《The Chronicles of a new Deity》
Chapter 1:My universe is assimilated and I am deified
Our story begins on what seems like an average day in what seems like an average time. Our main character luka is working a job at a pizza place greasing pans. He is incredibly unfit and called fat by some. He does have one redeeming quality though. He wants to make everyone he knows have a better life. He is currently working the pizza job so he can start saving early so his dad can achieve his dream of being rich before he dies of old age. His dad is incredibly poor along with his mother so he knows he has a rough start. He also wants to buy an enormous plot of land so he can give a bunch of homeless people houses and electricity and jobs and stuff. Along with his dreams of donating to places trying to stop issues like diseases and world hunger/thirst. He is going through the repetitive brush motions when the light starts flickering and then shuts down. The power had gone out. He keeps working though because power outages had happened before. He knew it just meant that he would be greasing dirty hot pans for the next 5 hours instead of clean ones. Unlike the normal power outages he is used to though he stops hearing any sound whatsoever. no one was talking in the other room and the sounds of plans clattering had stopped. He looked up before hearing a voice {UNIVERSE ASSIMILATED PLEASE STANDBYE} suddenly the power flickers back on. Our dear main character however was nowhere to be seen.
Luka''s point of view
I was going through my normal pan greasing routine during a power outage when I heard a voice telling me something about a universe. Suddenly a bright light flashed and I fell asleep. When I woke up there was a screen in front of me. {You are your universes chosen deity. As such you are not allowed to remain in your universe until you gain enough belief points. Starter believer and family package has been granted. Please choose those you want to port over to the new universe with you. This includes the deceased who will be de aged back to their prime with all memories intact. You may also choose 3 people to soulmate bond with. They don''t count towards the believer total and will slowly fall in love with you the more you interact. you cannot choose anyone who already has a soulmate. Begin Selection.} I read through it before yelling out "IS THIS A PRANK. WHO IS DOING THIS" eventually I figure out it isn''t a prank and scream a little bit before calming down. Well I might as well choose my family members or whatever. I read through the list and choose the family members I want. I choose my mom and my dad, my two sisters, my cat as animals count apparently, my dog who passed away a little bit ago, and my grandmother and grandpa on my dads side who passed away recently. I also get too choose some friends to bring with me and their family will be ported too. I choose my friend Dominic as he is like my only friend anyway. for my soulmate bonds or whatever I choose three people who come to mind that I have been crushing on for forever. Emily who friend zoned me so I gave up, Cathryn who I didn''t go after because one of my other friends Tim crushed on her too, and Elliot(born female at birth but transgendered himself to male) who I have a standing crush on but haven''t done anything about said crush because he is a guy even if he looks like a girl. I choose them because they are the only people I know I am kind of attracted to. Once I confirm my choices I pass out and wake up on a grassy field with everyone I chose around me. {Congratulations on taking your first step towards godhood. Gaining followers. Now you just need to make them believe you are a god now and can do miracles. GOOD LUCK} they all wake up and I explain to them what''s going on. I told my soulmates i chose them as friends though and left out the soulmate part, for obvious reasons. They are skeptical and i feel the same way. I also have a bunch of new instincts/innate understandings ingrained into me now. like how I can do miracles purely by will or bring up a menu to view my stats and believer menu and a miracle store. I can only do small miracles until I get enough belief points. Which is the quantified belief of all my followers. I have 3 belief points so far. So to prove it to them I make a small rain cloud about 3 inches in diameter. Explaining to them that the more they believe in me the bigger and more powerful types of miracles I can do. Suddenly I gain a massive 100 belief points. Seems they believe me. I seem to have an innate knowledge of everything I can do with said points. I can punch a hole in the dimensional barrier and transfer myself over to earth with 5 million dollars and stay on earth for one hour before being shoved back to this world with everything I want to bring back with me. I explain what i want to do and then punch a hole through the barrier. I awaken in my house. I quickly rush to my moms car and drive to a U-Haul rental place. I steal a U-Haul and get out of there. I go back to my house and take everything from my room and stuff and shove it in the truck before rushing to the store. While there i grab a couple of solar generators and some dvd players and dvds and every fruit and vegetable they have then i raid the meat section and grab a bunch before grabbing a bunch of water bottles. Then I rush over to home depo and grab some plywood and insulation and two by fours and electric tools to build a shelter for the night. Then i rush to mcdonalds and ask for 3 family