At the very top of the world, there lived angels, from the highest ranking seraphims to the lowest of angels. There it was a grand civilisation, where the angels watched over mankind, as ordered of their creator.
Despite the normal beliefs that humans usually associate angels with, they had their own land and form of currency. The murals that depicted the angels were old and outdated. The only reason that it was that way was because the angels that were tasked to head down to earth wore what was minimum in the beginning because it was easier that way. When the angels tried to 'modernise', the reaction were hilarious.
When compared with the human race, one could not blame how advanced the angels were. The level of intelligence in the land of man was simply too low at the moment for them to understand. The angels had science and magic on their side, while the humans had just began to utilize magic as a form of protection.
Watching over the human race, it was sometimes hard enough not to facepalm in frustration and anger at the actions this primitive civilization took. They experimented with dropping meteors, that had valuable metal and materials that could improve their standard of living. Instead, the people just ended up worshipping it.
Lucifer, one of the head angels could only roll around and laugh, as the attempts got worse. She clutched her stomach when they offered a sacrifice to the ball of fire. Her stomach hurts from all the laughing, she could not stand up properly.
----------------------------------------
As one of the head angels, Lucifer had free reign of her actions. One could compare her to those lazy people in class, yet able to pass every test as one of the top students. Her beauty was dazzling to the other because of her angel status and held skills that would make any hero drool and beg for. Her only flaw was being stubborn and lazy.
Gabriel, another head angel, occasionally visited Lucifer that was locked up in her room. And today, she did the same thing, visiting her good friend after shutting herself in for a decade.
A gentle knock and a muffled voice replied.
Gabriel, at her best was dazzling, rivaling Lucifer in beauty. They both had dazzling long hair, that shone and threatens to blind anyone who dares to look at it directly if not prepared. Their bodies were a symbol of worship that any man dare not to look away. Donning a simple white dress that easily wrapped around their bodies, it was simply mesmerizing.
Even so...
With all that beauty, what Gabriel saw when she entered her room, forced her grimace in disgust, something that was rare and unheard of. What she saw was a typical NEET situation, snacks thrown all around, the room was an absolute mess.
Lucifer hanged her head back to look at her visitor only to find a pair of hand that threaten to poke her eyes out.
"MY EYES! GABRIEL, STOP!!!"
"YOU. LAZY. FOOL. WHAT. ARE. YOU. DOING?!"
Emphasizing on every word, Gabriel poked her nails into Lucifer's eyes and she screamed in pain.
"Owowowow!"
Running around like a headless chicken, Gabriel sighed in annoyance and turned to what was she doing. What would the other angels say? Nothing! Because she was simply too eccentric to handle and no one dared to defy her like what Gabriel did.
While Lucifer healed her eyes with a swipe of her hand as she calmed down, Gabriel was more interesting at the 'thing' at her table. It was a body that was similar to a young human girl, except it was pale white and lacked any possible orifices. It looked it those mannequins that one could put armor on.
"...Dare I ask what is this...body? Is it a body anyway?"
"Ahhh...it hurts...Gabriel!"
"What."
"N-Nothing..."
Lucifer smiled in annoyance. Her eyes were all healed but it was always a painful process to do so. Rubbing her eyes, Gabriel could only smiled as her anger faded. Over so long, there was always a nostalgic feeling between the two.

Lucifer climbed into Gabriel's arms, forcing Gabriel to carry her like a princess, copying how the heroes did whenever they saved the damsel in distress. Letting her arms go around Gabriel's neck, she snuggled into her ample bosom and sighed.
"Well?"
"Hmm...let me stay like this for a bit..."
Lucifer snuggled for a bit, before letting one of arms free and snapped her fingers. Her room instantly was cleaned up and what traces of dirt and dust disappeared. She snapped a second time and the 'body' that Gabriel was concerned with sat up.
"So, for the past...10 hours...how goes the human world?"
"Hmm. 10 years for the world below. But, to answer, nothing much as you can imagine."
"Ahh...it's still the same huh?" Lucifer giggled. "No matter. So as you can see Gabriel, I created a homunculus!"
"It's certainly well made...but it seems lacking for now." Gabriel nodded with approval.
"Yes! This one is my best one yet. The materials are of the highest quality, the skin was especially hard to get right without destroying it with my mana."
"Would your plan work? I mean..." Gabriel sighed as she rolled her eyes. "The meteors aren't working so far at all."
