Death was interesting, it only lasts a moment and yet it sticks with you forever more.
There exist a great many theories as to what comes after death and as I suspected they are all true.
After all, the Void is beyond reality and infinity.
More accurately the Void or Nothingness is the father of Creation and Creation begets all.
This is something I have believed in religiously and now that I am dead I can see it.
'Beautiful' I inwardly marveled.
I had no idea why I am outside the piece of creation I am native to, however I can feel a sort of barrier protecting me from returning to the Nothingness.
However I could also feel that my protection was failing.
This is only natural, the void is eating at it.
I instinctively knew that I needed to enter a universe to regain the protections reality would grant.
However Time and Space do not exist within the Void which would mean that I should not be able to navigate it, but thankfully I am still moving, somehow...
And sometime between Eternity and a moment I gained entry to a beautiful universe which to my conceptual sight looked to have other smaller universes orbiting it.
Even among the infinite number of universes I glimpsed during my journey this is one of the prettiest.
Sadly that was the last thought I would have for a while.
***
I was born to a woman of olive skin and a caucasian man, both of which possessed a truly supernatural beauty.
I would come to be known as the child of surprise for a great many reasons, the first of which being my birth. Afterall not much can surprise people who partook upon the forbidden fruit, gaining knowledge beyond any other mortal.
In case you have yet to figure it out, I was born the youngest child of Adam and Eve.
Yes, The Adam and Eve, the father and mother of humanity.
Normally this is when most transmigrators would either start to freak out or sulk. After all, to start anew from the beginning of everything is not the restart most would want, but not me. After all I was born special or did you think that one can traverse the Void without being affected in some way?
What is it, you might ask, a system? The template of an OP character? Or perhaps one of those overpowered Essances?
Well no, my power wasn't given to me by some all-powerful entity, instead you could argue that I created it myself. Well that is a bit of an exaggeration but oddly enough it isn't far from the truth.
While alive I had one great obsession, that being creation in all its forms, whether that be the imagined ability to create anything, or the many forms of creation shared by others, whether that be in the forms of inventions or imagined pieces of fiction. I would love them all the same.
This stuck with me even after death and became a core part of my being.
As such over my journey my soul grew to the point turning my obsession into an ability.
I like to call it "Creation", though the name is more what I wish my power could have been, for in truth it is both more limited and infinitely more powerful.
My power of Creation can be divided into four major abilities working in tandem. Those being: Insight, storage, Creation and Adaptation.
The ability is first triggered through "Insight" which grants a "Perceptive understanding through analytical vision" however the word vision is used loosely here, as my sight is not limited by my eyes but instead I have retained the ability I developed during my journey through the Void thus I can, even now see other universes, and so analyse them. I can, if I find interest in a given universe, store the knowledge, item or ability within myself and later recreate it.
Whilst the advantages are innumerable, there also exist drawbacks.
The first being that not all realities work upon the same principles and thus abilities might not work as intended. An easy way to think about it is how the laws of physics take a backseat in a Toon-verse whilst they are reinforced in a magic-less world.
The second major limitation is based upon compatibility, my soul has experienced much and yet even after dying and being reborn I would need dozens if not hundreds of time more effort to acquire a skill directly related to death, whilst a life creation ability would come so much more easily to me.
The third major limitation is based upon the power difference between myself and the ability or item I wish to recreate, the greater the difference the greater the time needed, the difference often becomes exponential in terms of download time.
The fourth is more of an observation, universes with beings of great power can hide from my sight, I theorized this after never even glimpsing universes or multiverses with being at the universal level or above.
But back to my early years. My parents knew that I was different but they never judged me. I even grew to care for Adam, but Eve I loved her, both as a mother and as something more.
Another woman like her there will never be.
She was my anker to this new life.
Thanks to her I learned much of this world. That fruit was no joke.
My image of the first couple was that of humans barely better than cavemen, and yet they make me feel like the uncivilized one.
This is most evident when speaking of this world, for this world is one where all manner beings exist, ranging from nature spirits to literal gods.
***
There wasn't much for me to do as a baby which is where my power came in handy, I was always too busy watching other universes to care about my situation.
It was like having an infinite number of TV shows active at all times, whilst all I needed to do was focus on the one I liked most.
The world of Avatar The Last Air Bender was exactly that for me. As a toddler I bore witness to the journey of the first Avatar until the era of Aang and later Korra. Over a thousand years of history, but in truth that barely lasted until my third birthday.
As to me time in regards to the outside is subjective.
