I Guess I'm a God of Creation

by TotallyHumanPerson

Tasaki Ichiro is a person who works and sleeps. Over and over. The only respite he gets is when he plays his favorite game, World Box. But one day he finds himself in the world of Elardia, the very world he created in World Box. What is he going to do now that he has entered into the very world he created? I guess I'm a God of Creation.

6. Chapter 6

I hear birds chirping and I open my eyes. It's the morning and I look up at the ceiling. I see it's a ceiling I don't recognize. My eyes widen and I sit up straight.

[Wait a minute! I can clearly see that roof!] I realize I wasn't wearing my glasses. I look around trying to figure out where I am. I realize I'm actually in the room from my dream last night. Wait a minute.

I pinch my arm. Itai! Is this really a dream?! I think about all the things that happened yesterday. I can clearly recall the memories as if it was real life. I have to come to some very hard conclusions.

[If this isn't a dream, then that means I really am the God of Creation for this world!] I place my hands on my knees to stabilize myself.

[Is such a thing even possible?] I look outside the window and see Elded walking towards the Inn.

[If this is still a dream, then that would mean I'm the God of Creation for this dream! Either way I'm way to OP!] What do I do? Is this a dream or my new reality?!

As I contemplate this new existence I find myself in, I hear a knock on my door.

[Ichiro-dono, Elded-san is here for you.] That's confusing. This very respectful voice came from Sila! What's going on here? I call out to Sila.

[Thank you, Sila-chan. I will be down shortly.]

[Of course, Ichiro-dono.] I look over at the door and see Sila's status hasn't moved. She's waiting by the door. Hm. This brings up a new issue. Do I reveal that I'm the one who created this world? Or should I keep that a secret? I quickly decide that I'll keep it a secret since this would just lead to far too many headaches.

I quickly review my status and make sure my traits are fine. I don't see anything that sticks out too much. This should be fine.

I open my door and see Sila standing there bowing deeply. It's kind of embarrassing.

[Ichiro-dono, thank you for gracing us with your presence. Would you like to have breakfast now or will you conclude your business with Elded-san before returning?] Who is this person and what have they done with Sila-chan?

[Sila-chan, you don't have to be so stiff. Just talk to me casually.] I smile and try to be as welcoming as possible.

[I cannot, Ichiro-dono. To disgrace our Inn any further with my lowly conduct would be nothing short of cursing my family up to the seventh generation.] I nearly cough blood. Why is she so serious?

[Ahaha, for now I'll just see if Elded-san wants some breakfast with me.] I start walking towards the stairs and Sila follows behind me exactly five paces behind. What is this perfect conduct? Is she a maid now? As I walk down the stairs I see Mirel and Elded both looking at me. Mirel has her hands clasped in front of her, and Elded seems to be smiling.

[So this is what it looks like.] I look at Elded. What's that suppose to mean?

[Hai?]

[Ah, my apologies, Ichiro-dono. I was just commenting on a thought I just had. There's no need to think too deeply about it.] Elded motions for me to follow him to the kitchen part of the Inn, so I follow. Mirel and Sila seem to be keeping their pacing just behind me. It's kind of awkward.

[Mirel-san, Sila-chan, you don't have to walk behind me, you know.]

[Our positions are just right for the situation, Ichiro-dono.] It seems Mirel isn't budging on this matter. Or she seems to be very set on something. I sigh and look at Elded who seems to have adopted a sympathetic look. I then see Owner-san in the distance. He looks very flustered and then rushes over.

[Ichiro-dono.] I nearly fall over when he comes over and kneels in front of me like I'm a king or something.

[Owner-san! Please raise your head!] Why is he so humble? I check his status. His desire says to atone for his sins and his mood says repentant? What did he do last night?!

[Ichiro-dono, my conduct last night was unsightly. Say the word and I shall repent with my life.]

[OY OY! What are you talking about, Owner-san?! Life is far too precious to throw it away so casually!] I try to pry Owner-san off the ground, but he just throws himself into a deep dogeza.

[Thank you for your mercy, Ichiro-dono! I shall remember it for the rest of my life!] Why is everyone so serious? I look at Elded who then looks at Mirel. I turn to face Mirel who is averting her gaze from mine. She claps twice and ushers Elded and myself to our seats.

[Everyone, Ichirio-dono doesn't like such stuffy things, remember? Also, Ichiro-dono is merciful. Let's do our job properly and to the best of our abilities. And Ichiro-dono will recognize our efforts.] Crap. I feel like I've already been found out. I look over at Elded.

[Elded-san, may I ask a question?]

[Of course, Ichiro-dono. If it is in my power to answer I will do so.]

[Do you know why everyone has become so serious around me?] I look at Elded who is now showing a face of shame? His mood says he is regretful. What could he be regretful about.

[Please forgive me, Ichiro-dono. I tried to inform everyone that you are traveling as a simple man, but your divine self was too hard to hide.] Yup, I blew it already.

[Sigh. So what do they know, Elded-san?]

