It's been two years since I started going through the ocean, and today is finally the day that reach the main continent: Gaia. I'm really excited to see what's there mystical lands filled with magical creatures and beings of all kinds.
G.O.D: Gaia is a land of many wonders and it is known for being accepting of any and all species. However it does not interact nor does it get along with the other continents, reasons for this is unknown.
Really? That's weird, why would that be the case if it's accepting of all species? Well it's not my job to decide what each of the continents does anyway.
G.O.D: Incorrect! As the last Primordial it is your responsibility and duty to guide and decide the fate of this world, just as your previous self and the other Primordials had done before.
Fuck that! That sounds extremely boring, ruling an entire planet is not my expertise by the way. Plus didn't you say that there a group of beings already doing that, so like what's the point of me helping when they don't need help.
G.O.D: Incorrect! They can only preserve the peace that they barely have, they have no real power over the world. Also Gaia has no representatives in that alliance, meaning that they can only influence the other 10 continents.
Yeeeaaah, not my problem.
G.O.D: It is your problem. You are the last Primordial, and may I remind you that you you are the reason for that.
Well I don't care. And technically I didn't kill the other Primordials. You will never see me ruling anything ever!
G.O.D: Incompetent sloth.
Bitch, who the hell you talking to. Don't forget I am still the queen of this body your just visiting!
G.O.D:...
Looks like she finally shut up for once. Anyway I can see land up ahead so let's get out of this dump. I'm tired of salt water it's bad for your skin.
G.O.D: You do not have skin, you are made of energy.
I know it's an expression. *Sigh* whatever let's focus on getting to land, we can argue later.
Soon l started to see land and green trees up ahead, finnaly land sweet land, freedom from this cursed ocean. A beach appeared in my line of sight. Hey G.O.D where am I now.
G.O.D: You are currently at the entrance of the forest of abundance near Valtoria's Steppes. The forest of abundance is a large forest known for it's rich land and fierce powerful beings living within it's vicinity. I advise that you look for subordinates in this forest.
Yeah I should probably do that if I want to evolve, honestly though who in their right mind would follow me? Well that's a conversation for another time. I arrive on the beach and look around, it's weirdly empty up here.
G.O.D: Affirmative. The creatures living in the forest usually stay further within the forest, on occasion they may come to the water to hunt for food.
Well good to know? Now let's go further and see what kinds of creatures live here. I started moving straight into the forest at a slow pace, the trees were all compact and there was barely any room to move through. I wonder how larger creatures move through all this.
Soon the trees start to thin out and different types of plants started to appear on the forest floor. I don't think I was into nature in my human life but this is actually beautiful, the vibrant colors of the flora and fauna, that I have never seen before, whether that's due to my not being into plants in my previous life or these plants are native to this world I don't know, but it's cool nonetheless.

After a few minutes of my nature hike/float I hear some rustling in a near by bush. What was that? I turned towards the bush and a small spherical green blob jumped out. Is that a a slime?
G.O.D: Affirmative. Slimes are know for their regeneration and near immortality, however they have very low intelligence and are very weak. They are commonly used to depose of garbage and waste material because they are capable of dissolving nearly anything, some are kept as pets. This variant of slime is a green slime it is commonly found in forests and areas that have a lot of plant life, they mainly feed on plants but also the bodies of leftover meals left by predators. Their slime has a healing effect and it can increase the growth of plants.
So it's a scavenger, it's kind of cute actually. But what's a weak thing such as a slime doing here?
G.O.D: Answer. Slimes are inedible so they are left alone by predators.
Guess if you have nothing to offer to them powerful monsters will leave you alone. Well good bye little slime hope you don't die or whatever. The slime soon disappeared and I continue on my way too.
As time went by I passed more creatures such as a Gazelle like creatures sprinting about, a group of rather bees that were the size of a dog, that were eating the flesh of some poor creature, and a huge ass centipede (Why is everything so big here?). I soon arrived at a clearing with a large lake different creatures were there drinking water. It was almost sunset so I could still make out the creatures there.
There was a group of Chimera like creatures, a few birds that look like a hybrid between a hawk and an eagle, and a crocodile sleeping in the water, with one of it's eyes open. This looks like a picture straight from those wildlife channels.
