"Well bummer, I give up... Can you please come out, pretty please?" Beg. Yup, you heard it right. A god was begging a nonexistent entity to show itself, 'Well, I'm still a godlin, so....'
"Ting!!!"
'It works? All I needed was to beg? Are you kidding me?' Enigma looked on ahead with a blank expression as he wondered whether this System had an ego or was it there to teach him how to be humble?
"Hmm, you called?"
'Yup, this little thing definitely has an ego.' He shook his head to clear out his thoughts as he asked, "Yes? No? Nevermind. I just wanted to know what functions you have, what use are you to me or am I to you?"
"Is that so? Well, I can display your existence in the form of data and stats. I can also break down things and decipher them in order to gain information. And I can help manage your chores... at a cost"
'I don't think the last one was necessary. And even if it was, how could you do something like that?' Enigma retorted silently in his mind.
"...That was a joke. I'm your restrictor"
'...Restrictor my ass!!'
Silence descended between the system and Enigma as moments later, awkwardness began rising. At this moment, Enigma knew, he knew that the system could interfere with his mind, and see his thoughts.
'...Apology?'
"Apology Denied!!"
"So... can you show— please show me how the functions work, great system-sir." Enigma, who was a man that preferred to go with the flow than to cause unnecessary trouble, 'respectfully' tried to alleviate the tension between them.
Plus, he was not aware of what this system thing was, and how powerful it could be. Thus, he lowered his position, to avoid unnecessary troubles to come.
"Hmph!!"
The entity known as the system scorned at him, as it felt like an ordinary person for an instant. But Enigma did not want to pursue that.
Nobody said a system was not a person, deep down. Hell, he basically knew anything about systems, so the best choice, was not to involve himself too deeply at the moment.
"I'll take that as a yes." He said as he sat down within the dark starry void. He really wondered what this place was, perhaps his territory from his past life or a pocket dimension.
But why would there be such a large pocket dimension out here, and why would he be able to use it. It was basically Infinite!!

"...I am powerful." Enigma concluded simply as he saw the transparent square screen that appeared before him. Well, anybody could see that with just one glance.
Especially with the vast number of Divine Arts he had under him. He could fight even stronger opponents than him.
"...Don't get too conceited. A Rank 1 True God could easily kill you with just a flick of their finger"
The system cut off his imagination in a severe tone. But, the slight hesitation in its tone caused Enigma to be doubtful. Not that he was truly conceited, but, he just didn't see how this didn't make him powerful.
"How so? Can you show the data of a true god?"
"Of course!! Now, just accept your title as a Rabbit God and you will become a True God"
"...Is there no other way out?" Enigma froze for quite a bit and asked. There had to be many ways to this. Many ways either than this one...
Rabbit God was not a disgraceful name to be honest. There are more names like Fox God, Cat God, Fish God etc.
It was just that, being white was not to his taste. Kaguya was a beauty, and he was the most handsome boy of this generation within the Everlasting Palace, but whose to say being white won't change everything?
"It won't"
"...I know." Enigma sighed exasperatedly as he realized the fact as well. Even if he swam in dirt, he bet he'd still be handsome. Accepting his Fate, he raised up his right hand and put the left on his chest.
"I, Enigma Mystique, accept my past identity as the Rabbit God. I hereby declare to the world, that I have returned." He said solemnly without batting a eye, or breaking out a joke.
But even after waiting for a few minutes, nothing happened. He stood there awkwardly and questioned the system, "Err, nothing seems to be happening, so what now?"
"How stupid can you be? Rabbit God is just your borrowed title, not your identity"
The system rebuked him and Enigma twitched his eye brows and sighed dejectedly. This guy was too much, aren't I a god? But he didn't pursue the matter and just changed his words.
"I, Enigma Mystique, accept my... past title as the Rabbit God. I hereby declare to the world, that... the Rabbit, God, has returned." Unlike before, he felt a bit strained to admit it. He swore that he would never admit this in the mortal world.
Something strange then happened.... Or not.
"Nothing happened." Enigma said to the transparent screen before him, but he then realised that something was different on the screen. No, mostly everything was completely different!!

"Well, there's not a lot of change to be truthful. Just a few add ups, and you were right, compared to a real True God, I was still weak." Enigma nodded to himself as he began calculating his future path.
"...."
As for the system, it didn't bother with him and just looked at the template. Something was wrong here, veeeeery, very wrong.
The divine arts and subsidiary skills one learns at a godlin level is still just the scrubs of the bigger picture.
If they become a True God, most of the divine arts and skills will be thrown away because they wouldn't suit a god of their level, and were not compatible with their Divinities. For every league breakthrough of a god, it's just like that.
Even after becoming a Main or Supreme God, a few of the more useless skills or not polished arts will disappear.
But here, right now, in front of its digital eye, there was no change at all from either his skills or divine arts. Something was truly strange. None at all changed!!!
"Hey, what do you think I should do to get a law?" Enigma decided to seek guidence from his so-called support. Since he gave it respect, it ought to help him out right?
"...Providence. You can use your Providence to do a lot of things. Get a Physique, learn skills, evolve divine arts, create Artifacts, create heroes, forming your own bloodline or activating a divinity. That's why Providence determines one's success in being a strong God in the future"
The system responded in a dignified tone of voice, unfortunately Enigma could still sense the bitterness in its tone. But he chose to ignore it. Instead he asked another important question,
"What about my Constitution?"
"You'll need to uncover your true identity to be able to uncover your Constitution or your past. I'm sorry but I'm of no use there. It's not my job"
"Dont sweat it. Any advise on my believers or my followers?" He brushed over the Constitution problem and moved on to more important discussions.
Though the elementary classes taught them how to become better and stronger gods, it was only advises. One needed to depend on oneself to grow as a god.
"I advise you to create your own race. With your powers, that might not be impossible... It might really be possible. Like, maybe a..."
It paused. Even Enigma paused and looked at the panel in silence. He definitely knew what this system had in mind. And it was plain obvious.
"...."
"...."
"Haah~ Just say it." He sighed in defeat.
"...A Rabbit Race."
"...I knew you were gonna say that, but hearing it directly sounds kind of funny. I mean, I'm not against rabbits, I'm just imagining that's its not your average, everyday, friendly beastmen rabbit race right?" He bitterly laughed as he tried to joke, but he also knew that it might not be a joke.
"Yes"
"Figures."
