"I think it is time to start..."
Axiom looked within his mind. It had become infinitely complex due to him studying the core mechanics behind his animaxiom energy type.
He had mastered 'infinite' energy. He had also created his own multiverse. But this multiverse lacked something crucial. What did it lack? It lacked life!
The conditions in his realities were subpar. Axiom had experienced being trapped by gods in the past. He didn't wish for something like that to happen again.
Axiom looked at the entangled multiverse. The infinite assortment of universes that overlapped one another. This rapid expansion of reality made him realize something crucial.
"Becoming the [System]? What bullshit!"
"I could never return to being simply human."
Axiom couldn't even imagine himself being in a human body again. He had transcended such limitations.
"My power once lacked a foundation. Back then, I didn't understand how my soul relics worked. While I did know the origin of my seals. Whether that be concentration, true vision, extraordinary sense, deification..."
"Tsk."
"I have lost both body and soul..."
"In my multiverse. I am omnipotent."
"But..."
"What am I?"
"My consciousness lacks an anchor. In a sense, it has truly become independent. But shouldn't I be able to leave my multiverse? Perhaps I have simply traded one prison for another..."
Axiom pulled up his seal.
[Seal of Axiom]
"This seal was made from the combined powers of my other seals..."
"Mind over matter..."
Axiom thought clearly about his multiverse.
"Without entities with consciousness capable of making decisions. Each universe is nearly identical. The inherent randomness isn't enough..."
"Nothing is random!"
Axiom realized he would need to interfere. Axiom was like a phantom that couldn't interact with the physical world. So why did he consider himself omnipotent in his multiverse?
It was due to his seal and memories. It was as if he had memorized the cheatcodes of reality.
Axiom tried to focus on the massive world he had constructed. His universes weren't very familiar or similar to his previous world. They were massive in scale. The 'world' was many times larger then the largest worlds in his original world. It had been so long that he had been alone that those memories had become unreal.
The memories of him being a normal human were so distant and long ago that he almost considered them fairy tales.
Axiom tried to make small changes to his reality. If he was in his previous reality. If he was in an ordinary universe. He would've ascended through sheer willpower. He would instantly have comprehended laws and become an immortal.
But now. He didn't even consider such an outcome. Nor did he long for it.
Immortal? Laws?
What is the use of such power?
Axiom failed to make the changes he wanted. He was unable to make his world suitable for life. It wasn't that he wasn't capable. He was simply too 'strong'.
It was like trying to draw a circle on a piece of paper using a chainsaw. It was basically impossible. His actions itself destroyed the multiverse he had created.
"I... failed?"
Axiom had completely destroyed his reality on accident.
Axiom thought clearly about his multiverse. He wasn't too sad about his failure. He had essentially infinite attempts now that he had learned how to generate infinite energy.
Axiom created his multiverse again. He then failed again, and again, and again.
He was unable to create a stable reality.
After a few years. He felt enlightened!
"That's the problem! I am creating the universe through brute force. I am then trying to do the same thing and change the rules."
What Axiom was doing was akin to trying to sculpt a statue out of a block of glass. It is definitely possible. But it is much easier to 'shape' the glass when it is still 'hot'.
Once it has cooled down. It is easy to accidentally shatter it when trying to make changes.
"This problem is just like the issue I had when trying to make myself a soul with supernatural power. I got around this by making seals and slowly unlocking them."
"I simply need to clearly establish the rules at the exact moment the universe is born."

Axiom purposefully destroyed all of reality.
He was alone in nothingness.
"My original universe had fundamental laws. Things were made up of atoms. Those atoms were made up of subatomic particles like protons, neutrons, and electrons. Those are made up of quarks..."
"You have creatures made up of cells. Those cells are made up of many parts."
"Now that I think about it. A cell itself is almost in parallel with the human anatomy. While the human body has organs, skin, and various systems. Cells have a membrane and organelles and cytoplasm..."
"A human in my original world is actually made up of a lot of different systems."
"The earth that they lived on is also incredibly complex. Whether that be the food chain or the plant life. Not to mention the perfect positioning in the solar system."
"The atmosphere itself that allowed humanity to thrive..."
"The sun."
"If any of these systems was balanced in the wrong way. Everything would unravel. No wonder my attempts at trying to create a suitable and stable reality have failed."
"Stars... planets, astroids..."
Axiom didn't want to copy his original universe.
"The first thing I must design is the building blocks of the universe. The smallest 'particles'."
Axiom began to work. He created what he called the 'animaxiom particle'. This didn't look like a traditional particle. It was made of six sub-particles.
The center of the animaxiom particle was called the 'anima zone'.
This 'zone' was a dimension in itself. Inside of this dimension was a massive amount of information. It basically was the processor and identifier for the entire animaxiom particle.
This zone looked like yin and yang from the outside.
You then had five sub-particles that circled around in a pentagram around the anima zone.
These were called 'elements'.
You had 'wood', 'fire', 'earth', 'metal', and 'water'.
