Synopsis
The world is built on a quiet, unspoken desire: every human being wants their life to mean something. Most people forget that desire exists, burying it under comfort and routine. Others shrink their dreams until success becomes achievable, convincing themselves they have fulfilled their purpose. And then there are the rare few—the relentless ones—who dedicate their entire existence to a single goal: to leave behind something undeniable. Yet even they often fail, defeated by time, circumstance, or someone who simply began the race earlier. The narrator was one of those rare few. After a lifetime shaped by war, loss, betrayal, and relentless ambition, he achieved what no human had accomplished in centuries. Through sheer impact on the world, he ascended beyond mortality and became the God of Humanity, the first new god in eight hundred years. Yet the triumph he spent nearly a century chasing feels strangely hollow. His entire life—every battle, every sacrifice—can be reduced to nine simple words: life, killing, loss, betrayal, victory, fulfillment, emptiness, sadness. For a moment, he believed reaching the top would grant peace. Instead, he discovers that becoming a god does not mean standing above fate—it only means entering a larger hierarchy.

Chapter 1 - The Adaption

The World is confusing, isn't it? You, me, everyone in the world goes through life with one subconscious goal. Make my life mean something. Most people forget this goal exists, others rather than going closer to their goal, lessen their goal to make themselves think, I reached my goal with effort, when I reality they just lowered their desire and decided to live in comfort rather than strive. And then there's that 1% that from the day they are born , to the day they die do everything in their power to make their life mean something, only to fall short: cause they were too slow, or someone got a better head start and beat them. 

 

Now this paragraph, why am I writing this at the start of this story. To be honest, I don't know. What I do know is this. I did it. What the rest of the world couldn't do. I did it. 

I reached the top. The top any mortal could reach, I became immortal or to be more precise I became a God. The god of humanity. But you know what's funny. Even being the god of humanity. The one above all. I learned that I wasn't someone who was outside the spectrum that I didn't fall in any of the categories I wrote above, but in reality, I was in the 1% the one who was either too slow, or in my case just had a bad start. 

A god can be made in 2 ways, A. Leave a big enough impact to be called and prayed to, like I was. Or B. Just be born with it. 

life, killed, slaughtered, lost, betrayed, won, fulfillment, emptiness, sadness 

Funny right? A man spends his Entire life chasing one goal, and his entire life can be summed up in 9 words. 9 words . It takes 9 words to sum up the first new god in 800 years. 

 

This isn't the story of how a man became the god of Humanity, this is the story of the man, who fought the god of Creation. The ending to that fight? I wonder how long it'll take to get to that.
