I.. Am God?

The humans of the north rode downward and arrived on the steppes where the living conditions are a bit better than the northern mountains.

They set up houses made of stones by creating a square wall and covering the top with a larger flat stone.

They started their first civilization and created "weapons" or should be described as clubs and fought beasts with them.

They also discovered "new" beasts that aren't much hostile; Horses.

Seeing how fast they ran, they tried to capture some and succeeded on their 15th try by entangling it with weeds.

After failure after failure, they succeeded in taming the beast and rode on it.

Seeing that, Matthias' sweat trickled. He knew that what was happening before his eyes could be the start of something that could make the kingdoms of Ancient Earth grimace and feel fear.

The western human colony that developed much faster than the other two started to sail across the sea to catch more fish and as some of them discovered schools of fishes, they invented nets to catch more.

Their houses evolved from leaf and stick huts to wooden houses as they used their old fishing spears as a reference to cut into things with sharp things.

They started making axes from stone and branches and chopped wood with them.

They started to make boats to sail and sharp stones to capture and kill land beasts.

A wandering human also stumbled upon the Great Forest upon years of traveling and discovered elves. The man introduced their society to them – a society that relies on seafaring – and how they live.

The elves sent envoys with the man while riding the deers that the Tree of Life gave birth to and rode towards the west, establishing diplomatic relations with the western humans, making them develop rapidly once more.

While watching the fast development happening before him with awe, Shyra interrupted him.

"As the world's population reached one million, you have earned the title "Creator" and have unlocked the Divinity. You have unlocked a more broad authority upon your creation. You could also appear to them as whatever you want for them to see you."

"Divinity?!" Matthias quickly asked Shyra for instructions. He clicked the Divinity section on the panel in front of him.

"Activate Divinity?" A message notification appeared in front of him.

"Yes!"

After saying so, a bright light appeared in the panel and entered Matthias' body.

Looking at himself if anything bad happened, he was relieved to discover that he was fine and feeling great!

Inside him, a small ball of light stayed in his Spiritual Sea which he discovered from Shyra.

He also discovered that the light gives him strength that surpasses any being that is currently in his world.

"Shyra, could you check how dense the magical energy is in my world?" He turned to face her and asked.

"Because your world has just been recently created and there are spirit animals dying, resulting in additional energy, the world's current spirit energy density is as dense as a normal Immortal World. It should've been more dense if not for the Tree of Life devouring energy around it." Shyra answered.

He nodded. Matthias asked once again, "How much is my CP?"

"After making changes in this world and creating the humans, your CP was reduced from 8 million to 4 million."

"Then, how much is a Custom Being?" He asked.

Shyra thought for a moment and answered, "It depends. The price ranges from 700,000 CPs to 100,000,000 EPs."

Matthias grimaced when he heard the price. For a millennia of the world's existence, the Creation System amassed only 9.5 million CPs, not even a tenth of the 100 million mark.

He wanted to create a god beside him to manage the world below. To do so, he estimates that he needed at least 60-100 million just to do so.

Looking at his CPs, Matthias smiled wryly. How long will it take for that to happen?

Sensing his thoughts, Shyra patted his back, "Don't worry. You will have that amount once the world you created is already stable and the beings inside it are powerful."

"You could acquire CPs in various ways such as your creation's death, their death returns the energy they got to you and it varies on their strength. A normal being's death gives you 0.01 CP, while a high class being gives you at least 100 EPs."

"Your Divinity could also give you CPs. By strengthening the faith of the people to you, you could amass Faith Points (FPs) and use them as alternatives to CPs."

Hearing that, Matthias eased. He also planned his descent to his world as a Divinity to acquire Faith Points.

"I want to create a Custom Being!" Matthias announced. The blue panel in front of him enlarged and became a paint-like software.

After countless drawings and editing, Matthias finished the physical form. f𝙧𝒆𝚎𝑤e𝚋𝓷o𝘷𝗲l.c𝐨m

"Would you make it a normal beast, spirit beast, sentient being, or a higher being?" Shyra asked.

"I wouldn't want this magnificent being as a normal beast, and spirit beast seems a little lowly for it. So…"

"Higher being!" Matthias pridefully declared.

"For it to be a higher being, you need 10 million CPs," Shyra replied.

"Oof." Matthias drew a cold breath. "Just save the template first. Can you do that?"

"Sure." Immediately, Shyra manifested a panel similar to his and a drawing, similar to the one that he drew, appeared on her screen.

"Done." She nodded in affirmation.

"I do want to check on the half-sentients though. I know sentient beings are those who are just like humans when they think and are conscious, but what are half-sentients?" Matthias asked, with Shyra answering immediately.

"Half-sentients are beast-like creatures who could develop a civilization but still retains their beastly mind and instincts"

Matthias nodded, showing that he understood. He then clicked on the Half-sentients and there showed up tons of beings.

Goblins, hobgoblins, beastmen, high harpies, the list goes on and on.

But Matthias focused on one creature; Orcs.

On Earth, Orcs are creatures that symbolized chaos, destruction, carnage, and strength. They were the greatest of all warriors and the epitome of madness. They abide by the laws of the jungle where the strong will always eat the weak. 𝑓re𝘦𝔀𝗲𝘣𝘯𝘰νℯ𝒍.c𝗼ｍ

With that in mind, he extended the ocean farther to open up a new space. He headed towards the west. He wants to create a new continent.
