Arc I - New Beginnings

[Chapter 1: The Chosen One!?]

My eyes feeling heavy and tired I blink constantly to fight the drowsiness I look over to see my phone with my lock screen shown. On my lap sat my laptop with an unfinished sketch. I felt my body exhaust itself falling to the bed I was laying upon.

Closing my eyes the noise of constant beeping dies in the background as I lose all form of senses while the emergency alarm alerts the personal at the hospital seeing the flickering lights I soon move into a deep refreshing sleep.

...

Silence... no sound was heard, no background buzz, no speaking, no music, just nothing...

As I rest in this vast warm space a mechanical sound spoke in my mind.

"Welcome Chosen Few! You have been carefully selected out of the billions of humans on Earth to become a God capable of anything."

"Your job is quite simple, guide the humans below to survive our tests and if you succeed you will become the only God of this Universe. To those who fail your existence will cease to be."

"And why have you been chosen... because you are Unique! Now onto the last message please read over the information and be sure to ask questions to your own system, good luck!"

Unable to process what was being said I hear the voice fade away after making such an announcement. Before I could collect myself and my thoughts another thing speaks in my mind.

"Hello user, I am the System and here to help guide you on the use of your powers." A blue window appeared before my face.

"Wait, let me collect my thoughts!... I remember dying in the hospital bed before being consciously awake in this vast void, now a voice speaks about how I am chosen to be a God? And then you are here to guide me on how to be a God?!" As the now floating orb I speak out to the system.

"That is correct."

"Why would I play God I see no reason to do this."

"We can make your wish come true... and besides you have been chosen therefore denying to play means your existence will cease to be."

"... my wish?... you can make it come true?" Unable to respond I ask back with the hopes of confirmation.

"That is... if you win otherwise it will not happen."

"Then I will win! Who will stop me and my way to my wish!"

"Then it is settled you have agreed to become a participant in the Multiverse RTS for new coming God's Battle. I have already explored your memories to choose a suitable visual menu to help you."

(Ask me anything!)

"How do I gain followers?"

"You convert the humans below to believe in your existence they will naturally become a follower when they believe in you, but before that you must complete the two above objectives."

So I have to name myself and my power then I will just use my name that I have always used selecting the name location I type in Ray followed with the confirm button.

{Objective Complete [x] - Name Yourself} A satisfying ding accompanied this completion of this objective.

And for my power I will just call it Energy after all that already defines it perfectly.

{Objective Complete [x] - Name Your Power}

Looking at my status page I see it has already updated.

Now to gain followers?

"What does this mean how do I gain followers?"

"What counts as followers are living beings that acknowledge your existence."

I see... "Can I ask how others are doing this?"

"... I cannot say exactly who but I can tell you the past users and how they approached this. There are those who sent down a divine avatar to directly act upon the world, some have introduced a so called 'Will of God', others have sent down envoys to spread the word, and a large majority showed great power to influence the humans."

"I won't do that I don't like interacting with people in-person its awkward and um well I don't like it. Playing God I do not want to directly influence and affect the world as if I own it. And sending down envoys just sound like a way for corruption to happen. I think it's best to have as little interaction just to give the tools and they will naturally find a way to survive."

"But now the problem is how to include all humans after all I assume I don't have the power to do that right with only 100 energy what can that do?"

"That is correct with only 100 energy you can at most influence 100 humans each point influences 100 people."

"That is a problem I thought maybe by saying how I was going to include all people you would magically give me an achievement and then I would become the best thinker right?"

"That would defeat the purpose you have been given a limited resource it is up to you how you use this limited resource to change the world. As in life it starts with one step."

Okay I am ready let's do this! Raising my non-existent hand to the sky above.
