Now, how to go about this? I have read enough novels to know that if I'm careless I'm going to end up making a crazy psycho that will try to murder me as soon as I turn my back, so I need to think this through; first, let’s make some pen and paper so I can write my ideas down.
1. He’s gotta be honest and non violent.
2. Gotta like me as a person, no pervy stuff, just friendly.
3. Must be visually pleasing, don't want him to resent me for making him ugly.
4. Gotta make him smart, for the same reason as the last one.
5. Has to be a genuinely nice guy.
And that's it. I know it’s kind of lackluster, but cut me some slack, this is the first time I'm doing this. So I concentrate, flex and repeat my list in my head over and over again, this time I'm doing this with my eyes open to try and fix any visible mistakes I could make, but the process seems to be going smoothly, and I watch as millions of shinny particles agglomerate into a single orb of light that slowly starts to take a human form. I feel myself weaken as it, no, he starts to gain color, and I see how a male of around 20 to 30 years old, kind of good looking, with a friendly and peaceful smile on his face starts to form. But he is naked! I'm not okay with this!!! So with a quick thought I make a suit appear on his body, a nice, nudity covering, black suit, don't know why I went for a suit but it fits him, and as I feel the last of my strength leave me I see a blue screen.
Congratulations for making your first god! Please, chose his main domain.
.......God?.....GOD!!! I MADE A FUCKING GOD?!?!?!?! HOW IN THE BLOODY VOID DID I MAKE A GOD!!! I just wanted a friend to hang out with, not a FUCKING GOD!!!! What am I going to do? What if he starts demanding stuff of me? He is a god, he can do whatever he wants. I sneak a peek around the blue screen and look at him. A GOD! He looks just like a normal dude, but this screen says he is a god, and thankfully he is not moving, not even blinking, do gods blink? No, that's not important now, what´s important is that I made a god and that he is not moving, so I have time to think, which is good because even with my unusually chill new personality, I'm freaking out.
Oookaaay Marco, try to calm down and think. You made a god (somehow). He probably will be thankful you made him. And you concentrated really hard to make him a cool nice dude, god or not he is meant to be friendly, so probably he will be a friendly god, and if he is friendly you have a god friend who can explain what happened to you. Yes, that sounds like a good plan. Now I just need to pick his domain and later gently ask him how in the black void I made a god, and why am I here. So a domain for a god… if I'm not mistaken a domain is something the god is especially good at or concerned about. So what, make him the god of friendliness, so he will be extra friendly. No, I think he will probably be pissed about that, friendly or not is like making him the god of ducks, useless, so the god of knowledge, so he has all the knowledge I need and can answer all my questions, I mean that sounds decent; it´s a cool domain and is useful to me, so I guess I will go for that.

Now, how to make the selection, I try to click the blank space in the blue screen but my hand just goes through, so that's a no go. Next, I try to focus on the screen and will it to change that blank space to say knowledge, and it works, after a bit of effort and a sensation very similar to that of using my powers I see it change, and this new god is again surrounded by millions of particles of light that congregate into his body at an astounding level of speed. After what feels like an eternity but was probably just a few intense seconds the light show ends and the god blinks.
He looks at me, looks at his hands, flexes them and then goes to one knee and says
"Father, I thank you for this life" his voice deep and respectful.
"Wait a second, what do you mean by father?" I sired no sons or daughters in my life.
"Just what the world means father, you gave me my life and for that you are my father for all eternity. Now what do you need of me, for what purpose was I created"
"Wait just a second, I need time to think" and think I do, what he says is true, I did create him, but I didn't expect for him to see me as a father, more like a friend, he is a god, how can I be the father of a god? It doesn't make sense.
"Are you well father? You look distressed" he said with a worried tone.
Me distressed? no, no, no.... YES! Of fucking course I'm distressed! Not only have I made a GOD!!!! He thinks I'm his bloody father. I have every right to be distressed but I have a bad feeling that I shouldn't say how I truly feel, so lying to a GOD time it is. "No, I’m fine, just a bit surprised is all, you are my first god after all". I’m spewing so much bullshit right now I am kind of impressed with myself, need to keep the act up
"I understand father, and I´m honored to be the first of your sons, but if I may be so brass I would like to know my purpose" his tone taking a serious turn.
"I see" what do I do, can't say he's an accident, even normal children don't take that well and I can't risk him being angry or depressed, who knows what he could do… Ok, play it cool, he´s a god and he wants a job, sooo…
"Your purpose is to guide the future gods and mortals I will make. Don't give them all the answers just a soft push in the right direction if they are working hard to gain new knowledge." Oh, god! I’ve just promised I will make more like him and a world full of mortals, I am royally screwed! And I was just praising my bullshiting skills, I suck at this
At that he gives a serious nod before smiling and saying "I knew father had great plans, and I will play my role to the best of my abilities. Now father I will take some time to think of how to best play my part."
