Awakening Chronicles

Chapter 32

I sat there and stared at my screen for a few minutes. What would a good first choice be? Did I want to be cliche and choose something that anyone would if they had the chance? Yes, I think I will be for the first one. I expanded the monster list a bit and searched through what I could make. From the looks of it, I could only do something that I had access to or existed in my inventory.

I broke apart each monster type based on whichever species they came with and organized it a little better. Now that I did that, I needed to decide on what I want.

I crossed my legs and rested my arm on the side of my chair. I then propped my arm up and rested my head in my hand as I thought over my choices. I strummed my fingers across the armrest as I drew a blank. Orcs? No, I felt like they were to cliche, same with everything else on the list.

I let out a frustrated groan and went through the list again. What did the cliches even matter? But since I am so indecisive over this, I want to start with something specific, unique even. I glanced through the list once more and saw the Celestial Nephilim monster list.

This was interesting, and most unique out of the batch since my race was extremely new. I scrolled through, and I narrowed my choices down to just two. Star Eater and Celestial Dragon. "Helios, can I make personality templates for the monsters as I did for my deities?"

He shook his head. "No, they are randomly assigned a personality. But since they are considered sapient monsters, they can be issued a class, if you so desire."

I bobbed my head as I listened along. But then another question popped into my head. "So, if I can't code a personality into them, then that means I can't make them inherently loyal to me."

"That would be correct, my liege." He replied as he sat down in the chair next to me. Well, that was great. That would mean that I would need to be careful; otherwise, I would have an angry monster running around destroying things that I created.

"So, what do you know about the celestial dragon, and the star eater Helios?"

"Well, since they are new creations, there isn't really much to talk about. The celestial dragon has stats that lean more towards a caster but still has formidable physical stats. The star eater is almost entirely metaphysical in nature, and relies solely on magic." He replied after a moment of silence.

I pondered the thought for a second, "Alright, well, a star eater sounds kind of terrifying, and I don't think I want to create something that I have no clue about, So I think I will start with a dragon for now."

Helios shrugged, "That is a solid choice. Dragons scale indefinitely, so if you play your cards right, you will have a formidable ally, much like Aphelia."

I let out an evil cackle as I selected the dragon template for the monster. I couldn't wait to see what I could do with this. Instead of the three-dimensional template that appeared with the gods, this one was just a class selector if I chose to give it one, along with a naming bar. Also along the sides were dozens of potential futures the dragon could take along with its possible appearance.

Some of the dragons were much like my species with the coloring of their scales. Some looked like they were the living embodiment of the night sky. Others were a radiant orange like a beautiful sunrise. Each variation seemed unique, but they all lacked a name or overall stats. Well, almost all of them other than the basic template.

"Helios, why don't they have names yet?" I asked him as I selected the base template, which was the only one available to me.

"None of them exist yet. The system only knows what they look like, not what they are named, or anything else regarding them until they are birthed."
