After a long peaceful sleep, I opened my eyes to a beautiful bedroom. “What beautiful scenery, what a sight to see, it wasn't a dream after all. This is now my new life, I still cannot believe it. Enough about flattering; now is the time to see what Ashanti has created.”

I opened the gold large door that leads outside to the dimension where I left Ashanti behind. Surprisingly the door now leads to the beautiful throne room. Is this a palace? This building is huge and beautiful. It is like a temple, no! It is like a castle, well, I do not know what this building is, but later I learned that it was a palace. Before me, it is a long red carpet with gold decorations that leads on a long path to a stairway that consists of 28 steps. On top of the 28th step, it is a huge shiny throne decorated with diamonds and gold, and the one who is on the throne is Ashanti. The building has a high ceiling with beautiful decorations and large gold candle holder with many sockets for candles hanging from the ceiling. The light rays that was emitting into the room from the top, made the room to look so heavenly and majestic. While I was amazed by the beauty of the throne room, I could see Ashanti standing up from the throne and descending the stairs to come towards me. I see the other five figures in the shape of humans besides her. On her left stands two people, and on her right, I see three people; well, I guess they are people because they have humanoid features.

I spoke to Ashanti. “I am back from my slumber, and I see you have companions now, or should I rather say, servants?”

“Who dares talk to Lady Ashanti in such a casual manner? Are you looking to die young man?” asked an old-looking man with a long white beard and blue-radiating eyes standing at the left side of Ashanti.

A beautiful and tall lady with pointy ears like an elf on the right side of Ashanti had a frowned expression, “Who is this brat? Is he one of the lowly angels? Disrespecting a Goddess like this is punishable by death! My Lady! If you allow me the honour, I will kill this brat myself!”

The five began to argue amongst themselves to have the honour to kill me for addressing their Goddess Ashanti in such a casual manner. While they were busy arguing, Ashanti walked towards me. She descended from the throne with a smile, and she knelt before me, “Welcome back, my Lord, it is good to see you again.”

The five were shocked to see their Goddess kneeling in front of a boy, who wears a school uniform. The short and beautiful fat woman who looks like a dwarf on the right side of Ashanti looked confused, “My Lady is kneeling? Maybe this person is important.” “Who can be important than our Goddess; She is the Goddess of all things! The highest being in existence!” spoke the old man with the white beard and blue-radiating eyes standing on the left side of Ashanti.

Ashanti closed her eyes, shook her head, and sighed, “Forgive them for their ignorance, my Lord,” She then looked at the five, “Stop your whining! Cannot you see? This person is Lord Khash himself! The High God who was resting in the forbidden room for one thousand years.”

The five quickly knelt before me, “Forgive us, Lord, we take back what we said. Servants are ignorant and foolish to insult the Lord, we will accept any punishment that you see fit, Lord,” exclaimed the dwarf-looking woman.

The Tall Lady with pointy ears looked terrified and she stuttered, “L—Lord, If yo—you decides to kill us, Lord, we—we accept it gracefully.”

The tall man-like creature, with green skin and big muscles on the right side of Ashanti, laughed, “Khuhahahahahaha, My Lord, it is nice to meet a High God. I have never dreamt of such a delightful day. Please forgive us for being rude. Hmm” and he bowed his head to acknowledge me.

“When my Lady first told me that there is a higher God, I thought she was talking about the system in place. I never thought they could be another person above the Goddess. I apologize, Lord, this servant of Lady Ashanti is ignorant about this,” explained the old man with the long white beard and blue-radiating eyes at the left side of Ashanti.

I heard an evil laugh coming from one of them, “Khuhuhehihi, Oh my Lord, you do exist? For a thousand years of my existence, it is the first time I meet the High God. It is my pleasure to meet the High God,” spoke a young-looking lady with light pale skin and long gold hair at the left side of Ashanti.

“Wait a minute! Before we can talk about forgiveness and all that, what do you mean by saying that I slept for a thousand years? The cute young girl also mentioned that she lived for a thousand years, Ashanti what is the meaning of this?”

“Khuhuhehihi, did you hear guys? The High God said I am cute,” spoke the young-looking girl with light pale skin and long golden hair on the left side of Ashanti.

“My Lord, you have rested for a thousand years. I have been worried about you all this time, but Lord, you commanded me never to wake you up. Your chambers became the forbidden room for all in Heaven. My Lord, you have slept for a thousand years, and I suspect that this is how long a God sleeps,” explained Ashanti while still on her knees.

