[AN]WARNING: Lots and lots of world building in this chapter! And from the ground up too. If you wanna skip it, go ahead, it follows Judeo-Christian style concepts, but with some differences here and there.[/AN]

"It all started with one simple thought from an almighty being.

'Here I am, a being that wields limitless power in my hands, yet, there is nothing for me to watch over and observe.I am a man, I know it to be so, for I say it is. There is little point to such an existence. There is naught but void surrounding me. Let us make something of this existence.'

Thus, this being decided to create his first children. By gathering the void surrounding him, and shaping it into a form similar to its own, the first intelligent life forms since him were created.He decided to even add variations to these creations, making some similar to him, and others, slightly varied, naming them females. However, though they had intelligence, they had no means to communicate, not one to another, nor to their creator. And so, he created language. Thus, the creations were then able to communicate with their creator.

"Creator," they all began. "What do we call you?"

It thought about this for a while. It never had a need for a title, and so it pondered on this for a time.

"Call me Father," the being finally answered.

"Yes, Father. Then, what are we?" asked one of the creations, stepping forward from the group.

The being now known as father was stumped yet again! And so then he sat and pondered for some time, yet again!

"You may name one another, but as a whole, you will be called... Angels."

They heard this and were pleased. They began naming one another, and the Father looked on in pride. And for some time, the Father was satisfied with this kind of existence.

Eventually, the Angels came to ask the Father a question.

"What do we do now, oh Father?" The one speaking for the angels was the same one that had stepped forward previously. It had become a sort of leader for the Angels, and was the one closest among the Angels to what can be considered sentient thought. It had taken on the name of Michael.

And so, the father thought for a while. 'Yes, I was satisfied for some time, giving them orders constantly on what to do. But it has become somewhat of a bore at this point. I shall create something else for them to watch over, then I shall leave them be for a time, and watch over how things progress,' he mused.

And so, the Father created an enormous mass in the void, although for the Father, it was only as large as his torso. Then, he shrunk both himself and his Angels down, and walked upon the mass.

'It is dark,' he mused.

"Let there be light!" He declared, and it was so.

'It is far too bright now. How to fix it?' He again began to ponder.

And he decided to fix it by bringing back the darkness he had chased out. He decided to create a balance between them.

"There will be equilibrium between light and dark, 24 hours of varying levels of intensity of light, followed by 24 hours of varying intensity of dark."

He fashioned 2 smaller masses and threw them out into the void, both giving off light, but one was far brighter than the other.

"The brighter will be the Sun, the brighter one, the Moon."

And it was so.

'This place is far too dull. There is no variations in the levels of elevation, nor in the state of matter.'

And so, he and the Angels walked about the mass, digging massive pits, piling up massive mounds, and the Father doing a far more arduous task, making far deeper pits, and filling them with liquids he dubbed 'Water'.

"The dry parts will be called land, the wet areas will be called the seas!"

And for a time, he was satisfied with this. But, he eventually came to realize, such a large mass has no sentient life besides himself. There were his Angels, but they were unable to think for themselves. And he was saddened for it to be so.

So, he created a wide variety of plants, having them use the sun and water to grow and reproduce, something the Angels were incapable of.

The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.

But, after leaving them alone for a time, they began to kill one another off, since they had grown far too numerous. The Father was saddened by this, and so he created his first new species made to eat another, and called them animals. And for a time, all was well.

Until, the same problem once again repeated itself, this time with the animals. They had grown too numerous, and their food source couldn't keep up.

And so, the Father created more animals, these made to prey on other animals. Having learned his lesson, he created more beings, similar to himself and his Angels, to act as custodians of all these lifeforms. He called them Humans. He also created within them something the Angels did not have.

Free will. They were beings truly capable of thinking on their own. The animals had a similar capability, but were governed instead by instincts, or a base knowledge of how to react in a given situation.

However, these new beings were far too weak to be able to watch over the creations on this mass. The Angels had but the tiniest fraction of the Father's strength, yet the Humans were but a fraction of that. And so, he created within these humans a special ability, in order to give them strength.

Some could control fire.

Others could control water.

These, and similar elemental abilities were the most common, and had varying levels of strength.

Other, slightly more abstract abilities were also made.

The ability to hit any target.

Massive strength.

Even flight, and peerless handling of a given tool.

But, the most powerful of all abilities?

Those belonged to the class of what the Father called "The Manipulators of the Principles of reality."

Space. Time. Gravity. Energy. Matter. These abilities would be without peer if their wielders could but understand how to use them.

As one final parting gift, since the humans lived in different areas and environments, he created within them the ability to evolve and adapt to the various areas.

After, he fell into a deep sleep due to using too much of his strength, leaving the Angels to preside over all his creations.

And so the Angels watched, happy that their Father left them in charge of such a beautiful creation, that which they came to call Earth.

They watched as those Humans in the hotter areas evolved and adapted, growing wings, scales, and horns, adopting the name of Dragons.

They watched as those humans living in the sea areas evolved and adapted, growing gills, fish scales, and the ability to breathe underwater, adopting the names of merfolk.

They watched again as those humans that lived in the forest areas evolved and adapted, growing longer ears, and adopting the names of elves.

They watched once more as those humans that lived in the mountain areas evolved and adapted, growing more robust, thicker limbs, yet becoming shorter and stumpier, adopting the names of dwarves.

They watched one last time as those humans residing in closely with the animals evolved and adapted, taking on some of the animal traits of those they watched over, adopting the names of beastmen.

This, however, did not mean that all evolved and adapted, some felt satisfied just the way they were, and stayed as naught but humans.

They saw all this, and were proud of the Father's creations. As per his orders, they gave each one of the species an ability upon their birth, that would not manifest itself until such a time as they were ready.

...And that, son, is the story of all creation.

......Oy. Did you fall asleep?"

[AN] Hello! Finally done with school for the moment, and since I felt a bit stumped about how I wanted to proceed on my next story, I decided to make this one. Alright, since I know everyone is probably wondering,

1. No, I will not be dropping my other story.

2. Yes this MC will be OP, but not in the traditional sense.

3. Yes, a harem is possible, but no, it is not set in stone. Okay, that's all. Next time, we get into the actually story.[/AN]
