《I Am The World》Chapter 3: The World I Envisioned... Has Begun!
Advertisement
As I thought about starting the world, the world began spinning at a high pace.
I felt something sucking me into the world, and knowing that since I was the world, I had to be inside, I followed it. I had to undergo training to be the World Spirit, that is, the Spirit, or Consciousness of the World, so I couldn't speed up the time.
Let me tell you, no matter what you do, studying is one thing that never gets boring - or interesting, for that matter. Learning new things is definitely fun, but doing the same thing over and over? Definitely not.
I had to spend over a billion years under the jurisdiction of the system to finally master separating my consciousness in order to watch over the world. Then, I had to spend a few hundred millenia to get incarnating right. A few billion years more to get a hang of using all the energies I had gotten, and perfectly separating my thoughts such that I could become multiple people, like a network with a central server.
While listening to my Great Escapades Of Studying might not be fun, listening to what was happening on the world might be more fun. After about 2 billion years, the different energies in the world finally calmed down, no longer as volatile. There were flows between them, much like the winds, except consisting of different energies.
The world wasn't cool enough yet, but still, 500,000 years later, the first signs of life emerged.
And it wasn't a race which I had inducted into the world.
A new race has emerged.
I looked around the world, looking for said race. A billion years of solitude with nothing but a crass system made surviving mentally quite a difficult task.
A few hours of searching later, I finally found them.

Spirit (Element) Level 0
Stats:
Physique 0 Mana 4~7 Strength 0 Mana Accumulation 2~6 Agility 13~18 Mana Regeneration 4~8 Vitality 0 Mana Affinity 6~10 Sense 0 Mana Immunity 4~5
Damn. Those were quite the stats. So those are the elemental spirits of this world, huh?
I looked on as they flitted near each other and played among themselves. They had no form of reproduction, since they had no corporeal bodies. All they had was their innate agility and powerful Mana stats. It belonged to that of a beginner, after all.
In this world, the only way to get stronger was to go to the dungeon. Other than that, you could only rely on treasures and magic training, but nothing is better than going to a dungeon. Dungeon monsters dropped materials, so there was also a method for making money right there.
The whole world was designed around the dungeons.
Even treasures didn't grow outside the dungeon with ease. Only minerals did, and not in as high quantities as inside a dungeon. After all, I made it such that dungeons occupied all the best spots, and dungeons would have outbreaks if not cleaned regularly.
The dungeons hadn't yet begun rising. They would begin in a few hundred million years, though - around the same time humans would be born.
I expected it to take much longer for the world to cool down, considering the multiple forms of energy, but it turned out that due to there being so many different energies, the world cooled down faster as the energies transferred all of their instability to one another instead of trying to get stable themselves. And these instabilities got stabilized by other forms of energy who need the same amount of instability as the energy had.
Make sense? Only a bit did for me. All you needed to know that instead of the 3.8 billion years that Earth was expected to have taken to cool down, my planet - which I named Carvoa, which has no meaning except to sound cool - had cooled in just 3.2 billion years. The over-plane, or Heaven, had already spawned Gods for quite a long time, and Dungeons had just begun appearing all over the lower world.

The Gods had all received their messages. Not to mention, with the recent influx of points, I issued an order that the first human to cross every 50 floors could ask me anything, and I shall try and listen to their requests. However, I might not fulfil certain requests, so they must be careful about what they request.
As for the Gods... I announced to them that the only way to grow stronger was through the dungeon. The Gods themselves could enter the dungeon, but using Divine Powers in the Dungeon was definitely a no-go which would get them punished by losing double their Divine Energy, not to mention the Dungeon would then do its level best to kill them, as the Dungeon hates Gods. Of course, they could use a limited amount in the Lower Realm outside the Dungeon.
They would be brought back to Heaven if they got killed, with the penalty of 2,000-year gap before they could descend again. But, if they entered the Dungeon and died inside, they would truly die.
The gestation period of Gods was about 10,000 years, so if too many Gods died, there was a chance that the race would go extinct. Although, there was a chance that Mortals and Demigods could also ascend to Godhood by getting 20 Achievements and 5 Titles. Of course, getting either of them was no easy feat.
Also, Gods born in the Lower World would only be Demigods, so the gestation period is only a month extra. I made all races have equal gestation periods for a reason - to make them feel equal.
Of course, no Gods descended for quite a while. But after about 30,000 years of simply talking to each other in Heaven, they got extremely bored. Out of the 100 or so gods, 60 decided to descend first. They proceeded to establish Orders, groups of their followers, and gave them powers to descend into the Dungeon.
And by that time, the various races had already reached the 10th floor, and they had to face the boss there. Yet, they couldn't defeat it since they had lost a powerful force the first time they had attacked, underestimating the boss.
So, now with the help of Gods, they could grow stronger faster, and could actually see their strengths and weaknesses, along with their skills.
Two Orders quickly rose to prominence - The Luscia Order and the Verham order. Verham was a master blacksmith, the God of Weapon Smithing; Luscia was the Goddess of Charm. They used their domains to grow their Orders stronger at a faster rate. in the end, the Luscia Order, with their overwhelming numbers, finally defeated the Boss.

