(Changing POV) *Third person*
In a white spacial dimension, a child-looking horned god was floating in the air while moving blue boxes with unknown characters and letters. Moving and shifting, changing and dispersing, his hands were quick as many boxes left and came. In fact this god was Sulav.
Sulav was using foreign characters and letters not known to any common races, with an incredible speed these blue boxes came and went as his hands tinkered with the characters and letters displayed on the boxes. With the current task he was doing, an unknown person had suddenly appeared out of thin air behind him.
The man watched closely as the youthly god worked at a terrifying speed. In a matter of seconds as he stopped, everything disappeared and Sulav gave a grin that showed his teeth.
"I have finished if thats why you're here, theres nothing else for me to do"
"I see, congradulations, and we thank you for your co-operation" The man wore a white suit.
"Well then, no need to thank me, as long as you do your part, I'll have no worries, but if you break your promise with me, I will take over this operation and your soul as well" The child-looking god gave a scornful look unlike his appearance.
"Please, nor my predecessors nor I would ever think of such a thing, even if it meant the life of one another. We both gain something from this, and with just that we are greatful that you have heard our selfish plea" The man bowed and held a hand on his heart indicating his servility towards the god.
"Very well then, you are dissmissed, and tell your boss that the second phase will initiate soon" Sulav smiled as he turned his back to the man.
In the next second the man dispersed into thin air leaving the god to himself.
"Mortals...Why did I even bother making a deal with them?".
After a few seconds had passed he lowered himself to the ground and held his hand outwards in front of him. Within a mere split second of moving his hand, many screens with different people appeared that were using magic and abilities. These people were the ones he had faced when he had brought them to the blank space he was currently in.
"Seems like most have begun to discover my gift, phase two should begin now... Arvis, stay ignorant no longer, if that mortal really wanted you to have another chance, then this dearly beloved friend should push him to stop being so weak-willed." Sulav was watching Arvis working in a blacksmith's shop, just with one look, he could tell where that place was as he once went there as well.

After staring at other people the unwillful god held his hand out in front of him again, this time a portal appeared. On the other side of the portal one could see a dome-like barrier near the edge of the coast of Dasthiem.
"Well then, its time to create a new world... Hopefully this demonstrates to those damned kingdoms who's calling!" Sulav had a wide devilish smirk upon his face as he walked into the portal.
Within the next moment an extremely powerful blow had shaken and broken the barrier, causing it to fall to pieces like shards of crystals

(changing POV, again) First person: Arvis ( of course)
Right now I was currently helping Gerhest put up some swords for viewing. We placed many swords along the walls as yesterday many people had emptied out the store... Again.
I also forgot to mention that it has been 2 days since I started working here, and its been 3 since I came to this world, suprising isn't it? I made it a priority to work hard, and I've even learned a few things about my stats and how the class system works, but I felt that it wasn't the time to explain.
After we had finished putting up the last swords that were left a man came into the store. It seemed like he knew who Gerhest was, apart from that I figured he was from Faustor. How I could tell was because he had a badge on his cape that represented Faustor, on it a very detailed crest. I knew this because the other night Laj showed me his.
Although the badges were different, they had lots of similarities.
"Jethro, what can I do for you today?" Gerhest immediately called out his name as soon as he saw who he was, however, I could tell by the expression on the face of this "Jethro" guy, something was up.
"Gerhest... I have somethings to say to you" As he said this, Gerhest looked up and Jethro pointed to his badge. Understanding what that meant, Gerhest nodded and later closed the shop to talk in private.
The three of us were the only ones in the room. Jethro asked beforehand if it was okay for me to be there, but with a promise that I wouldn't say anything or even speak about it they let me stay.
"Alright then, I'll start" Saying this, Gerhest nodded at Jethro.
"First of all, I'm here to say that... the barrier closing off the demon continent on the coast following up to Heathfall has been destroyed" Gerhest's eyes widened. I think I know what happened, but this didn't shake me much, I just thought of this as something trivial.

