Chapter 3, who knew being antisocial would come back to bite me?

(an, just watched Oppenheimer, pretty damn good movie, pretty sad though, reminds me of Allan Turing, the man who invented what is widely seen as one of the first computers and decoded the enigma machine, a great achievement that likely saved thousands if not millions of people by crippling Germanies ability to send and receive information without being intercepted by the allies, but despite his achievement, was pushed to the point of suicide by his own country for no reason other than that he was gay. So I wanna right a side story semi inspired by it, so expect that at some point, anyway, back to the chapter.)

"well that's certainly strange, I was sure nothing was here before me, so what might you be little one?"

well fuck, how am I supposed to respond to that, I wasn't a very social person in my last life but I doubt any amount of experience would prepare me for this.

"well uh, my name is- sorry was Sebastian, I used to be a human on a planet called earth, but I got diagnosed with cancer, it's a relatively common disease caused by imperfections in our DNA caused by a problem in its replication, and before it could kill me I decided to go out on my own terms, and next thing I know here I am." now I know oh voices in my head 'well that was dumb why would you just tell them everything, aren't you supposed to be smart? I'm dropping this novel! and you should care about me specifically leaving because I'm special, and I'm here to tell you, yes! you are special! but not in the way you might want, see sure maybe that would be a good idea, but I am currently in the presence of an entity that I just watched create a fucking universe and on the slight chance that it can detect my lies I would rather not, and I don't really have anything to lose as far as I can tell, so I digress'

"how strange, you seem to have some traces from the interference of the voice of the world (an, idk if he made it yet in cannon but here he made the voice of the world before he created reality, back to the story), but it shouldn't have had any reason to pull any souls yet, and to even grant you an ultimate skill, very strange indeed, but your here now so nothing to do about it."

oh cool guess god's a pretty chill entity huh, anyway how did he do this, I'm so interested! would it be rude to ask? nevermind, I don't care, I wanna know!)

"hey uh, god? uh I'm curious, how did you make something from nothing, do the laws of thermodynamics not apply here? OH OH does each universe have its own sets of physics independent of one another? how does that work? Or is it like magic or something, OH does magic exist as the sort of unexplained esoteric stuff you see in fiction? or is it another force like the Higgs field or something that can be manipulated without the use of tools or something, how did you make mass from nothing? can magic be turned into mass or be used to reshape energy into mass? how does it work?"

I go on an on and on, but with my newfound ability to split my focus, I can tell how he's reacting to my questions even as I focus on finding more questions to ask, its funny to watch him squirm, its even more hilarious because I can actually see its form physically squirm in a universal sign of discomfort, did I mention I'm and asshole? cause I'm an asshole, oh it finally decided to respond!

"I'm sorry young one but can you calm down, I'm quite confused by your questions"

oh guess some things don't translate into concepts well, wait, does that mean it doesn't know about science? well don't worry! your good friend ME will rectify this situation!

"OH sorry I assumed you would know this stuff see physics are the laws that determine the way the world works, and the Higgs field is a force under quantum mechanics that gives particles their mass-"

"oh I see, well I'm sorry young one, but these things just come naturally to me, so I cant really explain them to you all that well, and I'm a bit busy at the moment forming this new universe."

(an, no I will not come up with a bullshit response to these questions we don't know the answer to, I will never come up with an answer that would satisfy me or others so just no, and I'm also far to lazy, what you gonna do about it :3)

well that sucks, guess this guy is useless.

"but I can tell you that "magic" as you call it, can be used to reshape energy into any form you want, and I don't know what thermodynamics is, but it cant create or destroy energy, only reshape it with perfect efficiency, but that requires a vast understanding of magic and the wor- (mc) "oh hey I did it!" (veldanava) WHAT? HOW?"

"well I mean you said it could be used to reshape energy, so I just idk, tried it? and it worked! wow this is cool, I can make gold out of hydrogen! just fuse 79 atoms of hydrogen and Viola! Gold! damn if a scientist from earth saw this they would probably fall over and die! lol."

"THATS NOT THE POINT! IT TOOK ME MILLENIA TO EVEN BE ABLE TO DO THAT AT A 1 PERCENT EFFICIANCY AND YOU DID IT FIRST TRY AFTER BEING TOLD ITS POSSIBLE AND NOTHING MORE!? and it was so hard to master to."

oh shit its sulking, I just made a god sulk, hey where's my steam achievement?

"hey hey, its not that bad, maybe it was just beginners luck?" Fuck what do I do I've never comforted someone before, let alone a god.

"AS IF YOU COULD JUST USE CREATION MAGIC WITH LUCK!"

damn guess I chose the wrong dialogue option, shitty world, why couldn't my reincarnation give me natural charisma, all those stupid mc's at least get that bullshit protagonist aura to make people like them.

"well guess I'm just naturally gifted then?"

"..."

well great its not responding, what do I do, OH I KNOW! CHANGE THE SUBJECT!

"so uh... cool universe you made here?"

"its empty"

fuck I should have interacted more in my last life

"well lets change that then!"

"fine, lets just get this over with."

"btw I cant keep calling you "god" can I so do you have a name?"

"sure call me veldenava" the entity I now know as veldenava replies, quite obviously exasperated, wait where have I heard of that name before?

"OH SHI-"

(Reader pov, huh who invited you here cliffhanger kun? didn't I tell you your not welcome around these parts after what you did? we still haven't forgiven you for what you did in no game no life.)

(Cliffhanger pov, WHY THE AUTHOR OF COURSE, THEY INVITED ME HERE SAYING THAT SOME READERS NEEDED THEIR DAYS RUINED!)

(Reader pov, WHAT? THEY WOULD NEVER DO THAT TO US! RIGHT AUTHOR SAN?)

(Author pov, WHY OF COURSE I DID)

(Reader pov, WHAT? HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO US, WE TRUSTED YOU)

(Author pov, AND THAT WAS YOUR FIRST MISTAKE, YES CRY, CRY MORE, IT GIVES ME STRENGTH, MWAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!)

(I need therapy)

(AN: veldenava is much younger here, this isn't cannon but pretend that gods have like a society or something and making a universe is like a coming of age ceremony so he's like a new adult and you get a decent picture of what I'm going for here, this isn't how I'm going to write it btw, just a thought exercise, anyway my energy (motivation) and creative juiced (alcohol) are running low and I have some important plans to get to so toddles! (read and sleep alone in my room))

(oh before I go here's a poll if anyone is interested, because I want to skip to cannon in a bit but have two ways I might go about it in my head so here, btw I'm not going to read through the comments checking which ones are/ aren't votes and are just recommendations I will have a SEPERATE option for that, thanks.

Option 1: Have him sent to the main planet before its really developed and have him sort of do his own thing, developing some technology and stuff and not really interacting with the world until cannon starts.

Option 2: Have him sealed in some way, maybe he gets put to sleep by veldenava for a while and his death starts his wake up or something, maybe he gets trapped under a collapsed mountain before he has the capability to escape and just sorta gets stuck there for a few centuries, idk.

Option 3: put your recommendations here, and if any are good or have some likes maybe ill make another chapter with all the new and old options to vote again.

in order to allow time for some votes to come in the next chapter will be the side story I promised at the beginning of this chapter, so expect that.
