Ficool

Chapter 3 - Chapter 2 Is it finally my turn to talk?

Oh! I still haven't restored your body. Sorry, it has been a while since I last had such a captive audience, I let myself take advantage of it to lay everything out before you could ask any questions.

*SNAP*

"WHAT THE ACTUAL... Why am I yelling"? Better question, "Why did I die"?

It's a side effect of your recent experience. I went ahead and optimized your mental recovery so that we could get to the interesting parts. As to your death, I must apologize. Not because it was my fault, because it wasn't. No my apology is because... I don't know.

And isn't that interesting?

"Huh, w.. wait, what? WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DONT KNOW"?! Oops, I didn't mean to yell again. "My apologies. I'm having a little trouble maintaining my volume."

No worries. Like I said, it's a side effect. I'll give you a moment to collect your thoughts and examine your subconscious to start working on your custom system for your first wish.

"I haven't wished for anything though?"

😂😂😂 Random. Omnipotent. Being.

Sorry, I looked through your life record and observed everything you ever experienced. Honestly, the fact that you were alive as long as you were is wild. Sure no one was actively trying to kill you, and you didn't go out of your way looking to get killed, but you seemed to have a natural coun flip luck that when it flipped lucky just balanced the scale. Some of those incidents like at the lake as a kid with the hole, or that time at the other lake with the blob, you should have never come back up for air. Just to name a couple. Everything you got sick other people who got the same strain of the virus died. It's like you experience miracle after miracle and as a result struggled across the board with things that came naturally to everyone else.

"Wait I thought i was exaggerating with all of that. Are you telling me that I should have been able to just do that stuff? Force my right eye to focus, just pay attention to what was directly in front of me? Sit quietly? Control my temper without closing off my emotions? Keep my volume at a constant level wgwn I got excited. LITERALLY EVERYTHING I STRUGGLED WITH WAS DUE TO ME NOT DYING"?!

Well, no. Not everything. For a start, you did have ADHD. We'll into your adulthood which is rare in itself. Then your pineal gland was partially calcified from the fluoride your government put into the water. Then there's the blue light that interrupted your sleep patterns as well as the constant propaganda you were subjected to as you grew up, and then even worse after you were old enough to vote. Honestly the Creator of your universe has a really great plan for it, otherwise I'd have to lodge a complaint for how Americans are being treated by their own government.

Shock. That's all I'm feeling right now. Is this "guy" for lack of a better descriptor in my mind telling me that not only are most of the "conspiracy theories" true but that there is an all powerful creator over my universe? *Gulp*

Relax. You don't have to worry about that anymore. Besides, if things go well, you should be able to get back gone eventually. You'll just have to take the long way back. Good news though. Your universe is a prime created by the creator himself. And before you ask why it's good news I'll explain that as well as a bit of the power structure of here in the wider sphere.

So, first things first. Power levels. At the top are the original creator and the R. O. B.s like myself. The creator was the first thing to exist. Know that, but don't dwell on it or think to hard on it, because the most terrifying thing out there is existence without them in it. Because without them nothing else is possible. And the concept of true nothing can shatter the mind of anything under the level of an omniversal being.

You're fine for 2 reasons though. The first reason is that you're from the prime. The second is that we are currently in my zone of the in between and in sheltering you from thinking too hard in that direction.

Now then. The creator is just that. They created everything in the prime. They made the rules, the matter, everything. The prime is a part of them. Next they created the greater sphere, which is where we currently are and where the first 3 R.O.Bs came into being. Now its unclear if they came from the creator or if they are beings from the prime but the rest of us know they were next.

Now the following 34 up to and including myself are numbered in the order that we showed up here. Obviously we know each other and the names of each other, but to know our name is to know the sphere itself and that's beyond any being not at the omniversal level.

After the R.O.B.s we have the conceptual beings. At the top of their rankings is the ones known as the Old God's and the outer gods. You can hear their names, but looking upon their true forms will drive people to the point of madness.

Underneath them is the ancestral gods and the true gods. These are the very essence of gods from type world made flesh by the belief in them. They both are and are not. They are more powerful than you and yet without you, they don't exist. They have existed since man started understanding how the world works. You have your various pantheons from around your world, as well as the concepts that exist in various levels across the board. The concepts share some if their power with the various pantheons and the new gods to keep the balance. The most famous of them being Life, Death, Luck, Balance, war, currency, Lust and Eternity. After that we have the new gods. Technology, the internet, media, and the rest.

Having said that and seeing the look on your face, I intentionally chose not to mention any of the named deities of any pantheon from your world, and would advise that you do not as well. There are very many reasons for this, but one of the biggest is to keep from drawing any of their attention to you. Until you are within 2 ranks of any of the gods, always be respectful and try to not draw any undue attention from them.

Underneath this are those who use their own power have started climbing the power rankings of gods. We call this group the millennium gods as they achieved that status within that time frame. This is where many of the "ancestral heavenly realm" cultivation types fall. They often have one or more heavenly laws mastered to the best of their understanding. There aren't too many of them as most choose to stay in their own cultivation worlds and focus on their chosen dao.

Next up we have our omniversal entities. This encompasses every being that can traverse the omniverse through their own personal power and don't need to rely on other technology orpowerful beings to travel.

Next is the multiversal beings. This is the level of those who can view the entire multiverse of their cluster. Honestly it's also one of the weirdest and wildest because it's where most players either choose to stay or die out before they become omniversal.

Underneath the multivers it varies realm to realm world to world or universe to universe. It's part of why mortals are always arguing who's stronger in this story here or that their character is stronger than yours because of this here.

I'll say it clearly here. It doesn't matter who's right or wrong.

Due to the very nature of the multiverse everything is possible.

Nothing is true. Everything is permitted.

So why is it good news? You thought I lost the plot, didnt ya? No, its good news because the prime is the first and greatest creation of the creator! His first story, in the first world ever made. It sets the rules, and the fixed rate of speed for the rest of the world's in the sphere. But more importantly, because you came from there, you can go back.

Every world. Every story. Every system of power. It all exists, because the prime says it does. However, only things inherently from the prime can travel through and return to it. The creator set the rules that way in purpose to be sure that nothing from outside can ever come in and take over or destroy it.

So, it occurs to me that I just dumped a lot of information on you again. I'm going to give you a minute to process that, before I continue.

"Thanks? I guess? "

Don't mention it. 😉

Wait a second.... wait a second..... Prime, sphere, omniversal, multiversal, elder gods, new gods, cultivators, assassins creed quotes why is this starting to sound like a mix of stories I read in fanfictions over the last few years? No....

Yep. The Prime has so much more creative juice than the rest of the sphere, that new worlds are constantly being born as people continue to create. Because the creator put so much creation into the prime, that very nature is inherent to everything from the prime. New gods come and go as writers create them and then scrap stories for new ones. Honestly it's a little concerning how close some of them are to figuring it out.

Honestly, most of the new players aren't from the prime. People from the prime are usually stuck there because most of the $&%*^# energy keeps them there. Plus the Creator setup a very thorough afterlife structure in place. Let me tell you !&^$?$>&÷,. Wait, my bad. I forgot. It's coded into your very being to not be able to witness the grand plan below a sufficient power structure, and most avenues of power have been closed off in the prime.

Don't worry, I'm finally getting to the good news.

Those from the prime, when outside of it have a very unique opportunity.

You can start climbing the rankings just like others out here as long as you play the game. So, just as long as you put in the effort and keep moving forward you can find out why things are the way they are and decide for yourself if you want to keep being a part of that world. With a few perks.

So, shall we get started?
