Choosing the continent

<Above the Stratosphere>

As Kami floated amidst the cloudless expanse of the sky, he couldn't shake the throbbing ache in his head. "Uhh... my head," he muttered, rubbing his temples with translucent hands. "I must have really gotten on her nerves," he sighed, reflecting on the recent altercation.

Despite the turbulence of his recent experiences, Kami was inherently a calm and analytical individual. However, the events with his girlfriend, the enigmatic Kenny, and the bizarre summoning process involving "truck-kun" had frazzled his nerves beyond repair. Now, as a deity, his essence was purified of all impurities, and he found himself in a state of newfound clarity.

The transformed Kami sported short blond hair, just long enough to conceal his piercing marine blue eyes. Standing at an impressive 1.84 meters tall, he draped himself in a loose snow-white robe that billowed gently in the ethereal breeze. His physical form rivaled that of Kenny, perhaps even surpassing it by leagues. "Horse versus ogre, I would say," he chuckled to himself, his smirk bearing an uncanny resemblance to that of an ogre.

"Well, no woman, no use," he muttered, casting his gaze across the expanse. "Not even a single cloud in sight. Though, amidst the light blue vastness, it does hold a certain peaceful charm..."

Suddenly, a notification chimed in his consciousness, interrupting his musings.

[Host, please choose the continent where you wish to establish your religion.]

(×) The Continent of Humans: "Cupiditas"

(×) The Continent of Elves: "Dryadalis"

(×) The Continent of beastmans: "Desertum"

(×) The Continent of dwarfs: "Mons"

'How convenient!',' I need to select my starting point very carefully. Each race has different characteristics. Let's see... The Elves I know through various novels should be very proud beings. They live in harmony with nature, just like the movie depicted. The Elven Continent is united under a single Empire, so they should live peacefully and happily. If I would choose the Elven Continent, the biggest obstacle will be the Goddess of Life. I am not sure if every elf is her subject but nevertheless I would say that the Continent of Elves is certainly set at the highest difficulty.

Mons, huh? The land of the Dwarves. All the system said that they're obsessed with digging up rocks, hammering metal, and getting wasted. Like, seriously, who wants to spend their life underground, covered in dirt?

I've heard they're all about mining and stuff, but it sounds like such a drag. Like, why waste your time chipping away at rocks when you could be out in the sun, enjoying life?

And don't even get me started on their parties. I've heard they drink like there's no tomorrow, stumbling around their mountain halls like a bunch of drunken fools. It's kinda pathetic, if you ask me. Even if I end up choosing the dwarfs, my only options would be impersonating a God Of Mining or the God of Vodka, not my preferences.

Beastmen and Humans should be similar, right? I mean, they're both just trying to survive in their own way. But Beastmen, they're always at each other's throats. It's like they can't stand the idea of working together, even for their own good.

My religion wouldn't stand a chance if I tried to unify the different Beastman tribes. They despise each other so much that it could even spark a pseudo civil war. That's the last thing I need.

Which brings me to Humans. My old kind. Sure, they betray and kill each other, but at least they do it with style. And right now, the human continent is in chaos. They should be more open-minded to salvation, right? I could easily climb the power ladder if I start in a small kingdom on the brink of destruction.

[The continent of humans: "Cupiditas", affirmative?]

"Yes", Kami eagerly shouted.

[Gotcha.]

[Beginning teleportation in 3...2...1]

*woooshh*

In the boundless expanse of the Void, where reality blurred into an endless canvas of swirling colors and shifting shapes, Kami found himself adrift. He floated weightlessly, his translucent form illuminated by the faint, ethereal glow that permeated the space around him.

As Kami drifted, he couldn't help but feel a sense of both awe and trepidation. The Void stretched out before him, a vast and unfathomable abyss that seemed to defy all logic and reason. It was a place of infinite possibility, where the boundaries between dreams and reality blurred into obscurity.

Suddenly, a shimmering portal materialized before him, its edges pulsating with an otherworldly energy. Intrigued, Kami approached cautiously, his curiosity piqued by the promise of adventure that lay beyond.

With a hesitant step, Kami crossed the threshold of the portal, his form engulfed by a blinding light as he was transported to another realm. As he emerged on the other side, he found himself in a vast, barren landscape, where towering monoliths of obsidian rose from the cracked earth like silent sentinels.

The air was thick with an oppressive stillness, broken only by the distant rumble of thunder echoing across the desolate horizon. Kami shivered, a chill running down his spine as he surveyed his surroundings.

But amidst the desolation, there was a strange beauty to be found. The jagged peaks of the obsidian monoliths gleamed in the pale light, casting long, eerie shadows across the barren landscape. And overhead, the sky was a swirling maelstrom of colors, an ever-changing tapestry of light and shadow that seemed to dance with a life of its own.

As Kami stood alone in the Void, he couldn't help but marvel at the sheer vastness and complexity of the world around him. It was a place of infinite wonder and mystery, where the boundaries of reality were stretched to their limits.

As Kami stood amidst the desolate landscape of the Void, a sudden disturbance rippled through the fabric of space-time. Before he could react, a swirling vortex of energy materialized in front of him, its gravitational pull tugging at him with irresistible force.

Panicked, Kami tried to resist, but it was futile. The relentless pull of the wormhole grew stronger with each passing moment, dragging him inexorably closer towards its swirling depths.

With a final, desperate struggle, Kami reached out towards the fading light of the void, his translucent form flickering in the chaotic energy of the wormhole. And then, in an instant, he was gone, swallowed up by the swirling vortex as it collapsed in on itself, leaving behind nothing but an eerie silence in its wake.

As Kami was drawn into the swirling vortex and disappeared, leaving behind an empty void, a shadowy figure emerged from the darkness. Materializing silently, it hovered where Kami had stood, a sinister presence in the cosmic silence. With a menacing whisper, the shadowy figure lingered briefly before vanishing, leaving nothing but an eerie emptiness in its wake.

"Now even baboons can become a god... she is truly a psycho"
