《Celestial Beings: Evolution》Stage 1 : New World I (Chapter 1)
Advertisement
The room was the purest form of white. Nothing could be seen except for whiteness. I didn't know where I was, until suddenly other people were manifesting around me, I didn't know where I was, or why I'm here - I only know that I am here. I didn't know what to think of this, my life in England seemed perfect. My family were pretty well off and had everything I needed, I didn't even need to get a job until the age of 22; saying that, it was only a part time job as a cashier. For an unknown reason to me, I'm here. I didn't die. I was sat at home, on my computer, playing video games.
Eloxus was in trance until he realised there were creatures, staring at everyone.
"15 minutes until the Evolution Game begins. Hopefully you experience the uptmost misery!". This harsh statement was followed up by a disgustingly high pitch screetch, which seemed to be a laugh judging by his facial expression - that smile could scare anyone, and would most likely give babies heartattacks.
As he looked up at the disgusting nightmare which seemed to be a Clown, however he wasn't just any Clown. He had a pitchblack outfit on, which seemed to be a tad tight on his chubby body. Although in contrast, he had a parade going on his face. He had a drawn on, oversized bright red lipstick on, with pink blush which was overemphasised on his face. Looking on his eyelids, it was a mess. It wasn't applied correctly, if anything, it looked like it was drawn on by a blind person. The colours ranged from Orange, Blue, Purple, Red and Dark Green.
I'm scared. I don't know what to do. As I looked around I saw a blonde little girl in a pink dress, hugging tightly on her brown teddy bear. Tears seemed to be rolling down her face, however there was no emotions. Nothing. If anything it creeped me out for some reason, is this little girl really adapting sooner than I am? I looked at the opposite side of the room to see a bald man who had a muscular figure who seemed to have a stern face. No reaction once again. I don't get it, why is nobody else freaked out? Am I just an idiot?

A woman stood up - she seemed completely out of ordinary. As she got off her chair which was ontop of a pedestal, she spoke in a soft voice.
"Hello Players. In 10 minutes, you wil be starting the Evolution Games. You have all been randomly chosen among the world known as 'Earth', from all backgrounds. Okay enough of the small talk, I don't care enough. Here is what you are required to know. You all will have The System, which gives you information on your species, class, and whether Celestials will be interested in you".
Celestials? What the hell? Are they Gods? I knew God was a scam, look at this. Setting up something like this. Disgusting.
"You will all be starting off as Lesser Beings, or commonly known as Newborns. You will be reborn, and you can restart your life, whether you want to be a completely different species is up to you, you're in control of this adventure."
Newborns - really? This sounds horrible. Although I don't dare say anything as these Celestials are obviously much stronger than I am, and I don't even think they're human. They were a range of sizes, small, large, or medium sized. Many had wings, and some didn't even resemble human.
"One last piece of information, which I think you should all listen to". For some reason she stared at me, I completely shifted my gaze. I do not want to make eye contact with her as I'm scared about the repercussions. She continued. "There will be a chance for people to become Instruments. These are people who have chosen to stick with a Celestial, if Celestials are interested enough, you will be given the opportunity to become their Instrument. Thats all, I'm not going to tell you about it any more, as it seems we're out of time. Goodluck in surviving this horrid world".

As I was teleported, my stomach could not hold it in and I puked. Everywhere. I didn't know where I was. All I saw was a disgustingly bright yellow sky, and for some reason I was stood on a red sand texture, and there were trees. Red trees growing from sand. What in the actual fuck?
The woman said there was a system, how do I see it? I thought of a Status like in the Fantasy games I would play at home, I tried to say Status. However I couldn't. I literally couldn't. Although it seemed that thinking of Status was good enough.
[Character]
[Party]
[Inventory]
[Instrument]
I was pretty underwhelmed with the results. It was pretty bland at first site, but I gave it a chance. I thought of the word 'Character'.
[Eluxo] Level Two
[Species] Lesser Being
[Class] None
[Instrument] No one is interested.
[Unspent Points] 0
[Agility] 3
[Endurance] 2
[Strength] 3
[Vitality] 2
[Wisdom] 5
[General Skills]
[Limitless Communication] Beginner - Level Zero
[Search] Beginner - Level One
[Species Skills] None
[Class Skills] None
I looked at The System in awe, it was pretty interesting. Wait what the fuck, why is my Strength only 3 stat points? I slumped over thinking how weak I was, until I realised the colour I was. Orange. Fuck sake. It would be my luck. Before we were transported, the Angel woman was pretty flustered and held everyone up for an extra minute as she forgot a very important piece of information: Our colours. I had rotten luck. She stated in her very soft voice that there were colours ranging from: Red, being complete dogshit, Orange, being under average, Green, having a bit of potential, Violet, way above average, and Magenta, who would excel in pretty much everything they focused on. She also seemed to mention White and Black, although it was very brief, she said something about White being Pure, and having Holy Power, whilst Black was the opposite, they were beings who cared about murder, and deception - although that does not mean they are suddenly better than Magenta, it just means they have traits which are very prominent, and [The System] will tell them their colour.
Why does this new world hate me? Fuck this, I'll just keel over and die.
I may be a bit dramatic - but It's fine. I'll put up with this stupid world for now, as I guess I have to live in it.
After Eloxus was being unnecesarilly dramatic, he looked back on [The System].
Wait a minute, party? Does that mean I can team up with others? I'll have to focus on that for the time being as it seems I'm a worthless orange.
Eloxus further inspected [The System].
Wait a second, why are [Instruments] crossed out? Does that mean I can't become an Instrument? Hello, Celestials - I want a refund.
As he looked again at his [Character], he saw two General Skills. [Search] and [Limitless Communication]. I'm assuming [Limitless Communication] Is Level Zero because I'm a Lesser Being? Honestly I have no clue. Anyways let's try [Search] on a Tree.
Wait how do I use skills?

This is the story of my favourite human, a man who managed to surpass my expectations until the day of his death. A man to whom I personally taught the deepest secrets of Creation. The story of my Disciple, born to a world within the Fayd. A man who was called many names. Godkiller, Guardian of the Gates of Death, My Left Hand, Destroyer, The End by his enemies. That Crazy Dude by his allies. I call him Sam-Sam, mainly to annoy him. But primarily, this is a story of a man doing his life right. With all my wisdom I can’t think of him living a better life than he did, given his circumstances. So gather round, for the story of my dear friend. Not a litrpg.
