《Greater than the God's》 Ark 1 "Sch?pfung": PROLOGUE Earth 21.397 a.d. / 1 p.r.n: ¡°Ladies and Gentlemen, today is the day mankind will destroy the chain with whom god bound us at this place, in this universe. It is the day on which us, the humans, will shed our non-eternal robe and will step at a new tier in our evolutionary path to rival the gods and the heavens. It is the day we will fulfill the wish of our ancestors. We will know what was in the beginning. We will know what the meaning of life is. We will know why things happen like they happen. We will change the entries in the book of life. We will be the individuals, who are going to create life. We will be the beings, who rule about the life. We will be the first generation, the heavens have to bow and kowtow to. Ladies and Gentlemen today is the day on which a new aeon will begin, the aeon in which humankind will free itself from the chains of the God''s. This year will be known as post res novae, the year after the overthrow of the system of the God''s." On this day the Aeternus Capitulum Group showed the public for the first time their world changing invention of the "Nanotechnologischer Allzwecks- und Kampfanzug" or shortly translated "nanosuit" or "nanogear". It could be used for nearly everything you can think of. At first it was kept back from non-military usages, but later on it got declassified and usable for other civil organizations. It had a nearly unimaginable impact on the wage of war. You didn''t need armies anymore. With but a single thought a sole person could destroy a city, a planet, a galaxy or a hole universe. Because of that all big nations from earth and the interplanetary confederation, composed of all human powers in the existing universe, signed a contract, which prohibited the usage of nanogears for war. Despite this controversial issue, it also found approval by civil organizations like the fire department. With this gear they didn''t had problems like being to late at the operating place or don''t having the needed tool anymore. But it was not only the fire department, which profited, but also the police, organizations, which rescued people from all kind of situations like war, burning woods, ... Later on it was also purchasable for normal companies and scientific institutions. Thereby it came to a huge economic growth, which in turn helped to build new scientific faculties and so on. Earth 100 p.r.n.: In the past 100 years many things happened. Scientist discovered the end of the universe and what after it is. They figured out what the universe is made of and what happens, when you would go "through" a black hole. But this weren''t important thing''s. The really big breakthroughs were things like traveling faster than light, a way to create wormholes and last but not least a way to create new dimensions ... Yes new dimensions. The Russian scientists Nikolai Skobovic only discovered it by accident. You don''t need that much to create a new one, only energy, a lot of energy. It was an really unimaginable amount of energy you need to create one of these dimension. It''s comparable to an empty ocean you have to fill with water. You think that doesn''t sound like a big problem, because we have the year 100 p.r.v? You are completely wrong, because you have to fill that ocean with drops of water and every drop represents the yearly amount of produced energy. Despite this obstacle nearly all scientists helped researching this topic and after a short time the first Android was sent to research the possibilities and the safety of it. This narrative has been purloined without the author''s approval. Report any appearances on Amazon. Research Report beta4V1C1f.1 Earth 245 p.r.n.: It was for the first time possible to create something like the "big bang" in a 10^9 lightyear big dimension. The android could also create simple life like bacterias. Signal was served after 29 days of communication without problems. Research Report beta12V4C5a.9 Earth 313 p.r.n.: Android 36 could control the flow of time with a maximum of standard x100 and a minimum of standard x 0.0625. Test subject could alter its appearance, but not its sex. Possibility of changing the laws of the physic will be examined. Military Report 35 (Top Secret) I.C. ( short for interplanetary confederation) Earth 486 p.r.n.: All excluded test are positive: Test subject could create antimatter factory with but a thought. Positiv. Testsubject could clone itself multiple times. Positive. Testsubject could create its own physical laws. Positive. Testsubject could use instant teleportation. Positive. "Almighty-Project" is completely positive. Testsubject knew everywhere and every time everything going on in its own dimension. Suggesting "disposal" of the testsubject. Earth 527 p.r.n.: This year no one will and can ever forget. It was the year the public was allowed to buy their on dimension. After many years of intensive research and military tests the interplanetary confederation gave their okay for the civil usage. The possibilities in your own dimension are infinite. You want to play God, you can play God. You want an anime universe, you can get one. You want create life and than crown yourself or you want a neko harem? No problem. There was only one big problem. Once you get in you own dimension you can never come back. But