Across the Realms [Dropped]
Disclaimer: I'll leave this on here for anyone to read. The last time I uploaded a chapter was nearly a year ago, and to all the readers who still kept their trust in me after I came back from my umpteenth hiatus, I am sorry. I will not carry on writing this; I started off without the correct foundations of a novel, nor commitment to fully finish it and I do not want to lie to you all once again. Maybe one day, I may decide to re-write the novel, with a new basis or at least a comprehensive starting point with many of the narrative errors cleared up; but, till then, this is goodbye. And, once again, thank you for the motivation you gave me. Even now, I see many emails come through with people commenting. Goodbye. A child blessed by the Astral. An unprecedented destiny. Watch his path, as he marches up the stairway of Heaven. A March of a Sovereign. [Adventure, Wuxia, Martial Arts, Fantasy] This is a Qihuan novel; it has eastern and western fantasy elements. More often than not in Xianxia or Xuanhuan there is a severe lack of character development, being a western writer I'm changing that. My characters, from my totally unbiased view, feel fleshed out and actually have emotions. This is my first attempt at a novel, I'm writing as a means to better convey my thoughts. I will, hopefully, steadily improve chapter-by-chapter. I'm very open to feedback and constructive criticism. As one can see this is a cultivation novel, so you know how this goes. I've decided to jump-start the whole rags-to-riches scenario. He is strong from the start and is given the utility to do so. *The cover art is not my own, all rights reserved to the owner. I will take it down if necessary. *The style of the recent chapters is comparatively different than Chapter 1.

The cover picture doesn't belong to me either. Note: This story will be mainly in the Slashdog part which is part of the DxD universe but set 4 four years prior to the event of DxD. Also, DxD is a light novel with 25 volumes + side volumes and a sequel with already 3 volumes called Shin Highschool DxD. Only the first ten volumes and some side stories have been adapted in Anime. As such many terms and characters, I use may be unknown. But don't worry I will do my best so that everyone can follow. NOTE 2: I AM currently writing another fanfic called THE TRIALS: PATH TOWARD GODHOOD. Try it. The mc is different in personality but I hope you'll like it nonetheless.

The Due
Every sailor knows the tale of Davy Jones' Locker. That place drowned sailors are sent to, ever resting on sea's bed. Some tales recount of a ghostly ship, the Flying Dutchman. Many a story has spawned from these two tales. Countless retellings mixing in their own fictions. But all stories spawn with a kernel of truth to them, and the story of Davy Jones is no exception. Those who've met the legendary seaman and his ghostly ship might call him a ferryman, escorting the drowned to their respective afterlives. Others might call him a devil, meting punishment on those deserving. The true story is always slightly different. Davy Jones is a ferryman, but not one for the afterlife, as Walter finds out. No, Davy Jones manages those who die at sea while in debt, and Walter died with a lot of debt. Unable to pay, Davy puts Walter to work. The specter has just the job for the dead college graduate. Another god, Sod, needs an afterlife for his new world. Davy tasks Walter with the job. Suddenly, Walter finds himself having to run a fledgling underworld with little instruction from Sod. To top it off, the denizens of Sod's world have their own ambitions to achieve godhood, and they won't take kindly to Sod's newest employee shaking up the status quo. [Traumatizing Content tag is up just to let everyone know this will be a story that deals with different themes of death. Some of them won't be nice and so better to be safe than sorry.]