"How!? What happened!?" Gerhest sprang up as he almost lost his shit.
"No one knows how, someone or somthing must have broken the seal, even though it was said that it can't be broken by a normal person, people saw it break with their very eyes" Jethro took a moment to breath.
"The armed forces of the kingdom has begun a protection check to see if anyone here has something to do with it, but as the king knows you personally he asked me to ask you if you could leave your shop to help him in the palace.
Though of course he will have this place protected as he knows how dear this place is to you" Jethro scratched the back of his head awkwardly as he finished his sentence.
"That idiot... all he wants is to have me nearby."
Gerhest knew who the king was? Interesting, I wonder who else he knows?
Jethro stood silent as Gerhest sat back down. Gerhest put his hand on his face, thinking.
"How long would it take to get to Heathfall from here?"
"U-um, I think it would take about 2 da-"
"Thats too long! You know very well about demons and their speed! They will reach this place in just a few hours if they don't stop!" Gerhest has lost his shit.
"It's the kings orders, we can't just go right away, if we did we wouldn't be in formation, thats why he told me to come get you" Jethro had made his point and it quickly lowered Gerhest's anger.
I felt like I had no say in this... so I stood quiet and simply watched them like I was watching a TV drama. If only I had some popcorn.
"Give me till tomorrow, I Still have some things left to do"
Jethro with a serious face nodded, walking over to the door. Ahe opened it he turned his head to speak.
"If anything happens, I'll be at the inn." He left after he spoke, and silence filled the room.
For a short while, the shop had been left in a momentary silence until I broke that.
"So, whats going to happen?" I didn't notice it until afterwards that my voice sounded innocent.
He glanced at me "Well, I think its best you leave this place. I don't know where you can go, so if you're in need just ask me while you still have the chance.
I think that I should give you some things that may help you durring the crisis after we finish cleaning up the shop" He turned his head back at the wall and remained silent.
"But what about you?" Again I egged on with my questions.
"What about me.... I'm not sure what exactly will happen, but today is probably the last day we will ever live the normal life we've always lived. Someone broke the barrier that held back the demons, I'm sure it couldn't be something, but someone, and because of that, everything will end up being destroyed." He got up and slowly walked behind the counter.
"There were many things I still wanted to do with this shop, but that probably won't come till afterwards"
"Afterwards?" I kept on with the questions, I didn't get the main idea, but I figured that demons are far worse then I would expect.
"After the panic, destruction and chaos will consume the continent. The safest place right now is probably Faustor, Servest from Rosevelt, or Rogan." I got up and walked towards the counter to where he was "These three major kingdoms will probably be secure when the information hits the other 2 kingdoms since Faustor is the closest to the demon continent"
"How close are we to the boarder?"
"About 5-6 days from here if you have regular rests and walk every step of the way, and by carriage it takes about 2-3 days, but for demons, its unknown how fast they can get here with their bodies, since its said that a demon is thrice times stronger then your avarage advanturer, some demons stronger than others, but theres a method to killing a demon, and the only ones that know it is Faustons special guard unit and demon hunter adventurers"
How intriguing, I expected this world to take things more lightly rather then have a bunch of shit right out of the plate.
When I had no more questions we had began cleaning and leaving the place. I felt that I had a decision to make since all of this was going to start happening soon, I don't know what to feel about it.
With all the stats I had gained the past 2 days working, I also took it in consideration that I have to figure out my skill, how to use it and all, maybe I'll try doing so tonight.

Many Minded
Synopsis: Issa Pyxis, Spacer orphan and illegal heretic, graduated from living on the streets to running with a gang years ago, but now it looks like that’s all going to change. Her inheritance, more specifically who—or what—she is, is catching up with her, and on a planet with the Emperor’s inquisitors slinking around in every shadow, nowhere is safe and no one can be trusted. What will she do? A cyberpunk story about identity, loneliness, covert infiltration, evil dystopias, and much more! Features: - Cyborgs and cyberpunk galore - This is indented to be somewhat “rational” and “hard” Sci-Fi story - Original Fiction however parts of my worldbuilding are inspired by other Sci-Fi stories (duh) Rationale: The future is cool, AIs are kickass, and questions about consciousness are simultaneously existential and yet unanswered. To me, this story is a vehicle for exploring these topics, and also, I wanted to write a story where the protagonist was unafraid of themselves and where their self is more like a git-repo than a meat computer. Disclaimer: This story primarily takes place in what we’d describe as a “cyberpunk dystopia” with some extra technocracy, autocracy, and religious fervor thrown into the mix, so there will be some “grittiness” in this story. Caveat emptor. Also, [insert your favorite boilerplate “views expressed” disclaimer here]. I shouldn’t need to say this, but the main character and other characters in my story can be wrong on occasion (gasp!) and the way they view the world isn’t always objective truth (if such a thing even exists) nor do their views and opinions necessarily reflect the views of me, the author.
