In the Thirteenth Universe, in the galaxy designated as Galaxy GO619 is a planet known as Ko. The planet is tidally locked to its star but because of the fact that it has four moons it experiences climates, seasons and tides.
But this doesn't mean every part of the planet is habitable. The centre of the side which faces the sun is too hot to support normal life so only very powerful beings can go there.
The opposite side of the planet, The Darkside, experiences the opposite of what the Lightside experiences. The centre is so cold that only the most powerful beings can reach there.
Life thrives on the edges of both sides and the inhabitants of the Lightside have evolved to need less or no sleep.
Since life on the Darkside is harsher, the beings on the Darkside evolved into very powerful creatures compared to those on the Lightside.
Occasionally, powerful creatures from the Darkside would flood the Lightside and kill as many creatures of the Lightside as they like.
This happened more than five Great Cycles ago. One of the intelligent creatures of the Lightside, The Xerxi prayed to their gods for protection and the gods created a barrier that divides the Lightside and the Darkside.
This barrier prevents powerful creatures of the Darkside from coming to the Lightside but the weak creatures can occasionally go through.
*******
On the Lightside, the Xerxi created their own civilizations. Skin color brought the first divide and nations sprouted from each side creating smaller divisions.
Coming to the present, Rox fell into a great forest that divides two kinds of Xerxi. The Red and Blue Xerxi.
This great forest houses a lot of powerful creatures but there is one part of the forest that even the powerful creatures avoid.
It is known as the North.
The North became very dangerous because there was a mana anomaly there that turns the normal creatures there into magic beasts.
It also creates creatures of mana. The creatures created from mana by the mana anomaly are referred to as monsters and they are generally more powerful than the normal creatures because they have mana in abundance.
*******
The part of the Great Forest of Melda that Rox fell is closer to the Red Xerxi which made him come in contact with the Red Xerxi first.
He took them to his base and he has now turned them into his subordinates.
After letting them all take their baths and wash their clothes, he decided he would go prepare himself as well.
He took a bath and with the help of his trusty assistant, Ansah, he chose the best outfit for the occasion.
Rox wore a sleek, high-collared black coat with intricate orichalcum threading to symbolize his divine status. Orichalcum is a variant of silver that has high mana content making it more steady and an easy conductor of mana compared to normal silver.
The coat is adorned with a koara gold crest on the chest, featuring a stylized motif of his family crest. Koara Gold is a highly valued metal in the Multiverse which glimmers with divinity. This metal can mesmerize you if you are not accustomed to it.
His pants are black, made of a thousand years old cotton from the divine cotton tree of the planet Soyzy which has a subtle sheen to it.
The pants are tucked into his knee-high mithril boots, which have a subtle orichalcum buckle. Mithril is another variant of silver which is usually used for making armour.
An orichalcum-studded black belt cinches at his waist, holding a gleaming Raza sword with an ornate hilt. Raza is a deep green metallic alloy known for its steadiness. It is usually used in making high-end swords. The sword he is currently having is his fifth dummy sword which is very powerful in its own right.
"Perfect.". Rox said after checking himself in front of a mirror and went back to his new throne room.
*******
In the throne room, Etit and the others were waiting for the return of their Lord and Master.
This text was taken from Royal Road. Help the author by reading the original version there.
As they were waiting, a divine figure entered the room forcing them all to fall on their knees and start worshipping the figure.
The bearing of their Lord was beyond their wildest imaginations.
Simply put, they were mesmerized and astonished. No being in the universe is supposed to look that divine and radiant.
Rox was unparalleled in their eyes and from hence, Rox was engraved in their hearts as the pinnacle of existence.
Rox walked majestically to his throne and sat on it.
After he saw that his outfit did the trick, he was so overjoyed in his heart that his hair started shining a brilliant yellow making him look even more divine to his subordinates. Rox said thanks to Ansah before getting back to his subordinates.
He looked down at his subordinates and said with a majestic tone while exuding a figurative divine aura; "Raise your heads and sit down.".
Still mesmerized, Etit said; "Pleaze My God, allow uz to keep kneeling, for we can not zit in the prezence of a divine being zuch az yourzelf.". The others kept nodding their heads affirming Etit's statement.
This is when Rox realized he may have gone too far trying to impress them. He immediately stored his koara gold crest in his spacial ring but his subordinates were still mesmerized.
"Snap out of it and sit down." Rox commanded and they did as he commanded.
"Before we get to the reason I invited you all here, Zairitz, why do you find it hard to pronounce the 'es' sound?".
Sairitz bowed her head and explained; "My God,-"
"Call me Lord or Master."
"Yez, My Lord. Mozt Xerxi children find it hard pronounzing zertain zoundz. For most, it is the 'z' ... 'ex'... 'zee', pleaze forgive me Mazter. I am zorry for dizappointing you."
"I am far from being disappointed. You have shown me just how hard it is for you to pronounce it. From hence, I have granted all of you [Multiversal Language Comprehension]. "
"Multiversal Language Comprehension?", after Etit Sairitz made this statement, she halted, turned to Eu, her handmaiden and asked, "Eu, did I just pronounce 'es' properly?"
