Jackson lay on the grass, heaving in and out air. He had tried for hours to 'shape' a world, but he couldn't figure out how to do it. The only answer he got from golden rectangle was to use 'Divine Energy'.
"What the hell is Divine Energy!" He shouted, but again, the rectangle didn't come up. The only thing that came to his mind on what could be Divine Energy was the golden stuff he had seen.
Jack blinked, then slapped himself for not realizing the obvious. The golden stuff was the Divine Energy. So, Jack sat up, crossed his legs, and put his hands in his lap.
Jack focused on the tug he had felt before, trying to replicate it when he felt the tug again. Opening his eyes, he saw the golden arms once again. Despite not having this many limbs before, he could move them with ease.
He made them move like they were rolling clay into a ball, but instead of clay, it was the golden stuff. Soon, he had a ball of golden energy which he tossed from hand to hand. He then focused on hardening it into a ball.
After a few minutes, he finally had a grey ball. Then, Jack had an idea. While he could repeat the process again to make water and stuff, Jack had a better idea. A more lazy one.
This was the hardest he had ever worked in his life and his previous one, but his idea would make it easier. Jack moved the ball to the side and had it held by a hand. With the remaining nine, he split it into two projects.
The first was creating a new type of energy. Call him paranoid, but if he could use Divine Energy, why not anybody else? So he decided to make a new energy based off of the many RPG games he played. It's name? Mana. He copied the Divine Energy, but made it weaker so one couldn't create a nuke out of thin air. More like different types of Mana could manipulate different elements to do magical things.
The second project was to create a race that was entirely made of Mana. They would shape the world by creating water, continents, and others. He would call them Titans, and make their body's be made from their specific element. He had to finish Mana first, and he did. He used the arms to push the blue energy into the planet. The planet then grew in size and blue cracks appeared all across it. With this done, he focused all of his attention on the Titans. He created six basic ones based off of the elements from video games.
Fire, Water, Earth, Air, Light, and Dark. The Titans held a humanoid shape, so nothing crazy. He was finished, but he needed to add one final touch. Using his own two hands, he let the Divine Energy flow through them, as he spread them apart.
A golden sphere made up of golden symbols sprung up. Jack called this 'Divine Code' and used it to help him create Mana. Basically, it let him add rules to the things he creates. Their lifespan, how they reproduce, how smart, how hard, stuff like that. Basically, while he called it Divine Code, it was the laws of the universe.
While he wrote the Divine Code for Titans, the Divine Arms added the finishing touches on said Titans. When Jack finished, he pushed the DC onto the Titans, and watched as they weaved into every fiber of their being. Jack then pushed the Titans onto the planet, which he has yet to name. The Rectangle popped up in his vision.
❕ You have created your first race. 'Titan' added to logbook.
That was cool. He would have to check it out later.
With his projects finished, he put the planet on Zedgrasil, and the flow of time started to move on the planet. He watched for a few minutes as the Titans sprung into existence. Jack then turned around ans walked towards the house. But before opening the door, he looked at his hand, and using the new energy he created, a small ball of flame sprung to life. He walked inside, and into his room. He sat down at his computer, and it turned on without him doing anything. So, Jack switched to YouTube and started to watch videos while munching on potato chips he created.
Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.
"All right. That's enough."
Jack pushed up from his chair as the snapped the never-ending bowl of chips out of existence. God, he loved this power. Or was it Jack, he loved this power? He really intrigued him.
Anyway, he walked out of the house and towards Zedgrasil. He looked at the orb that was attached to Zedgrasil, and used DA to grab it and bring it close. He smiled.
The orb was covered in water, and had four primary landmasses, along with some islands. Also, also, around three finger lengths away was a large moon with it's own moon floating around it.
Jack was happy that his plan worked. He then noticed one picular thing. He watched as one Titan, the last Titan walking north towards the center of one of the landmasses. He zoomed in and watched the Titan as watched the planet's history.
----------------------------------------
The last Titan finally reached where he was created. After years of walking across the Earth and through the water that he and his brethren had created. He looked up, up towards the night sky, the greatest thing that the Space Titans had made. He looked towards the moon and the rising sun, the Earth and Fire Titans had been so proud of their creations.
He looked towards himself. Earth made up his body, along with fire, water, air, and all other elements. He was the greatest creation that the Titans had made. One single Titan made from a piece of each of themselves. When all the other Titans began to sleep , he finished their works. He finished the oceans, the moon, the sun, the land, the stars, the passage of time. He had finished them all.
Now, there was nothing left. He made is own changes, like bringing up earth in the shape of his back, making cracks in the ground for water to flow through, creating a form of water in the sky. All that was left was for him to join his brethren, and his job would be complete.
He stepped into the pit, one foot at a time. He lay, face down, with the large spike that was his back sticking up from the ground. He settled in, and used the earth around him to fill in any gaps. He closed his eyes, which were just above the ground. Then, he heard a voice. It calmed him, it made him feel at peace.
"Good Job." It was two words, but it filled him with accomplishment. His Creator had thanked him. And with these parting words, he slept.
----------------------------------------
Jack stared at the sleeping giant with a smile on his face. He forced away his sleep so he could finish the projects of others. He had congratulated him on that. He smiled. This wouldn't be the last time Titanus awoke. Yes, he named the Titan and made him the new leader of the Titans, who would protect the world from great threats.
But then Jack noticed a problem. On the planet, there was too much Mana. Mana was pure energy, and even with the Titans consuming a small amount of to keep them alive as they slept, it would still cause problems. Sure, Mana helped things live, but even too much of a good thing was bad. So that led to his next creation. Beings that would keep Mana at safe levels without him having to constantly do it.
Jack rested the planet on a DA while the others made a new creation. He made something that was very famous in his old world. The scaly beasts of legends, Dragons.
With his new creations, he kept to the basics of dragons. Lizards with horns, wings, long life span, could breath out different elements, and extremely hard to kill. But, he took some liberties. They consumed Mana and used it to strengthen themselves, but only Mana that matched the color of their scales. But, Jack didn't want them to be unkillable beasts who could destroy the world, so he came up with a few things.
When using their elemental breath, flying, and elemental attacks, they use a lot of Mana, and when they strengthen their body it would only be temporary. They also required Mana to grow.
With that out of the way, he created six different 'sub-species' of dragons, just like the Titans. He also made it so the Mana they consumed affect their personalities a bit. He also gave them freewill unlike what he did with the Titans. Snapping his fingers, the Dragons turned into eggs and mulitplied. He put them all over the planet, but made sure to put them where their element was the most common.
Jack sighed. He finished the Mana problem, but it was exhausting. He never worked so hard before, so it made sense he was tired. He walked back inside his house and sat on the couch. He looked at the Rectangle saying it added Dragons to the logbook before asking a question. "Alright, are there other gods besides me?"
Answer: Yes
"Can I meet them?"
Yes, though it wouldn't be recommend until you have your base world set up.
"Hah... All of this is so hard... I just want to be lazy..." He dismissed the windows before laying on his bed. "Geez... I wish I had someone to help me with all this..." And Jack fell asleep for the first time since he became a god.