bundles. I then go and buy a bunch of mattresses before finally my time runs out and me and everything I bought sitting inside of the truck and the truck are slingshot back to the grassy feilds i came from. I say hi to my dad and he helps me make a quick shelter and stuff and setup a couple beds for us to sleep on. Then i go and set up the generators and hook them up to the tv i took from my room and me and the family watch some dvds before eating McDonalds and going to sleep. I then wake up and am told i was asleep for a whole month and that they upgraded the house and stuff.it looks like an actual house now instead a bunch of hastily put up walls and shoddy beds. {LEVEL UP. LEVEL UP. LEVEL UP. 10 MORE NOTIFICATIONS} I look at my menu and see a bunch more notifications before seeing the reason {Congratulations you have provided your followers with everything needed to survive a month. You weren''t expected to do this until level 10 so your level status has been updated to show your current true level. You are level 12. You must pick two major domains and two minor domains. These will be the powers you are best at using. For example, Using a strength domain to enhance your strength will be 5 belief points without the domain it is 50 bp. You can still use other domains. They will just be harder to use.} I look at the list of domains. {SPACE,LOVE,TIME,MIRACLES,FAMILY,MAGIC,MONEY,THUNDER,WATER,DEAD} I see only a couple I feel the need to get. For my major domains I choose. Space because dimensional shenanigans like supply runs to earth. Miracles because I need to preform miracles to grow in power and it seems like a jack of all trades. For my minor domains I choose. Time because it sounds powerful and might allow me to make the hour I spent on earth a couple days. Money because it will allow me to have a bunch of currency wherever I go in any dimension and I need that. {DOMAINS GRANTED. You will now receive prayers that people pray for that correlate to your domains. if someone prays for space to become shorter you will be the one who gets the prayer. If someone prays for a miracle you will be the one who gets the prayer. etcetera. You need to do your best to answer these prayers as they are a great way to gain new followers.} Suddenly i gain i headache as some ones voice seems to enter the back of my head.

"I¡¯m not fine, I¡¯m not fine. I can¡¯t move the mountains. I can¡¯t make the flowers bloom. I can¡¯t take another night up in my room. Waiting on a miracle. I can¡¯t heal what¡¯s broken. Can¡¯t control the morning rain or a hurricane. Can¡¯t keep down the unspoken invisible pain. Always waiting on a miracle, a miracle. All I need is a change. All I need is a chance. All I know is I can¡¯t stay on the side. I would move the mountains. Make new trees and flowers grow. Someone please just let me know: where do I go? I am waiting on a miracle, a miracle. Who I am inside, so what can I do? I¡¯m sick of waiting on a miracle, so here I go. Bless me now as you blessed us all those years ago. When you gave us a miracle... ¡Am I too late for a miracle?"
Prayer from Mirabel Madrigal.
Chapter 2: Prayers are answered.
My current goal is to help out Mirabel. Actually I watched a movie called Encanto with her in it. It was an incredibly emotional movie. Although i forget what the movie was about general idea was to be yourself or whatever. I''m assuming that our earth looked into other worlds and wrote them down as stories or something because otherwise the universe doesn''t make sense. Anyway step one for achieving my plan is convincing my family to let me go and then open up a door through space to wherever they are. Then I try to assimilate them as followers by telling them I''m the god of miracles, space, and time and their candle is made out of my domain. I go up to my dad "Hey dad family meeting or whatever in 5 gather everyone and meet at the dining room" i say before he replies with "Ok bud" and then I go on my merry way. Then when everyone meets up i explain "So you know how i am a god now." "Yeeeesssss" they all say still kinda weirded out that I''m a god. "Well i just got my domains. A domain is essentially the laws of the universe I''m in charge of, Zeus had the sky domain, Poseidon had the sea domain, I have the domains of Space and miracles and the minor domains of time and money." "ok why are you telling us this." my little sister says before i reply with "well one of the duties a god has is to receive and answer prayers. I have just gotten my first prayer and wish to go grant it to her. It will be a slightly long journey and i will go by myself." "Ok bud we understand." my dad says before everyone agrees and leaves the room. I draw on10 belief points to open a door through space. I should go through a short tunnel and end up walking out of a door in casa madrigal. I walk through and stumble into a sort of bright and shiny outdoor eating area. I quickly hide in some bushes using 3 belief points to stop any miracle type gifts from noticing my presence. I see Mirabel rush off after her sister Lu¨ªsa who seems to have a miracle of strength. I follow after them and then eventually just wait until i detect her leaving the room of someone with a miracle of future sight. I Knock on the door and an old women comes up and asks me what i want in a sort of nice way that seems irritated underneath though. I ask her "Does someone by the name Mirabel Madrigal live here. I''m Luka god of Miracles, Space, and minor time. I''m here to deliver a miracle."

