4 Creation
"Transport me to my planet. Make sure that you bring me back at sunrise."
Long He requested the system to take him to his base. This night, he intended to create the first two lives, a male and a female.
Ding. Came the answer of the system.
[As the host wishes.]
Long He closed his eyes. He felt the word spin around him and daze took over him. After a while, the sensation disappeared, and everything returned to normal.
He found himself sitting on the not so big ground. "System, how can I increase the area of the planet?" He asked the system.
Ding.
[Host, the area around you is big enough to fit a hundred men.]
"It appears obviously small. Why is that?"
[The cause of this sensation is due to your size being big. For unknown reasons, gods were in a gaint size.]
"I see. But how can I increase it in the future? Surely, my planet's population won't be of only a hundred people."
[The area on the planet is related to the number of faith. Once the number of faith increases, the area will increase.]
"What are we waiting for then? Let's set the outline of the world." With the help of the system, Long He started to draw the outline of the area. A huge wave of water appeared from within the dark void, and it covered the land to create a crystal water sea.
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 island, covered with tropical trees. In the middle, the volcano ejected some lava.
This island was small compared to the size of its creater, it can fit in his two arms.
"Let this be the Island Of Creation," said Long He.
[Would the host like to build a palace?]
"Later. Now I want to make the first two individuals of my world." He willed himself to become smaller in size till he reached his normal height on Earth.
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. With the help of the system, Long He started to shape a body. This one looked more like a man's body, since it had muscles and 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 distinct aspects: personality, shadow, name, heart and life force. Let me help the host in making it.]
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 this planet. 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, and he looked around in confusion. A while later, his eyes were filled with intelligence.
He dropped on one knee and said, "God He!" Long He nodded and motioned for him to step aside and wait.
He repeated the same things: making a body and soul. This time, the person was 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." First, Athalia had the same expression as Imrahil, then she began to understand.
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 your 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 area will be increased by 2 feet.]
Ding.
[Warning: The sun is rizing at this moment on planet Earth. Does the host wish to come back?]
"Take me to home," he nodded and closed his eyes.
