1- opening the divine domain

This world is a world where everyone can open up a divine domain, become a god, and cultivate followers.

The office worker you can see anywhere in the streets can be a demigod.

All the CEOs of the big companies are true gods or higher.

And they all part of the Federation of Gods.

At the age of 15, all humans had a chance to open the divine domain by the origin stone.

But people call it an awakening stone.

If they succeeded, they will go to the high school for continuing their study on the divine domain.

Lucas Morgan, after 15 years of waiting and studying, he finally got the chance to open his divine domain.

In a semi-dimension belong to the 8th school of the federation, on the second floor in class 23, Lucas was waiting for the teacher to arrive.

As he was waiting, he thought that in this world, if everyone has the opportunity to become a god, it would be a shame on every transmigrant if he couldn't become one.

The new life would be meaningless for him .

As he was waiting, students got to the class and reached 50, including himself.

"Good morning students, I will be the teacher for the students who successfully opened their divine domain"

Lucas heard the voice in his head, he looked to see a gentle young man who looked like he is in his twenties with dark hair and a black suit, standing.

"Opening the divine domain will define your future, I assume that you know that but I will say again, the size of the divine domain will determine the rank of the family that will be born in it. If the initial radius is less than 5km then most likely you will get a bronze family, 10km silver, 15km gold, 25km platinum, 50km diamond."

"Pla pla pla , can you give us the awakening stone now," Lucas thought, as the teacher continued talking about a lot of things.

"Now comes the moment that most of you waited for," as he said that, a black stone appeared in front of every student's face.

"Put the stone in front of your head and try to absorb the most energy as you can from it, you have 4 hours to do it, it doesn't matter how long it takes you, the important thing is how much you absorbed."

Lucas touched the awakening stone, it was cold, not the normal coldness but one that went through your soul.

"So that is the awakening stone, the origin of the supernatural power in this world " he thought as the stone touched his head.

5 minutes passed as Lucas holding the stone near hus head .

"That is it, where's my energy?" His heart beat started to get higher as he was trying to absorb the energy, time passed fast when needed it.

30 minutes passed.

"If you didn't feel the energy at all, just relax, it's common, you are not useless yet, try to imagine that your empty cup and the stone is a water bottle and try to pour it in the cup," Lucas heard the teacher's voice when he was panicking.

"Relax, it's just 30minutes, there's still more than 3 hours, just focus and you will do it," he thought.

1 hour passed.

"There's still more than 2 hours, don't panic, you're the chosen, your legend will start today, relax," Lucas said to himself.

1 more hour passed.

"Why, why, why, I don't feel anything, is it because I am a transmigrant, Jesus, Buddha, anyone please help me," Lucas started panicking and his face started to be white.

30 minutes passed.

"System, panel, group chat, anything, where's my golden finger, am I not a transmigrant, I don't believe I will be a loser," as he was about to lose his mind, a cold energy had entered his mind.

At the same time, his face started to get normal, the teacher entered the time he absorbed the energy, 3:04, and a note says average.

1 hour passed.

The stones disappeared, "Now congratulations to the 34 people who passed the first phase, and the others, if you want to retry, you must pay 100,000 federal points."

The teacher clapped his hands and the failed students disappeared, "Now we will start to measure how many origin energy you have absorbed."

As he said that, a strange helmet appeared next to him, "Anastasia Ivanova, come here."

A female with long black hair stood up and her face looked a bit scared as she walked.

"Put your head here," the teacher said as he pointed to the helmet.

Few seconds later, "13 points average, next."

She got back to her chair and another student goes, "17 points average, next."

A few minutes passed.

"Lucas Romano."

"56 points, good," the teacher said with a smile.

As the teacher said that, a lot of the students looked at him, some smiled and others put on fake smiles, and more looked at him with jealousy.

The teacher continued, "Lucas Morgan."

Lucas heard his name and stood with a bit of nervousness, "Don't be afraid, it will not affect your future, whatever you have, the important thing is to open the divine domain," Lucas said to himself.

Lucas put his head in the helmet, and he felt as someone spied on his body, "52 points, good," Lucas heard it and got his head from the helmet with a smile.

"Not the highest but at the top," he said to himself as he walked back to his chair.

30 minutes passed.

"I am the fourth on the class now, as the first had 63 and the second is a girl who had 60," as he thought to himself, the teacher had finished calling for names.

"Now comes the second stage and the last, opening the divine realm, as I said before, don't try to eat more than you can take, if your origin point is 20, aim for 5km and keep at least 5 origin points for your family, if your origin point is less than 40, aim for 10 or 15km, if you're more than 40, aim for 25, if your origin point is more than 100, aim for diamond or your divine world will collapse."

The girl who had 60 origin points asked the teacher with shyness, "Why does the diamond race need more than double the platinum race?"

Lucas also had that question.

Before the teacher talked, some random guy with 40 origin points, "It's because the difference in the basic stats is so big, more than twice, and after leveling, the difference gets bigger and bigger, and also because they can level up to level 120 as platinum can level up to 80 only, and they need a big radius for the divine domain and more importantly, more laws in the core of the divine world to be born, so it's not 1+1=2, it's 1+1+=3 or even 4."

"Is she from the civil family?"

The class whispered about her family, which made her face turn into red.

"Quiet,the answer is as what Arthur said, Sophie, and I also recommend not to aim for more than you can do."

"Now, let's go to the other room," as he finished his sentence, the view had changed to a room full of students, a hundred exactly.

"You will get into the world awakening device for opening your divine domain," he said and called 10 people to enter.

