Volume 1 Chapter 2: Creation

"We would be creating your [Artifact] next!" (Voice)

"Hmm? What's that?" (Nero)

"Think of it as a tool for a God. Don't worry if you fail though~ Not all Gods can make one" (Voice)

Looks like she's excited about it but at the same time expects me to fail…

System:Do you wish to create an [Artifact]?

Warning!

This will cost Stat Points

As a programmer aspiring to make games in the future… Don't look down on me!

Without hesitation, I immediately pressed "Yes" on the screen that appeared.

“Place both of your hands on the orb to create your Artifact” (Voice)

I did as instructed and placed both of my hands.

The orb feels kind hot though…

System:Potential Detected!

Do you wish to learn [God Class Magic: Creation]?

Warning!

Pressing "Yes" will reset your potential rate.

Do you still wish to proceed?

Creation magic? It doesn't seem bad too…

And why not? I don't think I can obtain another [God Class Ability] anyways…

System:You have successfully acquired [God Class Magic: Creation]!

System:Skill Name:CreationSkill Rank:Skill Level:Skill Type:SSS+1ActiveDescription:Shape the world as you see fit!

System:You have unlocked branch skill of [God Rank Magic: Creation]: [Customization]

Change the world to your own liking!

Change anything and everything to how you want them!

Can be independently use without activating [Creation]

Consumes % of Mana

No wonder it's called "God class"! I'm gonna have fun with this~

I proceeded to create my artifact with the help of a new cheat skill, Creation & Customization!

●●●●●

I spent hours on tinkering away on my artifact~

As usual, creation is somewhat similar to a game that I've played.

Creating something is quite simple~

I would only need to think about what exactly I want to create, as if shaping clay.

I could also save them as presets, thought there are already some of them saved.

I could instantly create anything that are saved as presets… I need to investigate further~

After that, I could customize it by adding some kind of special effects to it. Abilities, restrictions, augments, and plenty more! There were also some part that I could leave as "Generate automatically" such as descriptions.

I continued tinkering away~

It was really fun!

Finally feeling satisfied, I chose to finalize my work but…

It seems that I needed 400 stat points…

As I didn't want all my work to be in vain, I accepted it while feeling somewhat hesitant.

Maybe it was because of the functions that I've made that it costs too much…

System:Name:ZodiacType:BraceletQuality:Artifact (SSS+)Special:ChangeDurability:IndestructibleItem Description:A special artifact with the will of its own.

It grants the wearer its power as to help him/her power to achieve their wish.

Can call upon legendary tools, 12 forms changes depending on growth/connections.

There was once a tale about a Hero that uses 12 weapons, the hero save many world but became corrupt and ended up destroying everything instead. Will you end up with the same fate?Additional Effects:Abilities:Correction

Double Stats

Special SummoningAugments:Growth

Sentient

20% to All AffinityRequirements:Can only be held by it's creator.

The Artifact that I've created is similar to that of a swiss army knife as it can call upon different tools and weapons. Its appearance is that of a simple bracelet with 12 simple keys hanging out like key chains.

"…I might have played around it too much?" (Nero)

Though the description was randomly generated, how did I end up with something ominous?

But I ignored it as there was something else that's been bothering me for a while.

"Excuse me, can I ask something?" (Nero)

"Ah! Yes! Ask anything you want! Master!" (Voice)

Her usual demeanor seems to be completely gone as if I was talking to a completely different person.

She spoke as if to please someone with a higher rank… I'll also pretend that I didn't hear the past part…

"What do Gods do?" (Nero)

"Gods don't really have to do anything, but we they sometime receive some tasks depending on our current nature" (Voice)

She's speaking to me in a courteous manner now… I guess it has something to do with my artifact…

Maybe I could use this chance to obtain more information from her?

"Nature?" (Nero)

"Gods have specific nature with them, you can see it as your title in your status window" (Voice)

"How can I look at my status window?" (Nero)

"Please say the words 'Show Status'" (Voice)

Though I only asked simple questions, it was still quite helpful.

Curious about it, I decided to look at my status…

Hmm? Random Wanderer? What does that mean?

But before I could ask her about it, something else caught my attention…

"There seems to be a problem with my luck stat…" (Nero)

I'm quite sure that stats aren't suppose to display error numbers…

"Let me see, 10,000 points? It's quite normal for it to be like that since it's your main attribute" (Voice)

Wait what? For her it's 10,000 but for me is an error?

