm creating.
The human mind is simply too fragile to comprehend such complicated things.
With just a minimum life span of a century give or take, It's already amazing humans can accomplish what it has today.
The human species' extraordinary ability to quickly adapt is what made them at the top of the food chain.
I abruptly snapped out of my thoughts.
I guess suddenly becoming a god and wielding unimaginable powers made my thoughts dwell on very deep shit.
I shook my head as I mentally tapped on the [File Upload] function.
After a few minutes, I pretty much tapped on all the animals that existed on earth and place it randomly across the planet.
And some of the animals that have a specific environment to survive are placed on a continent that has its requirements.
As I was getting immersed in the world I was creating, I failed to notice a tiny screen beside me popping up.
before I should start making humans, I need to make a creature, A being of power.
An imminent smirk appeared on my face as I continuously tapped the [Species Creation] Function.
Multiple lumps of clay appeared on my hands as I used my mind to mold it all to my liking.
In order for humans and different races of this world to quickly adapt and evolve on this planet, They must face challenges that will put them in life and death situations.
Something dangerous
Something that will force humans to do nothing but improve themselves using their minds to the fullest to dominate and win
Through conflict, they will grow stronger and this fact is backed up by history, Hence I will create beings with unfathomable power.
Divine Spirits.
Scrolling through countless novels about cultivation and magic, There are entities that resembled mythical creatures with great power that always appear in the books.
The novels sometimes call it Celestial Spirits or Soul Beasts, So to make things different I'm going to call mine Divine Spirits.
As I finish molding different types of prototypes like dragons and phoenixes and many typical creatures you see in Manhwas.
As for the source of their strength, It doesn't come directly from them.
"System-San" I called out
[Yes? And I would greatly appreciate it if you just call me system it's embarrassing...]
sorry...
"System, Since I am a God is it possible to create a completely different energy?" I said in anticipation, If the system says I can't then that would make the perfect world inside my head collapse instantly.
...
The system didn't respond and I was starting to get worried that it wasn't possible.
After a few seconds of silence, I was starting to suffocate from the pressure as my heart felt like it was being gripped by a powerful hand.
The feeling of sweat rolling down my face was present even though there wasn't, The silence didn't last long as the system responded once again
[Notification: [Task Menu] has been updated]
[I advise the Host to be more aware of what's going on...]
As the system goes silent my eyes blinked in confusion before I suddenly had a eureka moment.
"Oh yeah! The task in the [Task Menu] Function!" I had completely forgotten about it...
I mentally said interface as a blue holographic screen popped up
-----------------------------------------------
Unauthorized usage: this narrative is on Amazon without the author's consent. Report any sightings.
[Host Name: N/A]
Function
[World] [Locked] [Achievements!]
[Locked] [Settings] [Task Menu!]
-----------------------------------------------
I tapped the [Task Menu] Function and another screen popped up beside me Since I already created a planet and populate it with different kinds of animals.
The two tasks I was given should have already been completed by now.
-----------------------------------------------
[Task Menu] Resets in: 19:44:23
-----------------------------------------
[System]: Create a Planet
Reward: +1
[Claim]
-----------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------
[System]: Create Life forms
Reward: +1
[Claim]
-----------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------
There was no use pondering over the rewards it is simply too mysterious to think about it, I slowly tapped on the claim button without care.
But in the next instant was something I never expected.
An invincible pressure suddenly swept across my body, My body was stuck in place as I began to panic.
The pressure continue to rise to the point it felt like I was being crushed at the lowest depth of the ocean.
And at that very moment, Another terrifying power suddenly appeared and It was as if a fiber of my very existence was forcibly getting ripped out of me.
I tried to be tough but the excruciating pain was simply too unbearable I couldn't help but scream, In front of such terrifying power, I couldn't do anything at all.
The excruciating pain lasted for a few minutes, At this point, I could be considered a dead man with the lack of response I was giving.
The terrifying pressure subsided as it completely disappeared like it was never there in the first place.
if someone sees me right now, My body could be compared to charcoaled wood.
Another force suddenly appeared but this time it was very gentle and warm, My body healed at an astonishing rate as my flesh and bones began to recover.
My whole body was engulfed in green light.
After the light dimmed, My body was fully healed.
I frantically opened my eyes with a gasp as I gripped my chest and different parts of my body as my breath became unsteady.
