Title: Adam and Eve
…
Adam's eyes fluttered open, his consciousness slowly returning as he found himself in a lush garden, surrounded by vibrant flora and gentle sunlight filtering through the foliage.
Confusion clouded his mind as he tried to piece together his surroundings, his memories hazy and fragmented.
As he sat up, Adam's gaze fell upon the figure of Leucadius, who sat before him with an air of authority, his presence commanding respect and reverence.
Adam tried to make out who this figure was but all he was was Light.
Adam's instincts told him that this man held great power, a power beyond his comprehension.
"Welcome, Adam," Leucadius spoke, his voice filled with a sense of paternal warmth. "You have been chosen for a purpose greater than you can imagine."
Adam's brow furrowed in confusion, his mind racing with questions. "Who... who are you?" he stammered, his voice trembling with uncertainty.
Leucadius smiled reassuringly, extending a hand towards Adam. "I am your creator, your guide, your father," he declared, his tone filled with solemnity and conviction
Adam's eyes widened in disbelief, his mind struggling to grasp the enormity of Leucadius' words. "My... my creator?" he echoed, his voice barely above a whisper.
Leucadius nodded. "Yes, Adam. I have fashioned you from the very essence of existence, sculpting your form and shaping your destiny. You are the first of your kind, the progenitor of a new era of humanity."
Adam's heart pounded in his chest, a mixture of awe and apprehension coursing through his veins. "What... what am I?" he whispered, his voice barely audible.
Leucadius clasped Adam's hand firmly, his grip steady and reassuring. "You are Man, the pinnacle of evolution, endowed with intelligence, strength, and resilience beyond measure. You are the chosen vessel for my divine purpose, the harbinger of a new age."
"I..?"

Gaea's POV
What the hell is that beat doing? I'm not sure if he fully understands the enormity of his actions. My senses were clouded for a moment there and I didn't notice, but this…Man…has so much potential within him.
I could feel both mine and Leucadius' essence in him, and unlike my normal Essence in that of every living being on Earth, this one is more…Vivid.
Like he was born from the very earth itself.
As for the potential in him. I dare say that should he remain here for so long, he could rival my grandchildren, and considering Leucadius' essence in him…I dread to imagine what he could think up.
One Leucadius is already enough, two of them? What kind of stuff will they come up with?
Ah! That reminds me. Where is the woman? Shun's Essence is more Vivid in this Man, I wonder if mine is more Vivid in her.
With that thought in mind I telepathically sent a message to Leucadius and he opened his weird ass Portal for me to go in.
Look at me say 'Weird ass'. Leucadius really is a bad influence on me…and I am the older one.
Shaking my head, I walked into his pocket dimension and couldn't help marveling at it. This wasn't my first time here, but whenever I come in, I'm always amazed at how beautifully he managed to craft it.
Something tells me there is still room for improvement but even I don't know what it is.
"Mother Gaea." A Leucadius look alike greeted me as I entered and I nodded.
"Where's the Female?" I asked the artificial life form with a dry tone.
"This way." It said before leading me towards a pod.
I didn't like this artificial life form that Leucadius created. Something in me tells me it's not supposed to exist but since it hasn't shown any signs of being destructive, I just let its presence slide.
Not like I could do anything about it though. Leucadius said it can't leave the Dimension but it knows everything that happens around it. That's to say I'm not even safe in my own realm.
Perhaps it's time to ask Luca to leave?
Nah. What kind of mother would I be to chase my own child away?
"There she is."
"My. My." I couldn't help but exclaim at the sight of the woman. The man out there was divine in handsomeness, but what level of handsomeness hadn't I seen?
This woman however…Was just so beautiful. I doubt even the Goddess of Beauty is as beautiful as her. Too bad she's a Mortal.
Luca said he won't have them stay here for long. I'd like to see how he'll chase them away.
"She's beautiful."
"But of course. She was created by my master." ASPECT, the artificial life form said with a bit of pride which I totally ignored. If not because it looked like Luca, I wouldn't even be able to condone its presence.
"I'd like to leave now."
"Understood. However, forgive me for stepping out of my boundaries, Mother, but there's something of utmost importance I'd like to pick your head on." ASPECT said but I shook my head.
"Your creator has more knowledge on whatever it is you want to ask me. Pick on his head." Saying that, I turned and continued walking the way I came.
