There are moments in life when everything changes, but you don't realize it until much later.
For Luxor, that moment came without warning—like the sudden flash of a star exploding in the distance, lighting up the entire universe for a split second.
Once, he was just another otaku on Earth—someone who lost himself in anime, games, and fantasy worlds. His mind wandered often, imagining what it would be like to have limitless power. He'd joke with his friends, saying, "If I could do whatever I wanted, I'd rule over everything." But he never thought those words would actually change his life.
One night, while watching his favorite show, a strange sensation washed over him. It was a sudden pull, an overwhelming force. His body felt weightless, his surroundings warping into something unrecognizable. The world around him seemed to vanish, as though it was being swallowed up by an enormous, unseen force.
And then… nothing.
But it wasn't the end.
Luxor awoke—no, rebirthed—in a place that seemed to stretch infinitely, like he was standing at the heart of all creation. The air crackled with energy, and he could feel the immense power surrounding him. His body, once human, now felt like it had transcended into something far greater. His skin was flawless, glowing with an ethereal light. His long white hair shimmered, almost like it was woven from moonbeams. It was as though he was no longer human, but something far beyond that.
As Luxor took it all in, he felt a strange presence. A voice, soft and echoing, resided in his mind.
"Welcome," the voice intoned. "You have been granted the power to shape the very fabric of reality. Anything you can imagine, anything you desire, is within your reach."
The words lingered in his thoughts, mysterious yet undeniable. The voice continued, its tone almost soothing yet filled with a strange authority.
"You are now the master of this world. Speak, think, and everything will obey. But first, you must learn how to use your power."
Luxor's heart raced. Power? Master of the world? He glanced around, unsure of what to make of it all.
He raised his hand in front of his face, feeling the surge of energy coursing through him. It was exhilarating—unimaginable, even. But he wasn't entirely sure what he could do. His fingers twitched, and the air itself seemed to shimmer in response.
"Can I… really control this?" he muttered to himself, still in awe of the situation.
The voice in his head spoke again, almost as though answering his doubt. "You can. Imagine what you desire, and it will come to be."
Luxor closed his eyes, focusing on his thoughts. He imagined, deep within his mind, the world he wanted to create—a vast, breathtaking landscape. He didn't speak a word, but the vision was clear in his mind. Mountains, oceans, forests—all of it came to life, manifesting from the very air around him. The ground trembled as landmass shifted, towering peaks rising from the earth, rivers flowing in majestic curves.
"Create," Luxor whispered, almost by instinct.
Immediately, the land responded. Forests grew, their branches stretching toward the sky, glowing with a strange radiance. Mountains rose, tall and grand, casting shadows that stretched across the land. The skies darkened and then brightened, as though the weather itself obeyed his will.
Luxor stood in the middle of it all, awestruck. The voice in his mind spoke again, a tone of approval in its words.
"You have begun to understand. The world will follow your command. But remember, this is just the beginning."
Luxor's chest swelled with excitement. He wasn't just imagining things—this was real. He was real—the power, the creation—it was all his to control.
"But what more can I do?" he whispered aloud. His voice had a quiet excitement, but he knew the answer already. His imagination was limitless. What more could he bring into existence?
The voice responded, its tone now sounding almost like a guide, calm yet undeniable. "Anything. Your thoughts are the limit. You can create worlds, bend time, or reshape yourself entirely. You can make stars burn or mountains fall. All you need is to imagine it."
Luxor's lips curled into a smirk as he stood there, the infinite world at his feet. He stretched out his hand, closing his eyes again. He pictured a city, grand and shining, with towering spires that reached the sky. He imagined crystals growing from the ground, reflecting the light of a thousand stars. He pictured rivers of light cutting through the land, carving out paths of brilliance.
"Create," Luxor said aloud, his voice carrying an unspoken command.
Instantly, a city erupted from the ground, majestic and perfect in every way. The buildings stretched high, their architecture unbelievably grand, gleaming with light and energy. Streets of radiant light wound through the city, bathed in an ethereal glow. A palace rose from the heart of it all, towering above, its spires shimmering as though it was made from the stars themselves.
Luxor grinned, impressed by his own creation. "Perfect," he whispered, the satisfaction of seeing his imagination become reality filling him with pleasure.
But he wasn't done yet. His eyes sparkled with more ideas—more power, more spectacle. The voice in his mind, ever-present, guided him once more.
"Create," it whispered softly.
Luxor's golden eyes gleamed as he extended both hands, imagining the skies around him shifting, bending, twisting. The very atmosphere seemed to ripple, and the heavens themselves began to swirl. Storms formed, crackling with energy, clouds parted, revealing a sky full of vibrant colors, shifting in impossible patterns.
He imagined a solar flare, like the eruption of a thousand suns, tearing through the sky. Without a word, the sun blazed, its rays slashing the heavens, painting the world below in fiery hues.
The mountains beneath him rumbled in response, as if the very land was alive and reacting to his will.
Luxor's laughter echoed in the vastness of the world. "This is nothing," he murmured to himself. "Just a warm-up."
The voice responded in its ever-guiding way. "You are the master now. Your power is infinite. You shape all things with but a thought."
Luxor stood tall, looking over the world he'd created. The mountains, rivers, and cities all bore the mark of his will. His imagination had brought forth a spectacle unlike any other, one that defied reason and understanding. He was no longer just a person—he was the author of existence itself, shaping the world as if it were clay.
He raised his hands once more, but this time, his smile was one of absolute confidence. "Let the show begin."
And with those words, the universe itself seemed to tremble in anticipation.
