Behind The Scenes: The Painter Of Lies

Ah! What's going on, Why can't I feel my body? My head, it's so dizzy. Where am I why is it so dark? Is anyone out there? How did I get here? Why can't I remember anything... Right! I was playing games when suddenly?... Argh!?

[Ding! Host Detected]

Huh? What was that? Is anyone there? Please help me!

[Host Status analysis activated]

What are you talking about!? Host? Are you joking!? Please help me, I feel like my head is tearing.

[Host Status: disoriented, dizzy, mind shocked. Analysis: Overall Structural health is normal]

What do you mean normal!? I feel like I'm dying here. Are you a doctor!? please help me.

[Beginning transmission to Salvation Universe]

[Activating space and time tearing]

Agh!? what the heck did you do? Why is it so bright here so suddenly!?

[Activating voice recording no.01]

[You are our last hope. Good luck Adam. Glory to humanity!]

[recording ends...

Ah right! My name is Adam... and I was dead...

"Ugh! Where the hell am I now?"

I feel my body jolted awake unlike before. My eyes open. I was laying on the ground who knows where. Looking around I felt countless people staring at me.

This... am I in heaven? looking at my body to check. I was wearing some unknown white overalls.

[Negative, the host is not in heaven's domain. You are in a parallel universe codenamed- Salvation Universe on planet Blue]

This!? Is this a system like in web novels? That's right! Did I transmigrate? I stood up in shock.

Looking around I could see levitating cars and odd-looking people. They all look out of place with shocking dress codes. Some even had robotic arms. SOME EVEN HAVE FOUR METAL ARMS!

The countless people on the sidewalk look like they all came from cyberpunk movies. Then I looked at the surroundings and I was beyond shocked. Flying cars! Skyscrapers without an end in sight! Holograms! Robots!

What the heck!? Did I transmigrate into a sci-fi world!? It's a good thing I had the protagonist cheat!

Maybe I'd get cheats like super learning, and dark technology! billion times learning system! sign in to the system!

'System, what can you do and what are you called!'

[The System is here to assist the host in becoming a god! The system is designated God Creation System, created from the Human Salvation Plan by the Terran Empire.]

This... God's creation system! Is the system telling me I can become a god? Isn't this a fantasy system! what the heck!

"Are you going to help me become a god!? Do gods even exist!?"

[Negative, the host is already a god. According to databases god or godlike being existing is 100%]

Hehe, that's great, my protagonist cheat will help me become a god.

"Wait, What did you say!?"

[Negative! The host is already a god!]

My loud shouting attracted the gaze of people around me. Quickly, I dust myself and walk along around as I try to contain my excitement.

'System, what do you mean I already am a God?'

[After the host body transmigrated, According to God's Creating Plan. The system created a perfect body for merging with God's Relic known as Godhead.]

This...This, does that mean I'm a god. can I say let there be light and create light? Can I destroy the world with a giant hand!? can I have an omnipotent body!?

[Negative, the host can't create light at will, this power belongs to the Creator-based godhead known as Godhead of Light. Nor can he make a giant hand to destroy the world. Giant Godhead belongs to God of Beasts]

Then what the hell is my power!?

[The only Godhead currently in possession by the host is the Truth and Fallacy Godhead. As long as enough beings believe host lies, it will become true.]

What!? Isn't that amazing!? If enough people believe me I can create anything!? can I do it now what if I tell someone I am a super-rich man!?

[Negative, the host doesn't have enough divinity to create such lies.]

What then, how much divinity do I have!?

[Divinity is currently 0]

Isn't that saying I'm completely useless!?

[According to data analysis, The System is 100% sure the host is useless.]

My face became crestfallen. System, how do I collect divinity?

[Currently, in this barren ordinary universe, the host can only lie to people until someone believes you since the host is the only source of fantasy in this world.]

So you're telling me to become a scammer!? what the hell system, and what do you mean I'm the only source of fantasy!?

