Synopsis

Chapter 1 - Slumber

In a faraway place, in Southeast Asia, there once lived a miserable man who had completely lost his will to live. No one cared about this person for his looks are that of an ordinary person. Personality so boring that not even a snail would entertain him. His name is Rascri Ficiado, a 24 year old man.

He has the appearance of a skinny person and he is always seen wearing a black hoodie and an eyeglasses. He lives in the house of his deceased parents. He feeds himself by spending his family's savings. He is unemployed, a plague of the society. People don't know who he is. All they know is that he uses his computer all day. Nothing more, nothing less.

One night, Rascri fell asleep, not knowing that it would be his last day on Earth. He woke up the next day feeling happy, a feeling that had left him long after his parents' death.

"Ah, so comfortable!" he says out loud.

A few minutes later, as he was about to fall asleep again, he realized something strange.

"So bright! Wait, why am I outside? Where am I? Is this grass? Why am I naked?!" he asked himself, confused.

Out of nowhere, an unfamiliar being spoke. A being that cannot be seen, yet can be heard.

"Good morning, little human." said by the unfamiliar being in a deep and soothing voice.

"Who's there?!" Rascri asked loudly, scared by the unfamiliar voice.

"Calm yourself, little human." The unfamiliar being said.

"GO AWAY! I'M NAKED!" Rascri shouted.

"It's alright, I had already seen it all." The unfamiliar being said.

"Really? What do you think?" Rascri asked.

"What do you mean by that?" The unfamiliar being asked.

"Nevermind.", Rascri said softly.

The unfamiliar being stopped speaking for a few seconds, thinking about what the little human meant, creating an awkward silence.

Rascri, bothered by the silence, asked, "Who and where are you?"

"I am Ecrovalius, a mighty being of this newly created world," he answered, "and you little human, is the first of your kind in this world."

Rascri, amazed by what he just heard, said, "A newly created world?! Me? First human? This is amazing!"

"So you're basically a god?" Rascri asked.

Ecrovalius laughed at what Rascri just asked.

"I am not God, little human. I am Ecrovalius. God is the mighty being of the world I took you from." Ecrovalius answered in a happy tone.

"So god- Er... mighty beings can laugh too huh?" Rascri thought.

"Humans are very amusing. I have taken a liking to you, little human." Ecrovalius said.

"Anyhow, as you can see, this is an empty world. We mighty beings need to have a huge amount of might to create anything natural." Ecrovalius stated.

"What's a might?" Rascri asked.

"Might is our power. Without it, we would be useless. I know one mighty being who has the least amount of might. The name's Aqua. On the other hand, God has the most might." Ecrovalius answered.

"We get our might through worships and followers. Sometimes mighty beings won't have any choice other than to destroy their world and start a new one in exchange for might." Ecrovalius added.

"If you get it through worships and followers, why not create something that does nothing but worship you?" Rascri asked.

"That's a smart idea but it wouldn't work. The more free-willed something is in choosing who they worship, the higher the amount of might the worshipped gain. Humans are the best examples of free-willed beings." Ecrovalius stated.

"Well, I can just worship you!" Rascri told the mighty being.

"I wouldn't gain anything since you've heard my voice. I can do whatever I want to you without losing a single might. Take this to your advantage in doing whatever you want with yourself for I have taken a liking to you." Ecrovalius said.

Rascri, excited by what he just heard, asked the mighty being, "Really? You'll grant any wish?"

"As long as it doesn't include creating anything since that would take away a few amount of my might. I won't be granting wishes and you will no longer be able to reach out to me after I finish building this world." Ecrovalius stated.

"Aw, I wanted a creepy castle though... Anyways, I'll start by asking for a [good physique and a permanent healthy body]." The moment Rascri asked for this, his shoulders got wider, his muscles became strong, his eyesight became clear. He is no longer a skinny person wearing an eyeglasses.

"Woah! That's amazing! I can finally see properly without needing this eyeglasses."

After this, he decided that he will become the perfect human in this world.

"I'm ugly as hell so I might as well ask for a [handsome face].

I wanna do anything while still being cool so I need that [elegance].

I'll be an overpowered protagonist so I need that [strength that no one can surpass].

I'm trying to look like that one dude from the anime I watched, give me a [pale skin].

[Shapeshifting powers] because why not? I mean you can do it, right?

I will be feared in this world, I need to be [intimidating as hell].

I want [the only one who can harm me to be me] because maybe I'll need my blood in the future.

I want [immortality]. I don't wanna die and I don't want my looks to be ruined by aging.

I [don't want to feel physical pain and mental pain].

[Remove my ability to feel fear]. I don't need it when I'm invincible.

I'm too lazy to take a bath or brush my teeth, I want to be [always hygienic] without doing those stuff.

I want to be someone who [doesn't need to eat nor drink to survive].

I want [infinite stamina and endurance]."

"Hmm... That's a lot of wish you got there. There are some strange ones like pale skin and skipping the process of being hygienic, but I'd rather not question it." Ecrovalius commented.

"I feel like I'm being spoiled here... Am I going too far?" Rascri asked.

"Not at all, little human." Ecrovalius chuckled as he spoke.

"Hey Mighty Ecrovalius, is there magic in this world?" Rascri asked.

"Yes, I do plan on adding magic to this world as suggested by God." Ecrovalius answered.

"Ah, well then, I shall improve myself further by wishing for the [ability to wield all future magic elements while also having infinite mana]." Rascri said... elegantly.

"You said that way too gracefully, little human. I'm impressed by your sudden personality change." Ecrovalius said.

"I am almost done creating the natural stuff and I'm almost out of might." Ecrovalius added. "I'll borrow eight humans from God, I'll be back."

"All of these happened in one day." Rascri thought.

Rascri felt grateful to the mighty being, Ecrovalius, for giving him a second chance in life. "I will repay you someday, Mighty Ecrovalius."

A few hours later, Ecrovalius came back carrying four human women and four human men. He placed one man and one woman on each empty lands so they can reproduce.

After doing this, he found Rascri sleeping on the grass, back on the ground, hands on his chest.

He smiled. "Little human, you said you wanted a creepy castle?" Ecrovalius asked.

Out of nowhere, a huge castle with an intimidating design appeared in front of the sleeping Rascri.

Ecrovalius moved Rascri to a bed and casted a sleeping spell that can only be broken by a certain sound, the sound of his castle door opening.

The Mighty Ecrovalius left a note on Rascri's chest and disappeared without a trace, never to be heard again.