“How can my servant have this kind of knowledge about sleeping as a God while I do not?” When the others heard that I called Ashanti a servant of mine, they became shocked, “Huh? Servant? How?”.

Ashanti did not say that she had knowledge but that question was just irritation thought that came out of my mouth by mistake. Ashanti replied. “I do not necessarily have any kind of knowledge about sleeping as a God, but by calculating and analysing this situation, it has answered my suspicion about sleeping as a God. After all, I am a Goddess of wisdom, my Lord. You have no reason to doubt my wits.”

I asked, “So, in other words, you do not sleep at all?”

Ashanti explained, “In the first week of my existence, I felt tired and sleepy after several attempts at creating the world, but weeks after that, the fatigue went away. It has been thousand years, and I have never felt sleepy again. I never slept, because it was important for me to create and maintain all things for you, my Lord.”

“Wow! Did you hear that, guys? The High God created the Goddess,” spoke the young girl with light pale skin and long gold hair at the left side of Ashanti.

“Your mind is slow, girlie. It is obvious that the High God is the creator of Lady Ashanti, as Lady Ashanti is also the creator of all of us,” exclaimed the dwarf-looking woman.

I looked at Ashanti and I smiled, “Noted, Lady Ashanti, sleep is not necessary for a God after all.”

When I looked at the five, I saw regrets in their eyes. If I apologize maybe they will feel better, “I forgive all of you, my servants. I am Lord Khash the High God! Whatever that means?”

The five were relieved to hear me apologize. I could see their stiff shoulders relaxing after what I just said.

Ashanti exclaimed. “My Lord, it is the first time you called me a Lady. Thanks for your kindness, my creator,” She then explained, “Let me explain why you are the High God. I created a levelling system where everyone in the Heavens and the world can gain experience and obtain a higher strength and titles; this means that a human can level up and rise in power and title to become a God. There are nine levels of power in this world. Ranging from lower to higher tier, we have Innate tier, Sapless tier, Crude tier, Riper tier, Substantial tier, Heavenly tier, Angelic tier, Sub-God tier, God tier, and last we have High God. Each tier is divided into three stages, the first stage, middle stage, and final stage. When you fulfil the final stage of the tier you're currently in, you then progress to a higher tier. So, the High God is the highest and the last level, but I excluded it from the levelling system; this means that anybody without a level cap can obtain levels to God tier, but nobody can level up to a High God title. God tier title is the last obtainable level, but the High God title is unreachable even by me. Even though all the Gods are immortal, they can still be killed by stronger opponents, but the high God can never die. You are the true definition of immortality, the highest being in existence.”

I was impressed by this ranking system, so I asked, “So how many people or creatures are in the God tier or other higher tiers?”

Ashanti explained, “I am the only Goddess at the moment, and I am expecting another to reach this level soon. Now we have five Sub-Gods, well, they were supposed to be six of them, but unfortunately, one is locked in my dungeon. In these thousand years, only one human obtained the power of Sub-God tier, this man with a long and white beard his name is Kanisa, the Sub-God of light, peace, love, and righteousness. He is the first and only human to reach the level of Sub-God 300 years ago; the other five Sub-Gods, including the one in the dungeon, were initially created by me as Sub-Gods. Kanisa was born at the level of Heavenly tier first-stage, He was born a demi-God by a human mother and a God, and it is unfair to compare him with all the other creatures and the humans born at the Innate tier.

Kanisa was born at the Heavenly tier level, and he surpassed the Angelic tier within ten years, at the age of 76. He elevated to the Sub-God tier first stage, and I invited him to live with the other Sub-Gods here 300 years ago. Kanisa is now at the middle stage of Sub-God tier, and he earned himself a place amongst the strongest supreme beings in the entire universe.”

“Wait! Why is the other Sub-God locked up in the dungeon?”

“That scumbag slept with a human 377 years ago, Lady Ashanti was furious, and she locked him up. I was afraid for his life, I thought Lady Ashanti would execute him right away, but she had mercy on him; she is the Goddess of mercy after all,” explained the tall woman with pointy ears like an elf on the right side of Ashanti.

After when the pointy ear lady explained, I got the picture of what happened, “So your servant at Sub-God tier slept with a human, and Kanisa was the result of their fornication? I was wondering why Kanisa was born a demi-God at Heavenly tier. I was waiting for an explanation, but I can connect the dots. I see it now. Everything you just said about Kanisa makes sense. So what is the name of a Sub-God who slept with a human?”

