I did a few checks around my universe but when I still found nothing I decided to continue my work. I put a detection system on both of my worlds, hopefully it will detect the anomaly.
'No use in worrying now, I should just continue my second world.' I said to myself and teleported back to the second world.
I thought of stories of gods from my previous world but I can't find anyone that will fit in my second world. I want a god that will help this world that I am currently making.
I used my powers and observed my first world. I'm trying to find anything that can help me. I traveled around and thought of ideas that I can put in my second world.
While flying around I stumbled upon a group of novas fighting. The first group had the same catchy uniform, probably city guards. Judging from the worn out clothes the second group might be bandits.
They were pretty even in skills and abilities but the difference in equipment was huge. One of the bandits got distracted and was impaled in the neck by one of the guard's ice spike.
The loss of one bandit made a big impact, the bandits gradually died one by one. Until the leader was the only one left. He was still trying to resist and fight but it was futile.
When the battle was over the guards checked each of the bandits and then left. I was about to leave too when I noticed something. Like I said before when novas dies their Energy would dissipate and go back to the earth.
'F*** how did I overlook something like this.' I smacked myself.
The souls of novas, they dissepate along with their energy. Only those outstanding souls can enter the Palace of Supremes that I made.
I hurriedly teleported out of the planet and started creating the idea in my head. What I was about to make was a new realm.
The design I had in mind was a realm that collects all the souls of the dead. I wanna give them a second chance. What I want to make is a large city that can hold an infinite number of souls. The amount of sins you committed in your life will dictate your position here.
If you were a sinful man then you will become a servant of the city for a very long time. The good people will become the city's inhabitants. They can choose to stay and increase their good karma to make their next live better.
The ruler of this city is the first god that I am going to make. His domain would be death and darkness. The domain of death gives him the absolute power on the souls of the deceased. The domain of darkness will not only grant him control over darkness, he can also see darkness in people's heart. He will use this to judge a person and adjust his punishment according to the amount a person has.
I'll name him Mortem.
' Time to start. '
I controlled my powers and made a plain. A dark and dreary plain. The next thing I did was design a a huge number houses and spread them in a uniform manner. Then I made a huge black castle in the center.
If your eyesight is like mine you can see the whole design of the city. It is circular with a castle in the center. You will also see that the houses degrade in quality as we go further away from the center of the city.
'I think this will do.' I said in my mind as I appreciated the beauty that I made.
After flying around for a little a bit I did the next step. I used my Origin powers and connected the city to the second world. I made the connection as strong as possibe to avoid any future problems.
I teleported inside the black castle and walked to the throne room. In here is an eerie looking throne. This is where I'll make the first god.
I closed my eyes and imagined the design I want for Mortem. Then I used my origin powers to slowly make it come to life. The origin energy I used to create Mortem is comparable to Samak(The gold serpent). I made him this way to make sure he can fight anyone that decides to mess with the afterlife.
Mortem's build is slim and around seven feet tall. He's wearing a black suit and has a cloak that covers half of his body. He has long black hair paired with skin that is so white it can hurt your eyes if you stare long enough. I made myself invisible and then I woke him up.
When Mortem opened his eyes the sound of a beating heart echoed throughout the realm. He looked a little confused, he was unconsciously using his powers. He was trying to understand what he was.
When he left the castle I used my powers and created a stone tablet that has everything he needs to do. I used a little bit of my powers to make sure he does his job properly. Then I teleported out of the realm.

In the black castle
"Who am I? Mortem? Is that my name?" Mortem questioned as he opened his eyes.
He gathered his thoughts and analyzed what the informations inside his mind meant.
'I am a god of death and darkness.' He flew around the realm with this thought inside his head. He was trying to find someone or something he can ask what this means. When he found nothing he returned to the castle and decided to decipher this himself.
Mortem went inside the castle and flew to the throne room. He was about to sit down when he saw a stone tablet sitting on the throne. He was curious since this thing wasn't here when he left. He picked the stone tablet to see what it was.
The stone tablet was blank. He tried using his hands to feel it but there wasn't anything weird.
He decided to use his power to observe the tablet.
He used his ability to inspect the tablet but when his energy touched the tablet everything disappeared.
Then he saw millions of strings connected to his body. He looked at each one to try and see what it was, when he concentrated on one the bigger strings he found himself teleported out of the dark palace.
Seconds after,right in front of his eyes he saw what the other side of the string was connected to. It was a red beast with claws larger than his whole body. The beast was peacefully sleeping on a floating island.
He walked over and tried to touch the beast but when his hand was about to reach the beast's body he was teleported back to the dreary realm. Immediately after this his mind was flooded with information,some useful and some just simply confusing. It was painful and felt like an eternity but it was a small price compared to what he got.
He knew what he was supposed to be now.
"I am Mortem Ruler of the Dead."