I was sweating like crazy.
After a few minutes passed, "What the hell just happened to me?!" I shouted in a shaky voice, It was evident I was having phantom pains.
The interface suddenly appeared I quickly noticed that the remaining two locked functions, One opened up.
-----------------------------------------------
[Host Name: N/A]
Function
[World] [001/100] [Achievements!]
[Locked] [Settings] [Task Menu!]
-----------------------------------------------
That certainly looks very ominous...
I gathered up the strength to ask the system, "System what's happening?" Even though the severe wounds I sustained were healed.
I just that I was mentally exhausted after the recent ordeal.
[Information has been locked]
[Information will be revealed until 100 points have been reached]
I stared at the screen dumbfounded.
I would be lying if I wasn't the least bit angry, All that pain I experience just to get a half-assed response?!
I calmed myself down with a deep breath, It's not like I can do anything about it leaving me no choice but to suppress the anger I was feeling.
After a few seconds.
I looked at the Interface in front of me, I noticed that there was an exclamation mark on both the [Achievement] Function and [Task Menu] Function.
If my guess is right it should be some type of notification mark.
I first tapped the [Task Function] as I saw that I haven't claimed the task where I will need to create lifeforms.
I go on and tried to tap it before abruptly stopping remembering what had happened just a few minutes ago.
Surely It wouldn't happen again, right?
[it won't]
Oh so now you answer my questions properly? Asshole...
Although I felt like I was being unreasonable to the system it didn't answer my questions considering there was a high probability that it wasn't the one who wanted to block the information from me.
It's just that I want to take my anger out on something.
[Hmph]
Seeing the response, I couldn't help but smirk a little, It was clear that the system has a form of emotions.
Now that I can safely say that it won't happen again, I tapped on the button a bit hesitantly.
seeing that nothing happened I quickly closed the [Task Menu] screen and looked at the middle of the interface.
[002/100]
I can't help but curiously tap on it, Although nothing happened I stared at it for a while before quickly moving on seeing that there was no point in staring at it.
To continue on.
I tapped the [Achievement] function as a screen popped and the first thing I saw was 2 hidden achievements being unlocked.
-----------------------------------------------
Achievement Unlocked - [Let there be light]
Create a planet filled with life forms
Reward: Energy Manipulation
[Claim]
-----------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------
Achievement Unlocked - [Pain with Gain]
???
Reward: Space Manipulation
[Claim]
-----------------------------------------------
oh? Excitement filled me, The unease I once had disappeared seeing the rewards.
So the rewards for unlocking hidden achievements are techniques?
Although Space Manipulation is undoubtedly cool, What actually got me excited was Energy Manipulation!
I don't know why but I squealed like a little girl just now.
You see, I am quite knowledgeable about this sort of thing because I was quite adept at power scaling.
I impatiently clicked on all two.
Suddenly I winced as seemingly Boundless knowledge has been forcibly shoved onto my mind as held my head in pain.
It felt like someone is karate chopping me very hard multiple times! The pain lessens as I instantly notice that something was different.
I opened my palm and space started to ripple, I hardened my hand, and in response.
The space around me became chaotic and violent, I lift my hand and slashed at the void.
just a few meters away from me, The void suddenly opened up revealing a massive slash mark that seemingly leads to somewhere.
Loud and terrifying spatial winds were violently bursting out of the slashed area, it did not affect me in the slightest.
I looked at my palm before realizing that I can actually affect space.
"That enormous amount of knowledge I actually received was actually how to control space?!" I said out loud
I swung my arms wildly multiple times in every direction feeling giddy as blades made out of condensed space rippled throughout the void.
A loud explosion suddenly occurred out of nowhere, "oh shit" I was a bit startled as I looked in the direction where the explosion came from.
The planet got hit, More specifically one of the continents got hit
Inspecting the damage on the continent, At the specific area where the slash hit was a massive ravine that stretched a few hundred miles with a depth of more than a whopping 10,000 miles...
Maybe I should calm down a bit.
Moving on...
Along with the knowledge of utilizing Space, I also got the knowledge of using Energy manipulation.
My lip curled in excitement as I raised both of my hands towards the planet.
After a few minutes of silence, Two completely different energy gushed out of my palm heading towards the planet.
The massive influx of invincible energies slammed toward the planet until it engulfs it completely.