Chapter 3:A resurrection and powerful candle
After telling the old woman about my godhood and stuff she looks at me like I''m insane. Which I guess Is understandable. I would have thought someone was insane too if they nocked on my door and said they were a god. I however am one and will find out how to prove it. "I''m sorry but you are going to have to leave" she says before I say "wait I can prove it" then she looks at me disbelievingly before saying "Go on then, one chance" I guess I have to figure out how to prove it then. Maybe I can deactivate all their gifts for a little. No that might make them dislike me. They all have miracles already so they will just assume I have just gotten a miracle if I do a miracle. This is troubling. I know ill ask them what they think only a god can do. "You all have gifts so if I do a miracle you''ll just assume its a gift. What can I do to prove I''m a god. What is something you think only a god will do. Just say and ill do it." i ask them. She replies with "Bring back the dead." before I check the points I need for that. 1 million points are you insane menu. wait a second. What if I use my domain of time to bring them into the future just before they died and bring them here. Yes that could work. Only 100 points. "Any preferences on who you want me to bring back" I ask before she responds and asks for her husband who died a while back. His soul is fueling that miracle candle thing giving them their gifts though. I can sense that easily. So if I bring him back I will eventually have to put him back so he can die to fuel the candle. "Ok but I''m new to godhood and don''t exactly have the capability to bring him back permanently. I can give you an hour." she is fine with that so I bring him back on a timer that will send him back in an hour. She then faints as soon as he appears. Well that sucks. I inform him that he died so I brought him back for an hour before he will be sent back and die again. He understands and wishes he had more time before I use 0.5 belief point to wake the old lady up. Then she lets me inside and calls a family meeting. she tells me to site down at the table so I do so. Then in walks the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. My heart literally skips a beat. {SOULMATE DETECTED. Dolores Madrigal, Since a little girl she was in love with music, On the day of her gift ceremony her love of sound should have given her the gift of soundwaves; but as the miracle was already too corrupted she got enhanced hearing. It was foretold that the love of her life would marry another by one with the miracle of future sight. Her soulmate bond was transferred from him to you when you arrived in this world though so that knowledge is irrelevant.} I focus on candle corruption and get more info. {CANDLE CORRUPTION: This is only possible because of the way a persons personality affects the candle. The candle gains a little bit of the personality everyone with a gift has and uses said personality to fuel the miracle. The Reason the candle was corrupted was because of Alma Madrigal. She made everyone around her so stressed that they covered up their true personality in order to make her proud. Thus corrupting the personality and love that the candle was getting. The candle would have went out years ago. Instead it used the fuel it would of used to give Mirabel Madrigal a miracle on itself to give itself a miracle. It is a miracle that the candle is still running. The miracle was fueled by the miracle it would have given Mirabel Madrigal. CANDLE CORRUPTION CAN BE CLEANSED FOR 5,000 BELIEF POINTS} I don''t have enough belief points for that yet. I can however give it enough fuel so it doesn''t need any more personality. This will stop it from corrupting any more than it already is. I identify the candle through the doorway as I can just barely see it. { [Corrupted] CANDLE OF MIRACLES: A candle that is anchoring an incredibly powerful miracle. This candle was the wedding candle of Alma Madrigal before being converted to a candle of miracles. It holds immense power over the domain of miracles and gains more power the more people it blesses. It is using the soul of Pedro Madrigal to anchor the domain of miracles to itself. If it is cleansed of its corruption then it will obtain unrestricted access to the domain of miracles. Effectively becoming a DIVINE ARTIFACT. A divine artifact is a Weapon of power that a Deity hasn''t claimed. It can be used as a Crafting material for a more powerful Weapon of Power or it can be used by itself. You need to be level 100 to claim a divine artifact. You may only claim one weapon of power.} {Collect as crafting material? Y/n} I select no. I will collect it later when I am finished with my business here. I cannot help but keep glancing at Dolores. She is beautiful. Anyway eventually everyone is in the kitchen except the one I keep sensing in the walls. The old lady named alma says "Thank you all for coming. First things first. We have a special guest today. His name is luka and he is the god of space, miracles, and time. Now I didn''t believe him at first either but then he did something only a god can do. He brought back Pedro from the dead. luka says he is new to godhood so Pedro will only be around for an hour before he dies again. So you guys can talk to him for a little before he has to go." They all talk to him and say their goodbyes and everything before he is sent back and everyone is finished eating. Alma tells Mirabel to stay back while everyone else leaves. She tells Mirabel "Luka came here for you and would like to talk to you now. I will be just outside." She leaves before I tell Mirabel "Hey, Sorry I''m late" and then motion for her to sit down. "I heard your prayer Mirabel" I say before she asks "What prayer" and I reply with "Last night I received a prayer from you through my domain of miracles" then she says "I didn''t pray to you." then I say "maybe not intentionally but you did, I believe the exact words were. ''Someone please just let me know: where do I go? I am waiting on a miracle. Bless me now as you blessed us all those years ago. ¡Am I too late for a miracle?'' those were the key points anyway" wow she is blushing, its kinda cute actually. "I''m sorry sir I didn''t mean to pray to you. I was just a little emotional." she says before I say "number one, don''t be sorry, Number two, don''t call me sir, and number three, I could see you were emotional I almost cried listening to the despair in those last couple words" and then go on to say "anyways I''m sorry for not getting here las night I was kind of busy, My name is luka I am the god of space, miracles, and time and will you be my friend" haha the look on her face when I asked that. HAHA I''m about to fall over. "close your mouth you''ll catch flies"-me "Uhh sure luka we can be friends"-Mirabel "YAY"-me. "Also you aren''t too late for a miracle I just need to figure out what kind of miracle to give you, Any ideas?"-me "Wait seriously, Your really going to give me a Gift"-Mirabel while crying of happiness "Yes i just need to figure out what to give you"-me.

