I.. Am God?-Chapter 2 Life
"Because of the Tree of Life, you have unlocked your first race in this world; Elves." Shyra interrupted Matthias' admiration for what was happening around him.
"What? Elves?" Matthias was dumbstruck. As soon as he said that, Shyra pointed at the roots of the tree.
Matthias looked at where she was pointing, and there, a huge seed or egg was hatching.
What came out was a tall man with pointy ears and a green cloak as if it was born with him. His handsomeness was to the point that the girls would want to worship him.
Next to him, another seed opened, and a woman as beautiful as the man appeared. Together with them, seeds of all different sizes appeared in the middle of the continent, hatching and giving birth to elves.
With the speed-up function, the perimeters surrounding the Tree of Life were filled with normal trees and soon became a huge forest which he called The Great Forest of Alphus, in which the Elves thrived by absorbing nutrients from the Tree of Life and the other trees surrounding it.
After the elf's 100th year of existence and with the population of the elves growing and with the knowledge from the Tree of Life, Ansariel, the first elf that was born, established his power and founded the Kingdom of Ansari in the Great Forest of Alphus.
He proclaimed himself as the First King of the Elves and established his rule and absolute authority together with his wife, Anathalia, the second elf.
His first command was for the elves to stay inside the Great Forest as that is their world.
His second command was his establishment of the Royal Family and the Noble Lineages with the Royal Family being the An Lineage and the Six Noble Lineages that supported his ascension; The Lineages of Dan, Sa, Ga, Du, Ast, and Mu.
With this, the elves lived peacefully inside the embrace of the Great Forest.
Seeing all this, Matthias' amazement increased. The ability and knowledge of the elves that came from the Tree of Life can create a civilization in just 100 years while humans took tens if not hundreds of thousands of years.
The Tree of Life also gave birth to some aerial creatures like the Four-winged Peacock, a peacock-like bird that could fly using its four wide wings and has a tail that could reach up to five meters wide and two meters long. With its heavenly chirp, the land became much more beautiful.
But for Matthias, there are still a lot of necessary things missing.
Several hours later, while looking at the magnificent masterpiece that he made, Matthias was in awe. 𝙛𝘳𝘦e𝓌e𝗯n𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄𝚘𝑚
A paradise was laid before him. He created varieties of land and water bodies like plateaus, plains, mountains, lakes, waterfalls, and all sorts of flora and fauna.
He also bought spirit seeds from the shop which was said to supply the world with magical energy, and spirit veins to fuel the spirit seeds and raise it to release and spread humongous amounts of energy.
He also created varieties of metal for the other creatures that he will create to discover and created caves for them to explore.
He bought animals like cows, chickens, horses, fishes, etc. Not normal ones though. The animals that he bought to populate the world were spirit animals that could also supply the world with energy when they die.
Lastly, he created another race that Shyra suggested for his world; Humans.
He placed them on three different places which are east of the continent that was near a forest, a mountain, and a lake, perfect for human habitation, a place in the north where tundras and mountains converged and where beasts roamed, and the extreme west, where the ocean was near them and where seafaring will emerge sooner or later.
After fifteen years of humanity's existence, he saw how humans developed a little poorly. The people in the east ate grass and wrestled with beasts, the people of the north where mountains rose as high as 3,200 km up in the air survived by wrestling with beasts and adapted to eating moss and rock.
The people on the west fared better as they were near the sea where fishes roam and occasionally got some food.
With how the people of the east and north fared, he aided them by descending and integrating into their society and taught them how to live and sustain themselves. 𝑓𝑟eℯ𝒘𝗲𝑏n𝑜𝚟𝙚𝒍.𝒄o𝐦
With the knowledge that he gave them, Helos, a smart and strong human from the eastern humans, declared himself The Emperor of Helos Empire on the east and led his kind to live and advance.
The people of the west were a little smarter and discovered the fishes and started fishing in their third year. By the time that he finished guiding the three human domains, the humans of the west have developed as much as creating small huts near the sea so that they can be "near their livelihood".
With Matthias having activated the speed-up function, thousands of years have passed in his created world.
Humans of the east expanded their reach and created cities. Neiman, the 22nd King of Helos, became an incompetent leader and became the last ruler of Helos as his huge empire broke and fell, signifying the chaos that will encompass the east, marking the first day of the Falos Era.
? The huge Helos Empire broke down into seven dukedoms and one domain of independent commoners in the south.
After years of conflict, the once ginormous Helos Empire was separated into three kingdoms, Nortos of the North, the Sanster Kingdom that occupied the Imperial Capital, and Yale that occupied the smallest territory in the South.
The three kingdoms constantly fought for territories and resources, bloodshed occurred between the borders of the Kingdoms.
The Elves, being led by Anadriel, grandson of the founder Ansariel, discovered the existence of humanity and prepared for defense.
They crafted bows and arrows from spirit trees, swords, and shields, and armor was created using the surrounding resources available for them.
Although elves haven't experienced war yet, they saw from humankind how devastating it can be.
Not wanting to experience that, the third king of Ansari secured the outer perimeters of the Great Forest and prepared themselves to defend against humans if ever they invaded.
