Mara pov
So, let's start building my world from the information I got from the previous source; creating a world takes heavy effort and time. To do that myself is extremely boring because I am too lazy; I only want to be an observer like the old source.
This fire that I ignited in my palm is a soul, or perhaps it is easier to say, my soul. Because it is my soul, it is indestructible and infinite; this is what I will use to make life in my universe.
The previous had to break his soul into pieces for diversity; if I made life without a soul, then it would not have free will like the creature I made previously.
If the creatures had no free will, I would need a creator god to write destiny for me and that would be too much of a drag. But I don't want them to be mindless dolls either because it will be boring, and I want some thrill.
The void is an empty canvas ready to be filled with many things. So, let's start by making a reality. To split my soul, I needed to channel the energy of the void to break it. (The void energy is the greatest and most chaotic energy in existence only Mara is capable of using this energy)
The soul is indestructible because it cannot be destroyed but it can be broken into many parts... infinite parts. I need everyone's soul to be of the same size, whether mortal or immortal. (Mara's soul will be the supreme soul or the origin soul because he wanted to call it that)
If a being had a soul of different size than others, They will not be able to move their body and fall to an inactive state due to the reality not being able to carry the burden of such a large soul.
A reality can carry any number of souls, but it cannot carry a soul of a different size than others due to it having a certain capacity and limit it cannot carry a small soul either; the soul of a different size will be sent back to the supreme soul and merge with it.
The soul will hence be broken into equal size due to there being no advantage in having souls of different sizes. I decided the soul would be the size of an atom, which is 3 angstroms.
After making such a decision, I broke a part of my soul exactly the size of an atom, then gave it a connection to the void; I made this soul turn into energy, let's call it Maya which is basically what reality is made of.
It is similar to what people in my previous world called mana; it works based on the law of equal exchange; every place which has beings with thoughts and dreams has it because it will be made by the imagination of creatures.
Maya will be the attribute that makes this reality. It will work well as a magic source for the world, too, so I will allow mortal creatures to use it. With Maya, they will be able to use spells and curses.
But I needed a greater source to control all of it, so I broke a piece of my Soul bigger than the previous one. This allowed me to make sila. With Maya, you can control some aspects of reality, which usually depend on the user.
But they will be small, like exchanging fire for maya; the fire born will be equally proportional to the amount of Maya you spend. The Maya, which is used, is sent back to the universe. An individual's Maya is determined by his birth, but he will be able to change it using several things.
Sila allowed me to control Maya perfectly. So basically, it is the manipulation of reality using an energy greater than it, which has consciousness. I gave Sila consciousness due to it having a soul. The soul which turns into energy will be controlled by a greater soul, which is Sila.
I gave this power the name Maya because Maya means illusion, and I thought it would be ironic to call reality an illusion. Sila means control, according to me, so that's it.
Sila had a consciousness, but it was also an energy which could control reality. Instead of asking me questions, it was already aware of what its existence implied and what its purpose was.
Then I ordered it to arrange Maya and connect it to the void, and thus, my reality was formed; now I could control the void as I pleased, but Maya is not stronger than void energy, so it will be separated from the universe; then I decided to make a creator god.
To make a creator, I took a soul from the supreme soul (my soul) and created a body made of Maya and gave him the powers to create anything within in this universe.
I gave him all my creativity skills and knowledge about stuff I know from my past life
Due to my soul not being a part of Maya, I could create a soul out of nothing; the Maya I created was infinite; I could make anything out of it using Sila, which was not spiritual. It is more like reality manipulation, but only the physical world is allowed to be created and manipulated.
Then I gave him all the information he needed to know and how to behave infront of me. For being the first creator god, I needed to give him a name.
"Your name will be Aham"
To which Aham trembled and fell to his knees, saying, "Oh, how blessed am I, hail the supreme creator. I am born with the purpose of serving you, my lord, what is your name?"
I thought for a moment and decided to tell him my name from the previous world and I said "My name is Mara"
When he heard this, he said, "Lord Mara, I will create the universe out of my powers. Until then you may rest, but having a lower power than you, I am afraid to ruin your precious home, therefore I am not capable of making a home for you my lord, please forgive me"
Hearing this, I smirked and said, "Don't worry about that; make the universe according to the instructions I gave you. Until then I will build my own home"
Then he bowed down to me and started creating the universe, when he channelled his creation energy throughout the emptiness, bright lights were moving in circles as if a great ritual was about to happen
The ashes of the previous universe came towards Aham, and with them, he started creating the universe. Not wanting to stay any longer, I decided to make my home.
A place where I would rest and watch things happen after I created the world; for that, I made a serpent, and I gave it the power to have an entire dimension in it.
It would be my gatekeeper and a way to create a mythical creature.
It was a serpent of infinite height, let's call it ekans; this serpent was white like the moon, sometimes radiating white like flame and other times of a simple white complexion.
He wears a jewel radiating power to control the flow of time and wreath upon each brow; and shines like the white mountains topped with flame. He has gold markings near his hood and is ornamented with a white and gold necklace, but to make it more interesting, I decided to give it a soul after it was made.
Giving it all the information it needed to know and making it totally accept I was its master.
The serpent, which was like fog, moved along with me to the lowest point in the universe. There, I made water for it to roam on. The water was not ordinary. It was made of aether. (aether has special properties which will be uncovered later)
There it was, worshipping me with its golden eyes; it was my pet. "Skrrr!" It said then, I asked it to open the gate to the other dimension. This made it happily nod, and when its jewel glowed, it formed a gate with many carvings to it.
I told it to enter the gate with me; hence, it just teleported inside due to its infinite size. It had thus entered the dimension with me, I named it Dimension 0
I opened the door to see a dreamy world filled with stars; inside it was a single piece of giant rock. Because this was created by Maya, I could manipulate it.
Then, out of the giant rock, I made a castle and a forest; because I had a bad naming sense, I named it the Castel of Dreams. Inside the castle was a hall where millions of people could fit in.
The centre had a statue of me wearing a mask which looked like a demon; the statue was black, sitting in the position most demon lords in anime would sit, and the throne was made of gold.
There was the beach where I could enjoy playing alone, the bedroom which had the most comfortable bed in existence, and desserts which I could eat forever; they tasted divine.
A platform for landing transport, an area for pets and much more amazing stuff; it was like I was in a dream where no one could disturb me. Then I teleported to the forest where nature's beauty was on full display.
I made life from my previous life here and distributed them properties of those animals. The forest is full of mountains filled with all kinds of valuable jewels and minerals and surrounded by all varieties of valuable trees and plants. The top of the hill is nicely decorated by various types of deer.
There are many waterfalls, and in the mountains, there are many beautiful caves. There is always the rhythmical sound of the peacocks' sweet vibrations and the bees' humming. Cuckoos are always singing, and other birds whisper amongst themselves.
There are tall trees with straight branches that appear to call the sweet birds, and when herds of elephants pass through the hills, it appears that the forest moves with them. When the waterfalls resound, it appears that the forest also does. There are other trees also which decorate the hill.
In the ponds, the golden lotus flower sprouts, the cinnamon tree and all the trees I know about. The forest appears to be a decorated garden, and the small lakes are full of various kinds of birds who whisper very sweetly.
There are many kinds of other animals also, like deer, monkeys, boars, lions, forest cows, horses, tigers, small deer, buffalo and many other animals, who are fully enjoying their lives. It had a single river flowing through it I named it Beatrice, which is 'she who brings happiness'.
Then, I teleported back to Aham, he was still making the universe.
So now I have to think about the gods, I have to make and how they will be formed because I need to make an interesting story for myself.
