Arsere gazed into her world-creating orb.
Inside, the ten great plates of Crevalis floated in perfect balance.
Countless tiny souls drifted across the lands like wandering fireflies, glowing softly as they moved.
She tilted her head slightly and smiled.
"So small… so fragile…" she whispered.
"And yet, each of you carries a fragment of me."
Her voice softened.
"You are my responsibility now. I won't let anything happen to you."
Her fingers hovered above the orb. The souls responded to her presence—some spun gently in circles, others followed
invisible currents guided by her will.
The sight made her chuckle.
"Heh… little stars."
"But even stars can fall."
Her gaze sharpened.
"I need to shape this world properly… before your first evolution."
She leaned closer, studying every plate.
"The upper plate will be the peak of all existence.
The middle plates will nurture life.
And the lower plates…"
her eyes dimmed slightly, "…will become trials and punishment."
She exhaled softly and laughed.
"Most gods probably wouldn't care this much."
"But I do."
Her hand rested against the orb's surface. She could feel every soul's faint heartbeat. The world itself pulsed gently in
response to her touch.
"Alright… structure first. Then races. Then destiny."
A small smile formed.
"Let's give you names."

Arsere finally turned her attention back to Soulspire, the highest plate.
"This place doesn't need bodies."
Instead, she filled it with energy:
Soul
energy
thats the only energy that her control currently .
Suddenly—
Pain surged through her.
"Gh… too much at once…"
Her vision blurred.
The strain of shaping so many races and laws at once crushed against her soul.
The Infinity Creator collapsed into sleep.

Tiny souls wandered freely across every plate.
She blinked.
"Oh—shit. The chat."
She checked her world status first.

.
"Alright… next step."

"I'll guide you."
Then she paused.
"…But first, I should probably talk to the others."