Maybe it differs from people to people… or there's something else…

I guess I'm going to ignore this for now… I need to ask more questions…

"Could we obtain more titles/nature?" (Nero)

"Only special Gods or high Gods are allowed" (Voice)

"And what about the task?" (Nero)

"Certain task will appear from time to time, and each task are linked to your nature" (Voice)

"Meaning… We have task because of our nature?" (Nero)

"Bluntly speaking, yes" (Voice)

"What'll happen if you were to fail your tasks?" (Nero)

"A terrible situation will arise based on your nature's" (Voice)

"Eh?" (Nero)

Maybe it was because it showed on my face that I was confused that the voice giggles and continued explaining.

"As an example; If a God with a nature of [God of Destruction] receives a task that requires him to obliterate something, it would be a simple task for that God as his nature specializes in destroying. But if he were to fail, a situation would somehow arise were that God would regret failing his given task. It's very hard to explain as it is a rare occurrence" (Voice)

Hmm? It doesn't make any sense… I give up~

So, I just to complete my task? Fair enough… I guess.

"By the way… is there things I should be wary about?" (Nero)

And by that, I'm asking if there are things that could easily kill a God.

It seems that the voice was able to interpret it.

"I'm sure you'll manage~ just be wary of God Slayers, God Eaters, other Gods, and Special Gods" (Voice)

Whaa~ Let's pray that I won't meet any of those!

But if I were to meet one, I'll just focus on running away~

Anyway, I need to ask her about my nature. I don't understand what Random Wanderer is…

"W-" (Nero)

"I almost forgot! I still need to give you another Artifact" (Voice)

A mysterious light enters my body…

It was quite a weird feeling…

"The Artifact, Dominion, is already in your Inventory. It's a free item given to newbies like you" (Voice)

It looks like I was given another starter item but what does it do?

And as if the voice knew what I was thinking, she continues explaining…

"The good thing about this Artifact is that it allows you to claim some land and set up your Temple. The Temple could serve as your safe haven or base of operation as it can various bonuses, though the bonuses you get are selected at random." (Voice)

Really!? That's awesome!

"The bad thing is that it announces your existence to the world you've arrived in… Some Gods are bothered about this as inhabitants of that world are annoying them" (Voice)

Ugh… I don't want random people annoying me nor I want them bowing down to me!!

I really just want to have fun and enjoy this if possible…

"Opps~ Looks like we're out of time!" (Voice)

"Wait! I still didn't asked abou-" (Nero)

Interrupting me, the voice giggled and spoke "Goodbye~ I'm sure we'll meet again"

And just like that, the scenery changes to that of a beautiful view.

I can see the sea~

I can see the forest~

I can see a giant mountain~

I can see the Kingdom underneath me~

"Ah~ Such a lovely sight… It would've been nice if I wasn't free falling 20,000 ft in the sky!" (Nero)

As a person with aerophobia, this is quite scary for me… but why am I so calm right now?

Anyway~ How can I escape my current predicament?

Releasing a heavy sigh, I distributed some skill points to all of my passive skills and a single active skill called Manipulation, maxing all of those skill which left me with 37 remaining skill points.

"Let's hope this work~" (Nero)

Fixing my body position, I slightly bent my body and aimed my foot towards the ground.

I spread both of my hands to the side and yelled "Zodiac! 7th Form!".

Accompanied by a bright flash, two single edged swords appears in both of my hands in a reverse grip.

Both of the swords have a simple design of a small katana and was colored with black and white each.

Knowledge about magic appears in my mind…

With the help of Manipulation, I focused on my Light and Dark affinities unto my sword and change their shape into wings. It was easily done because of the skills Artistic and Mental Mastery.

System:You have acquired the skill: Wing Blade!

System:Skill Name:Zodiac: Wing BladeSkill Rank:Skill Level:Skill Type:C1Active: 20 mpDescription:A special skill created with Zodiac.

Allows the ability to glide while dealing massive damage.

My momentum significantly slowed down as the skill activated!

"It really worked!?" (Nero)

I celebrate inside my mind~ I was in doubt that it would work but it did!

While feeling happy that I escape death, I headed towards the top of the mountain located in the middle of the kingdom.
