"How about, The Void. A basic but fitting name if you ask me." Kieron said, looking at the endless darkness that only held a floor of similarly black liquid.
"It's reminds me of the Beyond in its early stages." Spawn said, pacing around the infinite space, making the surface ripple.
"But yes, it is a fitting name."
"Anyway, from what I understand, your abilities work as if you are writing a book. You can shape worlds with just a description. It's like whatever you write becomes true, correct?" Spawn paused, asking Kieron.
"Yes, precisely that. It's why some of my creations have gone unfinished, because I've gotten distracted or thought up some other ideas." Kieron explained.
Spawn nodded in response, manipulating the essences around him and manifesting a screen similar to that of the System.
"I was going to create things in a similar way, but I decided to go a different route." He explained.
"When I was wandering the vast expanse of the Path, and peaking into realities, I created an innumerable amount of artifacts and concepts." He started.
"The center of all these creations revolve around the idea of the Origin." His hands gestured at the space before them and the image of a empty dark sphere appeared.
"The Origin is a space within the soul where one can store energies within." The dark sphere filled up with specks of light.
"With a storage for supernatural energies, I formed the Ranked Laws, and the Natural Laws. Natural Laws are the rules set by reality, that one cannot defy without the interference of a Ranked Law." The sphere disappeared and rivers of multicolored ethereal energy took its place.
"A Ranked Law is a realized concept that is capable of affecting reality, dependent on the rank of the law of course. Anybody can create a Ranked Law as long as they have the idea and are capable of writing Runic Ecritures. Though I am the only existence that is capable of forming Natural Laws, both types of Laws are merely the condensation of Pure Essence to form the Runic Ecriture of that specified Law." The rivers of energy condensed into the ecriture of {Recreation}.
"Once the Runic Ecriture has been formed, and ingrained into the Origin of a being, one can begin the process towards full comprehension. At 10% of the way to full comprehension lies the lock behind the specific Law Essence for what you're comprehending." The ecriture was ingrained onto the dark sphere filled with specks of light. The light of the ecriture itself becoming brilliant once 10% comprehension was mentioned.
"These Law essences allow the manipulation of the portion of reality the law pertains to." Spawn finished, turning towards Kieron as he made a screen appear before his face.
"Though in nature, Law Essence is too powerful for most existences to contain within their Origin." The image of a rupturing Origin appeared on the screen before Kieron.
"So I designed artifacts to ignore this obstacle." He swiped down and removed the screen from existence.
"I've formed hundreds of gems to embody the Natural Laws and empower them within this domain." He said, holding a white crystal in his fingers.
"And with the Unification of the Natural Law Gems, and the Ranked Law Gems, I have successfully created a splendid reality of fantastical beings." Spawn voiced, Kieron clapping his hands in the background.
"For my first move in this primordial reality, I will lay down the Law Gems and formulate the system that will govern over every existence, and grant them access to the supernatural power of Law Essences without the destruction of their Origin."
The white crystal in Spawn's hand started to float.
"The Natural Law Gem of Formation." He spoke the name of the artifact, and as he did so, it shot out into the vast expanse before them.
After gazing into the stone for a few moments, he uttered a few words, Runic Ecritures appearing before him.
"[Foundation Establishment]"
*BOOM*
An ear piecing explosion sounded throughout the endless void, shattering Kieron's train of thought.
In an instant, a massive black sphere only comparable to a black hole formed in the distance.
"Using the Essence of Formation, I have activated the Formation Gem, and established the basis on which this reality will run." Spawn said, looking at the million light year wide celestial body.
"This is the foundation of the Apocryphal Domain, the [Primordial Heart]." Spawn marveled at his own creation, immense pride forming in his heart for some reason.
"You can see the thick, green energies emanating off of it correct?" Spawn asked Kieron as the two focused on the essence being released from the orb.
"I can." Kieron responded.
"…" Spawn didn't respond as the two only continued to watch the energies travel away from the heart.
*Blip*
One specific ball of energy condensed into a large bright light.
"A star." Spawn said.
The star in turn emanated many different elements, though mainly hydrogen and helium.
He turned back to the construct.
"It passively creates all things for the vast reality to use." Spawn explained, teleporting to the face of the orb.
It had already started emitting the matter that would come to form worlds naturally, all kinds of atoms flowing out of it.
"Quite fabulous..." Kieron said, appearing next to him.
"Exactly! And this is just with only a singular Law Gem..." Spawn chuckled, clenching his fist making another stone appear.
"The Natural Law Gem of Boundaries." The Greyish gem started to levitate above Spawn's palm, slowly floating to the Primordial Heart.