Chapter 4: A new gift and a living house.
I''ve given a little thought to the gift I want to give Mirabel and have come up with a few options i could go with. Number one: Time control. Like she could slow down time in a specific area or speed it up or something. This doesn''t seem to match up with her personality though. Number two: space manipulation. Like she could open up portals two other places or expand the size of a room on the inside while leaving the outside the same. This isn''t quite right either. I''ve also though about mind enhancement and it could suit her personality but doesn''t seem quite right. She herself has suggested gifts the rest of the family already has but that would be unoriginal and i cannot bring myself to rip off someone else''s miracle. I have a couple other options which could kind of suit her. Super speed. She could have a permanent time enhancement so her body is sped up in time and it seems to her like everyone else is moving in super slow motion while to us she is just moving super fast. This has several drawbacks. I would need to create a whole new law of physics just to compensate. Like the speedforce the flash has basically because otherwise light would take too long to hit her eyes and she would be kind of blind. Another option is possible. I can give her more than one gift. No rule states that you can only have one miracle. However i was saving such things for my priests and will only allow such a thing if she agrees to swear upon an unbreakable oath to be one of my priests and do her best to spread the word of my existence and what I want her to tell people. I inform her of her options and then give her time to think about it. telling her to meet me in a week. then I put up a no spying miracle barrier. Basically it stops certain people with a miracle of enhanced hearing(Dolores) from hearing what is said." There is one more thing I would like to speak to you about." I say to Mirabel before continuing "Now this might seem strange, but I want your help to get a date with your cousin" now is it really surprising. Dolores is just so beautiful. I cant help but want to get to know her more. Plus she is technically my soulmate now so I might as well get to know her. "Seriously?"-Mirabel "Yes"-me "Sure"-Mirabel looking at me like I''m stupid. So then a week passes without much happening. They didn''t have a guest room so i had to use 60 miracle points to create another tiny house to add on to it. I did discover something incredibly cool though. Their house is alive. Like as in. THE ENTIRE HOUSE. and it could somehow control decorations attached to it which lead me to believe it could control everything attached to it. Which lead me to inspect it and {Casita De Los Milagros: The House of Miracles otherwise known as Casita De Los Milagros is a small Spanish style house imbued with way way way too much life energy. Like to the point of it gaining its own sentience and becoming smarter than most people. It has one foot literally in the domain of life. Allowing it to control anything attached to it by integrating it with its own life signature. it can move however it wants not caring about the laws of physics entirely. Thus if it was asked to it could fly. It only allows those it believes to be truly caring and part of its family to interact with it though and has obtained its own soul. It can be crafted into a DOMAIN AREA. A domain area is a place of increased power for a god or goddess. A place upon which they have 30 times the connection to their domain as they normally would. For Poseidon it was ATLANTIS. For Zeus it was OLYMPUS. For Hades it was GREEK UNDERWORLD. For god it was HEAVEN.} if I connected this to a spaceship oh sonny boy I would be in business. I need to obtain its trust and claim it as my domain area first though. I can first obtain an area domain at level 95 so it will be a while. I''m level 50 right now. I currently have 1,500 belief points and gain 20 every second with my current amount of believers. I get an added 3 points pers second for every believer that believes in me. Unless the believe in me more upon which it slightly varies. From 3 points to 10 are the points per second I can get per believer. Anyway back to business. I just met up with Mirabel to get her decision before i will finally try to ask Dolores on a date. Mirabel says "I want to...¡."