With joy on her face, Eu answered; "Yes, Mistress." and accepted a hug from Etit.
Then they realized they were still in front of Rox. Etit and Eu turned to Rox and with Etit taking the lead, they apologized for their outburst.
"There is no need for you to apologize. No proper lord will hate seeing his subjects all merry. Also, Etit, I gave you [Multiversal Language Comprehension] because I wanted you to find it easy saying 'es' but I am in no way forcing you to stop saying 'z' entirely. Just don't overdo it. Finding a better way to keep your character without sounding annoying or unbearable will be the ideal state for you."
"Yes, Mazter. I'll do my best."
"That is better. ". A big smile formed on Etit's face when she received Rox's compliment. To her, she has gotten a good start when it comes to finding her way into Rox's heart.
"Mazter, if it isn't a bother, can you tell us what a 'Multiversal' is? I don't think any of us understands what it is."
(It appears even with [Multiversal Language Comprehension] you can not understand something if you have no clue of its concept. I can not blame them because most people on Earth and even Soyzy do not know about the Multiverse. Well, I think the Soyzians know about the Multiverse now. Anyway, I have to explain the Multiverse and my presence here to them in a way that will make me look more awesome. I know I already have them in the bag but more adoration doesn't hurt, right? I just have to choose the right words.). Rox thought and started explaining to his subordinates; "It isn't a bother. Listen carefully for I am going to tell you secrets of your world that even your gods are not aware of."
All around cleared their ears and assumed their most attentive states. "I will answer your questions when I am done explaining so you should interrupt my explanation not.
First and foremost, you, your planet, what you consider your world and your universe were not supposed to exist.". All the subordinates gulped down their saliva.
"There were supposed to be only twelve universes in the Multiverse. The Multiverse is a collection of universes and everything that can be put on that grand scale is referred to as Multiversal which answers Zairitz's question.
The entity who created everything wanted to retire so he let his Guardians create this universe which we call the Thirteenth Universe for his successors to compete in and I am one of the successors.
A Guardian is a being powerful enough to destroy a universe in the blink of an eye that is currently guarding one.
I am the weakest and youngest of the successors. We are called Seeds and our race is Supreme Divine Seed. We are diverse in everything but racial name. Since I am the youngest and weakest, I was given certain advantages that would even the playing field.
My mission here is to learn how to conquer and rule as much of this universe as possible while training to get stronger.
The Guardians and The Supreme God, the one who created everything do not mind us destroying this universe but if I become The Supreme God, I will make sure your universe survives.
This is the simplest way I can explain everything to you. You can now ask any questions you may have."
Au, the strongest female of the special forces who have now become Rox's subordinates politely said; "If I heard this from anyone else, I would have thought the person was spewing nonsense but-"
Before Au finished her statement, Etit interrupted her saying; "How dare you insult our God and Mazter!?". Etit was far gone to accept anyone saying something that isn't praise to her master.
Au knelt down in front of Rox and begged; "I am sorry if I offended you, My Lord."
"You did not offend me. You can continue what you were saying."
"As I was saying, My Lord, if someone else told me this I wouldn't have believed them but it explains your power and why you can grant systems. If all the other Seeds are more powerful than you and have the ability to grant systems as easily as you do, then it goes to show just how insignificant we are."
"As far as I know, I am the only Seed with the ability to easily grant systems as long as one decides to serve me. I can grant higher tier systems to anyone who decides to serve me but the others have to meet certain requirements before their system grants higher tier systems to the people around them and the number is highly limited for them.".
"Thank you for enlightening me, Lord."
"You are welcome." After addressing Au, Rox turned to Etit and asked; "Zairitz, do you have any questions?". Etit's name was supposed to be Sairitz but the moment Rox first called her Zairitz after she became his subordinate, her name on her status changed to Zairitz.
"No, Mazter, I decided I'll follow you and do all that you ask of me with this life you have given me zo there's no way I'll question you. I would have believed you even if you told me you were the creator."
"Zairitz, I appreciate your loyalty but I would love it if you don't follow me like a mindless drone.".
Etit made a curtsey while saying; "Yez, Mazter, I'll do my best in considering everything you tell me and put a lot of thought into doing your bidden.".
"As the only noble and because you are the one I like most out of my current subordinates, I am granting you the title [Knight]. Your system will turn into a sixth-tier system and you will outrank all my current subordinates.". Because of the fact that Rox said he likes Etit, her already red face turned even redder letting Rox see another female blush.
Still blushing, Etit uttered her thanks; "Great thanks, Mazter. I will do my best not to disappoint you."
"If you do your best, I may increase your rank making you even more powerful. This goes for everyone here. Also, Etit, if your family agrees to serve me. Not only will I make your family rule your country, but I may let your family rule the whole planet if you are up to the task."
After Rox granted Etit the [Knight] title, her stats changed from;
