Creation Online

"... x5 Blank Advanced Racial Templates, x52 Shards".

I nodded at the loot I managed to get from the fight with the Unknown while walking through the still-thick night of the lost world. Well, there wasn't exactly any light. I realized for some reason that the light of Sol sun was unable to permeate into this place.

[QUEST UPDATE]

[Scourge]

The Unknowns, children of the Creator yet also shadows. Born from the coldness of divine embers. A scourge to life, jealousy ever-present. A lack of attention gives rise to depravity.

[QUEST COMPLETED]

It seemed the devs withheld from gifting me anything due to Divine Purity. It made sense since I figured out a few things from the Insight. If they had gifted me Divine Cloak I might have figured out their game instantly and if they gave me something else then it would have thrown me off and with their firsthand rewards, it'd be their fault I lost.

Atleast that's how I saw it.

Mentally I clicked yes.

[REVIEWING REWARDS>>>]

"That's new. " the notification was surprising.

[REWARDS GRANTED]

[Tome - Earthen Grace]

[Weapon - Bane of Heroes]

The first was from intervention while the second came from judgment. I noted how each reward had been beneficial not just to tackle the next quest but in meaning for each quest. Divine Purity for the intervention, Earthen Grace going by its grace pointed to me standing firm in Molliwag's rejection, and finally Bane of Heroes. The weapon appeared in my hand formed from a weave of starlight. A bow of black wood that I instinctively knew was stronger than any mortal metal. The curves and archaic runes etched on it and the string thick and strong.

"A bolt to fell the mighty" I whispered its meaning. 'How did I know its meaning'. I frowned at the frank creepiness of just getting a language dumped in my head. 'Well, I've been getting info dumps so nothing different here'.

[QUEST COMPLETED - REVIEWING REWARDS>>]

I gulped down with expectation. Tome of Insights were already good enough, while I wasn't sure of what made up an insight or its importance, Divine Purity had shown just how powerful an insight could be. Even better or maybe worse it had no grade or ranking just like the weapons.

The rewards for just the chain quest gave one insight and one weapon powerful enough to down mighty foes. Well, I wasn't sure how powerful it would be against us creators but it had to be powerful from its description and the fact it came from a quest involving Molliwag.

Which meant a reward for the entire completion should be good right?

[Morning Sight - Peer into the Void. But be careful lest the abyss stares back.

INNATE]

[Atlas Halo - The brunt of the mortal realm borne by a long-forgotten god. His Halo a reminder.

INNATE]

[Soul Dao - In a world lost to the Void, men aimed for the heavens. Their inspirations weaved into the stars. Their goals are an inspiration to even gods.

INNATE]

[Silvertongue - New worlds born, a hundred spoke. Light shone. For words have might.

ACTIVE]

All the skills were eye catchy but my eyes were stuck on the last not because I was even thinking of choosing it. Maybe. But more because it was referring to us. Creator players.

I smiled sweetly as I thought about how the Devs were already incorporating us into the lore. Shaking my head with a giddy feeling I focused back on the skills. The information for each flowed into my head as usual.

Morning sight was like getting dark vision but even better. I noticed that I could barely look into or past the Void formed by Primordial Chaos. Like a wall of black blocked my line of sight. It was a tempting skill to have.

Atlas Halo was a body augmentation. While I didn't get the full understanding of it there was no arguing it would make me stronger.

"I'm not taking a tank build or berserker-like class. " My head shook deleting it from my mind.

Soul Dao was confusing. It weakly increased my defense against soul damage. If there was a choice for such a skill then it was obvious that there was a way to harm Creator players via soul attacks.

I could grow my strength with gear and though I had no way to increase perception at least I had gotten it already.

The devs of this game were subtle in dishing warnings but now I knew how they played I wasn't about to ignore anything suspicious.

Silvertongue was a good skill, one I realized its potential to offset a will negation. This gave me a big issue.

Mentally I was already haggling between both. A trump card for when enemies negated Will and defense against soul damage. Hmmh.

"For now I can focus on using Divine Cloak. With my divinity shielding my will I can get out of negation of any kind hopefully. Plus there's my speaker title. I doubt it utilizes a divinity" I realized I needed to sit down and do a lot. Figure out my capabilities, complete my universe system to incorporate the form I had made, and fully power my children. Well, the ones who were weak now.

"It's too early for now. I have only one choice and staying alive is better. I can always think of ways to survive only when alive." Decision made I picked.

[INSIGHTS]

[Divine Purity]

???????

The new additions to my mental status filled my head with its intricacies. Shards could be used either to force level up a skill or gain a stat point. The conversion though was huge. Ten lesser shards made one point. 1 greater shard made one point too. They were the very representation of an entity's existence.

Leveling up skills was better as a lesser shard was worth 100 skill exp. Greater was worth 1000 skill exp.

'More things to figure out and experiment on'.

Highlighting on the Tome my eyes shut while the now familiar tickle went to work in my head making the information accessible to me. Once it all made sense I frowned.

Tomes of Insight was unlike spells and magic. No. For us Creators, while we could use it we weren't burdened with them. Our magic was more than the mystical we would create. The Abstract, divinity, nothingness, aether, and chaos. Divine Purity for example worked to create an understanding of the pulls and pushes, the flow of divinity, and the instructions to give to it. Knowing how you wished it to work just like a spell gave you insight into its use.

So divinity working as a god's mana would follow our desire and will which would be making it do as we had learned from the insight granted from the tome.

In a rush, I quickly took the Earthen Grace Tome watching it appear in my palm before the usual prompt showed up before me.

[TOME - Earthen Grace]

[Use Tome]

[Y/N]

The Tome shattered into a thousand pieces of green light, bright and alluring, unlike the sickly green of the Unknown. They disappeared into my palms a shiver rushing through me as I felt a distinct sensation of rocks, sand, stone, and something appealing rolling up my arms. It flowed into my head igniting my blue eyes with a bit of a green lively glow that subsided as quickly as it came.

The insight just like the Divine Purity was astounding. It also supported the theology that I had made. Condensing the knowledge and thoroughly absorbing it in, I felt the know of everything.

Palms raised I watched as a green glow lit up my hands like a bulb. A green bulb. Then a section of the ground shuddered emitting a green glow just like my palm before shooting up into a pillar just as I envisioned in my mind.

"This is understandable as creators" I nodded in support as I made the pillar shrink and rise. Created another pillar. Made it shatter into chunks of stone and dirt. I then levitated it off the ground and around me, twirling in sync with the rocks as I formed a ring. I broke off more rocks then another and formed another ring then another and another till I created 9 rings in symbolism of my universe form.

"Just gonna be tough to upgrade since it mentions nothing about upgrading. I mean is it already at its highest level? " I pondered then shook my head. No ability or skill could ever start high in a game. Even if it had a good rank its level would always need to be increased. It was the allure of games getting better and leveling up.

"Ah. Figuring you out will be a pain eh". I exhaled just as I felt the floor give. My arms flared to the sides as I saw the ground before me disappear.

"Woah."

"My scream thundered through the air as a large black chasm in the ground swallowed me up. My voice faded to the winds as gravity dragged me and the stones I was manipulating down without mercy.