[Although scamming is one of the plans arranged by God Creating Plan, it is not advisable in this early stage. According to the data collected by Earth Time and Space Bureau, this universe doesn't have any magical or mythical beings and energy. it is completely barren of fantasy energy, and the host is the only one emitting this energy. And the rules are currently dormant in this universe.]

Earth what? Since when did my Earth become so advanced that they have time and space technology!? And what are the rules? are you saying I'm the only god in this universe!?

[Earth Time and Space Bureau was created to fight against God's abilities to project themselves through history to destroy humanity before it even began, based on host knowledge it was established in the year 33,666 during the War of Apocalypse. Rules are what give birth to godhead. According to the data collected, you are the only god in this parallel universe.]

This... Gods can be so terrifying!? It can even meddle with history. what is the War of Apocalypse system?

[System Order detected, Does the host want me to play, recording no.02?]

Recording? It even has this. Yes, play the recording.

Terran Federation, Milkyway Galaxy, Humanity Golden Era, Year 35,555.

"W-what is that?..."

A woman said as she looked at the large projection. The woman along with her colleagues stare in shock.

"It's almost as large as a galaxy! It's impossible to get an accurate size. multiple data errors are showing!"

A man said as he operated the scout drone.

"Looked! It opened its eyes!... Oh god! It's staring at us!"

The monitor showed a pair of large eyes staring through the monitor.

"It's a snake! How could a snake get so big!? a galaxy-sized snake! Impossible."

"And it's headed toward our galaxy!?"

Looks of horror emerge from their faces as realization dawns on them. This humongous snake can very well spell the destruction of the Terran Empire.

"God help us all!"

The video is cut and a different scene plays.

***

"Gods, do they truly exist?"

One of the men at the table said. They all wear suits like dresses. The man who spoke couldn't believe it himself.

"There is no longer room for doubt! We are being besieged by these beings known as Chaos Gods! cultist rebellion spreading everywhere! countless atrocities are being committed in their names. The rebels even turn themselves into indescribable monsters!"

The strong man said. Anger flashed in his eyes. Then another man began to speak.

"The materials even said that we should welcome the return of gods! Those bastard fell empires hiding behind our backs while they act peacefully! We were made fools by their technology, now they are attacking key systems! We shouldn't have destroyed the Mekkans centuries ago! They warned us of the gods! But none of us believed them!"

A thin spoke again mumbling.

"The Mekkans warned us. But who would have thought Gods truly existed? Now the artifacts we have collected tainted by them are running."

Is humanity's fate doomed? Despite overwhelming technology, is it completely powerless against the power of gods? This thought lingered around those present.

[Recording Ends]

***

Are there other recordings that I can watch on the System? For example, About the God of Truth and Fallacy?

[Negative. For host protection, the other records are currently locked.]

Then what can the Godhead of Truth and Fallacy do? How powerful is this godhead?

[According to data. The Godhead of Truth And Fallacy is the weakest god, it doesn't even have a divine form. But it can make clones that can warp reality. Some of these clones can even become gods themselves. The godhead is also good at shapeshifting.]

Oh, so it's like a commander-type god? How can I make a clone system? And shapeshifting?

[It is indeed a "command type" god. But unlike games. The clones can rebel if the host is not careful. The host needs divinity to make clones. depending on the clone setting the required divinity gets higher and higher. basic shapeshifting can only be done right now. At most you can change your face, height, body weight, and voice.]

Divinity, this again. So what are your suggestions on getting divinity?

[Hacking nearby data sources.]

[Collecting and Parsing Data]

[Determining the most suitable approach]

[Data collection complete. These roles are the most currently suitable:

Whistleblower

Occultist

Fortune Teller

Historian

Street Magician

Galactanet Influencer]

These are all tough choices. After a few minutes of thought. I made my decision.

System, can you hack the local government and make multiple identities for me?

[The system is the most sophisticated computer ever built. Nothing can top it except for the Machine God. These primitive machines are nothing compared to the System.]

As expected, the system is the best cheat. Now, as the adage says, if all options are good, why not do all?
