Chapter 1: Chapter One : Before The Absolute

"You can gain all that you have ever wished for, money, power, fame, love. All of it can be yours." A cold voice reverberated throughout the seemingly bright expanse of nothingness, save for light and the platform Levi found himself standing on.

Forget moving, the platform could be said to be small, but only if you compared it to the space it was in, otherwise, it was so large it could support the sun even if it was several thousand times larger than it was currently.

"You can assume the position of God. You will rule over all beings as God. Do you accept Levi?" The voice asked again and Levi couldn't say he wasn't interested, but then he smiled wryly.

"You can offer me such a thing, so you must know that I am literally no one important. Being God sounds nice, but I'd like to think that the choices I made were a result of my own thoughts rather than it being decided by God or some higher being."

"If I did become God, wouldn't I have the option to take away the choices of others? Mind you, I am no saint, but the mere fact someone who was normal can be offered such a thing is frightening."

"You didn't decline. Somewhere inside, you yearn for power. To be absolute and eternal." The voice didn't continue but Levi smiled again and ruffled his waist length light red hair.

"I would love to be God but I also see that it isn't all sunshine and rainbows. God is often defined by either worship or punishment, and I hate interacting with others, so such a position isn't for me."

"Then you would refuse? Knowing that you would spend the rest of your life as a mortal? Dying and entering the cycle of reincarnation instead of becoming more?" The voice didn't seem to carry much emotion, but it was now colder than before.

"Being God isn't something everyone can do. I am me, and I like to think I know my limits well. It would be and sounds fun. But the consequences of such an action could be dire and I don't want to bear all that responsibility." Levi shrugged because he wouldn't mind dying before he was made responsible for the universe.

"Then you refuse. You shall toil in the many Mortal worlds forever." The voice thundered like a clap of thunder, just magnified infinitely and Levi felt his heart clench as a massive amount of light converged above him.

"Do you regret?" The voice asked as the storm of light and pure power above churned and surged but he shook his head with a sigh. He didn't even like taking responsibility for himself, much less being God, the prospect was horrifying.

"Then you shall get your judgment." The voice didn't finish but the sea of power above shrunk from shrouding the entire sky above to a small flickering ember that shot down and entered Levi's chest.

"You are Levi, and you are a God henceforth. No matter what actions you take or paths you thread, it is yours to make." The voice boomed but it wasn't cold anymore like before, it was a bit warmer, just a bit.

"Can I ask why?" Levi asked, his body turning into a ball of light, no not light, he became literal power and energy, able to break the laws of the world and know all that he wished if he so wanted.

"Gods are said to be born from mortals, and it is so. Gods and Goddesses have no need for faith or worship, they exist beyond the many Mortal worlds. As to why you specifically? Because it is what is." The voice fell silent as Levi's body reformed, the endless light and energy radiating from his body vanishing as his previous appearance appeared.

"Who are you?" Levi asked, as even with all the powers of a God, even a new one, he couldn't resist the voice's presence, and if the speaker wished to deal with him, he would be erased without resistance.

"You can call me The Origin. Or The Absolute. There are many Gods and Goddesses, all raised from my will. No that no matter what, even if you do defy me, I will not take action. I merely observe Levi. That is all."

"You know how to leave. If you wish to suspend your Omniscience, just will it to be and it will be. Some Mortal worlds cannot withstand a God manifesting within unless you wish to cause unnatural phenomena." The Absolute's presence faded, not to the point where it was gone, but because The Absolute had a higher form of Omniscience than even the Gods, it knew everything there was to know, if not more.

Levi nodded and his body vanished in a flash of light, appearing above a blue green planet, the coldness vacuum of space not bothering him at all. He was a God and limited his Omniscience to utilizing his powers and willed to forget the rest.

He had no interest in who some random woman slept with behind her husband's back or the father who didn't heed boundaries with his kids to name a few.

"Earth believes itself to be alone in the universe, but while that is true, they scoff at the idea of worlds beyond. Well, I was skeptical as well. It seems I should seal myself to go down." Levi mumbled and then his body flashed and appeared in a well maintained apartment building.

"I can still change things, but the strength that could tear Mortal worlds apart and my aura that could erase everything I wished is restrained." While his strength was restrained, the world wasn't Earth, but the what the mortals considered the universe.

His body was in front of a mirror, and he took a look and sighed. His long light red hair bordering on pink and similar colored eyes inspected himself but aside from a few minute changes, he was the same.

The changes were minute, a millimeter off at most, but he was extremely handsome instead of being average like before. Levi shook his head and sat down, walking normally instead of locking on to a coordinate and willing himself to be there.