As I reached, I saw a portal waiting for me there and I stepped in Only to meet Leuca observing the Man from the skies.
"What are you doing?"
"I don't think he'd be able to handle the loneliness." Leuca said with a small smile on his face.
"Look at you acting like a father." I said while rolling my eyes. "Why is the woman still under?"
"Hmm. I'm thinking of introducing her later…but I think it's better now than later." Leuca said.
"Suit yourself. I still have some touches to make." Saying that I left the dimension. "Don't just do anything that'll harm my home."
"...You got it."
Hmm? Why did he hesitate before replying. Don't tell me… Sigh! That brat.
…
Leucadius Pov.
As Gaea left, I couldn't help but feel a twinge of guilt at her words. She trusted me, but her concern for her realm was justified. I had to ensure that my actions wouldn't disrupt it in any way.
Turning my attention back to Adam, I watched him with a mixture of anticipation and apprehension. He was the culmination of countless hours of research, experimentation, and planning.
"Adam," I called out, my voice carrying across the garden as I descended from the skies to still on my chair. "There is much for you to learn, much for you to experience."
Adam looked up at me with a mixture of awe and uncertainty, his eyes reflecting the swirling emotions within his soul. "What... what is my purpose?" he asked, his voice tinged with both curiosity and trepidation.
"You are the harbinger of a new age, Adam," I replied, my tone solemn yet filled with conviction. "I will create for you a woman. With her, you'll bring about a new era."
With that, I extended my hand towards Adam and placed it on his head effectively shutting down his consciousness once more.
Even with his heightened brain activity, he was still a Human in the end.
I placed him on the ground and then opened a Boomtube, walked in and walked out seconds later with the body of Eve.
I placed her beside him and then woke them up.
As Adam and Eve regained consciousness, their eyes met for the first time, and a spark of recognition passed between them. They were drawn to each other instinctively, as if their souls recognized a connection that transcended common sense.
Yup. Love at first sight.
"Welcome, Eve," I spoke softly, addressing the woman lying beside Adam. "You have been chosen to accompany Adam on his journey, to be his partner and equal in this new world."
Eve's eyes widened in wonder as she took in her surroundings, her gaze flickering between me and Adam. "Who... who are you?" she asked, her voice trembling with uncertainty.
"I am your creator," I declared, my voice resonating with authority. "I have fashioned you both from the very essence of existence, shaped your forms"
Adam reached out to Eve, his hand seeking hers as a sense of warmth and familiarity washed over them. "You and I," he whispered, his voice filled with reverence and awe.
"Yes, Adam," Eve replied, her eyes shining with newfound understanding. With Adam and Eve united, the stage was set for the next chapter of their existence. As they stood together in the lush garden, surrounded by the beauty of creation, a sense of anticipation filled the air.
And so I set out giving them instructions on the do's and don'ts within the garden.
"Name whatever you see. Be it insects, animals, trees, fruits…whatever. Eat of any fruit of this garden except for that one over there." I said and pointed to one tree Gaea had said she was keeping for one of her grandchildren.
Probably. It was an Apple tree. Big deal. She even forbade me from taking it but from the energy wafting off the thing, I won't even want to eat the thing.
What kind of wisdom, knowledge or understanding do I still need? All I need to do is ask, activate my skill and Boom… I receive.
"Do I make myself clear?" I asked with a stern tone while internally, I was rolling my eyes at myself. Like hell being stern to two kids would make them listen.
I already prepared a place I'll send them should they eat or the fruit, as for the Children of Set that'll make them eat it. Heh, I already prepared a Super Nature Curse I'll cast on them.
As for Adam and Eve…I'll just look after them for a while. My next project now should be…Project Heavenly Realm.
I gotta find a place to place this pocket dimension of mine in and make it a sort of Divine Realm. I still need beings to use in the Creation of Angels. Since I'm already playing biblical God here, I should make sure they're no loopholes.
Perhaps I should visit the Earth and explore a bit..?
Nah.
The Spatial Crack ASPECT had discovered a few years ago connecting to the Serpent's Sea looked more alluring. And something told me that laying a curse on the serpent alone won't do any good.
I had to lay the curse on their progenitor…but the mothafucka is an Elder God…
Perhaps it's time I checked out where I scale in terms of strength.
