God is a Game Designer

Taking his time as he exited out of the dungeon. The sunlight was slowly setting on the horizon as it was clear that it was becoming night in a few hours. Nathan took his time to look over to Annie who still slept on the ground. His eyes were rolling as he wanted to push the woman to wake up.

"I best leave it. I don't want to strain our relationship at this point. Annie will know me when she wakes and can fly to me."

He looked up to the Sky as his body flashed with pure white energy. His form was pulled from the ground as he ascended into the air with his power crackling around him in its purest form. Eventually reaching a high altitude as he looked down at the almost deserted town. A few people still escaping at this point.

His body pressing forward as the power of Journeying threw him through the sky. The loud cacophonous explosion of sound echoing throughout the air as he broke throughout the sound barrier.

On the group, many people looked up to the sky as they watched the man blast off and escaped south-east towards the town of Sanctuary. Many children jumping as the parents looked up in shock, awe and slight fear at the man who destroyed the former city.

The large group of exiles from the city all travelling together as a stream had already started to walk a particular path. Nathan able to see everyone walking towards the direction of the first cave he had made. This cave able to sustain people for a short period.

Flying through the clouds as he felt the sun on his skin and the wind across his body as the few whispy small clouds floated past him. His eyes still catching the walls in the distance as he remembered the sea surrounded this entire section of land on the east, west and south sides.

To the north was the remaining landmass which was the entrance and only real walking exit. His eventual plan was to tear down the wall though he would potentially leave the northern wall intact and break down the southern wall before making a port which could connect people.

He had assumed his actions would be less favourable to the empire and cause them to view him with hatred. He still wanted to try speaking to his daughter Saleh to fix things, but otherwise, he was happy to just cut himself off from the empire and would use his power to do so.

An hour passed as he reached his destination. Landing back onto the cliff that overlooked Sanctuary from above. His eyes were looking to the many areas with a smile coming across his face as he was finally home.

"Now that I have Artifice I may build myself a home."

He pulled his bag off as he started to pull out the stones one by one. He wanted to start the ritual before the sun went down and also to finish this as quickly as he could manage so he could spend some time resting.

As Nathan stacked the massive pile of Death Orbs together making sure to stack them carefully. His sigh echoing out as he was alone on the top of this cliff before his hand moved into his jacket to pull out a small gemstone.

The colour is a bright orange that seemed to take the sunlight inside and glow ever so brighter. The beating from the Gem that looked strangely similar to a heart. The energy surrounding it much stronger then the Death orbs sitting in a pile.

Slowly pressing this bright orange soul crystal into the mix of orbs. His energy forced out as he pushed his Artifice and Death energy into the spheres. He felt the will of the crystal heart taking shape as the orbs all became mortal red as they melted down into a blobby mass.

Pushing out his own hands. Nathan stared at the pile with a broad smile to his face as he started to use his Artifice ability to pull the collection into shape, slowly transforming it into the form of a humanoid woman.

His fingers were slowly pulling and pushing in the air as he manipulated the energy as the woman slowly grew in size until she looked roughly like an eighteen-year-old. Long black hair that flowed down her back with pale skin. Two long elven ears that stuck out to both sides

Height being just over 5'4 as she was rather small for someone at this age and race. Almost similar to a massive dwarf than a little elf. Her appearance is stunning as she looked almost like a young star. It showed her divinity with the lack of markings, wrinkles or any form of negative skin at all.

Her clothing also dark as she wore a long flowing black dress that stopped just before the knees to show off her two small feet that seemed perfectly fit for her.

The difference in this version and the one that was underground became clear as the one underground looked older, haggard and more stressed then this one who appeared calm and ready to take on life.

The final touch was the orange heart gemstone that floated above the body, slowly moving down as Nathan finished his work. The Gem was forcing its way into her chest as power flooded through her body.

Collapsing to the ground after he finished. Nathan was letting out pants as she was covered in sweat as he had used up so much of his power during this time. He felt the need to badly rest as he watched his daughter land softly onto the floor with a gentle patter.

"Welcome Back Aelina. I will make this all right for all my children."

His words soft as he heard the gentle footsteps from someone close by. His eyes turning as he was surprised to see Ameria. Her smile soft as well as she nodded to him.

"Congratulations Nathan."
