Standing on the edge of death, Ensen looked at the pure white walls surrounding him. Besides the bed and an IV kit, there was no-one else in sight.
No friends, no doctors. Just him left for dead.
Taking his last breath, his life finally faded away after five years in the hospital.
As his body grew colder, what remained on Ensen's conscious showed an innocent smile.
After a few hours, his soul finally faded away, his body left for disposal.
After his soul faded, his soul was taken by a god.
----------------------------------------
The god, standing with her dark-purple hair glistening in the wind, paired with her dark gold eyes that radiated confidence, with a little bit of laziness. Okay, mostly laziness.
With the soul in her hand, she reached up into the sky and disappeared, only to reappear in her realm. In front of her was an old fashion cottage. There was nothing special about it. Until you looked around and found that there was just an empty space around the cottage, maintaining the perfect temperature.
Strolling towards her house, she soon reached the door. Once the door was opened she glided towards the couch in the living room. Once laying down, she decided to get a snack.
Snapping her fingers, a cute fairy that seemed like it just created appeared in front of her.
With a voice that seemed to radiate with one's soul, she said "I want chips. Go get them for me."
After waiting for a few minutes, the fairy flew back with its light blue wings.
Opening the bag, she then found her gaze at the soul in her hand.
Putting the chips down, she raised her palm out. In it, was the soul.
*CLAP*
With a snap of her fingers, she soul flew towards the center of the living room. Light radiating in all directions, a body was soon formed.
The body was a male who seemed about 18. With dark red hair that stood out, and blue eyes that seemed filled with determination. He was about 6 feet tall, with an above average figure, he stood there soulless.
The soul, hovering above the body soon found the body ready. Without the slightest hesitation, he flew into the body. Minutes passed by, and finally, the body began to move.
Checking its movements, the body wore a confused face. It soon turned it's gaze to its surroundings, finding the god picking up her chips and eating them.
Opening his mouth, Ensen said "Umm, who are you?"
The girl, slightly annoyed about being stopped while eating said "My name is Emilia. Now, wait I'm still hungry."
This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it.
After the girl said that, Ensen tried to talk to her again, only to find her ignoring him. Upset, Ensen sat down at what seemed to be a study desk.
After about 20 minutes, Ensen heard the constant chewing stop. Lifting his gaze from the surroundings, he once again looked towards Emilia.
"Can you talk now?" Ensen said, trying to hold back his irritation.
The girl looked straight into Ensen's eyes as if peering into his soul and said: "Why wouldn't I be able to talk?"
Unable to hold in his frustration, Ensen quickly changed the topic, before he Emilia mad. "What is this place?"
"This is my universe, welcome." Emilia said while trying to wipe off the crumbs on her shirt.
Ensen, looking confused asked, "Then why am I here?"
Emilia, finally getting all the crumbs off her said with a satisfied smile "You're here to work for me of course!"
"Work for you?" Ensen said. He then looked around the surroundings, only to find empty candy wrappers and drinks on the ground. "As you're maid?"
Mad, Emilia threw the closest object at his face, which happened to be the newborn fairy.
"No, not as my maid!" She said. She then took a deep breath, then said with a smile "You're here to control and help people I bring in."
"HUH?" Ensen yelled loudly. "I thought I was going to be a hero."
"You, a hero?" Emilia said, trying to hold back laughter.
Ensen looked at Emilia "Fine, what people?"
Emilia said, as if forgetting it completely "That's right, I didn't get any yet. Well, that can wait. I guess I'll explain to you what I was assigned to do by the god high council. They wanted to find promising people to create and manage universes, to help with the god shortage. Since I didn't want to do it, I thought let's just leave it to someone else." She said casually.
"Then why are you here now?" Ensen said curiously.
Emilia continued, with a depressed expression on her face. "My sister said I needed to get out of the house more. So, she volunteered me to do this. Since then, to help keep my lifestyle, I've thought for days on end on how to avoid it. That's where you come in. You're going to run the universe, and I'll be in 'charge'. Get it?"
"So, you want me to design a universe to find promising people, while you're going to just eat and watch shows?" Ensen asked calmly.
"Wow, You're a quick learner. Real promising." Emilia said sarcastically.
Ensen then said with a smirk "Well, in that case, Nope."
"WWWHHHAAATTT" Emilia leaped to her feet and shouted at me.
Ensen startled, fell from the chair onto the hardwood floor.
Rubbing his back, Ensen said "I'll only do a 50/50 work split. That's my final offer."
Emilia, in despair, said with a tearful face "Fine, but you get all the hard stuff. I'll decide fashion trends. Deal?"
Ensen, discouraged sighed and said "I guess that's fine. How do I get started."
Wiping her tears away, Emilia said "Just think about what you want to add. Here."
*SNAP*
With another snap of her fingers, Ensen felt as if his mind expanded. He was able to think about multiple things at once.
Focusing his thoughts, Ensen thought about making people have something like a test trial. Then, they could see who would be best.
Trying to figure out how his power worked, he thought of the first thing that came to mind, school. Trying harder and harder, he thought about his friends. The universe, responding to his thoughts, flooded his brain with his friends' lives, throughout the years he was gone. Tests, exams, parents, their first jobs. It was all seen by Ensen. Calming down, he then tried to focus on the job ahead. Not thinking about the past.
He began visualizing multiple universes, they were separated but connected as one at the same time. He made walls composed of space and time itself to enclose each universe, but he didn't strengthen it, so it could be broken through with enough effort. He then thought about the composition of the world. He decided to leave the worlds completely empty, and leave it up to the user to decide on how it would work.
Ensen thought about the first universe that was created, trying to teleport himself over to it. Oddly enough, he did.
Standing in the middle of the void, with not even light surrounding him, he pictured the universe itself, creating a conscious universe. He expanded on that concept, using it to then be customizable by the user of the universe. Once he felt that it worked, he then felt that the initial setup was complete.
Satisfied with his work, Ensen envisioned Emilia's living room, and then one again met with Emilia.
