The morning sun painted the fields of Astra with a soft golden glow, This Village, hidden among MASSIVE Hills and Large rivers, Thrived on simple farming, modest homes and close communities, Yet, at it's center stood a statue – A relic from times long past – that the villagers worshiped with unshakable faith and belief.
Crafted from weathered clay and breaking cracks on its arm or torso, The statues blank, serene expression never changed. Every dawn, Villagers came bearing offerings : Small wooden cravings, Small flowers, golden trinkets, Even a handful of grains – tokens of devotion to the God of Astra, Known to them as Hashtras.
But within that statue of clay shell, Something stirred.
Theo's consciousness flicked like a candle in a breeze. Dim memories of his previous life drifted at the edge of his awareness, But the present quickly overshadowed them. He was not in the body he remembered. He was here – in a clay statue, surrounded by warmth and quiet prayers.
He blinked inwardly, and a translucent status window appeared before his mind's eyes.

A mechanical, almost a gentle voice echoed in his mind.
[ You have been reincarnated as a God. You are bound to the clay vessel in Astra. Would you like to see the skill window and the information Channel ]
Theo stared at the information, His heart pounding — Though he had no real heart anymore.
Hathras.
He had a new name in this world — Hathras, The god of Astra.
' select the info channel ' Theo thought to himself, If he had been reincarnated in another world, He had to see if his system worked like those in the novels and manhwas.

' What the Hell am I reading? I thought they would be wise and Serious, Not something like this ' Theo muttered to himself, Surprised to the core.
Theo scrolled through the endless chatter, Seeing some gods Bragging about their followers. Theo waved his hand from the Left to the right, And a different screen appeared infront of him. It had the name God Forum In the Highest and Some channels, Like a Discord Server and there were forums too.
Theo decided to let it on hold and focused on something else.
' Anyway, What is with this Barrier and Followers thing? ' Theo asked the System, Confused, Not knowing what it meant.

The Barrier defined his domain. At first, it encompassed only Astra — a small circle around the village. Within it, Hathras could teleport instantly from any shrine or temple, but beyond it, he was confined by an impenetrable fog.
Villages that worshipped him — even without a proper temple — would gradually thin the fog, expanding his Barrier. A fully built temple, though, would solidify his presence and strengthen his rewards.

A small boy approached the statue that morning, clutching a smooth stone like a precious gem. His mother stood behind him, hands on his shoulders.
"Please, great Hathras," the boy whispered, "help my papa's crops grow strong this year."
He set the stone down at the statue's feet.
Hathras's Creation skill pulsed instinctively. A shimmer of blue light enveloped the stone. Energy flowed from him — a drain on his mana, but a spark of wonder.
In an instant, the stone transformed into a tiny swirling planet, complete with miniature oceans, clouds, and a heartbeat of mana that only Theo could feel.
' Is that a Literal planet! This bonus is something else '
The End
