From high in the sky, a silvery light shone. The light descended from vast space to earth with no intention of stopping.
The light's contact with the planet's soil caused an apocalyptic destruction. All species went extinct, and the planet boiled in magma and sulfur. And so it went on for hundreds of years.
"Where....where am I?" A resounding voice sounded across the entire planet.
SYSTEM STARTING....

....NEW MISSION RELEASED, DOES THE HOST WANT TO OPEN?....
"What the fuck?!. Did I get into some kind of cliché novel where the character is reincarnated with a system??" Rodrigo shouted.
"In a way, the host is correct. You died of unknown causes while cursing the God of your world. As such you have gained the opportunity to prove yourself a better God than him with the help of the system" said a robotic voice.
"Oh great, all I ever dreamed of was becoming a god" If Rodrigo had a face he would have an expression full of sarcasm. "Good, since I don't seem to have a choice, show me the quest."
"As you wish." said the voice

"Interesting. Looks like I'm going to have more fun than I thought, I can't let this opportunity pass!" Determined to do his best, Rodrigo looked at the planet filled with bubbling lava, wondering what to do.
"Well, maybe I should take something ready-made and just... adapt it. That wouldn't be considered plagiarism, would it...or would it be?"
Without taking any longer, Rodrigo began to shape the world in his own way. First great waves of volcanic lava returned to the cracks in the mantle from which they had come, torrents of water fell from the heavens. The contact of the water with the hot stone caused giant clouds of steam to surround the planet.
After that, Rodrigo decided to wait and see what would happen. With his divine perception, time for him passed differently than it would pass for mortal beings. Seconds for him would be millennia for mortals.
After hours of observing planetary changes, Rodrigo decided to move.
All the steam that had flooded the atmosphere had already completed its cycle, the water that had flooded the planet had subsided to a certain level. This caused large masses of fragmented land to rise above sea level.
Not liking the design of the world, Rodrigo decided to make some changes. He joined the great masses of land into one, after which he divided them into five equal parts that would be arranged on the globe in such a way that they were at a great distance from each other.
Having finished the basic configuration of the world, Rodrigo decided to introduce nature and animals. Rodrigo sought in his memory all the knowledge he had, and with his power he created a seed that would stop all the knowledge of the flora and fauna of his former planet. Thus was born the definitive seed of nature, the role of this seed would be to fill the planet with an overflowing nature and life.
A green light shone from the top of a continent and condensed into a small, delicate green seed. That green seed fell towards the center of the continent and sank inside a crack that opened, from the crack an old and dry tree emerged. The roots of the small tree were lush and immense, they spread all over the world. Where the roots passed, natural life was spreading, trees and exotic plants filled every part with the world.
Satisfied with his work, Ricardo decided to give a part of his divine power to the tree, giving it a conscience of its own.
Small green lights spilled out of the tree and condensed on a woman with dark skin, a face so beautiful she could charm people, ebony black hair and pulsating green eyes.
Rodrigo was already feeling the effects of being alone in the vast cosmos. And he was literally immortal, no matter how much he put humans on his planet, their lives would go unnoticed by Rodrigo, causing him to remain alone for eternity. This gave him reason to create someone to spend eternity with him, and the fact that his partner is a woman is due to the fact that in his subconscious there are still human emotions and desires such as love.
"What am I? Where am I? What is my purpose?" asked the personification of nature. She looked around her in confusion.
Rodrigo concentrated all his consciousness in front of the personification of nature. He didn't want to startle her with his rumbling, majestic voice.
A golden light descended towards the earth and stopped in front of it from the light came a man of ordinary but majestic appearance, he had golden eyes, average face, bronze skin, short white hair and a beautifully sculpted physique. He wore a pristine white toga and golden sandals.
"Hello Gaia. Welcome, my name is...." Rodrigo stopped suddenly. What name should he use? Did he create a new name for himself, or carry on the name given by his parents in his old life?
After seconds of consideration, Rodrigo decided to create a new name for himself.
"My name is....."
