I immediately woke up as I felt a jolt of electricity force my mind awake. Groaning at the not so gentle wake-up from the machine in my mind, I pushed myself up off of the ground, frowning as I noticed it was marble instead of the tiled floor of my room.
I quickly looked up from the floor, to find countless others to be lying around unconscious on the floor. Men, women, and children, none of whom I recognize.
Looking further up past the lines of unconscious bodies I found myself in a massive circular room, though in place of a ceiling was the expansive blue sky.
Though I may have looked like an idiot, staring up towards the heavens with a look of awe on my face. This is my first time seeing the sky in person, at all times in the past I had only seen it through a screen.
Shaking myself out of my daze, I turned around to continue examining the walls, to find a mask with a wide smile and no eye holes right up in my face. Immediately upon recognition of a figure standing in front of me, like the brave man I was I quickly jumped back, landing on my bottom with a high pitched shriek, one of which I was immediately ashamed of as the masked figure began to laugh hysterically, the voice both high and low pitched overlapping.
My face dyed red in embarrassment, I jump back up to my feet, dusting off the legs of my pants to examine the figure. Finding not much to see as a large white hooded cloak covered their body, showing no skin, their face obviously covered by the white mask.
"Who exactly are you and where the fuck are we?" I demanded, trying to turn the topic away from my own embarrassment. "Good kids don't curse." The figure spoke in his odd pitched voice, snapping his finger.
Growling in frustration I say " that didn't answer either of my ---- questions!" I froze as I noticed the silence which appeared when I attempted to cuss at them. As I was about to speak again, several blue boxes appeared in my vision.
[CURSED: 'GOOD KIDS DONT CURSE']
[BLOCKS THE ABILITY TO CREATE CURSES AND AS A SECONDARY EFFECT CENSORS OUT ALL FOUL LANGUAGE FOR CURSES DURATION.]
[CURSE RESISTANCE GAINED FROM BEING CURSED BY THE HIGH GOD! 25% CHANCE FOR CURSES CAST AT PLAYER TO BE INEFFECTIVE]
I blinked repeatedly in silence for a few moments as I stared at the cloaked figure. "U-uhh.. uhm... God?" I asked to which the figure nodded and waved "Hi!" Their voice sounded oddly friendly.
I would have immediately considered that this might just be yet another Virtual Reality game if not for the familiar feeling of the computer in my brain that was never there in previous VR I had been in during previous experiments.
I hesitantly took a few steps closer to God, uncertain of how to speak. "Err.. Sorry for cussing at you God." I spoke as I looked up at them, using my best 'sorry dog' eyes. " But I need to be able to cuss or the big bullies will make fun of me again. "
I stood in silence, waiting to see if God would go with my excuse or not. I watched the God as their shoulders trembled with an emotion I couldn't understand. Before I had a chance to speak up in apology God suddenly lunged at me. I flinched and closed my eyes, unsure of what to expect.
I yelped in surprise as I felt arms wrap around me and pull me into a near bone crushing hug. "Uwaahh, so adorable~ don't worry god forgives you~!" God yelled in their odd two toned voice.
With the air knocked out of me I attempted to catch my breath as several more blue screens flashed into my vision.
Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.
[CURSE 'Good boys don't curse' HAS BEEN REMOVED! CURSES USED BY PLAYER EFFICIENCY INCREASED BY 50%]
[TITLE GAINED: Adored one: increased holy affinity experience gain by 100%, charm effect causing player to be subconsciously liked by religious figures. Skill granted by title divine intervention!]
[Some of god's divinity has rubbed off on you! Minor Deity race now available for you!]
[ TITLE GAINED: Alpha, first to gain a title! 10% increase to all stats]
I stood frozen as I thought over what the blue screens had implied. From what little I knew of VR games this was a definite premonition of something over powered.
While this sounded pretty damn great to me, though I had to wonder if God was the one writing all of this.. might as well ask. "Uhm.. God?" The God flinched before letting of me, stepping back, and brushing off their robe "A-ahem... yes mortal child?" God spoke in a seemingly calmer voice, though it's not easy to notice with the dual tones.
"Right... do you make these blue messages?" I ask, pointing out the blue box.
"No, no that's just the universe, I don't have access to those, I can't really see much cause being all knowing is so borriing- Ah! Wait, I wasn't supposed to say that!" God stepped forward, sticking a gloves hand in my face. "You heard nothing... please?"
I stood in silence, now being rather confident that this God is an idiot or at least acting like one, as I was about to speak God held an open hand to me, signalling to stop.
Confused at what was happening I glanced around, noticing the unconscious people to be waking up. I looked back to see the God floating up into the sky, ominously growing a divine aura which left no doubt of their divinity. I flinched as another blue box popped into my vision, something I was going to have to get used to. I
quickly fell to the ground so as to not stand out and read the boxes which appeared.
[ You have discovered a secret of the universe! Unfortunately not the meaning of life but that the new world like system is not created by God but by the universe itself! Increased magic ability by 10% and gained the Creation skill!]
Once again I feel a massively unfair advantage, which I have no complaints of, I pretend to slowly wake up, panicking a little before looking up towards the God with the rest of the men, women, boys, and girls.
God dramatically spreads their arms out and with a thundering roar. Speaks "Greeting mortals! Welcome to the beta stage of the new world to come!"

Alrighty! Still feels pretty short but it was the best I can do as I did it on my phone in the middle of school! Had to work in school because I have work like right after. As some may notice I have a slight addiction towards the OP. Please feel free to offer any suggestions, idea's and criticism! Ill try and finish another chapter out tomorrow! Though may have a bit of trouble as I have work tomorrow as well. If not Ill get two chapters out on sunday!
Thank you for reading! :grin:
----------------------------------------
Meant to make a poll to see if I should make longer chapters but post more spread out. Or somewhat short ones every day. Order push myself to madness with longer chapters every day.
