Chapter Eleven, The Human Progenitor.

Now, Lokreum, the creator of such 'Magnificent' ideas, stood on the surface of an unrealistically green planet.
"Earth." He said, a wave of powerful essence leaving his origin.
Title essence washed over the planet as the plants grew larger. The middle buried within the caves grew denser in their essences, and the animals grew more powerful.
The Supreme Law of Titles was incorporated into the Primordial Heart, and whenever something was given a name with an important meaning, the named existence received a boost in kreus.
Usually the energy would mainly be taken from the Primordial Heart, but this time Lokreum made sure it was personally powered by him.
He sensed the world around him, feeling the movement of creatures all over.
He looked back at Kieron, who was far too busy playing with a massive moose, a smile forming on his face.
It was a enjoyable sight to see Kieron's surprise when the moose he was toying with suddenly grew in size, muscle density, and intelligence.
Unlike the average height, which would be near 7 feet, this moose stood at nearly 17, which was even taller than Lokreum.
"The Father, The Spirit, and The Will." Lokreum said to himself, listing off the major titles he decided he would go by.
"For the first major intelligence… I'll do something like, like this."
With a flick of his wrist, the soil before him rose. The dirt and dust shaped itself, solidifying into a human sized, and shaped, statue.
For Kieron it was hard to tell whether the human was man or woman,simply because of the sheer beauty. Though, thanks to the presence of an extra appendage between it's legs, he could infer it was a male.
"What shall I use…" Lokreum asked himself while looking at the dirt figure.
"I'll leave it to the primordial."
*Pop*
He snapped his fingers, the sky above them darkening.
A storm brewed overhead, thunder, lighting, and even rain pouring down from the heavens.
*CRACK*
Lightning pierced through the sky and struck the dirt figure.
With that, he was given life.
Like a scene Lokreum once experienced before.
A consciousness was opened, and an origin was created.
Both Kieron and Lokreum could feel the multitude of essences gushing into the human's soul.
The essence of Life, Limits, the Limitbreaker, Fate, Bloodline, Finality, Control, Willpower, Genius, and Absorption... These were the essences that were present in every living creature within the Apocryphal Domain. Something that would be present in every natural birth.
Of course, just because these essences were coursing through one's existence, didn't mean they could use it. These laws were simply the tethers that held a sentient creature together.
What was special about this human before them, was the fact that six of these laws were comprehended already!
The laws of Life, Limitbreaker, Fate, Control, Willpower, and Absorption were fully usable! Their Ecritures were already floating within the humans origin, passively producing essence,

He was even birthed with a multitude of other laws. The Lesser laws of Earth, Water, Wind, and Communication, the Greater law of the Progenitor, the Supreme law of The Ruler, the Taboo law of Fortune, and even the Natural Law of Space-Time!
In truth, he had too many laws at his disposal.
But Lokreum didn't care for that. To be able to combat the Immortals, he would need someone completely overpowered.
With bated breaths, both he and Kieron awaited the awakening of this creation.
One of the rules formed by the Primordial Sage would grant access to a portion of the Sages power once a creature reached 10% comprehension in a law. The more laws one gathered, the faster their growth in power would be.
"Make sure to witness this, Kieron." Lokreum said, getting the Author's attention.
Kieron understood full well what Lokreum was notioning, to him, it was rather obvious what he had planned.
"Shiva." He murmured, focusing on the awakening existence. A drove of essence sprouted forth from Lokreum, the law of Titles pouncing on the boy that stood in front of God.
His eyelids peeled back.
The confusion, fright, and reverence was plastered on his face.
Shiva, the now conscious existence had been gifted knowledge.
"You are Shiva." Lokreum said, crouching down to speak with the newborn organism.
Weirdly enough, he was still taller than the human. After all, he was nearly fifteen feet, and even while crouching, he was still taller than the human that was even six feet.
At that moment, the droves of Titular Essence completely washed over Shiva and the comprehension of his Laws were heightened, knowledge flowing into his mind.
At the same time, having been in existence for enough time, the Sage decided to make Shiva's accomplishments known to him.
{You have successfully reached 10% comprehension in a Law. In response, The Primordial Sage has deemed you worthy of access to the [Primordial System]!}
[Status] [Name: Shiva] [Race: Human] Titles: [Human Progenitor] Origin: - Rank: Mortal
[Lesser]: Wind (9.9%), Water (9.9%), Earth (9.9%), Communication (9.9%),
[Greater]: Progenitor (9.9%)
[Supreme]: The Ruler (2.7%),
[Taboo]: Limitbreaker (100%), Willpower (100%), Absorption (100%), Fortune (0.1%), The Genius (9.9%)
[Natural]: Life (100%), Limits (100%), Fate (100%), Control (100%), Finality (3.1%), Bloodline (6.9%), Space-Time (9.9%)
[False]: Essence of the Limitbreaker, Willpower, Essence of Absorption
[Natural]: Life Essence, Essence Limits, Fate Essence, Essence of Control
- Self Evaluation: You're a Limitbreaker! Despite having yet broken the first shackles on your origin, you're capable of holding the essences of 7 different laws opposed to the usual 1. You would utterly obliterate anybody within the [Mortal Rank] with the foundation you've established.
The two gods examined every inch of the Human Progenitor, while he himself examined his very own powers.
The average life wouldn't be able to house more than one law essence in their origin no matter what. Essences were just too powerful, they were an impossible to understand weight, that could easily shatter a soul if one was not careful.
To be able to contain seven essences within his origin? While still being a mortal at that?...
It was commendable...
Lokreum and Kieron eyed the boy before them, taking note of his physical appearance.
His skin was a smooth, chocolate color, with his muscles being pronounced, but slim. His hair was a rough dark brown mess that reached the upper region of his back.
His eyes were red, and all over his body was matching red runic art.
Instead of acting as generators of essence as most Runic Ecritures did, these pathways acted as an amplifier. They weren't thin lines melded into words, but thicker ones, turned into jagged circuits.
He would be capable of circulating essence through these tattoos, and the more he did so, the stronger the output of his essence would be.
It was a great way of using runes that would most definitely be replicated by his descendants.
"Uhm..." Shiva started, making the two beings wait with baited breath.
"Hello, Father?" He spoke for the first time, earning a smile from Kieron who was observing from the back.
"Ah, yes. I am your Father!" Lokreum said slightly ecstatically, he was enjoying seeing another successful creation.
His success truly excited him.
"Y-Yes sir." Shiva responded, having nothing else to say.
"Good!" Lokreum clapped standing up straight, letting Shiva realize how tall he truly was.
"Come, little one." Lokreum chuckled, spinning his finger and making Shiva levitate.
"Nngh!" Shiva groaned in nervousness, being swiftly lifted to Lokreum's shoulders, where he was sat forcefully. Lokreum started to move through the dense greenery of the forest with Kieron following behind.
"Call me Kieron by the way." Kieron said from the rear, his new moose friend following behind him.
"Y-Yes sir!"