enough from these theoretical thing, let''s switch to our "hero" or maybe "villain" in this story... Universe: contains many different galaxies, stars and planets Dimension: can (!) contain many different universes ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Puhh, hope you guys like the prologue, took me nearly 4 hour''s, but I think it was worth it. If you find any mistakes or disliked something about my grammar/writing style ... simple mention it in the comments. I''m trying to solve the problem if possible then. :) CHAPTER I: In the beginning was nothing. Mars 820 p.r.n: A normal day in Skobovic-City. As normal as it could be in the third district, also named as "trash district" by the rich and noble people from the first district. The third district covers approximately 80% of the complete city and has nearly 300.000.000 inhabitants. With 9% of the complete area and 20.000.000 inhabitants follows the second district, where people with "normal" jobs like lawyer, baker and so on. And last but not least the first district for the "rich" and "noble" people, which covers the last 1% of the entire city and has only 10.000 inhabitants. Particularly are the 2 big families which resident there. The Skobovic family with its patent of alpha devices (these are the things you need to open your own dimension) and the Bluefire family with its monopoly of all mines on mars. So what''s different between the three sectors? It''s quite simple: 3rd District: no money, no police, here lives the "trash", many people, but only a little area. 2nd District: have money, have park''s, have police, it''s clean. 1st District: have too much money, very high security, huge park''s and mansions and no "commoners" and "peasants" are allowed. *Ring,Ring* *Ring,Ring* *Ring,Ring* *klatsch* "Stupid buzzer. Shit it''s already 9 o''clock, coming to late to work" After seeing the time, I''m quickly dressing myself with a red eroded shirt from ''bionic'' with no imprint to this a old jeans, with many holes and white tennis socks. I think I must look like one of these cool kids in ancient times. I really like that time, especially their way of life and those anime and wuxia and xianxia novels. But now it''s time to go to work. I''m currently working in one of the big mines. It''s hard but better than nothing. It also gets paid quite good for a 3rd district job. "Hey, Simon" "What''s up Adrian. How''s your wife and your child" This is Adrian, one of my colleagues. I know him for nearly 5 years. He''s a really good guy, but has problems to speak with other people. But when you broke the ice between him and yourself, he''s one of the nicest person you can get to know. He is one of those friends who would never betray you even when they would face death. "Annabel is lovely like always. She also tried one of the recipes you gave us and it was really good. And little Jon, I think you know how he is like. Always friendly and overexcited." Said he and chuckled. "Ah, Simon did you hear from this lottery where you can win your own dimension?" "You mean the one with a winning chance of 1:1.000.000.000? Yes, I heard it but it''s really expensive, so I ignored it" I really wanted my own dimension, but the lottery ticket is so expensive. It costs 1500MS, which means nearly 6 of my salaries. So no lottery ticket for me. "My wife and me really want to thank you for everything you have done for us. So we saved a bit money and purchased one of those tickets for you." He laughed and looked at me. "You can''t do that. I know how much you need this money." I looked worried at him. "Don''t worry. That much, my wife found currently a new job as sailors, so it has not that much of an impact at our family" He said while chuckling. "Then I won''t deny your offer" I laughed and thought about, how lucky I am to have a friend like him. At the evening I went to him and ate with Annabel and little Jon. Nothing special happend there, we only talked about his family, the new job of his wife and how she likes her colleagues. Before I went home they gave me the lottery ticket and thanked me again for what I have done for them. When think about it, you could say, that they gave me a chance of a new life with this ticket. It''s only a little chance but yet still a chance. I think the thought itself is important, not the gift. I really hope I''ll win this lottery, because I have nothing what holds me at this trashy place. My parents passed away for 20 years now, because they overworked themself in one of the mines. I''m currently 45 and have neither a wife nor any children or brother''s and sisters. The only persons I would count as family are Adrian with his wife Annabel and little Jon. But they gave me this opportunity of a new life, so I wouldn''t feel that bad if I won the prize. But now it''s time for bed, I have to work tomorrow and also go to the lottery. The next morning. It was a rainy day and we had a temperature of 13¡ãC. Not a good omen, when I think about it. But who cares if I win, I''ll win, if I lose, I''ll lose. The work at the mine was like always, nothing particular happend. Adrian was enthusiastic like always and asked me, whether I''m looking forward to the lottery or not. Of course I didn''t deny, that I''m happy. At the evening the time was come for the lottery, with sweaty palms I waited