"[Boundaries of Reality]."
*BOOM*
It entered the heart, and a massive shockwave moved throughout the reality.
It traveled so far, the distance couldn't be described through words, yet once it stopped a membrane like wall formed.
It surrounded the primordial heart at an equal distance on all sides, forming a large sphere.
"This gem has created the boundary of the habitable space of this reality, the [Astral]." Spawn said, both him and Kieron gazing towards the transparent walls trillions of light years away from then.
"Within these walls, the Law Gems will function perfectly, as for beyond them? A void filled with monstrosities and ruptures that few existences will be able to survive." Kieron's starry eyes widened, his mouth forming an O.
The two turned back to the Primordial Heart and 18 Gems appeared within Spawn's palm.
"The Natural Law Gems of Life, Finality, Recreation, Progression, Evolution, Fate, Control, Limits, and Bloodline." A variety of multicolored gems left Spawn's hand and floated into the construct.
*BOOM*
The Primordial Heart shone with color and droves of essence left it.
"With those gems, life will natural form on the planets. These lifeforms will have natural limits and will all die, passing down their best qualities through their blood as they continue to evolve over time. Eventually, after passing, the same being will be reborn in the bloodline, and further their legacy as fate decides." Spawn explained.
"Now…." His gaze turned to the gems in his hands.
"The Taboo Law Gems of Apocalypse, Fortune, The Limitbreaker, Willpower, Super Growth, Repetition, The Genius, and Absorption." He shoved them all into the Primordial Heart as he knew it would never willingly accept Laws capable of damaging its very being.
*BOOM*
Another shockwave reverberated.
"With these laws, the astral will forever face apocalypse, but within this apocalypse lies opportunity for growth. The inhabitants of this realm will be capable of stealing the bad fortune, and turning it good." Spawn smiled an eerie smile as he watched the space within his reality change.
Thick essences swimming through space as galaxies and universes formed in instants.
"Now for the Laws of Lesser importance." Spawn said, conjuring dozens of crystals, all of then swirling with different colors.
"All of these Laws will fill in the gaps."
*BOOM*
They all flew into the Primordial Heart with no discrimination.
Be it the Lesser Laws of fire or Water, the Natural Laws of Order or Disorder, or even the Supreme Laws of Creation, Chaos, or Theft.
These hundreds of Law Gems would assist the Primordial Heart in the formation of a nigh perfect reality.
Though there was one more thing that needed to be added.
"And finally, the touch on it all."
Spawn closed his palm, and opened it once more.
Within his hand was a ball of light, purple, gold, and blue swirling within it.
"I've taken inspiration from you're system to create this omnipotent artifact."
There were trillions of Runic Ecritures on the surface of the orb, and Kieron could only stare on in a daze.
"I call it, [The Primordial Sage]!" Spawn had a twisted smile on his face, showing just how proud he was of his creation.
"I formed countless Taboo Laws, and even ingrained Natural Laws within this artifact, to form an artificial being of unlimited power." He started, lifting the orb up so Kieron could get a better view.
"With it, this domain has truly been perfected." He chuckled.
"It is the controller of fate, and will determine how things play out when I am not actively doing so." The ball started to levitate.
"If it deems it ideal, it will grant certain existences incredible power other are not privy to. If it deems it ideal, it will erase places from existence. It if deems it ideal, it will call upon Taboo Laws and gift these essences to the apocryphal enemies beyond the boundaries of Primordial Heart!" Spawn was almost yelling at this point.
"Even though the laws will only function perfectly within the boundaries, The Primordial Sage still has full control of anything that occurs beyond that!" He finished, pushing the orb into the Primordial Heart.
*BOOOOM*
A shockwave larger than all the others travelled across the entire Primordial Reality, catching up with the ever expanding edges of the void and continuing on with it.
All of this earned a smile from Kieron.
"Your ideas are magnificent …" He said, glancing around the reality hundreds of times vaster than his own.
"It comes with the omniscience I suppose."
…
Now, the creator of such 'Magnificent' ideas, stood on the surface of a unrealistically green planet.
"Old Earth." He said, a wave of powerful essence leaving his origin.
Title essence washed over the planet as the plants grew larger, the minerals within the caves grew denser in their essences, and the animals grew more powerful.
The Supreme Law of Titles was incorporated into the Primordial Heart, and whenever something was named with an important meaning.
Usually the essence would mainly be taken from the Primordial Heart, but Spawn made sure it was personally powered by him.
Looking back at Kieron who was too busy playing with a massive moose to pay attention.
It was a enjoyable sight to see his surprise when the moose he was toying with suddenly grew in size, muscle density, and intelligence.