Lucifer's plan was simply weird, even for the creator himself to accept. She wanted to send one of her daughters down to learn what the human race has to offer. If it goes well, maybe she could even learn from the beastman, elves and other races. Even from the demons.
"She would be the sign of a new world...if your plan worked."
Lucifer sighed as Gabriel commented. Her plan had a major flaw. Her attempts in creating a being to do this task was simply too much for any'body' to handle. Her first few attempts had the body exploded due to the mana intake.
"I-It will! I made sure with absolute attention to the composition and materials! Right now, I just need to create a personality for her."
"I see...make sure she doesn’t get your perverted tendencies."
"Hey!"
"All I see is the delicate workmanship...and the intricate designs that one would barely see."
Gabriel sighed. The whole body was so well-crafted for normal people to tell that this was a doll. It was a beautifully crafted doll, to the smallest details that includes the female organ. She couldn't but imagine Lucifer looking herself in the mirror as she crafted the body. Somehow, that was amusing to imagine.
Getting to business, Lucifer removed herself from Gabriel's embrace. The body was placed in the middle of the now empty room, which Lucifer had cleared with a simple trick. Gabriel stood at the door, waiting patiently as Lucifer started.
She focused her energies as a pentagram formed. The body floated up in the air. The density of the mana in the room soon became so dense that it was possible to kill lower rank angel with such pressure. Lucifer was serious for the first time after so many thousands of years. Her creation will be born.
The body was threatening to explode, but Lucifer didn’t falter. The body was somehow managing to take in that mana. It even surprise Gabriel, as the body started to came to life.
Next, an explosion. The two blinked before the light flashed and the land of angels shook for a moment.
The homunculus body was floating as the dust settled down with a loud snap. What mana that was left was absorbed by the girl's body.
----------------------------------------
The two angels stared at the doll-turned girl, wondering if anything was alright. All she did was stare back at them, her head tilted as if she was asking a question. Her body based on the build of young angels and the girl certainly fitted the bill.
Her hair was silver and was slightly shorter as her hair reached down her waist, while Lucifer's was even longer, way down below her butt. Her eyes were crimson red, the base color for any homunculus. And her body was flawless, there wasn't a trace of damage from the mana intake on the body. Lucifer was grinning at her handiwork. She motioned the girl to come over to her, and she did.
Getting on all fours, the girls crawled towards to Lucifer and stopped at where her hand was. First Lucifer patted her 'daughter' on the head, which she reacted by closing her one eye as she ruffled her hair slightly.
"Good, good, her motor functions are normal. Too bad she can only crawl for now..."
Next, Lucifer begin to work her hands all over the girl's body, pulling her cheeks, prying her mouth as far as she could stretch it, and even rubbing her fingers over the little nubs on the flat area of her torso. The girl felt her body tremble slightly and Gabriel smacked Lucifer over on the head with her fist.
"S.t.o.p."
"I'm just examining her!"
Gabriel raised her two fingers, asserting the fact that her eyes would face her wrath again.
"Okay, okay...Luciel, I'm sorry, ok?"
"Luciel?"
"Isn’t it good, Luciel?"
Now christened as Luciel, she nodded. Lucifer frowned for a moment, trying to find a semblance of a reaction, if there was any at all.
"What's wrong, Lucifer?"
"Hmm, I guess emotions are too early for her to display..."
Her daughter tilted her head again and Lucifer glomped her .
"Whatever, we have time~"
Gabriel could only sigh and shake her head. Still, the sight before her was hilarious. Watching Lucifer fawning all over her just created daughter, no angel could dare to imagine nor even see this and except to live.
"Pa..Pa?"
Luciel looked at Gabriel as she mumbled out her first words. Lucifer was in shock and so was Gabriel! But for different reasons.
"Luciel, what about me?"
"Ma...Ma?"
Lucifer squealed, her image of an head angel was surely shattered if anyone were to see her in a state like this, hugging her naked daughter that was seemingly emotionless. Gabriel patted Luciel on the head, a soft light glowed.
"Aw, Gabriel. You shouldn't have." Lucifer chuckled.
"Anything for my daughter." Gabriel chuckled also. "It's normal for me to me to protect her."
The two discussed about their plans, and Luciel listened. It seemed like they had plans for her. She would soon grow like a normal human would and go on an journey that even the angels could not expect.