for the winning number. I myself had 25f0183cl. At 9 o''clock they finally announced the number, which will win. "... and now to the 36th interplanetary lottery. The winning number is 25f0183gl. Congratulations Mister Robert White for winning your own dimension!" *Hach* I sighed. I really wanted to win this dimension. It was only one letter. Only one! I really feel like whining now. How can a person like me, who''s always friendly to everyone, can have such a bad luck. I really want to curse god now. "... just a moment Ladies and gentlemen ... *mumur in the background* ... we got a message that Mister White cheated and is now disqualified. Because of that the last two letters will randomly be changed" I looked up ... is this a chance? Has god heard my prayers? I nearly hyperventilated. Will my dream become true? "... and the new winner is ... Mister Simon Bor from Skobovic-City. Congratulations! You can get you win at the market selling lottery tickets. But now to the weather..." I couldn''t believe it. Did I hear it wrong right now? Maybe I have hallucinations? Now this has to be true. I know that my ears aren''t that bad and hallucinations? I never had them before. This means ... I won, I really won. You can''t imagine how lucky I''m currently, you really can''t imagine it. In this night I couldn''t sleep. I thought about all these things I wanted to do in my own dimension. I want to create a world similar to those in ancient chinese xanxia and wuxial novels, where the strongest people govern the world the like sovereigns in this "Coiling Dragon"-novel. Furthermore there has to be different realms and martial arts, summoning arts, beast taming arts et cetera. I want to create a world, which never gets boring, where I can be a hero or a villain, where I can find friends or the true love, where I can have a hated enemy. There is so much I want to do, I can''t wait anymore. At 4 o''clock at morning I finally fell asleep. The next morning. I woke up, dressed myself as quickly as possible drunk and ate something and went then to the next market selling those lottery tickets. There were no problems at getting the prize. I could open my own dimension at the capital at the next day if I wanted to. And I wanted. But before I went on my journey, I visited Adrian and his family for one last time and gifted them my old apartment and the other things like money, the tv et cetera, because I won''t need then in the future anymore. The farewell was quite emotional. Annabel and little Jon cried, whereby the latter one hold me on my sleeves and didn''t want to let go. Even I shed one or two tears, because this family grew on me over the past years. After a few minutes everyone was ready for the goodbye and so I reluctantly left and made my way to the capital. The train arrived after a day and I was absolutely astonished about how clean and big the city is. If I thought back at the city I spent my hole life in, It would be like comparing a apple and pear. The streets were crowded and as far as you could see were lively person. No beggars, no prostitutes and no robbers, the capital really lives up to its name. But that isn''t important know, have to search for the Aeternus Capitulum Group. You shouldn''t could oversee it here, it''s normally in the middle of the city and mostly a rather overbearing building. And there it is. Like I thought, it really has its own style. It''s in a 21th century "modern" skyscraper look, with much glass and less steel. I think it''s nearly 1,5 km high and has a area as big as two soccer fields. It''s painted in a anthracite silver mix letting it glitter and reflect the sun. But enough of that, let''s get my own dimension! If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it. "Hello Mister, how can I help you" greeted my a secretary with a fake smile." ?hem, ?h..." the building was really more astonishing in the inside than at the outside. You could see gold, silver, platin and many more of those metal everywhere. And wow, is that ivory, I thought elephants don''t exists anymore since 3400 years ago. But I have to cool down now, I''m here for my prize, not to do a sightseeing tour. "I, I''m here for my prize. I won the dimension." I felt quite uncomfortable now, because the secretary looked at me with a annoyed look, but who can blame him for that, I would have felt annoyed too. "Oh, so you''re Mr. Bor." He looked slightly surprised now "could I see you passport please?" "O,Ok" I gave him my passport and was startled at how fast a aptitude of a human can change. "There''s no problem with your identity. Please follow me, I will bring you to a instructor, who will explain you what to do." Half a hour later I finally got to see Mr. Stark, my personal instructor. He looked like one of those military veteran or a least how you think one would look like. A body like a mountain, arm''s as big as the body of an anaconda, hair with a colour of a blizzard and eye''s as sharp as the claw''s of a lion. I slightly trembled as I looked him in the eyes. "So you''re the one, who the main prize?" He looked at me with a penetrating look at me and I could swear I saw a smile on his lips. "Y,Yes M,Mister" I stuttered for a moment, but got myself after a pair if seconds. "I think I know how you thought it would be like to get your own dimension. You come