10 minutes later, they got out of the room, some with happy faces and others with smiles but not big ones, and others were crying.

"The main goal for me is to go for a platinum domain, but if I can't, gold is good," Lucas thought.

As he was planning what he would do, he heard his name, "Lucas Morgan."

"It's the moment of truth, if you will be a god or to be someone else's slave," Lucas said in his mind and walked through to get into the machine.

"I will say this once, so focus, you will start with the core of the divine world, the more origin points you put there, the more constant it will be and the more radius you can extend and the stronger the normal animals will be, some even can start with level 2 or 3, but the more you put into it, the less you can put in the radius and the creation of the family, so, you have ten minutes to choose between the strategies for your origin points, it starts now."

"I had studied more than 10 years and now is the time you want to tell me that you bastards, fuck fuck, how do youlet 15 years old boy to choose in 10 minutes his future, who put that system," Lucas heard that and started to panic.

And he started to look at the catalog and filtered it to 52 point strategies.

"5 only," he read the introduction as fast as he can.

5 minutes passed.

"So there are two that focus on the core and one on the radius of the world and one on the family and the last balance."

"The balance is the least rewarding but it's least risky of failure, but I will choose it if you can get from zero to one then anything else is useless, there are a lot of genius but the strongest god in the federal was someone that took from him to get to the true good more than a billion years so it doesn't matter," Lucas has decided.

So he read the last one.

"Quick reminder that the strategy you choose will not be changed before you get to the true god so choose carefully."

"Who but that fucking system, at the last minute you give me that information," Lucas cursed.

As he said that, his consciousness had traveled to the core of his divine world.

The whole space is dark and there's a small point that emits small light, it was 1 by 1, it wasn't a land, it was more like a mixed light shaped as a chain overlapping each other.

"You have 10 minutes in the main plan."

Lucas heard, "So I have 7 days as the time rate is 1 to 1000, now we put 17 origin points at the core of the world."

He put one and the light of the chains got more lighter and overlapping, as he added more origin points, the more light and chains appeared, after 17 points it was like a ball of different lights, but he noticed that the blue light was 40% of the light and the brown was like 15% and the others are mixed of colors.

"So my divine world will be more of sea and a bit of land, I hope it will be a continent, not islands."

"Now comes the hard part, which more than 40% of the genius fail at it, as they have overconfident in their self, and it is the expansion of the radius of the divine realm."

He tried to put one origin point in the core for expanding the radius.

"It was easy."

As he said that, a 2000-meter radius ball had appeared around the core of the divine like it's a shield for it.

"One point is equivalent to 2000 meters, at that rate, I should have a 36 km radius," he thought with a smile on his face.

He then added origin points until he added 13 points.

"It should be more than enough for a 25 km radius now."

But the radius is at 20 km long.

"So it gets harder as you go through."

Lucas then added one origin point and waited to see what would happen.

The ball got bigger by a small rate after a while, the radius got to 21km.

"How, it should be easy for me to get a platinum world with my 52 points."

He added one more origin point but this time he focused on what is happening in the divine world.

"That it, half the origin point goes to the core as I didn't control it after I put it in," Lucas thought.

"I have 4 origin points, focus, you should at least get a platinum world."

Lucas added one more origin point, but this time with the attention to get the radius longer, he focused on doing that and he entered the flow state and time passed really fast.

4 days passed.

"Hahaha, one point added more than 3km, that's great," he said it as he was laughing.

Lucas looked at the clock and his face turned to white.

"How, time passed that fast, I only have 3 days left to expand the world and also to create my family."

"You can make it, it's just one km less than the platinum world."

Lucas thinks that, but reality says different things.

He tried to put one point but still, he didn't get in the same flow state, he tried more but still no change, and the radius after the two is 24.9 km only.

"What is messing in me," Lucas said it with a bit of anxiety.

He relaxed and tried again, he then entered the flow state.

Two days passed.

"I did it, my divine world is now officially 29 km, I have a platinum world," he said it with relief as he took off a heavy weight on his chest.

"Now the easy part is to create a family in the divine domain and I will be a divine creature."

He stepped in the divine domain and looked at his world, it was an ocean with a lot of islands in it without a sun, but there's still light, there was no living creature in the world, it was empty without a single cell in it.

"That will be my home and the place I will be for most of my life," Lucas thought.

He stopped and looked in every island in the water for the best place to create his family.

After a while.

He chose the biggest island, it was left to the center of the world by 10 km only, but it was suitable for a start.

Its radius was 3 km, and he named it heartstone.

He then put 5 origin points in the core of the divine world for life to be created, as he was watching his world by his divine sense, and life started to grow in the world, trees are starting to grow, fish and animals are starting to appear.

What happened is a lifetime gift from the world core.

A few hours passed and the divine realm started to look like a living world and there are a lot of animals and trees and birds all over the world.

"It comes the moment of truth, which family I will get, elf, dragon, ork, anything is good," he said with excitement.

Lucas put the rest of the origin points in the core and chose to born the family.

"It will be my family for the rest of my life so I hope it will be something strong or have at least enough wisdom."

As he was diving in his thought, a family of two turtles was playing in the sea next to heartstone was going to reproduce as the core of the world emitted light on them and they started evolving into a humanoid shape and their height gets to 2.3 meters long, and more important is their brain had evolved more than anything else and the shell had become more solid.

As the changes in turtles were happening, Lucas felt a strange feeling that someone is linked to him, so his divine sense goes to where he feels it and sees the turtle evolve.

"Turtle ork, it's not bad, and they have good fighting skills and turtles have good wisdom and long life."
