《Godhood》Chapter 6 - Arcane, Magic, Monsters, Faith, and Another Nap
Advertisement
Emyir, after just watching the “precursor” races noticed that none of them were using magic. That was when he realized that he had yet to make a way for anybody besides him to manipulate the energies of the universe. That was when an idea dawned on him. He could teach the creatures of the world how to manipulate the energies, which he would now call mana and thereby use it causing some of the energies to be used and slightly stabilizing the flow of the newly named mana.
After formulating a plan after simple lunch that required no cooking, Emyir decided to name the silvery white energy that had originally bound itself to him and was very pure, divine power. As he he had finished decided the use of the of the power a message from a familiar voice rang it his head.
-Congratulations. You have designated divine power within your universe. All gods with use divine power and their domain’s mana as there power.-
-Because of you designating that divine power is separate from mana, all divine power will migrate to a separate energy plane and with no long interact with mana naturally.-
Emyir was shocked, ‘Energy planes?’, he thought. He knew of the existence of dimensions and subdimensions but not energy planes. After a little research he discovered that if he had only one eye open he wouldn't see the chaotic energy that swirled around him, though he could still feel it. This discovery brought new possibilities for how he could stabilize the energy of his universe. Emyir also thought of a way he might be able to stabilize the remaining energies (mana).
He began designating the remaining energies, but wanted to a variety because it’s the spice of life. ‘Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Metal, Nature (Wood), Dark, Light, etc…’ He eventually started combining different energies and making different forms of mana to make more strange mana, ‘Holy, Demonic. Holy Fire, Holy Water, etc…, Hellfire, Poison, etc…’

While he was creating the more advanced mana elements he noticed something in all the different forms of mana. He couldn’t explain it well, but it felt like a veil was hiding the true forms of all the different forms of mana. This caused Emyir to think, ‘If I could find out what mana really was, maybe I could stabilize it’. With this though he went into a long period of observation, experimentation, and thought.
After years of thinking and experimenting, he finally discovered what made them all linked together. The veil was lifted on the mana, he finally understood, all the different kinds of mana were the same. The only difference was that they were disguising themselves differently.
As soon as he came to that realization he went into a trance. He started drawing a massive amount of mana around himself. The mana formed a tornado around him, yet in the middle of the tornado was strangely calm. Almost as calm as the void he found himself in just after his death. The mana continued to swirl but it gradually slowed as it was being compressed into a small ball within Emyir’s hands. The ball was the size of a grape and had the a similar profoundness around it as the material that he made his vessel out of. It was purple just like his eyes. The ball slowly started condensing into a single point as Emyir’s wings began to rotate extremely quickly, as if they were preparing to shield him from something.
Finally after a whole week of condensing, the profound purple ball of energy became an infinitely small point. As soon as it became a point it exploded outward in a wave that instead of destabilizing the mana and bringing calamities to the physical world, everything froze. If one was observing close enough that would notice that everything wasn’t frozen, but calm. The calm that Emyir felt was shattered when he heard a message in his mind.

-Because of your combining of every form of mana and creating arcane energy which shouldn’t be possible until the end of the “extreme growth” stage of a universe, all surrounding Multi-Verse Regional Gods have taken an interest in your development and have also noted you talent. Your name may be brought up in the upcoming Multi-Verse Summit.-
-Because of the creation of arcane energy, all energy in you universe will become significantly more stable. But be warned, you will have to come up with a new ways to stabilize the energies of the universe to move from the “extreme growth” stage to the adult stage of you universe.-
Emyir was ecstatic. With the creation of a unified mana force, he could make creatures be able to use more than just one type of mana, this opened a whole new world of possibilities for different types of monsters. He pushed the tiredness he felt back and quickly moved the planet's surface while dragging a variety of different forms of mana and some arcane energy with him.
He began to take all the newborns and fetuses of most species and sculpt channels within them to store and mainly to utilize various forms of mana. He used the arcane energy to form a core to serve mainly as the mana storage of the body. He went around repeated this step till he had covered many strong or strange and to all the “precursor” races.
He also went around to various spots and made the mana density very high causing mana based creatures to be formed, like golems, slimes, and small groups of undead. This caused evolution to occur in many of the changed creatures, but he made sure no demigods of divine beasts would be born very easily. He wanted to make 3 demigods before he began to allow completely free evolution but he didn’t to rob the truly hardworking and talented from demi-god/ divine beast hood. He also didn’t allow the “precursor” races to evolve to much as he wanted them to evolve into the “ascended” races, but that was for another day as he was extremely tired. But he had to do one more thing before he slept. He transmitted a message to every living thing in the universe in a way that everything could understand, through their souls.
-Attention being of the universe, I am you creator, the god of balance, creation, and destruction, Praise me and you shall receive a blessing.-
These words though simple, could be heard everywhere. Every being stopped what they were doing, weather it was sleeping, eating, or even hunting. It all stopped as all creatures looked into the sky.
As Emyir was about of fall asleep he felt a massive wave of new energy come into existence. It coexisted with divine energy as it had a similar nature and was weaker than the passive divine energy. It was one of praise, awe, and faith.
Emyir smiled as he allowed creatures to start to cultivate their mana.

Malt the Manslayer

Unlike his three classmates, he was brought into the new world not as a mythical hero, but with stats comparable if not worse than the average townsfolk. Assaulted by feelings of inadequacy and weakness, he leaves the comfortable castle life that the royalty offered him and decides to help his new country in the only way he thinks he can. By joining the war on the southern border. Not a war against mythical beasts or powerful demons, but against other humans. He thought that he’d finish a single deployment then come back to the castle, proud enough to stand beside his friends again. Little did he know that he’d become one of the most feared fighters on the battlefield, killing so many that he’d earn the moniker, “Malt the Manslayer.”
