Chapter 15: Ascension and the Dawn of a New Era

Kaito stood atop a grand balcony, overlooking the final stages of his nation's construction. The banners of his new empire fluttered in the wind, carrying with them the weight of his ambitions. His dream was nearly realized, and soon, the world would witness a transformation unlike anything before.

However, amidst the excitement, there was an underlying concern. The King of Eldoria, one of the most powerful rulers of the current world, voiced his doubts. In a private meeting, he questioned Kaito's actions.

"How do you plan to handle the aftereffects of all this? You are not just building a nation—you are disrupting the very foundation of our world."

Kaito remained unfazed. He had anticipated such questions. With a confident gaze, he replied, "I will handle everything. The way the world operates now is flawed. Once my nation is officially announced, the very structure of society will change. The way people live, the way they think, even the way they perceive power—it will all be rewritten."

The king sighed, shaking his head. "You're playing with forces beyond our understanding. Just be prepared for the consequences."

Before Kaito could respond, a golden notification window appeared before him, carrying a divine presence unlike anything he had felt before.

[God has summoned you. Tap to teleport.]

Understanding the gravity of the situation, Kaito excused himself. With a single tap, his vision blurred, and he felt himself being transported to a divine realm.

When Kaito arrived, he found himself in an expansive hall made of celestial marble, adorned with ethereal golden light. At the head of the room sat God himself, a being whose presence radiated omnipotence. However, what caught Kaito's attention more were the others present—beings of immense power, each exuding a unique divine aura.

God gestured for him to take a seat. As Kaito settled in, the deity began speaking.

"You have done it, Kaito. You have changed the structure of the world and in doing so, have stepped into the realm of gods. However, if you wish to continue reshaping this world, you must take on an even greater responsibility."

Kaito listened attentively as God continued. "You are now at a crossroads. If you wish to alter fundamental aspects of existence, you must do so as a god—one who oversees and governs that domain. So, tell me, are you ready to take on such a role?"

Kaito pondered for a brief moment before responding. "If it means I can make my dreams come true, then I'll do it."

At his words, the hall erupted into laughter. One of the gods, an elder figure with a long beard, turned to God with an amused expression. "Old man, what were you thinking, reincarnating someone like him? He has already given the gods of technology and crafts a challenge. Now, he's aiming to surpass even us."

Kaito's curiosity piqued. "Wait… there are other gods?"

A warrior-like deity with a battle-scarred face grinned. "Of course. I am the God of Martial Arts and Combat. There are countless other gods—God of Love, God of Battle, God of War, and many more."

Hearing this, Kaito's mind spun with possibilities. "Then… can I meet the Gods of Technology, Craft, and Magic? I have ideas—things I want to create."

A voice from the shadows chuckled. "Why stop at meeting them? Why not become one of us?"

Kaito turned his gaze to God, who smiled knowingly. "Indeed, Kaito. You have already reached that realm when you modified your own body—removing fatigue and mana limits. That level of control over existence is already divine. With my approval, I hereby grant you the title of God of Programming & Creation."

A surge of power rushed through Kaito's being. His vision expanded, his mind raced with newfound knowledge, and his body felt weightless yet omnipotent. He had ascended.

God continued, "You will return here in ten days to receive your official title and meet the other gods. Until then, prepare yourself."

With a flash of light, Kaito found himself back in the real world.

As he looked around, he saw that the construction of his nation was complete. Towers stood tall, streets were lined with advanced infrastructure, and people moved with a sense of purpose. His dream was no longer just an idea—it was reality.

Without hesitation, Kaito sent out a message to the rulers of other nations.

[Urgent Summit Meeting: The Future of This World Will Be Decided.]

As he stood at the peak of his capital, he smiled. His journey was far from over. In ten days, he would ascend to godhood. Until then, he had a world to reshape.

And this was just the beginning.
