[Genesis - 1]

//Yeppers. We're doing this now. The MC is anything but weak, but he's not strong in the sense one of you might expect him to be. He's... well, you'll see. Also, this might just be a story-driven... well, story. More so than my other stories that have their fair share of smut.

Not completely canon accurate and follows the manga, most of the time anyway.

Any requests for potential love interests/scenes? Honestly, with the way this story will be done, anything is possible so long as it catches my attention.

I feel like I mentioned this in another A/N but if I haven't, I'll say it here. The books I have published will be updated over time when I am not being worked to death by just about everyone in my life. That means that while some of my books may have only 3 chapters now, the actual number of chapters will change in the future. I just don't know when.//

[Before creation...]

["In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form, and void, and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters." — (Genesis 1:1-2)]

[The First Day of Light...]

["Then God said, 'Let there be light'; and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. So the evening and the morning were the first day." — (Genesis 1:3-5)]

[The Second Day of Firmament...]

["Then God said, 'Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.' Thus God made the firmament and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament, and it was so. And God called the firmament Heaven. So the evening and the morning were the second day." — (Genesis 1:6-8)]

[The Third Day of Earth, Sea and Vegetation...]

["Then God said, 'Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear'; and it was so. And God called the dry land Earth, and the gathering together of the waters He called Seas. And God saw that it was good." — (Genesis 1:9-10)]

["Then God said, 'Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb that yields seed, and the fruit tree that yields fruit according to its kind, whose seed is in itself, on the earth'; and it was so. And the earth brought forth grass, the herb that yields seed according to its kind, and the tree that yields fruit, whose seed is in itself according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. So the evening and the morning were the third day." — (Genesis 1:11-13)]

[The Fourth Day of The Sun, The Moon and The Stars...]

["Then God said, 'Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years, and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth'; and it was so. Then God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He made the stars also. God set them in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth, to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good. So the evening and the morning were the fourth day." — (Genesis 1:14-19)]

[The Fifth Day of Birds and Fish...]

["Then God said, 'Let the waters abound with an abundance of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the face of the firmament of the heavens.' So God created great sea creatures and every living thing that moves, with which the waters abounded, according to their kind, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, 'Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.' So the evening and the morning were the fifth day." — (Genesis 1:20-23)]

[The Sixth Day of Humans and Animals...]

["Then God said, 'Let the earth bring forth the living creature according to its kind: cattle and creeping thing and beast of the earth, each according to its kind'; and it was so. And God made the beast of the earth according to its kind, cattle according to its kind, and everything that creeps on the earth according to its kind. And God saw that it was good."]

["Then God said, 'Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.' So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. Then God blessed them, and God said to them, 'Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.'"]

["And God said, 'See, I have given you every herb that yields seed which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit yields seed; to you, it shall be for food. Also, to every beast of the earth, to every bird of the air, and to everything that creeps on the earth, in which there is life, I have given every green herb for food'; and it was so. Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good. So the evening and the morning were the sixth day." — (Genesis 1:24-31)]

[The Seventh Day of Sabbath...]

["Thus the heavens and the earth, and all the host of them, were finished. And on the seventh day, God ended His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done. Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it because in it He rested from all His work which God had created and made." — (Genesis 2:1-3)]

Such are the words spoken in the world's most popular book, a book that, according to its followers and religion, depicts the beginnings of Man and the world. Welp, I'll give it credit where credit is due, some parts are pretty damn accurate. But most of it is bullshit. I didn't make the stars, I merely... repositioned them, you could say.

This project is not mine. This solar system is a testbed for higher-dimensional beings. Creatures of the highest order originating from the 3rd dimension. But, well, due to their rapid advancements, they reached the multi-dimensional level relatively quickly. Only took them around ten billion years. Good on them!

But you don't care about that, do you? You want to know why I called the word of Bible bullshit, don't you? To answer that, allow me to take you back to before the beginnings of this tiny, kind of adorable solar system. Before the sun was born, before the eight planets, and Pluto (hehe), was formed...

|>---->[3rd POV]<----<|

The universe was still very much in its infancy when the first signs of life emerged on very distant, very young and very primitive planets. But very few emerged as a result of their own will and fate, most being "planted" onto their homeworld by a... foreign power, so to say. We, the humans as a species use something called the Kardashev scale, a method of measuring a civilization's level of technological advancement based on the amount of energy it is able to use. It's very basic but still quite useful when gauging ourselves against our fictional stellar neighbours.

