章 1: Creation and the Harbinger

<p>Klypto God of the universe, was beyond tired of the boring universe as it was, in its current state. Out of the trillions of planets in the universe, only 100 billion planets haven't progressed to the advancement as this universe's Head God, would have wished for. Even fewer has advanced lifeforms. <br/><br/>The head God and the creator of the known universe have rewards, specifically, when it came to interactions with divine-less beings. Klypto was most fascinated with a particular race the humans from the planet Earth. In this sector of the universe, the humans were the only ones that had been able to evolve into an mostly advanced life form. Klypto thought mostly advanced because the moment they make any advancements the race always self sabotage themselves for fabricated resources. Most recently paper promissory notes that the humans called money which is a form of currency they commit all kinds of heinous acts for. To Klypto it was completely ridiculous and unnecessary but, since they aren't completely on the brink of destruction Klypto has left the, to their own devices.<br/><br/>"Hmmm...many of the civilizations that I've created have been advancing right on schedule, mostly." Thought Klypto.<br/><br/>All but a few and these humans are included in my personal assessment. These beings, have the shortest lifespan out of all of the sentient beings that I've created in the past. As an experiment, he shortened their life spans from hundreds of Earth cycles to just slightly over 100 Earth cycles.<br/><br/>However, during this shortened timeframe their creativity and advancement in that regard are second to none in the universe, even if they didn't advance as far and as soon as Klepto would have wished. He knew that it was because of their shortened lifespans. At the same time, he also admired these beings because of these same limitations their creativity spiked. Their variety and their ability to overcome historical differences are what made them highly resilient and powerful over time, even without being given magic or a known god to overlook their planet. They evolved beyond their Neanderthal mental limitations to become the human race he began to admire even as a God."<br/><br/>They have made all their accomplishments with only what was given to them through evolution and what they call science. I made them all bleed the same color and their genetic makeup is similar. Their only major flaw is when they would let their leadership convince them throughout their short history that their petty differences were worth killing and destroying over. They could have been significantly even more advanced had not let their inferior thoughts towards each other get in the way of growth worldwide. Their love for constant war is also an issue. That alone is very disheartening. Even then, when their civilization restarted and lead to their dark ages they did not regress but, found a new way to advance by harnessing the power of their planet and nature. Many times throughout the humans minuscule history by universal standards, I usually went to this planet and took the form an Earthling to interact with them inside of their human skin.<br/><br/>I tend to pick out a few that I take particular interest in and give them some form of assistance in their lives. Some become emperors or kings, some become philosophers and world renowned poets. Some take a darker path to become tyrants and dictators and use my gifts to control or harm the masses. One thing is for certain they are always completely different than the last. Not even my children would assist these Earthlings and had left any of their lesser gods the demigods to assist this race. This is actually the only planet they have failed to do so with which I had initially thought was strange. That was strange, but I allow them free reign in the universe.<br/><br/>My children hate this extra attention that I give to the Earthlings besides my precious Serenity of Lifeforce she just never had taken any interest at all but, they will get over it...hopefully in a few hundred thousand millennia or so. Much to the anger of my other children Argos of battle and Vectros of the void's border who hate that I give any time to any lesser beings that are not Gods. In their closed-minded eyes, it is a waste of time." Klepto continued to ponder. Kleptos thoughts pondered on his children the lesser gods.<br/><br/>"My children will be even more upset at this extra attention that I'll give the earthlings but, who cares? I created them also and if I wanted I could unmake them but, I could never do such a thing. My love for my children is infinite. That is not to say that I will not banish them to the void on the outside of the universe for overstepping their boundaries by destroying my creations by their own hands. They would have to use the influence of their races. To infinite darkness and nothingness. Purgatory or prison of the gods, as I like to call it." Thought Klepto. "Walking among the very creative earthlings is definitely awesome and assists with naming things. 'Awesome', another word I picked up from the Earthlings. and I've given these planets ample time to flourish but, now I think they need a little push. No, I'm not going to disturbed what's already in place for my little experiment though. Utter destruction is old and has been done many times. I'm going to create something new... the envy of the universe!!!" Klepto thought to himself excitedly.