Ashanti replied, “His name is Kanisada, the Sub-God of righteousness. I passed his title as the Sub-God of righteousness to his son Kanisa. It saddens me that a righteous Sub-God as Kanisada could commit such an abomination.”

I genuinely asked, “Did he use his Godly powers to seduce the woman, or were they in love?”

“My mother and my father were in love. The Goddess told the five that it was prohibited for those in heaven to have relationships or sleep with humans and other creatures down on the planet, but in heavens, the five have permission to love whomever they want, but my father decided to love someone on the planet regardless of the rules,” explained Kanisa, who is the old man with the long white beard and blue-radiating eyes at the left side of Ashanti.

“I see, now all of you stand on your feet. Lady Ashanti, can you introduce these five Sub-Gods to me?”

“Of course, my Lord” she looked at her right side. From the right stands a tall man with green skin, red-short hair, long canines, and big muscles wearing brown leather armour and having a giant axe on his back. “This Sub-God is named Shimane, the Sub-God of war, destruction, chaos, and murder.”

Next to Shimane, on the right side of Ashanti, stands a short, chubby, cute, short black hair and light skin lady who is a dwarf wearing a white robe and holding a staff in her left hand. Ashanti looked towards her, “This Sub-Goddess is named Nora, the Sub-Goddess of fortune, harvest, strategy, and wisdom.”

Next to Nora, on the right side of Ashanti, stand a tall elf, beautiful, with long legs, sexy curves, long black hair, and dark brown skin, wearing a light brown leather sleeve and a short leather skirt. She is wearing enchanted ornaments with crystals on her hands, forehead, and neck. Ashanti looked towards her, “This Sub-Goddess is named Nonko, the Sub-Goddess of decadence, lust, fertility, and festivals.”

At the left side of Ashanti stands a man with a long white beard, having blue-radiating eyes and white hair. He has a cocoa skin tone with wrinkles on his forehead. He is wearing a white robe and holding a staff that emits a blue fire on its top. Ashanti looked towards him, “This Sub-God is named Kanisa, the Sub-God of light, peace, love, and righteousness.”

Next to Kanisa at the left side of Ashanti stands a cute and petite young lady with light pale skin, a skinny body, a black dress with pink flowers, and a headband with emerald gemstone on her long gold hair. Ashanti looked towards her, “This Sub-Goddess is named Mika, the Sub-Goddess of darkness, greed, and secrecy.” “I am pleased to meet you all my subordinates! Now, it is time I see the new planet with my eyes. Where is the planet? I need to see the fine work with the project that I have given you,” I approached Ashanti, and I placed my left hand on her left shoulder.

She was startled by my touch, and she blushed while looking down, “Of course, my Lord, follow me.”

She turned around towards what looks like a small round pool of water at the corner of the building.

I followed her to the pool, and the five also followed, “look at the water,” She said.

At first, I just saw clean water and nothing else, but in an instant, the water became more transparent. Finally, I could see a giant blue ball far away beneath us, “Ooh! This brings back memories; this is like planet earth, a better version of it.”

Ashanti was puzzled by my statement, “What is planet earth, my Lord? I only designed this planet from the way you have envisaged it; you gave me this ability.”

“Forget what I just said. I am very pleased with your outstanding work, this planet is amazing!”

“Well, I am also pleased that you are pleased, Lord Khash. That makes me happy to see you pleased, Lord.”

I looked at her and asked, “What is the name of this planet?” She replied with confidence in her voice, “Midavania. The planet of the Gods! This planet has four continents and they are all equally great,” she replied.

“Wonderful, a great planet such as this deserves a great name. Now, how many people are on this planet?”

With a surprised expression on her face, she explained, “People? I believe you mean the bipedal and intelligent creatures with human-like features; we have two hundred and eighty-six million humans, sixty million elves, seventeen million beast-men, an unknown number of mixed races, and an undetectable number of other mythical and mysterious creatures living on Midavania. If you are looking for the details of everything on the planet, I can create an artefact that can display the entire data for you.”

“No, thank you, that will spoil the fun because I am planning to go down and see everything by myself.”

She was shocked by what I just said, “But my Lord! Are you going to descend from Heaven and avail yourself in the presence of mortals? You are the High God, the highest existence in the universe; this is beneath you, Lord Khash. We Gods send angels down there to do our biddings; to go down there is even beneath the Sub-Gods.”