I did not limit myself simply watching the events, instead I used those three years to replicate many forms of bending. I believed that having supernatural powers of my own will only be to my advantage.
However the first major limitation applied to the abilities I acquired. Instead of allowing me to bend the elements, like the people of ATLAB, it translated to my acquiring affinities to the elements I copied, and I would come to learn in the future, turn my life force into the desire element to boost myself and recreate a limited form of bending limited to what I can generate myself.
In the grand scheme of things I came out on top, even if things could have been better, after all, through this power acquisition, I acquired an affinity to the major elements air, water, fire, and earth. All while gaining the affinity to minor elements such as lightning, metal, sand, lava, and blood. That is not to mention the ideas that could prove useful if I can replicate them in my universe such as healing through water and spiritual ascendance through inner liberation.
Sometimes ideas are more useful than straight up power.
As soon as I was done with my first universe I immediately began searching for another one that could interest me, but more important was for me to already know that universe, that way I would know what to look for.
It took me a few weeks but I finally ran into a world I recognized, that being the world of A Song of Ice and Fire during the Ghiscari wars. This to me was the perfect time period for my power as the Valyrians were at the peak of their power.
ASOIAF might not have much to offer me but that isn't to say that there isn't anything I wanted, starting with the minor affinity toward dragons the forty families managed to usurp followed by all their magical knowledge, no matter how vile I find it to be. But in truth I mostly focused on items such as Dragon eggs of which I replicated hundreds followed by unique weapons like Dawn.
That was when I moved onto replicating people. Yes, I can recreate living beings, beautiful Valyrian women, major characters I liked and even species unique to ASOIAF.
That is not to say that I recreated them immediately, no instead I stored their information, that is to say everything they are from their body specification to their memories to even their souls. This will allow me to create a perfect replica of whomever I want, not that I can do so as I am currently too weak for such a thing.
I instinctively know that I need seventy more times the amount of energy I currently have to recreate someone like Daenerys Targaryen who in the grand scheme of things is little better than the average human.
This was when I moved onto the so-called gods who in truth are either psychic parasites in the case of the Old Gods, dimensional entities in the case of R'hllor or spirits of nature in the case of Mother Rhoyne. I found very little I would want from any of them hence why I ignored them for the most part.
Though I did study the existential structure of nature spirits, you never know when this might prove useful.
At this point I understood that using my power is no different from gambling as I can never know what universe I can run into. That is why I decided to look closer to home, that is to say my home universe. From what my parents taught me there exists a great many species who have a great number of powers.
Starting with humanity who are seen as the weakest though in truth their potential eclipses most gods as they were created in the image of the Biblical God who is a true god otherwise known as a Primordial, making him a fundamental part of existence.
This indicates that humans have the potential to reach a similar level of power. Though in truth few if any will ever come close to that level of power.
We humans simply lack the innate advantages other species have. Hell, we can't even use magic.
My father Adam is currently the most powerful man on earth. He can destroy mountains with a single punch, move at speeds beyond comprehension, and yet he is limited to what his body and life force allow him.
I of course am not content with just that much so whilst I learned all he could teach me I also scoured the world for weak creatures with powers I can add to myself.
'This could be so much easier if I knew where I was.'
The truth is that I have a few guesses but I am too early in the timeline to know for sure if I have knowledge of this universe.
Even if I did, my inner reserves limit the changes I can make up myself.
It is for this very reason that I was looking to add an energy source to myself, preferably magic.
For that my sight has presented me with an uncountable number of creatures but what creature represents power more than dragons?
However as an avid MMO player I know better than to turn myself into a dragon, for all I know there is a dragon slaying sword stashed somewhere.
As such I instead chose to take what I need and nothing more.
To do so I spent years analyzing the weakest dragons I could find along with at least one of each monster species within my range of power.
I then spent some more time comparing their individual energy sources.
In the end of my study I constructed a whole new energy core that would create its own Mana regardless of outside influences.
This became my first major milestone.
By now I was a teenager, and in the fashion of the people of the time I was meant to marry.
I could have been a brat about it, but instead I found this to be an opportunity, for I could become the mother of a whole new branch of humanity, one that was not as limited. After all Adam will not live forever and we, his children, are nowhere near his level of power.
If I can create humans who have an easier time progressing and a greater initial power level then I will be satisfied.
Coincidentally I had never stopped looking for new worlds and during my wedding I finally found one that was exactly what I have been looking for.
The world of Harry Potter.