These sub-particles were very special because they had either a positive or negative charge. For example, if you took a animaxiom particle made from AZ:+{wood:+,fire:-,earth:-,metal:-,water:-}. The structure would be a building block for wood. But that wasn't all.
The anima zone could be positive, negative or even neutral!
If the anima zone was neutral. It wouldn't react with anything. It would essentially be a form of spiritual energy. But this doesn't stop it from pushing and bouncing with itself.
It would create something similiar to 'air'. A atmosphere!
If the anima zone was positive. It would be extremely 'solid'.
If the anima zone was negative. It would be able to 'phase'.
Axiom designed it in such a way that there would be essentially 'spiritual' objects. But also 'physical' and 'ghost' type materials. This was the foundation of his universe.
Animaxiom Particles were the basic building the blocks of his reality.
But now you need to understand how he designed the anima zone.
Axiom had studied his own consciousness and figured out a few secrets about consciousness itself. The secret of consciousness in his reality was heavily tied to the anima zone.
Well... It more so had to do with 'electrical signals'.
If the animaxiom particles were layered and were powered by energy. They would act together as processors. So a in theory, with enough of these particles, consciousness would be born.
Whether it be actual power or energy. It didn't really matter.
These animaxiom particles could have formed a similar system to his original reality. But Axiom felt that would be unstable. Axiom wasn't building a scientific world.
It would be a reality with supernatural power. A world he had always wanted to create. The life in his universe likely wouldn't understand anything about the animaxiom particle as they would lack the technology. With the different rules of his reality. Even the way light behaved would make making the equipment needed to observe such phenomena impossible to produce.
There was no cells. There was no DNA or RNA.
The world he created would be in a tug of war between virtual and real.
Think of a video game character. On the outside, they can look like a human. But they are truly hollow. The game designers didn't bother to animate or render their hearts and brain.
The game characters lack the various systems they should have. But don't things still work?
Once Axiom had finished designing the animaxiom particle. He began to play with the various compositions and configurations.
A rock appeared out of nothing.
The laws of his reality were much different compared to an ordinary world. Luckily, he had studied the core mechanics behind his soul relics. He had learned the secrets behind infinite energy and therefore could create infinite matter.
[Seal of Axiom]
The seal became the core of the world for now. A massive amount of animaxiom particles were generated and flowing from the seal.
These animaxiom particles were extremely small. Despite producing billions every second. There was no visual indicators or any changes one could see.
This was on purpose.
Axiom made all of these animaxiom particles anima zone neutral.
"While I have created matter. I lack the rules for a energy source..."
Axiom knew how to make infinite energy. But the problem he faced was his energy was chaotic and too powerful. He didn't want to destroy his reality again.
"It seems the first thing a world should have is a... sun!"
"In my original world. Two nuclei would merge to form a single nucleus. The mass would become less then the two originally. This would transform into energy."
"Fusion!"
"My animaxiom particles also have a 'mass' depending on the anima zone."
"If I allow the animaxiom particles to collide and merge. The resulting fusion can also produce a natural source of energy..."
Axiom continued to produce animaxiom particles for many years. He then took many trillions of the particles and condensed them and purposefully controlled their fusion.
Soon a sun was born.
But despite what you might think. There was no 'light'.
Tiny packets of energy were released from the reaction in the sun. But this was pretty much just castrated animaxiom particles. You 'see' due to the light photons and your eyes.
There are no eyes or photons in his reality.
"While I have designed the source of consciousness in future intelligent life. I haven't resolved the sensory issues."
"Luckily, I can easily program the anima zone to account for this..."
"The main issue I have now is designing gravity..."
The animaxiom particles naturally interacted with themselves. This made it so they weren't all bunched up in the same space. But Axiom had a lot of issues recreating gravity.
Everything was 'floating'.
The problem was the size of his sun being relatively small compared to the world he envisioned.
The more mass an object has the more gravity it has, but this gravity gets weaker with distance. But due to his animaxiom particles being programmed to have mass.
He could 'code' behavior into the anima zone.
The sun in his original universe produced photons. This was a tiny packet of energy. This particle lacked mass. So this meant that his animaxiom particles were getting castrated from the process.
A almost neutral anima zone without the other five sub-particles was shooting in all directions.
Axiom then designed spacetime like a blanket. Axiom lacked 'eyes' and his thinking had evolved over the years he had spent deciphering his soul relics.
This 'blanket' of spacetime acted in conjunction with the rules he had designed!
His universe now had space, time, mass, matter and energy!
Axiom had did it! He had established the core rules of his universe as he formed reality. Now he just needed to design the human body and soul.
There wouldn't be 'evolution' exactly.
Think of it like a game world. Axiom needed to design the 'map' and 'players' himself. Otherwise nothing would really happen. There was no world.
He had left rules in the anima zones.
This was a 'backdoor' he had left for himself.
This wasn't exactly the multiverse... yet.
"This is just the beginning..."