here, ask for your dimension, go in a high technological labour where a person, who opens the rift for you and that was it?" "Y,Yes. Is it not like this?" I asked astonished and had a bad premonition. "It''s absolutely not like that. I''m going to explain for you now, so listen I won''t repeat it. At the beginning you will get your nanogear. After you have to familiarize yourself with it, because you could destroy your own dimension with but a thought after all. And don''t even try to overtake or destroy our planet and universe, you won''t have the time for it. Before you can do it, you''ll be nothing but dust. But now to the next point. Afterwards you have a theoretical lesson about how the the suit works and how your dimension will work. Then you we''ll get to main part and open up the rift. For now we talked enough, it''s time to go to work, follow me." I was quite baffled about how difficult the whole procedure is, but followed Mr.Stark silently. "And here we are, please undress yourself and lay down at this couch." The room was like every other medical room, sterile and white with a fluorescent tube. After Mr. Stark left the room I undressed myself and laid down. The machine beeped and retracted me in the inside. After that a arm put me on a respiratory mask and I got in something looking like a waterjelly like liquid. The jelly began to vibrate and got hotter and hotter. I tried to scream, because it felt like I was baked alive but not sound wanted to come out. It''s hot, so hot. Please let it be over god, please let it be over. Please,Please, PLEASE... "Huh, looks like he got unconscious and I thought he would be one of those we get through it without any problems" Mr. Stark laughed loudly. 2 hour''s later. This pain, where does it come from? It hurts so much. Why can''t I open my eye''s? Why does my body feels so heavy and what''s with my skin why does it feels so rough? 4 hour''s later. Finally I could open my eye''s and everything looked and felt so ... different. When I looked at the neon I could tell from which elements it''s made from. I could tell the complete history of it. What happend to it, what will happend to it. I could see, and hear everything from the millions of years of history of the quicksilver in the fluorescent tube. So many information, my head hurts. "You shouldn''t do this in our universe, when you don''t want you brain exploding" Mr.Stark came in and laughed. "W,What is t,this? Why can I feel the history of everything around me and why does my head hurt?" I asked astonished. "Oh, that''s only one of many new abilities you got. And you head hurts, because we suppressed the usage of the nanogear in this universe. But don''t be afraid in your dimension it won''t cause any problems, it will also be more powerful than, but later more. For now you have to familiarize yourself with the nanogear. I have a piece of plasticine here, try not to model it, when you lift it up. When you finished it simply push the button and I will come." Sounds easy, I thought. But it came like it had to. After two hour''s I still didn''t accomplished it. How can it be that difficult? 8 hour''s later I finally managed to lift that plasticine up without modelling it. I pushed the red button and Mr. Stark came after 10min. "So, you finally managed it? Good, to the next part now. I will explain to how your nanosuit will work in you dimension. It''s actually quite simple, you only have to imagine the thing you want to create or happen. You could even alter your sex or appearance. The only handicap is that you have to imagine it. Sounds funny, heh? You only have to imagine it, it''s so simple. But that''s the biggest handicap. You probably ask yourself If you heard wrong? But let me explain. Imagine you want to create a planet, what do have to imagine? Should there be any life, if yes, how should it look like, which abilities should it have? What is with the seas and the mountains? What''s with the ecosystem and the minerals... As you see you have to imagine every millimetre of the planet, which will take millennia or even longer. And that''s not the only planet there a billion more in one galaxy and many million more galaxies in one universe and a dimension has not only one universe. But don''t be afraid, you are immortal in your own galaxy if you want to. It''s not as easy as it looks like, but therefor you have plenty if time." I was overwhelmed, how could I take that much time. I don''t want to form my universe for quadrillions of years, but I''m sure I''ll find a way to bypass this. "But now it''s time to open up your dimension, follow me" finally,finally I get it. How I yearned for it. "And here we are, please wait in front of that portal" It looked like one of those stargates, the only difference was that it is completely black and in a more modern style. *rums* *crackle, crackle" I looked at the rift, it was pitch black and with many little lightnings dancing in it. "I wish you a nice journey Mr. Bor." He shouted and smiled and I? I didn''t want to wait any longer and took the first opportunity to jump into the portal. I went through and everything was black. I heard how the rift closed itself. "What to do first?" I thought... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Needed quite a bit of time for this chapter, hope you guys like it :)
