Chapter 1315 I Moved On
Yeah, I gave up on the carving thing after a week.
Eris\'s talent with her hands is just beyond god-like, which I attribute to her skills with the sword and cooking.
It\'s not that I\'m jealous of her, I just felt that it was a little bit pointless for me to pursue it in front of her so I decided to find something else to do.
I could, after all, become instantly perfect at anything I do if I wanted to, but that would take the fun out of it so there\'s no way I would do that.
If you are already perfect, there\'s nothing else you can improve on and you\'re going to get bored.
Speaking of which, I heard there were some fights going on between the gods for Iris and myself elsewhere again. I guess Iris\'s Ending of their sense of conflict was only temporary and it was returned after they left.
I figured that since it wasn\'t taking place above us, I did not need to care.
Oh, and Tsuki and Elaria decided to publish their manga for all of us to read, which I\'ll admit was quite interesting to read.
"Ara, ara? What is Master doing this time?" Iris asked.
I looked up from my notebook, "I got a little inspired by Tsuki and Elaria so I thought that I might try writing a story of my own, though in a more novelesque way."
"Ufufufu~ That\'s interesting~ What is the story about?"
I showed her the blank pages, "I don\'t know yet… I\'m still in the planning stage."
"I see~ Ara? Is that Master\'s plan to create a clone of yourself?" Iris gestured to something behind me.
I looked back at the small egg I had created recently, "Yep. It\'s… Progressing. Not as fast as I would like it to but at least there is progress."
Iris tilted her head at the egg, "Hmm… Master is… Cloning your memories into this thing?"
"Mmhmm, so it functions as a sort of duplicate of me. The problem is that I would need to replicate all the memories I have since the creation of this universe. And even with this speed, it might take a while."
"Ara, does Master not run the risk of forgetting who you are in that case? And would there be a conflict with which one is the real you?"
"Oh, I took that into account as well and looked through all possible futures to make precautions against that. This would merely be a container, not a living organism so there\'s no chance of that happening."
Not gonna lie, when I looked through the future with my omniscience, quite a number of the possible futures was this thing gaining sentience and trying to take over as the \'real\' me.
For some reason, that other me chose to be a female and then the conflict was always resolved when we ended up sleeping together.
Yeah, it was a route that ended in selfcest so I did my best to avoid such a fate.
If my girls ever wanted to experience selfcest or something, I could do that anytime without resorting to something like this which might put the rest of the universe at risk unnecessarily.
Iris giggled, "Ufufufu~ I see Master is already aware of the dangers~ In that case, I shan\'t meddle unnecessarily~ But what is Master planning to do in the meantime?"
"You mean while I\'m still stuck here and unable to leave for long periods of time?"
She nodded.
I shrugged, "You already know I\'m just looking for things to occupy my time with so I don\'t need to rely on things like the festival from earlier to stay entertained I guess?"
"Ufufufu~ Thus the hobbies I see~"
"Mnnn… I\'m just trying to write something now. The others all found their own things to do so why shouldn\'t I find my own? Lian Li took up farming; Manami started gardening; Eris took an interest in handicrafts; Diao Chan is… Well… Finding new sexual kinks…; Kiyomi started her own aquarium; Brendan started his own herb garden; Elaria and Tsuki both started drawing manga. There\'s also Lilith and her sisters who… Well… I don\'t know what they\'re doing but they\'re at least doing something."
Truth be told, I\'m quite glad that they have found new hobbies for themselves and a few of them were quite surprising. I never knew Lian Li had an interest in farming and Kiyomi being keen on raising aquatic animals, even if they were all just projections of their domains at the moment.
Nothing can grow normally here because of the Origin Energy in here after all so it\'s all just a simulation for them right now.
I\'m still working on controlling it so that mortals could be able to come in here as well, but gathering all the leftover Origin Energy saturated in the air is taking quite a while to accomplish.
I\'m estimating at least a year or two before the place is sufficiently cleared up enough for mortals to come here.
The good thing is that we\'re not really in a rush and I\'m still able to go out and visit our old World from time to time so it\'s not a big deal.
That\'s why… The only problem now is…
"Finding something to occupy the time Master has in between?" Iris completed my thoughts.
I nodded, "You know how sometimes you might read a story and think that you can do a better job or even just fantasise your own version of it? It feels so easy until you actually have yourself sit down in front of a blank piece of paper and be tasked to actually write it… All the ideas you initially had, all the fantasies you have thought of and all the promises you might have made yourself… All of that just go flying out the window."
And this is precisely the situation I found myself in after reading my little sisters\' manga.
"Ufufufu~ What kind of story does Master wish to write?" Iris asked.
I sighed, "That\'s the problem… I don\'t know. I only wanted to start something but I have no plan. There are so many possibilities, but how do you choose one amongst them?"
"Perhaps Master could start something similar to little Elaria and Tsuki\'s?"
I shook my head, "I\'d rather not… No offence to them but as interesting as their story is, it\'s not something that I wish to write about…"
She then tapped her chin with a finger, "In that case… How about Master just write about your current life? I think it\'s pretty interesting, right?"
I raised an eyebrow at her, "Really? I don\'t really think it\'s that special though? All I\'ve done so far is pretty normal."
"Ara, ara? I highly doubt there is anyone out there that would agree with Master\'s opinion of your own life~ You are Origin, there is nothing that is normal about Master~"
Ugh… It sounds like a bad thing when I hear it like that… Perhaps I could try it out… But I still don\'t really have the confidence to do it properly yet…
Ok, let\'s just try that out for now! It\'s not like I have anything to lose and neither am I rushing for time either!
But now there\'s another problem…
Where do I start?
