“What the...where am I?” Kishin looked around foolishly and spotted Maha who stood a few meters away.
“Hahaha, my good man Kishin, I will give you two choices now instead of one, so pick my good man.
Your options are, Ant Hill Manual and Ant Ruler Guidance.”
“Wait what are you saying? Why do I have to-”
“Just pick one my good man. No need for questions, in one year you will see why, now choose one.”
“Uhh, ok then but first you have to tell me why am I in a dark room.”
“Hmm, if you really must know then, I teleported us into a container that no one will see nor hear us. Now pick quickly, I'm impatient to carry out my dream immediately.”
“...alright then...I still don't know how you move me into this black room without my noticing, but I choose Ant Hill Manual. Is that something special or what?”
“Yes, it’s a degraded manual of another manual, and it also focus on one specific thing of it more as well. Let's hope you might unlock something I never get to unlock with the manual from a degraded version. Anyway here's the manual, readitreaditreadit.” Throwing the manual excitedly at Kishin, Maha couldn't contain his excitement and repeatedly said the two words rapidly.
“Oh Kay, oh Kay, relax kid, let's see here, first find an ant hill...uh what in the f-” Before he can finish, Kishin was cut off again and appears on a rainforest without his noticing.
With baited breath Kishin ask “you…what are you?”
“You might call me god but I don't like that title so just call me, Mahala, or rather just Maha is good. Wait, that's not good at all, hmm, you can call me Eternal Garden Father or Egg.”
“I don't think that the abbreviation of that is egg…”
“Don't worry about the little details my good man, just read the manual and don't ask anymore questions, I'll take the manual away if you do.” This time Maha sounded cold rather than in the excited voice that he used earlier.
Feeling his spine freezing over at the cold words, Kishin just follow the instructions of the manual obediently rather than asking more questions...he don't want to die just yet.
“Let's see, try to bond with at least 5 ants in the nest...how do I d- uh um.” Kishin was about to ask another question but he manage to stop himself.
“Ah yea that, hmm, I don't have time at the moment because I have a lot of stuff to do, so uh I'll just rewrite the nature of 5 ants.” With a wave of his hand, Maha acquired 5 ants, and with another wave he change the bonding feeling of theirs to Kishin to the minimum value before giving them to Kishin.
“Uh, um, ok, thank you...put the manual over the ants, if it glows you succeeded, if not you are a very sad existence...huh?” Feeling that if he keep questioning himself he might really die, Kishin just go with it now.
When Kishin put the manual over the 5 ants, the book shone with 5 lights that create a pentagon in the middle of the book. The light then flew directly into Kishin’s brain and imprint a set of breathing methods.
Using the next 10 minutes Kishin who keep messing up the rhythm of the breathing, finally have a layer of light just above his skin.
“Woah, what is this? Why do I feel that I can crush a tank?” Saying this Kishin stretch out his hand a grab a rock, he crushed it into smaller chunks. “What?! What is this?!” Can't help it any longer Kishin turn around and looked straight at Maha, who is smiling, and asked a question.
“Oh, you asked a question again, well anyway congrats my good man! You are officially the first person to ever come into contact with the law of Huala. So yea, as long as I exist you will be able to use that manual and teach any amount of people as you wish, to be as strong as you, oh and if you have anymore questions just look in the manual. I'll see you around...Kishin, Hahahaha!” With that Maha disappeared from Kishin’s view.
The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement.
“Who are you really...Egg?” Kishin look at the spot where Maha disappeared from and wondered to himself before feeling 5 being, who he felt are extremely close to himself.
Looking down he saw 5 ants just wandering around on the palm of his palm, once in awhile they stop and run his hand with their antennas. He then looked in the manual for instructions. When he opened the manual again there is a letter inside.
“A message maybe?”
------------------------------------
“Oh man that took longer than I suspected, hmm, maybe I'll act like ‘mysterious god in white space’ with this next person...yea that will do.” Looking around the world, Maha spotted an unfortunate American who got hit by a car in North America.
‘Ah, target acquired.’
Maha with a wave of his hand grabbed the American’s soul and transport it into a random white space he created.