[Please forgive me, Ichiro-dono. They know you are the God of Humans.]

[Eh?]

I look at Elded in confusion, and he simple tilts his head to the side.

[I'm sorry, did you say the God of Humans?]

[Yes, Ichiro-dono. Ah, did I get it wrong and you're actually the God of Medicine? Or perhaps the God of Benevolence?] I hold my head in my hands. So Elardia is polytheistic. That's interesting. Should I correct him? I suppose it couldn't hurt. I'll just keep it under wraps in the future.

[Ichiro-dono, have I upset you?]

[No no, you're just wrong about my identity. I am none of those gods.] Elded's eyes widen. I can see him start to shake.

[Are you...perhaps...a demon?]

[No no no! I am no demon, Elded-san!] Elded exhales deeply. He then looks at me.

[Ichiro-dono, may I humbly ask what station you hold among the Gods?] I lean in towards Elded who does the same. I can see the anticipation in his eyes.

[You must keep this a secret, Elded-san. I don't want it spreading.] He nods vigorously.

[I'm not any of those gods you mention because I am the one who created Elardia.] Elded's eyes widen. He leans back and I watch as the color leaves his face.

[Y-y-y-you are...you are...]

[I created the five continents of Elardia. I made every river, mountain, and hill by hand. I created every tree, every animal, and every mortal. I was there at the beginning when the first family settled each continent. I know every living being's name.] Elded begins to form tears in his eyes as the realization begins to wash over him.

[I am the Creator, Elded-san. I am the God of Creation.] Elded look at me and then immediately placed both hands on the table as if to stabilize himself. I then hear a loud crash and when I look over I see Mirel on the ground having fainted.

[Owner-san, please tend to Mirel-san!] I yell out and Owner-san immediately rushes over. He comes to Mirel's side but then looks at me.

[Your breakfast, Ichiro-dono.]

[Mirel-san is more important than a meal, Owner-san. Please tend to her first.] Owner-san's mood status changes to grateful and he rushes off with Mirel in his arms. I look over at Elded who is still pale.

[Are you going to be ok, Elded-san?]

[I don't know, Ichiro-dono, no, Ichiro-sama. Knowing who and what you really are is just too much.] I suppose that's to be expected, especially when you find out the person you are speaking to is the creator of all things? I really am too OP.

[It's fine, Elded-san. I won't blame you if you speak casually to me in the future you know.]

[How could I ever dare, Ichiro-sama?!] Oof. Looks like they've gone the other way in being comfortable with me. I look to the side and see Hectyr's status coming closer.

[Looks like Hectyr is almost here.] Elded looks up and at that moment Hectyr comes rushing in with a sack of coins.

[As expected, you know all things and see all things.]

[Stop it Elded-san. Hectyr! Come on over here.] I wave over Hectyr who spots me immediately and rushes over with a smile on his face.

[Oy, Ichiro, that ore you handed over is some good stuff! I mean absolutely pure! And did you notice it had some magic element to it? Ha, of course you probably noticed. I mean you had to right? Oy, what's wrong with you Elded?] Elded has almost lost all composure has Hectyr had rushed up and wrapped his arm around my shoulders while talking.

[So then it can be sold, Hectyr?]

[Whatcha even saying, Ichiro? Of course it can be sold! I can make some top tier stuff with that ore. So I brought some coin to buy it off ya. Normally I'd do just basic exchange for coins to ore. But since its got that magic to it, it's worth a bit more. Seriously, Elded what's wrong with ya?] Poor Elded. I should probably hurry this up for his heart's sake.

[So how much can I earn with the ore?] Hectyr releases me from his embrace and places the sack of coins on the table.

[Well see fer yerself, Ichiro. That's how much I'm willing to pay for it.]

I look through the sack of coins. It seems there's roughly 10 large gold coins, 10 large silver coins, 25 smaller silver coins, and 20 large copper coins. I counted them all out and looked at the image of a man with a crown on each coin. I look over at Elded and point to the coins.

[Is this a good price?] Elded seems to have come back to his senses and clears his throat.

[Yes, Ichiro-sama. That amount is very much a decent amount. You would be able to live quit comfortably off that for many years. I'm wondering how Hectyr was able to get such an amount.] I immediately look over at Hectyr who then tries to hide his face.

[It's my life savings. The ore is just too good. Ah! Don't worry, I'll absolutely earn it back!] I stand up and grab Hectyr's shoulders.

[That simply won't do. Come with me outside at once!] I can see the worry in Hectyr's face but he follows me all the same. I also notice Elded is following me as well.

We get outside the Inn and I point at a spot. I use the interface to create gold, silver, and some mithril. I create 25 pounds of gold, 50 pounds of silver, and 5 pounds of mithril. I point at the ore and look at Hectyr.

[Please accept this as compensation for giving me so much currency, Hectyr.] I was trying to be generous, but I watch as Hectyr falls to his knees. The light having left his eyes. Elded on the other hand has fallen to his knees and has clasped his hands. I think he's praying to me?
