《The Legacy of Gilgamesh》Chapter 16 Sentient Life (2)
Advertisement
With a frenzied, ambitious fervor, Rico embarked on a grand experiment to craft a new form of humanity in the mysterious realm of Gaia. His vision was of a superior race, one that would tower above all others in terms of strength, intelligence, and capability. But for now, he began with a modest goal of creating 100 individuals, half male and half female, who bore a striking resemblance to the races of the Western world.
But these were no mere carbon copies of Earth's homo sapiens. For Rico had imbued them with a unique and striking characteristic that set them apart from all others - their eyes, deep pools of black, that seemed to gleam with an unearthly intelligence and otherworldly wisdom. And as he gazed upon them in all their splendor, Rico knew that his creations were just the beginning of something truly extraordinary.
He pushed himself to the brink of exhaustion as he delved into the complex and challenging task of alchemically crafting the human form. Using his extensive knowledge of the intricacies of the human body, he meticulously pieced together the various functions and organs. But even with his vast understanding, there were still gaps to fill, missing elements that would bring his creations to true life.
With a heavy heart, Rico turned to the powerful and unpredictable force of Origin to supplement and reinforce his creations. It was a draining and perilous process, one that required immense concentration and a steady hand. Every moment was filled with a sense of impending failure, as the roaring energy of Origin threatened to consume his creations and himself. But Rico pushed on, driven by a relentless desire to bring life into existence, no matter the cost.
As he toiled away, Rico couldn't shake the fear that he would fail to create truly sentient beings. The constant weight of disappointment and despair hung heavily on him as he poured all of his energy and focus into his creations.

He had the urge to give up countless times, the doubt creeping into his mind that all his efforts would be for naught. But he persevered, driven by a stubborn determination to see his creations come to life, despite the overwhelming odds stacked against him.
With each passing day, the sense of hopelessness grew stronger, as Rico watched his creations remain unresponsive and lifeless. He was plagued by self-doubt and the fear that he would never achieve his goal, that all his hard work would be for nothing. But even as he felt himself slipping further into despair, he pushed on, clinging to the faint hope that one day, his creations would finally come to life.
As he looked upon the first human he had brought to life, Rico felt a profound sense of love and responsibility. He knew that this was just the beginning of a long journey, one that would be filled with challenges and setbacks.
But he also knew that it was worth it, for the sake of these precious lives that he had created.
With a sense of stoicism, Rico began the next phase of his work, knowing that it would be hard and draining, but also knowing that it was necessary. He would nurture, guide, and teach these humans, helping them to grow and thrive in the world he had created for them.
He would be their father, their protector, and their god. And in that moment, Rico felt a sense of fulfillment and joy that he had never known before.
But as he looked upon the innocent, fragile beings he had brought into existence, Rico felt a newfound sense of responsibility and humility. He knew that his power came with great responsibility, and he vowed to use it wisely and protect his creations at all costs. He spent countless hours studying and observing them, marveling at the complexities and beauty of the life forms he had brought into being.

Joie de Vivre
A modern man chased immortality and found it. In a mixture of good and bad luck, he was re-born as part of the Uzumaki clan from the Naruto-verse, some few years before their scheduled destruction. But if Daichi were the sort to allow a little thing like fate to get in his way, he'd never have survived in the first place. Dedicated, intelligent, chock full of ideas from a technologically advanced society, and perfectly willing to scorch the earth, he sets out to avert history. Can he avert canon, save the Uzumaki, and forge his people into a mighty nation? Or will he fail, dooming his clan to extinction? At the end of the day, all he wants is a good life. And considering even Death itself didn't stop him, he pities whoever gets in his way. ================== Tags: Naruto, Reincarnation, OC, eventual multi-cross. ================== Author's (Brief) Note: Back by popular demand. This was my first significant fanfic (and fic in general). I wasn't happy with the writing as time went on, and took it down, but years later am still getting requests to put it back up so I guess some people liked it. Newly re-released as I finish some minor editing, there are about 100,000 words (~360 RRL pages) already written, so releases should be fast until I catch up with the backlog. That said, it may languish in hiatus at that point if the interest isn't high enough to merit continuing, so if you're the type to only read finished stories (or ones where the author promises to do so), I am very specifically not promising that. On the other hand, if enough people read, like, review, comment, rate, etc. then it will get added to my writing schedule. Generally, the character is based on a “how badass could someone who hasn't done ridiculously crazy shit be? Or, how does someone with the potential, in another setting, with a lot of luck, to be a badass act and develop as a modern, productive member of society? And then how would they deal with the Naruto-verse?” Please, please do not judge my writing by this. Unless you really like it, in which case fine, do, but recognize my other writing is likely better (unless it’s that one MTG/ASoIaF/SW fic I did over on SB as a speed-writing experiment, which is also pretty terrible).
