Chapter one :
I decided to live for myself, it's been 20 years since I was born but it was on this day I made the greatest decision of my life.
Few years back a celestial entity humans later came to call the true celestial came to earth.
Out of its boredom it created a game Clash of Empires.
Humans beings would be chosen to go too another world where they would Create empire of their own to battle against others.
Only few people where chosen every year, the true celestial chose only those it deemed would bring it the most entertainment.
Most people where usually chosen at the age of 18, thou they where those over the age who where chosen .
I lived a life just like any other person but I was more sensitive to betrayal than most.
I had multiple friends and relatives but I never really liked most of them, I just stayed due to necessity.
There was a time when I believed in true friendship and family but not again .
I can't count the amount of times I was betrayed. I was always there for them when they needed help but they where never thier for me .
And it was this moment I decided to live for myself and not for anyone. The moment I made that decision it appeared
{ congratulations you have been chosen }
[ you have been designated as a person capable of bringing entertainment to the True Celestial]
( Do you accept ?
If you do you will be sent to the battle ground
of empires where you can obtain powers
beyond your mortal comprehension )
I accepted immediately only a fool would reject such an opportunity, as gullible and too trusting as I was, a fool was what I wasn't
Immediately I accepted I lost consciousness only to wake up in a world of absolute whiteness.
The space of decisions.
Few people who had achieved great success in the other world where allowed to temporarily come back to earth.
And people gained a lot of information from them that's why I knew I was in the space of decisions .
It was in here that I would decide the race of people that I would rule over.
I immediately chose humans, they where those who chose dragons and other mythical creatures but I preferred humans
In this space we were each given a thousand existence points to create our race's for each advantage the coresponding points would be deducted and for each disadvantage added additional points would be granted.
Choosing human netted me additional points it seems being a human is considered a disadvantage.
I chose to add more disadvantage. Some might call this a mistake but i knew even disadvantage could become advantages in the right situation.
Physical weakness : even when matured the base physical fitness of a human would be that of a child's
Mana overdose : over sensitivity to mana and a very high intake of mana ( the body is always accumulating mana even when harmful to the body, the body is always in a state of mana accumulation even when it can't take more)
Excessive beauty: each member of the race would be overwhelmingly beautiful even races who normally aren't attracted to humans would feel attracted
Even beauty can be a disadvantage depending on the situation. What use is it being beautiful if you can't protect yourself and your beauty
Pride : they will be prideful especially towards others who aren't of the human race
Wrath : the are wrathful towards others who aren't of their race
More disadvantages to long to list where added, at the end I gained more than double the existence points I added.
It was time to add traits which turned the disadvantages to overwhelming advantages
Gluttony, Greed, Lust, Envy, and sloth of mana : due to gluttony -can use mana in place of food and can obtain every single needed nutritient from mana, due to greed - every single type of mana can be taken and used , due to lust and envy - gain a high understanding of the uses of mana, user gains an innate understanding of any form of mana or manipulation of mana used in the users presence, due to sloth - mana is passively used to enhance the user ( physical, etc).
High intellect: easy acquisition of knowledge and high intelligence of all forms ( battle iq, EQ, SQ, AQ, etc )
Loyalty : loyalty to the empire and the highest form of loyalty to i max Constantine, to i who created this race .
A lot more where added but these were the major ones, each disadvantage was successful turned to an advantage, some listed disadvantage even countered each other . The prideful trait and mana sensitivity trait for instance, the pride trait gave high mental fortitude which countered mana sensitivity which put heavy pressure on the mind.
Mana sensitivity was now a trait which had many uses
A lot of races had invisibility which was possibly using mana.but the sensitivity to mana made these useless in front of the humans i created
It was time to name this new version of humans I created
HUMAN PARAGON
The human paragon was the beast name I could think of which fitted perfectly with the perfect humans I created .
{ Congratulations To The New Emperor}
And
Welcome
To
The New World .
I lost consciousness again. I was in the middle of a plain and in the distance was a forest which was a good start they were stories of people starting in desert like areas I was lucky to start here.
Although except from wood it wouldn't have made a difference , due to the mana gluttony trait the human paragons could survive almost anywhere even without food .
I felt very weak when I regained consciousness but I could feel mana passively enhancing me.
An emperor could choose to become any race he created and of course I choose to become a paragon they were only advantages to this .
Although I started weak compared to other my many traits would overcome the puny advantages other raceses had over me
I will show this new world that the human paragons are the greatest race in existence.