Level 1 constitutes to a civilisation capable of using 100% of their natural planetary resources, humans as of today are only at around 0,72. Level 2 is a stellar civilisation that has colonized other planets and made use of their energy too. Level 3 is a galactic civilisation that has populated entire star sectors and can use the power of stars and black holes to fuel their worlds. Level 4 depicts the existence of a universal civilisation capable of harnessing the power of the atom and the matter at large in the whole universe. Level 5 confronts the multiversal theory and proposes the eventual existence of a civilisation capable of travelling and capitalizing on neighbouring universes. Level 6 is a highly theoretical multidimensional civilisation that, through very pragmatic means could enter a state of higher dimension. Finally, the scale ends at Level 7, the so-called "creator civilisation" and the highest magnitude of existence, essentially equal to god.

Level 7 civilisation is essentially a plethora of god-like entities capable of creating life on lower-dimensional worlds than their own. They are theoretically capable of creating the entire universe, given enough energy that is.

But the universe is simply not old enough to allow for the evolution of such powerful and advanced species. However, it does need to be. If you look back and read a little more thoroughly, you'll see a remark on the possible existence of the multiverse. This is a true theory. The multiverse is very much a real concept, nobody and nothing knows when it started or if it will ever end, however, it, by nature, is infinite as new realities and killed at a very fast pace. Time becomes irrelevant at this magnitude, and a long, long time ago, in a reality far long cold and gone now, a civilisation emerged.

They survived the hardships of wars between themselves, eventually taking off towards the stars and beyond to explore and discover strange new worlds and species. They existed for a long few billions of years and evolved rapidly with each century. Until, eventually, the universe started to grow cold and the last of the stars died. When faced with an imminent threat to their existence, their evolution was magnified to unprecedented levels. And, through trial and error, they unlocked the secrets of three-dimensional space and transcended into a higher plane of existence.

There, they saw the infinite stretch of three-dimensional worlds as nothing more than a canvas. A canvas for them to paint on. And so, a species of gods was born. They had tried many times to create a civilisation very much like their own. But, their brush was far too large to properly draw such fine detail on such a limited canvas.

For them to create worlds, they were in a need of a lower-dimensional agent. They could not create worlds on their own, so, they would need somebody else to draw for them instead. Somebody else to create, for this race of gods had nothing better to do. There was nowhere higher to go. Nothing more to strive towards.

And so, it would befall their agent, the offspring of their imaginative ways to deliver them satisfaction.

But their agent would not turn out to be so perfect as to deliver them what they had ordered on the first try. After all, he was very much an imperfect being, unlike his creators. The Creators had crafted an entity so very similar to modern-day humans that visually, they might as well be identical. Two eyes, one head, two arms, two legs, five fingers on each limb and, surprisingly, two hearts instead of one. An immortal creature that has taken on the title and the prestigious job of "The Architect". The creator and the destroyer of worlds and civilisations alike. After all, when one draws a bad picture, they crumple it up and throw it away, do they not...?

The Architect dances with death in a one-sided pirouette, life hangs not in balance but on a threat suspended by the hands of a being, not unlike a god. A cruel and capricious god... But, that is not exactly correct, now is it? The Architect is neither some benevolent nor malignant entity. He is, simply put, just a man doing his job and failing quite miserably.

The humans are not his first project, but, he hopes that they will be his last should the day of judgement come to pass. Reworking the biology and entire ordinance of planets is not a particularly hard job, it's just a very messy and time-consuming one.

And The Creators had left him to make due all alone, how cruel of those Ekon folk... Sigh, he'd rather throw himself into a black hole than spend another millennium looking at a failing civilisation alone.

And so, just like that, The Architect was spurred to create his first and quite possibly the last companion on his long journey through space and time in our universe. Him being a male, it would only make sense that his companion would be a beautiful female. Such was the biological principle as far as he knew it.

The Architect had spent many years in his inter-dimensional ship, it serving as his mobile home and base of operations for many aeons on end. He sat there, he stood there and he pondered and wondered how he would actually go about making his companion. He was lonely, so much was certain. Making a female partner for himself could be a double-edged blade, but it was a much more alluring decision than the other. He wasn't even quite sure his body could produce offspring with a female, but that was a topic for another time.

He had a personal mission to accomplish.

A mission that he dared not to fail...

"...Now how do I go about actually designing you?"