“I am going down in disguise. No one will ever know that I am a High God, and I do not mind being around mortals. I am not just going to the planet aimlessly; I have a personal mission and a goal to achieve. Do you object, my Lady?”

Ashanti bowed before me and replied with a loud voice, “No! My Lord, I would not dare! You are the High God, and I will not dare to question your decisions or your intentions! Whatever you do or say is absolute and righteous, my Lord.”

“I understand your concerns; worrying about a God being in the presence of mortals is reasonable. Like as you said earlier. I am invulnerable. So do not worry about my safety. I will also not involve myself in human squabbles and battles. Not even one person will notice that a God is among mortals. I will not disrupt the balance in the world unless it is necessary for me to do so, be at ease, my Lady. Now stand on your feet.”

She stood up and replied with a calm voice, “It was foolish of me to tell you not to descend to the planet Midavania.”

A magic circle appeared in her hand and an item spawned out of nowhere in her hand, “My Lord, I created this artefact for you. Please take it!”

“What is this?”

“The infernal and heavenly tome, it is a divine book containing all holy and unholy magic spells, techniques, and skills existing in Heaven and Midavania. Open the book and all this knowledge and power will transfer into your body; you will instantly learn all the spells, techniques, and skills in the system from the innate tier to God tier. I created this artefact and I have been keeping it for you for a long time; I hope it pleases my Lord.” “You never cease to amaze me, Lady Ashanti.”

Immediately I opened the tome, and the pages were glowing in gold radiant light. The words were leaving the pages flying straight onto my forehead, “Ooh! I can feel its power and all this knowledge infiltrating into my brain. I love this.”

The power of the tome carried my body slightly higher above the floor; I was up in the air. I stretched my hands to the side as if I was accepting its power, and the power kept on filling my mind and body with knowledge of the spells, techniques, and skills. The process did not take long, and my body slowly descended to the ground until my feet touches the floor. “Outstanding work Lady Ashanti, this quality of work deserves a reward.”

“My Lord, I am glad you are pleased, and that is good enough for me. Meeting your expectations makes me happy. There is nothing more that can make me happier than that.”

“Well, if you say so,” I proclaimed, “now it is time I move to Midavania.”

Lady Ashanti asked, “My Lord, I have a question. When you're in

Midavania, and someone attempts to attack you, what will be your reaction to this situation?”

“Fight back, I guess—”

“But Lord Khash,” She interrupted my answer, “That task is below you. You cannot fight mortals.”

“What do you suggest then?”

She explained, “Maybe go down with one of the Sub-Gods as your bodyguard. By doing this, you will not have to do such menial works yourself. I can also rest easy knowing that you are safe.”

“You worry too much. I am invulnerable and immortal, and can anything down there threaten my life?”

She replied, “No! Lord, but knowing that you're protected, I will be able to rest easy.”

“Well, if that is what you need then, but the way I see it, the Sub-Gods are too strong. It will not be fun for me to move around with the other Gods on my side. What about those two guarding the entrance to the throne room? Who are they?”

Ashanti replied, “These two are the Arch Angels. They are one of the ten Arch Angels that lead the army of Angels in Heaven. Each Arch Angel leads an army of hundred Angels. So in total, we have one thousand and ten Angels. The Arch Angel on the right wearing a white robe and holding a bow, his name is Phino; he is on the Final stage of the Angelic tier, and if he breakthrough he will become a Sub-God, but Phino was unable to breakthrough for the past eight hundred years, but he is the strongest of all the Angels at the moment. The Arch Angel on the left of the entrance wearing a black robe his name is Zuka; he is on the middle stage of Angelic tier, he is the fourth-strongest Angel in the Angelic tier.” “I see, but I was expecting Angels to have wings. These two have no wings.”

“On a battle form or flight mode, the Angels summon their wings; their wings are part of their battle suit transformation. Even us, the Gods can summon wings, the Angels are just minor images of Gods, after all, most of the powers they have, we have. “Lady Ashanti Explained.

“I will go down there with Zuka as my bodyguard. Now, it is time I depart.”

Lady Ashanti and the five bowed down before me as I leave and enter the pool, which is the portal to leave Heaven and enter the atmosphere of Midavania. Zuka followed me as I embark on the journey to Midavania for the first time.