I can travel even if it's night so there is really no point in resting but my human tendencies take over and I head over to the edge of the lake and just relax it's not like any of them could hurt me anyways. I turned my mind of and visit my Mind Space, haven't been there in two years.
My Mind Space is almost the way I left it vast plain except for my island which is now just there for some reason and there are 10 giant energy spheres just floating up there in the metaphorical sky. Um G.O.D what's all this?
G.O.D: Answer. Your Mind Space is connected to your Soul Space, meaning everything contained in the Soul appears in the mind.
Ok sure I understand the island but what about the giant energy spheres.
G.O.D: Answer. They are the souls of the other Primordials.
What their souls, I've just had them this whole time.
G.O.D: Affirmative.
And you never thought to tell me.
G.O.D: Answer. You never asked. Also currently you can not to any thing with these souls, you do not possess the ability to absorb souls only take them.
Wait how did I get them though last time I checked the skill Soul Reaper only allows you to remove souls not take them.
G.O.D: Affirmative. Your previous self must have removed the souls of the primordials however knowing that they would just be reborn if they let them escape into the world, they probably trapped their souls inside the island.
So if I get an ability to absorb souls I could use the powers of the other Primordials?
G.O.D: Affirmative.
So like can't you create one like you did with Space manipulation.
G.O.D: I am incapable of creating skills, I only use your own skills to help give you an already existing skill from the system.
So you hacked into the system, so like can't you just do that again.
G.O.D: Even with your title as Administrator it is a long and difficult procedure.
Then can't you start now, the sooner the better.
G.O.D: Affirmative, I will begin the process immediately.
Hey before you go is there like a way to use your abilities while you focus on that so that I can analyze things while you're gone.
G.O.D: Affirmative. The skill Grand Oracle's original function is to simply display information and not give feedback and advice.
So you couldn't talk before?
G.O.D: Affirmative. The system infused a part of your soul into the skill Grand Oracle to give it a semi- conscience.
So your just another version of me, I guess that kind of makes us sisters in a weird soul sharing way.
G.O.D: Answer. I have no such feelings of siblinghood towards you. I am simply here to serve and guide you.
Stubborn as ever I see. Well can you leave the analyzing function on or whatever you are going to do.
G.O.D: Affirmative.
Her voice turns of and she's of doing whatever. I look up towards the souls of the Primordials. "Hey guys how you doing?" No answer. "Yeah I thought so, anyway sorry for like killing you and all that stuff but you did give me no choice in the matter." Still no answer why am I even doing this it's not like I killed them, but I still feel bad about it. "We...apologize...for...the...pain," a voice, no multiple voices come from the souls. Pain? To me I'm in perfectly good shape what are they talking about? " ...They...must...repent," they all said again. Who must Repent? Repent for what exactly? "Could you please explain to me what your talking about?"
"...Truth...Betrayed...Manipulated... Mastermind." After those words they kept quiet I have no idea what they are talking about but it sounds super serious.
I should probably get back to the real world now. A considerable amount of time should have passed as I set the Mind Space to move slower so that time passes faster in the real world then in here.
I turned on my mind and I'm know longer at the lake I'm in a cave surrounded by those sleeping chimera things. A bunch of the cubs are around me and one is sleeping on top of me. How the hell did I end up here?!
Okay let's look at the most likely scenario ' While I was out the cubs of the chimera things, saw me and grew curious, next they probably poked and prodded me and see how I would react when nothing happened they played with me and treated me like a toy thinking I'm safe, then when the group began to move again the cubs took me with them.' Yeah that's probably what happened I'm surprised their parents didn't do anything though. Well no matter I can just leave whenever I want to. I started levitating of the ground being careful not to wake the cub sleeping on me.
Once I was out of the cave I see it is almost sunrise, better get out of here before they wake up. Honestly the cubs were kind of cute up close. But I can't stay here. As I move I still wonder what the other Primordials were trying to tell me. Pain, Repent, Truth, Betrayed, Manipulated, Mastermind. What truth were they talking about exactly? And mastermind of what? And who is they that must repent? A million questions are running through my brain now and I have zero clues how to solve them. Maybe I'll ask G.O.D when she comes back if she knows anything about this.
Sunrise soon comes and all the nocturnal creatures go to slumber, the forest starts to brighten up by the sun and the rest of the forest creatures start to wake up. I see a mountain up ahead I'll climb up to get a better view of the forest before deciding what to do next.
