Chapter 5: Skill Creation

It went smoother than I thought. Darkness surrounded me again, but this time it wasn’t alone. Colors floated around me, like mists of energy intertwined. I didn't know their names, but they were beautiful compared to the darkness before.

Now that I’m the universe, it doesn’t matter if I can see like a human. I feel every movement and control every creature. Sight seems almost unnecessary.

I turned my attention to skills. There are many useful ones. One stood out: Incarnation Descent. But for that, I needed a body.

“Use Major Skill: Creation to create Minor Skill: Blessed Body.”

“Ding! Autumn Hall has created the Minor Skill: Blessed Body.”

A body appeared before me. Until now, I only had the universe as my body. This Blessed Body would be the strongest living being, next to my main body, of course. I needed a clone skill to create copies with some of its power. That way, I could have fights with future strong beings.

“Use Major Skill: Creation to create Minor Skill: Clone.”

“Ding! Autumn Hall has created the Minor Skill: Clone.”

Next, I considered an Enchant skill for weapons and clothing.

“Use Major Skill: Creation to create Minor Skill: Enchant.”

“Ding! Autumn Hall has created the Minor Skill: Enchant.”

The Blessed Body existed now, but it had no soul. A possession skill could be useful.

“Use Major Skill: Creation to create Minor Skill: Possess.”

“Ding! Autumn Hall has created the Minor Skill: Possess.”

I had many skills, but I’d discover their usefulness over time. The Blessed Body, being indestructible, would regenerate if destroyed. Time to possess it with my consciousness.

“Use Minor Skill: Possess to possess the Blessed Body.”

I felt my mind move into the Blessed Body’s head. Moving my limbs felt amazing. It was wonderful to have a body again, even though it had only been 10-15 minutes since I existed as a blob. For the universe, that’s 15,000 years.

My vision remained the same, which was good. The body had no gender. No problem—I could create a skill for that.

“Use Major Skill: Creation to create Minor Skill: Modify.”

“Ding! Autumn Hall has created the Minor Skill: Modify.”

I didn't have to do much.

“Use Minor Skill: Modify to change my body into that of a woman.”

Instantly, the Blessed Body changed shape. It felt like when I expanded as the universe. Nice.

I felt my body, noticing the richer curves. But I had no clothing. Being seen without clothing would be embarrassing, even though I’m the universe.

“Use Major Skill: Creation to create a set of robes.”

A set of robes appeared on my Blessed Body. I imagined white robes, a color I somewhat knew.

“Use Minor Skill: Enchant to buff the defense of these robes to the maximum.”

Energies from space flew towards me and were absorbed by the robes. A minute later, the energies stopped. The Blessed Body’s defense was already high, but it’s good to be careful. Maybe I’m overprotective, but I want to be prepared for the day someone strong arrives.

I looked down. I could see the outline of my body and robes, thanks to the absorbed energies. Still, it was frustrating not knowing their colors.
