Our story begins on what seems like an average day in what seems like an average time. Our main character luka is working a job at a pizza place greasing pans. He is incredibly unfit and called fat by some. He does have one redeeming quality though. He wants to make everyone he knows have a better life. He is currently working the pizza job so he can start saving early so his dad can achieve his dream of being rich before he dies of old age. His dad is incredibly poor along with his mother so he knows he has a rough start. He also wants to buy an enormous plot of land so he can give a bunch of homeless people houses and electricity and jobs and stuff. Along with his dreams of donating to places trying to stop issues like diseases and world hunger/thirst. He is going through the repetitive brush motions when the light starts flickering and then shuts down. The power had gone out. He keeps working though because power outages had happened before. He knew it just meant that he would be greasing dirty hot pans for the next 5 hours instead of clean ones. Unlike the normal power outages he is used to though he stops hearing any sound whatsoever. no one was talking in the other room and the sounds of plans clattering had stopped. He looked up before hearing a voice {UNIVERSE ASSIMILATED PLEASE STANDBYE} suddenly the power flickers back on. Our dear main character however was nowhere to be seen.

Luka's point of view
I was going through my normal pan greasing routine during a power outage when I heard a voice telling me something about a universe. Suddenly a bright light flashed and I fell asleep. When I woke up there was a screen in front of me. {You are your universes chosen deity. As such you are not allowed to remain in your universe until you gain enough belief points. Starter believer and family package has been granted. Please choose those you want to port over to the new universe with you. This includes the deceased who will be de aged back to their prime with all memories intact. You may also choose 3 people to soulmate bond with. They don't count towards the believer total and will slowly fall in love with you the more you interact. you cannot choose anyone who already has a soulmate. Begin Selection.} I read through it before yelling out "IS THIS A PRANK. WHO IS DOING THIS" eventually I figure out it isn't a prank and scream a little bit before calming down. Well I might as well choose my family members or whatever. I read through the list and choose the family members I want. I choose my mom and my dad, my two sisters, my cat as animals count apparently, my dog who passed away a little bit ago, and my grandmother and grandpa on my dads side who passed away recently. I also get too choose some friends to bring with me and their family will be ported too. I choose my friend Dominic as he is like my only friend anyway. for my soulmate bonds or whatever I choose three people who come to mind that I have been crushing on for forever. Emily who friend zoned me so I gave up, Cathryn who I didn't go after because one of my other friends Tim crushed on her too, and Elliot(born female at birth but transgendered himself to male) who I have a standing crush on but haven't done anything about said crush because he is a guy even if he looks like a girl. I choose them because they are the only people I know I am kind of attracted to. Once I confirm my choices I pass out and wake up on a grassy field with everyone I chose around me. {Congratulations on taking your first step towards godhood. Gaining followers. Now you just need to make them believe you are a god now and can do miracles. GOOD LUCK} they all wake up and I explain to them what's going on. I told my soulmates i chose them as friends though and left out the soulmate part, for obvious reasons. They are skeptical and i feel the same way. I also have a bunch of new instincts/innate understandings ingrained into me now. like how I can do miracles purely by will or bring up a menu to view my stats and believer menu and a miracle store. I can only do small miracles until I get enough belief points. Which is the quantified belief of all my followers. I have 3 belief points so far. So to prove it to them I make a small rain cloud about 3 inches in diameter. Explaining to them that the more they believe in me the bigger and more powerful types of miracles I can do. Suddenly I gain a massive 100 belief points. Seems they believe me. I seem to have an innate knowledge of everything I can do with said points. I can punch a hole in the dimensional barrier and transfer myself over to earth with 5 million dollars and stay on earth for one hour before being shoved back to this world with everything I want to bring back with me. I explain what i want to do and then punch a hole through the barrier. I awaken in my house. I quickly rush to my moms car and drive to a U-Haul rental place. I steal a U-Haul and get out of there. I go back to my house and take everything from my room and stuff and shove it in the truck before rushing to the store. While there i grab a couple of solar generators and some dvd players and dvds and every fruit and vegetable they have then i raid the meat section and grab a bunch before grabbing a bunch of water bottles. Then I rush over to home depo and grab some plywood and insulation and two by fours and electric tools to build a shelter for the night. Then i rush to mcdonalds and ask for 3 family bundles. I then go and buy a bunch of mattresses before finally my time runs out and me and everything I bought sitting inside of the truck and the truck are slingshot back to the grassy feilds i came from. I say hi to my dad and he helps me make a quick shelter and stuff and setup a couple beds for us to sleep on. Then i go and set up the generators and hook them up to the tv i took from my room and me and the family watch some dvds before eating McDonalds and going to sleep. I then wake up and am told i was asleep for a whole month and that they upgraded the house and stuff.it looks like an actual house now instead a bunch of hastily put up walls and shoddy beds. {LEVEL UP. LEVEL UP. LEVEL UP. 10 MORE NOTIFICATIONS} I look at my menu and see a bunch more notifications before seeing the reason {Congratulations you have provided your followers with everything needed to survive a month. You weren't expected to do this until level 10 so your level status has been updated to show your current true level. You are level 12. You must pick two major domains and two minor domains. These will be the powers you are best at using. For example, Using a strength domain to enhance your strength will be 5 belief points without the domain it is 50 bp. You can still use other domains. They will just be harder to use.} I look at the list of domains. {SPACE,LOVE,TIME,MIRACLES,FAMILY,MAGIC,MONEY,THUNDER,WATER,DEAD} I see only a couple I feel the need to get. For my major domains I choose. Space because dimensional shenanigans like supply runs to earth. Miracles because I need to preform miracles to grow in power and it seems like a jack of all trades. For my minor domains I choose. Time because it sounds powerful and might allow me to make the hour I spent on earth a couple days. Money because it will allow me to have a bunch of currency wherever I go in any dimension and I need that. {DOMAINS GRANTED. You will now receive prayers that people pray for that correlate to your domains. if someone prays for space to become shorter you will be the one who gets the prayer. If someone prays for a miracle you will be the one who gets the prayer. etcetera. You need to do your best to answer these prayers as they are a great way to gain new followers.} Suddenly i gain i headache as some ones voice seems to enter the back of my head.

"I’m not fine, I’m not fine. I can’t move the mountains. I can’t make the flowers bloom. I can’t take another night up in my room. Waiting on a miracle. I can’t heal what’s broken. Can’t control the morning rain or a hurricane. Can’t keep down the unspoken invisible pain. Always waiting on a miracle, a miracle. All I need is a change. All I need is a chance. All I know is I can’t stay on the side. I would move the mountains. Make new trees and flowers grow. Someone please just let me know: where do I go? I am waiting on a miracle, a miracle. Who I am inside, so what can I do? I’m sick of waiting on a miracle, so here I go. Bless me now as you blessed us all those years ago. When you gave us a miracle... …Am I too late for a miracle?"
Prayer from Mirabel Madrigal.
----------------------------------------
OWWW. Was that a prayer. That was painful... …and a little heartbreaking. how much pain is this girl carrying. I need to give her a miracle. No Mirabel you are not too late. I'm coming for you. Just hold on a little longer.