<br/><br/>With a wave of his hand, a brand new celestial body named Damascus was created. The planet was currently a barren rock with mild hills but was double the size of Klepto's favorite planet Earth. With another wave of the other hand from the great God, there were instantly vast oceans carved out of the land forming giant bodies of water, lakes and rivers broke off of these large bodies to connect to each other. Mountain ranges of various sizes with the tallest 3 individual mountains being 4,500 feet, 5,000 feet and 6,000 feet high on the Northern, eastern, and the western of the great mountain range. Forming around the northern portion of the planet forming in an oval shape inside of the ice cap. Inside of the ice cap was only mostly flat icy rock surface with a few hills scattered here and there, that mostly looked like a giant crater. The ice cap continued another 1,000 yards around the outside of the mountain ranges that then began to turn into vast jungles and vast grassy plains.<br/><br/>The jungles inter-mixed with the grassy plains that stretched south from the icy region and around the great bodies of water, lakes, and rivers until reaching they reached southern ocean which is the largest body of water that surrounds 1/4 of the bottom half of the entire planet until it reaches the desert region of the planet.<br/><br/>The desert region has very little rainfall, if any at all, with sand that will stretch as far as the eye can see. The dry air will make outsiders struggle to breathe initially and strong wings that will carry the sand on its back. It will have vast hills that, one from earth would believe would be considered closer to mountains with a few scattered large scaled oasis here and there in the shadows of these mountainous hills. This area will cover the last ¼ portion of the planet.<br/><br/>The planet was formed with a sun and 3 moons orbiting it. Red, blue, and black. The significance of these moons was that they provided the planet with harmless divine radiation light and also mana. These moons are significant because they are the only ones in all of the universe. The red moon strengthens the physical portions of the planet creating new materials found nowhere in the universe and strengthening already found and created materials, while the blue and black moon strengthens the mana flow in the planet's core and the spirit of life that will exist on the planet.<br/><br/>"With that completed, now it is time to create life!! Yet, what kind of life..hmmm. I've got it! I'll create a fantasy world similar to the world my human friend on Earth, Damien plays EverTale which technology and graphic design was life like and was the first of its kind. The game and reality is bearly indistinguishable. It's full of earth's mythical beasts and some that some human has come up with but, even then, it was genius and more fun than I've had in ages. This world full immersion virtual reality RPG and is ripe with magic and wonder!"<br/><br/>Damien is number one in the world in the Fantasy RPG and kingdom builder which is why I've taken particular notice in him. It is the first of its kind and Damien was the best on the planet. Of course, the Earthling Damien does not know his only friend in his short life is a God but, I choose to pick out a few sentient beings every now and then to bless with my presence simply because I have the most fun with earthlings!" Klepto thought to himself.<br/><br/>"Ohhh and I'll portal him here just like the web novels he told me about, once, while he and I were playing EverTale. I think reincarnation is terrible and killing him outright is just plain evil even for a God. He has a daughter that and I don't want her to see her father die because it will just crush her. She has grown on me after watching them both. So I'll just suddenly portal him here instead, I bet he'll LOVE IT! I have to make it so he doesn't hate me for it. For some reason I do care how he feels...guess I have spent too much time with the Earthlings through the millennia. Yet, it has only been 10,000 short earth years but, who knew they could influence THE God that way!! They are a very special race indeed!<br/><br/>"Anyways, on to finishing creating lifeforms." With both arms outstretched Klypto began channeling his divine powers with a bright glow. This took complete concentration even for the top God in the universe because it is still not easy forming life from nothingness. Life began to spring up all over the new planet. Male and female sentient beings, 3 to 4 ft. pointy-eared, pudgy bellied brownish-green goblins, Muscular 5 to over 6 ft lighter and dark green bodies muscular orcs, and 9 or more foot unintelligent yet very powerful greyish ogre, light and dark thin-framed, long-eared divinely beautiful Elven races born in the forest, 4 ft wide muscular bodied Dwarven races born inside of the mountain ranges along with giant races on top of the mountain ranges with yeti to the north and the larger 30 ft. Cyclops with horns and some with and two-eyed smaller 20 ft giants that with bulging eyebrows to the south in the desert region to the south. With humans that outnumbered them all 20 to 1 due to being weaker than the other races and would need more of each other to survive the creation, they were scattered in all parts of the planet. Massive humanoid Titans and Oviparous flying beast beasts of the air and ground, some with intelligence and some without, deer with short wings and enormous antlers, graceful unicorn, cunning manticore and griffin, some mermaid with half-human bodies but no hair due to life underwater, and all manner of a mythical beast in the air, ground, and sea that too numerous to list them all.<br/><br/>"Now with that completed! Let's accelerate evolution to 8,000 years to bring this place to the medieval time frame similar to Earth and viola! Just like the game!! I love it."</p>
