《Creating a world can't be that difficult, right?》Prologue
Advertisement
Everything started in an instant.
It was as if every single person in the world downloaded a chunk of information directly into their brains.
At that moment everyone knew that God had gifted something to humanity. They knew that, from that day onward, every person will be able to create their world to manage it like a deity. But more importantly, they knew that even if that power was a gift, it was a test too.
It was a test made to decide who would become God's successor. Only those who created the best worlds would be worthy of becoming the next God.
Like that, almost everyone began to create their worlds. It didn't take long before someone began to understand how the world worked and it took even less for someone to realize that you could steal materials and progress from other people.
With that realization came chaos.
Everyone began to fight each other, trying to reap the most benefits possible from each encounter.
In this precarious situation, groups and small organizations began to appear to defend themselves from the outsiders. In a few weeks, most people were part of some kind of organization and only those who didn't care about the God's successor thing or those who have been creating problems for others and were rejected from those groups were left alone.
At that moment, chaos began to become order and in every city, a few big organizations began to rise above others and amass the most of the creators for themselves. At that time the governments of the world couldn't stand indifferent anymore. All the changes that the world has been through were too bizarre, so new laws and regulations began to appear to try to control the situation more effectively.
From that point onwards everything became silent, but conflicts continued forming in the shadows. Battles between organizations were happening every time some rumor spread about a new technique or way to improve the world.

That caused every group and person to become very careful about their information and powers. That became the norm for a few months until an almost unknown youtuber uploaded a video called "10 tips that you must know to start world-building like a pro!". This video became viral in a few hours with millions of views all around the world.
With this, topics like "add-ons", "synergies", "power systems" or "energetic efficiency" became the mainstream in every corner of the internet. Little by little, the organizations became a little more open again, the market for techniques and information began to grow more and more until a great global organization appeared.
This new organization was called "The Creators Guild" or "The guild" as most people referred to it. The guild was a neutral organization supported by most of the world's governments working together with a great number of experts.
The guild's main activities were the organization of the official tournaments, the creation of an online creator's ranking, and the instruction of a great number of experts capable of evaluating and classifying in levels the different add-ons and techniques that creators used.
In just a few months the world changed forever.
Thousands and thousands of creators became professionals and began to compete between themselves as the society found a new entertainment in watching the fights of worlds.
The best creators became as famous as athletes or artists, becoming idols that people admired and respected.
Watching these fights, a lot of people that had abandoned their worlds decided to recover their progress, aiming to become famous like one of those people that they saw on the internet or the TV.
One of these people that was recovering their worlds was going to become a great creator someday…

Nero Zero
Monsters plagued the lands for too long. No matter if one had fangs, beak, teeth, skin, fur, or feather, or was tall, stout, or diminutive, the people suffered. Until the Gadgeteers came with a device that could allow people to fight back. Powered by one's own magical power, feeding off of monster Essence, the Arbitrium bracer turned the tables. It also changed society. Strength of one's level cap was all that mattered. The strongest were Kings and Emperors. The weak or those too poor to afford the marvelous device, destitute. And so it has been for millennia. All that mattered was one's level cap. High, low, a fate decided the moment the strange contraption came alive. Too high and you were a threat to those interested in keeping the status quo, a weed to be nipped before it could grow and take root. Too low and you were nobody, fated to be a bit more than a simple farmer. What if someone, somewhere, came up with a zero for their level cap? Unable to use Essence, unable to level up. On all of recorded history, it never happened. Until it did. In a small village of fur-less and tail-less ape-beastkin, a boy found out he was uniquely handicapped. Nero's level cap was Zero. But he'd never let that stop him from reaching his goals. ------------------------------------------------ All stories have already been told. We merely reuse elements from them. From Joseph Campbell's Monomith to Stephen King's advice, and that encyclopedia of tropes you've visited, fiction has been dissected and reassembled countless times. One will surely find elements inspired on other works here. Just like cooking from basic ingredients, the recipe and presentation is what really matter. This is a fantasy adventure, of someone that goes from a zero to a slightly bigger zero. It will have romance but no harem. Cruelty but with hope dimly shining ahead. Lightweight where it can be, heavy where it must. Thanks for reading. Cover Credits (The cover is CC-BY-NC-SA): Steampunk Spider Bracer, by Daniel Proulx.

The Goddess of Death's Champion
Eliot and Cel start off the same as any other peasant and climb their way to the heavens. At least, that's what a cheesy hook might say, however, Eliot and Cel have always had the attention of the Gods, Eliot longer than Cel but by no God more important. Even if it is their destiny to achieve legend status, they started out some where, and with only the semblance of a head start, not to mention that it makes for an interesting story. (If you decided to read because of a specific tag, some of them only show up later on in the story. I should also mention that romance is a significant focus but there is no romance tag besides the one in genre)

A god's Perspective
Many stories have their hero, an underdog who rises up from nothing to become the greatest. We never see a story where the main character is a god. Many would say it would not be interesting, but give it a chance. You may just find, Once you have been awakened, You shall be awakened for eternity. Please consider donating to help me continue the story, anything you can give will help. If you cannot be bothered to leave a comment and try to help me improve the story, please don't rate my story. Due to lack of monetary support and time constraints, new chapters will be added once a week for the time being. No more and maybe less.
