OK, I finally got around to updating you guys, despite the fact that you guys are quite literally nonexistent and are just constructs of my imagination. But screw that, I fucking created a black hole while also successfully escaping, containing, and controlling it.

I think I've got the right to do what the fuck I want to do.

Ahem.

So I finally got around to creating weapons, traps, and shit. I have so much fucking energy right now that I could waste so much of it, but it wouldn't even be able to make a dent.

So yeah, anyway. As a proud American, I decided to make gunpowder. I'm pretty sure you can tell where I'm going with this. With the gunpowder, I have actually made many flintlock pistols and muskets. Of course, I added the bayonet for melee purposes.

OK before you ask. I'm making these weapons as a sort of test.

I actually plan on making sentient beings to protect me. Why? Well before I had made the black hole or even started working on absorbing the stronger and more potent energies around me. I actually got attacked.

Well, attack is an overstatement, but I was attacked nonetheless. A mole had actually broken into my chamber and was sniffing around my room. I was just observing it when I noticed it seemed to be looking at my core a little too much.

When suddenly it made a dash towards it. I was actually fucking surprised. When I realized my core was its target, probably, I used some energy to try and restrain it.

Key word. Try.

Yeah, my energy wasn't able to do anything to the mole. It just stops working when it gets too close. The mole was already slowly climbing up towards my core; at that point, I was actually scared.

It was at that point that I grabbed a particularly large rock and flung it at the mole. The mole was fucking crushed when it hit it. I felt a little guilty when I did it, but that guilt turned into a slight disgust when I saw the state the mole's body was in.

Anyway, I also got a gigantic boost in energy when it died. I also got blueprints to create my own mole after a short while. I was surprised, to say the least. I mean, I could create life. That was surprising.

That also got me thinking: if I could create life, doesn't that mean I could create humans? Or, with the plans I have on hand, a superior human.

Of course, I have refined more and more of my idea while also busying myself with the decorations in my room. Don't judge me, okay? I know I should have worked on defenses first and foremost, but tell me.

If you were to get magical powers that let us make anything you can ever dream of, what would be the first thing you'd do? A. Save the world and promote world peace. Or B. Make yourself look cooler and shit. Don't lie to me. You would do B firsshittier. re doing A. Unless you want the world to burn, then, I don't know, have fun, I guess?

OK, the first defensive building I made was an auto cannon. It took awhile for me to make it fire at anything I considered hostile, but when it did, it could fire pretty accurately.

It can actually go as far as 700 meters. That's like a third of the way to an entire kilometer. Also, yeah, whileI do get a lot of energy in a 10 by 10 room, I can get more energy if I expand my area of influence even further. Right now I'm at a whopping 10 kilometers. Of course, I expanded in all directions. Also, while expanding, I actually found out that there is an entire ecosystem down here.

There's a weird turtle-like creature that feeds on rocks and other metals. Its shell was covered in spikes like a snapping turtle and was gigantic. Like half the size of a bull. These things are quite passive, and when in danger, they either hide in their shells or snap at anything if it's a little close for the turtle's liking.

Of course, there were other creatures. One is a gigantic worm, and another looks like a millipede but is 5 meters long and can crush rocks as if it were Styrofoam.

There are also moles, rats, and even giant bats. Although rare, these bats are smart enough to crack open the turtle's shell. First they bait the turtle to snap at them, and when it does, they weave around it and bite into the turtle's neck. I also think they inject some poison, which causes the turtles to either die or visibly get weak. But I can't be sure; I've only seen them like five times. The bats then proceed to flip them over and use their sharp claws. Talons? I don't know, and I don't care. They use their talons to rip out the underside of the turtle's body and enjoy their meal.

There's also some weird-looking human-cat-looking mother fucker. They are bipedal but hunch over while also looking malnourished. They're like half the size of a human adult but far faster and deadlier than humans. Their skin is jet black, with the most notable feature being their singular gigantic eye.

They seem to be mostly carnivorous, but the scariest thing about them is that they are intelligent. And no, not child-like, but full-grown, intelligent men. I've seen the fuckers walk in groups of five, with one of them issuing orders to others whenever they're hunting.

For some reason, the 10-kilometer area I control is packed with wild game. So because of this, they have established a colony around the 8km mark. I have counted, and there seem to be 46 of these creatures along with a dozen children. So yeah, I'm pushing defense construction before I even think about revealing my heart chamber.

Oh, hey, speak of the devil. The cat dudes are doing something. Wait, holy shit. Are they actually praying to an idol pole? Is that why they were hunting more than usual? These dudes have a religion? Yeah, definitely human, definitely intelligent. Which just motivates me more to push the development of my defenses and army.

To be honest, I've never questioned this before, but right now, I think it needs to be addressed. This fucking cavern is gigantic. Like even though I control a sphere 10km in diameter and growing. I still see way more space that I haven't taken control of yet. Of course, I've already hit the roof of the cavern at around 5 km, but holy sh*t, it's that huge.

The only reason the cavern hasn't collapsed itself is probably due to the gigantic pillars of stone that are littered across this vast expanse of the cave. And I'm on one of the pillars.

I've already made plans for locations for my new species home. Of course I'm going to make them sapient, because I'm lonely like that. I'll develop a sort of food source for them in the future, but right now they've got to make do with the animals and gigantic mushrooms. Oh yeah, did I mention there were giant luminescent mushrooms around the cavern? No? Well, now you know.

OK, final checks before making my new species. Guns ready to fire if it does something I don't like? Check. of armor and weapons for it to use? Check. A detailed description of its properties? Check. Ok, I'm ready.

It's time to play god.