Unlike the average height, which would be near 7 feet, this moose stood at nearly 17, which was even taller than Spawn.
"The Father, The Spirit, and The Will of Existence." He said to himself, lifting of the major titles he would go by.
"For the first major intelligence… I'll do something like, like this."
With a flick of his wrist, the soil before him rose, shaping itself as a dirt colored sculpture.
For Kieron it was hard to tell whether the being was male or female because of the pure beauty, but he could infer it was a male.
"What shall I use…"
Spawn asked himself while looking at the dirt figure.
"Lets leave it up to Sage."
*Pop*
He snapped, the sky above them darkening, and a storm forming above them.
*CRACK*
Lightning pierced the sky and struck the dirt figure.
With that, the figure was given life, and it's Origin was opened.
Both Kieron and Spawn could feel the multitude if essences gushing into the beings core.
The essence of Life, Limits, Limitbreaker, Fate, Bloodline, Finality, Control, Willpower, Genius, and Absorption being the essences every being were naturally born with.
Though he wouldn't be able to utilize this essence or continuously generate it, it coursed through his bones.
What was special about this existence was that the laws of Life, Limitbreaker, Fate, Control, Willpower, and Absorption were fully comprehended!
He was even born with a multitude of other laws, being the Lesser Laws of Earth, Water, Wind, and Communication, the Greater law of the Progenitor, the Supreme law of The Ruler, the Taboo law of Fortune, and even the Natural Law of Space-Time!
He truly had too many laws at his disposal.
But Spawn didn't care, instead, he awaited for the awakening of this creation, alongside the awakening of the portion of the Primordial Sage within.
One of the rules formed by the Primordial Sage would grant access to a portion of the Sages power once the being reached 10% comprehension in a law, and the more laws one gathered, the faster they would grow in power.
"Make sure to witness this, Kieron." Spawn said, getting the Author's attention.
"Name it!" Kieron said, walking towards the now alive being.
"Shiva!" He murmured, focusing on the awakening existence.
The confusion, fright, and reverence was plastered on his face.
Shiva, the now conscious existence had been gifted knowledge.
"You are Shiva." Spawn said, crouching down to speak with the being, yet still being taller than the human who stood at approximately 5'11.
At that moment, droves of Titular Essence washed over Shiva and the comprehension of his Laws were risen, knowledge flowing into his mind.
At the same time, having been in existence for enough time, the Sage decided to make Shiva's accomplishments known to him.
{You have successfully reach 10% comprehension in a Law, in response, The Primordial Sage has deemed you worthy of access to the [Infinity Display]!}

The two gods examined every inch of the Human Progenitor, while examined his very own powers.
His skin was a smooth, chocolate color, with his muscles being pronounced, but slim. His hair was a dark brown rough mess that reached the upper region of his back.
His eyes were red, and all over his body wad red runic art. Instead of acting as generators of essence as most Runic Ecritures did, these pathways acted as an amplifier.
He would be capable of circulating essence through these tattoos, and the more he did so, the stronger the output of his essence would be.
It was a useful ability that would most definitely be replicated by his descendants.
"Uhm..." Shiva started, making the two beings wait with baited breath.
"Hello, Father?" Shiva spoke for the first time, earning a smile from Kieron who was observing from the back.
"Ah, yes yes! I am your Father! I am the creator of all there is to be, and all there is not to be!" Spawn said ecstatically.
It seemed seeing his success excited him.
"Y-Yes sir." Shiva responded.
"Good!" He clapped standing up straight, letting Shiva realize how tall he truly was.
Considering Existence was endlessly expanding, so was Spawn, since he didn't care to stop it.
He was now 5 meters tall, or 16 feet, which was almost three times as tall as Shiva.
"Come little one." Spawn said, spinning his finger and making Shiva levitate.
"Nngh!" Shiva groaned in nervousness, being swiftly lifted to Spawn's shoulders, where he was sat forcefully. Spawn started to move through the dense greenery of the forest with Kieron following behind.
"Call me Kieron by the way." Kieron said, his new moose friend following behind him.
"Y-Yes!"
...
The three arrived in an open oasis. A wondrous pool of clear water with a multitude of animals dwelling there.
Spawn set down Shiva, letting him roam the area as the two gods watched, petting the animals that would approach them.
Spawn inspected his creations while Shiva went around, speaking with them through the Lesser Law of Communication.
Things went on like this for a few hours before Shiva was called over by Spawn.
"Yes, father?" He asked with a wondering expression.
"Kieron and I will be leaving soon, and I've yet to tell you your purpose."
