《Creation: God?》


 I dont like NEET

    "So, what is your wish?"


    There is an angel in front of me. He is big, like a 5 story building tall. And that is when he is sitting. He has a golden book in his left hand, and a golden pen in his right hand.


    "I want a system!"


    That is what a person in front of me said. Yeah, I am dead. Correction, we are all dead and right now we are in heaven. This building I am in is where we ask for our wish. And the angel in front of me is the one who is delegated by God to "reward" us with our wish. Or wishes, plural.


    "Granted." The angel said. After he said that, the golden pen on his right hand suddenly fly towards the book and write something it.


    "Is that all?" The angel ask again.


    The man in front of me shook his head. "That is all cheat that I want. Next, I want to be reincarnated in fantasy world as a son of baron, noble, or someone with powerful position."


    The golden pen continues to write. After some time, the golden book shines. The man in front of me suddenly disappeared.


    "Next."


    ''My turn''. I walk ahead eagerly.


    "You, what is your wish?" The angel ask.


    "Creation. I want creation ability."


    Help support creative writers by finding and reading their stories on the original site.


    The angel raised one eyebrow like The Rock. He slightly hunched over in order to see me closer. It is a simple action of him. But to me, it is a very big thing. Imagine a 5 story building in front you, suddenly move. I was frozen.


    "Human already have a gift to be able to create things." He said. "Are you sure?"


    I shook my head. "I mean, I want to be able to create things and voila, it is there. I want to be able to create without materials needed nor process. I want to just imagine something, and with a snap of finger, what I want become reality."


    The golden pen went away from his right hand to the book in his left hand. As it writes, the angel pondered and ask.


    "You sure you want that? Imagine living for a long time, a life where you don''t have to do anything and everything is delivered to you."


    I was like, ''Huh? What the hell is this guy saying? Isn''t that a really great thing for a hikikomori like me?'' Well, I am not really a hikikomori though. I am a NEET, have been unemployed for a long time, but I still go out and play with family and friends occasionally.


    "Isn''t it a perfect ability? I can have everything I want-" I wanted to reply, but he interrupted me.


    "Yes, but do you think it is manly?" He stare at me. I stop my lips. "I can hear your thoughts. And I know that you have been unemployed for so long, already an adult according to society standard, your friends have been married and have children, yet you only spent time on games and webnovels." The angel shook his head. Then suddenly he had like an ''Aha!'' expression. He nodded his head a few times before continue saying.


    "You can have the ability, but... You can only do it once a day. And No, you cannot wish for creating more wishes with your ability. Or something like that or whatever loopholes you are thinking of. That is final. Be more useful for society."


    The angel waved his hand. I felt great wind upon me. The book in his hand glows golden, and that is all I remember.


    "I don''t like NEET." Mumbled the angel.

    Author note:


    The angel''s motto is "To be useful." He had been working for so long without payment because he want to be useful to his God.

 Where The Hell Am I Isekaid Into?

    The forest.


    There are greens everywhere. There is no path. North, west, south, and east, all directions have vegetation that at minimum, has height above my knees. When I stand, I cannot see any soil ever, even when I look down. Only when I push down the vegetation, grass, and all the plants anyway, can I see the soil. Fortunately, I have a machete, and with it, I can cut vegetation to make a path. The path is necessary, for me not to get lost, or at least so I can see what is on the ground. Surprises can be dangerous when you are walking alone in the forest and on solo survival mode.


    Palm trees, big trees, and groundcovers plants everywhere. It is a green hell. When I was still alive in my previous world, I was longing for forests. Hell, my major is focused on the environment, clean energy, greeneries, and stuffs like that. But now, I just want to go back to my previous city, back in my home, my room, where I can just watch youtube or read web novels and stuffs. Hungry? Food delivery is only a phone away. Here though? It is hell for a NEET like me.


    Swinging the machete, left and right, almost after every step makes my arm sore. I am clearly not used for physical work. I can lift a dumbbell in my bedroom just fine, but here in this green forest? I am uncomfortable, stressed even. My focus is high, never rests, always expecting that there might be snakes beneath some grass or on top of vegetations that are taller than me ready to lounge or drop and bite me. I am scared of snakes. And thinking snakes around here can or are probably poisonous, makes me not want to relax my focus even more. The high focus intensity tires my brain, swinging the machete tires my arm and body. I am sweating, and the wind that moves makes my body really feel the cold, sweaty shirt. Not comforting at all.


    The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.


    I want to go home. I miss my family. I miss my bed and air conditioner. And the internet too, of course.


    I see many palm trees are above my height. The short ones are maybe twice my height. And I am 180 cm tall. Many other trees are very tall. They make me only able to see the sunlight sporadically because the tall trees and their leaves or canopies block the sky.


    When I walk, I must consider the terrain. Right now, the terrain is rising. Yes, I am sort of climbing onto the higher ground. Why? I am not sure. Maybe I just want to go climbing. Maybe I just want to find the sound of the river stream. Maybe I am just following those survival videos from youtube. Or maybe I can just stay where I am, cry, and pray for help. Will there be someone who will help a NEET like me? Unless they are my family, everybody else is unlikely.


    I¡¯m not even sure where I am. Am I back to the world I was living before? Or this is a new world? If so, which one? Fantasy, xianxia, or medieval ones? I don¡¯t know. There are many curse sentences that I want to say out loud. But I need every little bit of luck from anyone, including the luck or help from the angel who sent me here, in this green hell.


    Thinking about it, I can only use my Creation ability once. This machete of mine is what I created. It is a machete that will never dull. I¡­ can¡¯t imagine staying here with a dull machete or no weapon at all. Not only I cannot cut grass or small trees to make a path, but I also might not be able to gather resources in the future that I need. I, a NEET, who never went to any survival training or camp at all, can I survive alone in a rainforest with only my bare hand and wits? On web novels, very likely. But in reality? Me? Hell, I want to piss myself thinking about my future. Only the Creation ability or my cheat is what keeps my sanity intact. It is my hope to survive.
