4 Creation
"System, can you take me to my planet now?" Long He requested from the system. This night, he intended to create the first two lives, a male and a female.
Immediately, the answer of the system came, and the notification ring echoed in his head.
Ding.
[The host can go back now.]
Long He nodded and said, "Make sure to bring me back at dawn. I don't want my mother to sense anything strange."
[As the host wishes.]
Long He closed his eyes. He felt the word spin around him and dizziness took over. After a while, the sensation disappeared, and everything returned to normal.
He found himself sitting on the not-so-big ground. "System, why is the area of the planet so small and tiny?" he asked.
Ding.
[Host, the area around you is big enough to fit a hundred men.]
"I am not blind! But obviously, it is too small to fit this number of people."
[It appears small in the host's eyes only because your size is just too big!]
"Big? I am in my normal human size, how I am supposed to be big?"
[To prove the system's words, just close your eyes and will your size to become smaller.]
He did as the system suggested, and discovered that the land around him indeed increased. This indicates that the system was right, he was the one that was big.
He returned back to the original size and said, "How can the area be increased in the future?"
[The area on the planet is related to the number of faith. Once the number of faith increases, the area will increase automatically by itself.]
"What are we waiting for, then? Let's set the outline of the world."
The ground started to shake, and countless explosion were seen in the ground. As the explosions died, a massive amount of water burst out from the craters.
The water started to fill the land, and thus coloring the sky with its sea-blue color.
After some time, the sea vibrated, and a hollow mountain broke from the surface to face the sky. The land continued to emerge until it was a medium sized deserted island, with a volcano at the center.
Ding.
[The host can use this free seed and plant it here.]
When the voice of the system faded, a small seed appeared in Long He's right hand. He knelt down and planted it in the earth.
With the help of the system, he created a time dimension to help fasten the growing of the seed. After an hour of waiting, the beginning of a plant sprouted from the earth, and it continued to grow slowly until it was a huge world tree.
And so on, the island started to have all sorts of plants and trees everywhere. In the middle, the volcano spit some lava, making the soil more fertile.
Compared to its creator, the island was small, and it could fit in only one of his hands. From outside of the island, Long He looked at his first creation and was satisfied with it.
"Let this be the Island Of Creation of my planet, Aquahelios!" said Long He.
Ding.
[Congratulations, host, on creating your base. Would the host like to build a palace?]
Long He nodded and willed his size to decrease. He hovered in the air and flew towards the volcano.
He made an empty grasp with his hand and forcefully lifted it upwards. Immediately, a large piece of rock flew out of the volcano and hovered in the air, in front of Long He.
Two long metallic chains appeared out of nowhere and caught the hovering rock, preventing it from hovering too high in the sky. From the rocks of the Island Of Creation, a simple palace was built atop of the hovering rock.
Long He stepped into the volcano. The lava and flames didn't affect him, so he had no problem walking through them.
He controlled the lava to merge into the hard soil, and with the help of the system, Long He started to shape a body. This one looked more like a man's body, since it was muscular and had manly features. He sculpted the face of this man, giving him the features of humans.
However, he made the ears pointed, so he looked like an elf more than of a human. The body remained lifeless since it required a soul.
"System, How do I make a soul?" asked Long He.
Ding.
[The soul consists of five separate parts which were integrated into a whole individual but had very different aspects: personality, shadow, name, heart and life force. Let the system help the host in making it, if it is hard for you to do so.]
Under the instructions of the system, Long He proceeded to make the soul, part by part. After a while, a transparent body, that had the same lineaments of the physical body in front of Long He, floated in the air.
"I name you Imrahil, the first man on planet Aquahelios. You will have faith in me, and in return, I would fill your heart with life force, making you immortal," he said while pointing at both bodies.
He breathed in the body, and then, the transparent body fused with the physical one. Imrahil's eyes snapped open, looking around in confusion, and a while later, his eyes were filled with intelligence.
After inspecting his surroundings carefully, Imrahil dropped to one knee and said, "God He!" Long He nodded and motioned for him to step aside and wait.
He repeated the same process, making a body and soul. This time, the body was of a female.
"I name you Athalia, first woman on this planet. You will have faith in me, and in return, I would fill your heart with life force, making you immortal."
At first, Athalia had the same expression as Imrahil, then she began to understand what was happening.
Imrahil and Athalia dropped on one knee and bowed for their creator, waiting for him to speak.
Finally, Long He spoke with a gentle voice,"I name you husband and wife, and you'll be the parents of all beings of the Fire race. Now go, explore this island and have children. Remember, everything here belongs to me, even your lives, so you'd better pray for me."
He raised his hands, and the couple flew out of the volcano.
Ding.
[Congratulations, host. You have gained two points of faith. The planet's area will be increased by 2 feet.]
Ding.
[Warning: The sun is rising at this moment on planet Earth. Does the host wish to come back?]
"Take me home," he nodded and closed his eyes.
