The Miraculous Era Creation Plan

After meticulous contemplation, thorough introspection, and deep reflections, Xi Gu dedicated himself fully to mastering the art of "concealment." As graduation approached, he finally managed to infiltrate top-secret bases worldwide, seeking any intelligence related to entities or powers that transcended humanity.

Area 51, FBI, MI6, the Pentagon, underground bunkers, fortified installations…

For the first time, classified documents from intelligence agencies worldwide were unknowingly aggregated by a single entity.

No one knew of Xi Gu's existence.

Only a select few cameras of exceptional resolution caught a vague silhouette for a split-second. However, these rare images were sent to data centers where AI assistants deemed them "reasonable anomalies," relegating them to the trash bin.

For Xi Gu himself, having scoured humanity's most classified databases,

He,

Undoubtedly,

Predictably,

— Came up empty-handed.

Most of the data Xi Gu accessed was a relic from the last century's global surge in parapsychology and superhuman studies.

Over 95% of this data had been confirmed as "false," and the remaining 5% were classified as "most likely false."

Xi Gu recognized many of the subjects, the very ones he had encountered previously. Their data, unsurprisingly, fell under the lowest tier of classified information.

Naturally, those dubbed "superhumans" that even a regular youth like Xi Gu had noticed were already well-known. Intelligence agencies and research institutions would have certainly taken note.

Besides, intel on "UFOs," "extraterrestrial civilizations," or "ancient civilizations" were either about experimental new weapons or intentional disinformation.

Having scoured the databases of the major powers, Xi Gu finally understood.

He truly comprehended.

"It seems… I'm the only one with these abilities in this world, aren't I?"

With this realization, Xi Gu wasn't sure if he should feel relieved or regretful.

Being a unique entity brought him peace.

However, this knowledge also made him feel an undeniable loneliness.

Upon graduation, he halted his quest for the supernatural and immersed himself in the life of a typical student, savoring the joys of ordinary life.

—That said, it wasn't all that different from before.

After all, even if Xi Gu wanted to travel to the other side of an ocean, a mere ten-minute sprint would suffice. Even a trip around the world would only take him an hour.

Every action followed routine. Xi Gu attended classes, took exams, wrote papers, and occasionally mingled with classmates.

In the eyes of others, he was indistinguishable from any other student, save for his preference to reside in rented accommodations off-campus.

Comparatively, his life hadn't changed much. The time once devoted to explorations was now reallocated to novels, games, and anime.

—Interestingly, despite his physique having transcended the human realm to stand parallel with the sun, Xi Gu still relished the joy of an ordinary man, a fact that brought him immense satisfaction.

After all, he never aspired to be an inhuman entity.

…Yet, there seemed to be a void.

While gaming, leveraging his exceptional reflexes, he effortlessly dominated his opponents, securing a top-ranking position. Many suspected him of cheating.

His micro-control skills were too easy. Achieving an APM (Actions Per Minute) exceeding 1000 was almost a myth even for professional gamers, but Xi Gu could achieve this just by blinking. Consequently, the charm of such games faded rapidly, driving him towards story-driven games.

Reading novels, he came across characters constrained by their power, seeking strength from so-called "demons". Despite empathizing with the protagonists, Xi Gu couldn't help but scoff internally. This "demon" probably couldn't withstand even one of his punches.

After a phase of introversion, the allure faded.

He dabbled in employment, realizing he couldn't resonate with the typical ambitions of climbing the corporate ladder. The allure of "power" and "status" felt more like shackles.

—Yet amusingly, his detachment was perceived by others as "being indifferent to fame and wealth" and "having a calm disposition". Coupled with his stellar educational background and unflappable demeanor, Xi Gu was revered by peers and seniors alike, even being selected for leadership training within his company.

However, as the charm of the corporate world dwindled to nothing, he resigned, leaving others baffled, returning to his reclusive state.

What to do next?

Travel?

He'd already witnessed every breath-taking sight this world had to offer. For Xi Gu, most natural landscapes and historical relics had lost their allure.

Leisure?

Xi Gu could control his dopamine release, inducing euphoria many times stronger than any drug. Yet, with his immense control, even this sensation felt mundane.

So, what did he truly desire?

Power? An aspect he never found appealing.

Wealth? He had glimpsed untold treasures submerged beneath the oceans, yet never felt compelled to possess even a ring.

Beauty? Despite adjusting his vision to human standards, he could still discern the minute imperfections on even the most beautiful of faces, losing all interest in human appearances.

…

All the pursuits that humanity had cherished within societal norms, for Xi Gu, had lost their luster.

…

However.

While probing his soul, a budding interest sprouted.

Day after day, amidst the mundane, an emerging emotion began to surface.

The pursuit that Xi Gu had been engaged in suddenly took on a new shape, illuminating fresh possibilities.

It dawned upon him.

He was taken aback. Why hadn't this realization come sooner?

"If this world is so dull… devoid of extra-terrestrials, superhumans, dark organizations, underworlds, gods, demons, ghosts..."

"Why not let me be the one to create them all?"
