Vision started returning to me, however, instead of feeling like I've slept it felt like my consciousness paused, like a torpor. There was no grogginess, pain or any sign of abuse despite what happened to me. Those ‘gods’ whoever or whatever they are a piece of shit.
Why would they do that?! I don't even know them! Is it because of that system I rejected!? Assholes!
Then an orange box floated next to me.
[Designate a name.]
Uh, right I was thinking of a name for myself when I suddenly got disintegrated. But yeah where am I? I looked around to find I was in a lush Forest, with a human body! With no clothes somehow.
I checked myself and my surroundings, a newborn god does not need clothes that's obvious, wait, can I make my clothes? I don't have nuts dangling around obviously but reasoning that I'm in the form of a human I would naturally want clothing.
For my dignity, I imagine the clothing I wore in the particle collider, lab gown, teal shirt brown pants and a comfortable set of black shoes...
[Error, usage of soul energy is not permitted till sufficient information is given]
Ugh. I have to think of a name, I'm a god now, accepting this is real because I got almost obliterated, I'll name myself… Hadro, yep Hadro. That's good enough.
[Hadro, God's name established.]

Oh, the interface is much simpler than the website the company uses back in my workplace. Anyways, I have 5 soul energies. I once again imagined having clothing, and it worked.
It happened before my eyes and out of nowhere my body started having clothing. I rechecked my status.

I have two soul energy left, I'll save that for now since if the generation is slow, I'll have to figure out where I am. Walking about the lush forest I soon found myself in a village, it's primitive at its best.
The women check the straw roof while the children help, some women are only wearing strewn straws to cover their privates, and some just don't use them on their breasts at all.
With a bit of rustling, I looked behind me to see multiple rugged men. I was about to say hi when he ignored me like I wasn't there, and then he walked through me like I was a ghost.
Ah, they can't see me.
"Arkum! Any success in hunting?" a woman seemingly in her thirties speaks lovingly.
The man shook his head, with a bit of frustration. "A [Scorn Wolf] stole our hunt."
Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.
The woman ruffled her husband's hair, "That's fine" as she held his hand "We have gathered plenty of fruits, why not eat with us."
The plenty she means is a meagre mug full of berries. I sighed, these people are living it badly according to my standards. I walked, continued forward and skipped this village.
What I should do as a god is a question I would ask myself if not for the tons of information embedded in my head by the abyss.
Simply, find a prophet, priest, or shaman that has faith in your name, then give them the system you have. I should've known better and reviewed the information. Gods could give other gods a system, however, they will become their slaves, as gods aren't mortals.
So those pieces of shit wanted a slave. I sighed out a sigh of relief. Thankfully they were impatient, well, whatever I began walking around.
But I still was nowhere, so I flew. I flew up and saw that I was on a giant continent. After seeing the same village I saw earlier my gaze went further.
There are no other advanced civilisations on this continent. Not because people don't want to go here, but because the environment is too harsh. I sighed and floated down to the same village I woke up to.
I looked around, I was giving myself a purpose rather than just lazing around. I could bless someone with an awakened system and give quests, what this village needs.
"One… Two… three…"
I looked over at a kid who was counting berries and writing on the floor with a stick. I know it's a girl because she isn't bald like the rest of the boys.
"what's next of three…"
The writings on the ground are some sort of numbering texts as she identifies them shortly. She seems identifying what's the best symbol for the next number more than trying to know what's next after the number three. I could see she's smarter than she looks.
"Mari! It's time to go home!"
I guess she's the perfect one to be blessed with, but before I get on my horses I should observe more.
Looking around for a few days, I discover that there are three more people with the potential for my blessing. One of them is named Shaka. She knows how to quickly gather berries with minimum effort, knows routes that one wouldn't take, and is efficient in trap-making as well. She has a little sister to take care of so that checks out.
The other one is Kavo, he is a young boy, who mostly helps with his mother's foraging, but he sometimes deviates and studies plants, one he is doing right now is rubbing a leaf on his elbow. When his elbow started having rashes he took a mental note of the plant and left, he did this multiple times till he got to a herb that looked like a peppermint.
And lastly, Kasha, the sister of Shaka. Those names gosh, she is the same as Mari, trying to make a language of her own. But Mari was trying to make numbers while Kasha here was making an actual systematic language.
I have two things in my mind, one is that Kasha should receive it more than the other four. Having literacy rates go up makes logistics easier. On the other hand, I want the boy, Kavo, to receive the first blessing. Since the boy knows how to differentiate herbs from poisonous to edible, if the need arises he could become a doctor.
But, when it comes to time, making a language is harder to learn than learning how to differentiate, so while it's early I rather have their literacy rise to the next generation to the other.
I reached my hand out to the young child named Kasha.
[Choose to bless Kasha with [Particle System]? Y/N]
I mentally chose yes and the child was bathed in orange light. Her sister Shaka saw what happened and was shocked. Next was that I saw Kasha having two systems at once, one was dull grey and one was orange.
[Give Kasha a skill or quest?]
I mentally nodded and decided to give her a skill, a box appeared before me, like a keyboard and a white text box to type in. Since Kasha is probably a kid who's trying to learn a language I'll try to give her a good skill to learn languages.
I typed [Lexicon] and hit enter but it was denied, and then all the memories of how to make a skill came to me, it's on the same package when I was in the abyss, I sighed. Do I have to manually review all the knowledge given to me while I was there?
I typed again [Lexicon F] I started with the F rank since it costs a single soul energy, more and it will cost more. After hitting enter I was given another textbox to write the description of the skill. I wrote it as a skill that makes the user quickly learn letters and better understand constructing words.
"Kasha! What kind of God awakened you?"
"I… I don't know…"
"You don't know? It's okay! It's okay! As long as it's not an Evil god." Shaka's face turned sad for a moment then brightened "Did the god send you any skill?"
"Yes, it says [Lexicon F]" Kasha said, since the System is an entity it automatically becomes eligible to any person who has it, even if they are not literate.
"What does it do?" Shaka excitedly asked
"It makes me better at learning… languages and letters."
"Letters?"
Kasha seems to know why god blessed her, but she still has no understanding of why she should be the one being blessed with a skill.
Not even seconds later a [Quest] shows up in her orange system.
[Quest!]
[A road to literacy. (F)]
Make a cohesive lettering system and spread it around the village. Spread it to at least up to 5 people.
People taught: 0/5
Reward: [Wikipedia F]
Kasha reports all the things she had to her sister, Shaka gets excited and tells her village about it, and they are delighted at the news of a god blessing one of their members.
I'm quite elated to see this, though they do not know what kind of god I am just yet, since I have created and established the [Particle System] I'm probably the god of particles.
I snickered, that's fine, that's fine. I may have not seen the end of the project in my world, but I surely will here.
While I was at it I checked my Status.

There's something added to my status, Skills created huh, so I can create skills and give them to the people I bless. Well yeah, it's on the package. I'll just call it Abyssal info since that's where I got it.
Anyway, I looked at the girl I blessed and continued to observe the consequences of my actions.