----------------------------------
“Huh? Where...where am I? I thought I got hit by a car and…died.” The American’s soul spoke while looking around in a panic. “Maybe this is heaven? Yea this must be it, it's all white and stuff.”
“No child, you are not in...you know, I don't know why but it is so hard for me to act like a god. Anyway, you are dead miss Camilla Everdeen, and I summon your soul here out of all the other dead people, can you guess why?” Maha is currently releasing a sharp white light around himself, but it’s not painful to looked at, he really do look like a god now with the white robe he changed into when he teleported.
“Are you god? And I do not know father, please tell your humble servant.” The soul then bow clasp her hands together while getting onto her knees, a praying position.
‘Christian eh, well that make this a little easier.’
“You are the second most luckiest person in the world. The first go to a guy named Kishin. Anyway, I will let you live again but you have to follow this manual and read the message in it. Follow that message strictly, and you will get to live while also saving humanity, one year later you will thank me. Now go!” Maha cast Camilla’s soul out of the white space and back into her body.
Camilla slowly opened her eyes to see ambulance and a mass of people surrounding her. Two people with a wheeled bed is about to pick her up but she suddenly stood up, and get on her knees with a book that mysteriously appeared in her hand.
“Thank you, god for my second chance at life, I will not waste your benevolence.” The mass around her was gasping while looking at the Camilla, one moment she is dead as dead can be, while the next she came back to life, as energized as a bull.
A few believer also got on their knees and pray. They have just witness a miracle happened, how could they not believe.
----------------------------------
“Ah man, I shoulda just do this in the beginning, oh well let's find another one before I start. Actually, no I don't, I will be the third force, yeaaa.” Happy with his choice Maha teleported on a random bamboo tree and sat on top.
“Ok, now that's done with, I have to set up the portals now, and...actually nope that's about it.” Maha then scanned the Earth once more to find ideal locations to place the portals.
‘One in the the Amazon Rain forest should be good. One is right under Niagara Falls, next one’s on the moon, one on a cloud, two in random ocean trenches, one on Mt.Fuji, one in a cave, one on a turtle's back? Yea that should be good. Hmm, the last one will be in a volcano on an inconspicuous island. Ok that should be good, now let's get to work.
Going to the places he mentioned, Maha created the portals, he then went in to check if there are any errors before making a whole new world in each portal. In each one there are many different kinds of creatures unimaginable to the humans who have been living in the comfort of their home. He also created landscape that are only seen in animated films. Floating islands? Island that is on a giant's head? Giant space creature that have a small village on it’s back? It is all but small specks in the 10 different world that Maha have created.
He did not stop with just creating these creatures, have also degraded a whole lot of techniques, skills, and spells before littering them into the 10 worlds. He also created a quick formation that forcefully, advance time within the worlds to 10 million years later, a perfect amount of time for the creatures of the world to gain intelligent and also reach a high level of understanding of the manuals that he scattered. A handmade wuxia, fantasy, and sci-fi world if you will.
After finishing his prepared task, Maha create a seal, it will let creature below a certain level to enter Earth, once every 5 years. It also restrict anything above a certain power to enter Earth, and the creatures from earth can do the same thing but their limitations are slightly lower.
He then went to create a world size seal to put into every world. The restriction on this seal is slightly odd, each thing that reached a certain level must complete a trail alone to move on to the next level. A will of the heaven sort of thing. You can decide to never take the trail, but if you do take it and fail, you will distingerate out of existence. However each level trail punishment is different, like let's say the first trial, the worse that could happen is you lost all your power and have to start over. The trails that let you ascend though, will disintegrate and erase your very soul from existence. You will not be able to take anything in with you, unless it is a technique, skill, or spell, it's fair game with any of those.
With all that outta way Maha, seal away his body, give himself the most mediocre talent possible, change his face, keep his short height of barely 3 feet 5 inches, and live life once again in this new world.
However before he did that he have hidden a few manual degraded even further than Ant Hill Manual and Ant Ruler Guidance. The Ant Cultivation Manual, will help the human race survive the up and coming monster horde that will come in 1 year.
