Critus

Aureus was currently scanning his surroundings.

He currently stands on the peak of a huge and towering mountain, or at least that's what it's called in his memory.

Because of him and his brothers, the mountain is completely golden, from top to bottom, everything was made of pure gold that gave off large amounts of energy.

Aureus looked at the hundreds of swirls of light around him, his brothers, he wondered how long it would take to be born, honestly, he felt alone ...

The system seemed to know what Aureus was thinking.

[Don't bother boy, it will take some time to be born]

"But how long?" Aureus complained, although he had as much knowledge as a scary old monster, he was still just a newborn, with no one around him, he felt bored and alone.

[Um ... let's see, calculating the energy levels of each one and the energy level you had at birth, the largest will take about 80 years]

"80 years!", Aureus exclaimed in horror, "No, that's too much, I don't want to wait that long!"

[... for a creature like you, that amount of time will pass in the blink of an eye, so ...]

"I don't want to wait that long!", Aureus interrupted him.

[...]

[ ... well]

The system sighed, defeated the insistent Aureus.

[If you want them to take less time to be born, then the only thing you can do is increase the energy density in the environment]

"How do I do that!", Aureus was excited, in the short time of his life he has discovered that he hates being alone, he wants to play and explore this world with his brothers, and he wants to do it now.

He has waited 10,000 years to be born, he does not plan to wait another 80 years to be with one of his own.

[There are two ways, the first is to increase the level of your world, but forget about this method, it is not something you can do in the short term, the second way is to place energy stones in your environment, they will emit energy constantly, which increases the energy in the environment, but as the energy density here is very high, you will need exorbitant amounts]

"Energy stones?" Aureus muttered, suddenly excited, exclaiming, "How do I get them ?!"

[The various intelligent races are usually those that have a monopoly on this type of stone, I recommend that you infiltrate their societies, I will guide you if you need it]

[By the way, due to your influence, some races will have appeared that evolved to be stronger and resemble your race]

[These types of races are called vassal races, basically you are gods to them, you can use them to collect energy stones]

"Oh ...", Aureus was pleasantly surprised, although he had inheritance memory thanks to these vassal races, it only contains practical information, so he doesn't know anything about the races themselves.

"Thanks for the explanation, Critus"

[... Critus?]

"Is your name"

[SINCE WHEN?!]

"From now on"

[NOT MY NAME !!]

"Now it is"

[... sigh, just do what I tell you, okay?]

"Sure, Critus"

[... you have a visitor]

Critus did not argue further with Aureus, at this point, he was regretting choosing this being as a companion, according to that he has infinite potential and that his race will become immensely strong with time ... But is it worth the pain?

But immediately afterward he remembered the benefits that come with it, and he was immediately filled with resolution.

"Come on, you can take a lot longer than this!"

Critus, as he is an origin artifact that was born a few millennia ago, he has never had a host, not because he cannot, but because he is extremely demanding, even more demanding than other origin artifacts, they would not choose a normal being as a host, just those beings with infinite potential.

But these types of beings are as rare as the same origin artifacts, so it is not easy for the two to meet.

Some artifacts of origin can spend millions of years wandering the primordial void without finding a being that meets their expectations.

With only a few millennia behind him, Critus could be considered an artifact of newborn origin.

He was wandering quietly through the void doing his things when he felt what someone like him wanted to feel more than anything ...

A being with infinite potential!

When Critus reviewed it, he was fascinated by what he saw.

Member of a new race never seen before, a powerful bloodline that allows any of his race to reach that type of realm, in addition, he is the progenitor of that same race.

Critus do not hesitate and be honest with him ...

[It seems that this being has a childish nature ... well, it was just born, so I'll let it pass ... for now]

[But, Critus ... I can't say I love him, but he's not too bad]

Honestly, Critus has never had a name, so having one causes him ... something he has only seen, but not felt until now ... emotion.

As Critus sums up his thoughts, Aureus descended to the foot of the mountain, where he encountered four peculiar beings.
