Shi Pianpian played a little city-building game called The Fall of the Gods.
In the game, she was the Creator who forged the world and the Mother Goddess of every race.
Even the most vicious, bloodthirsty monsters would suppress their nature and stop killing for her. Even the most emotionally aloof spirits would be overjoyed just to have her pause beside them.
Apart from the strange news reports of disasters that appeared every time she created a new race, making it hard for her to enjoy the game, the experience was quite pleasant.
At the end of the game, she offered up her divinity and successfully reached the ending. Just as she was getting ready to head back to school, the school issued a suspension notice.
[Attention, students. Due to the school being overrun by a Class B ghost, the Drowned Hungry Ghost, classes are suspended until further notice...]
Looking at the notice on her phone and the blurry pixelated photo attached, Shi Pianpian's eyes widened.
Wait, wasn't that thing a monster she'd created in the game? How did it end up in the real world?!!
That day, all the Creator's creations sensed their god awakening.
[I want to see Them. I want to be the first to see Them. I want to see Them right now.]
[I love Them so much, love, love, love, love...]
They went wild with joy, desperate to see Them. They fought each other to be the first, and went on killing sprees, drenched in blood, if They so much as frowned.
[Please use us,]
they said.
[You were once burdened by the world and lost your divinity, falling into the mortal realm. Now the whole world should repay you for your suffering.]
[Please use us to destroy the world!]
Shi Pianpian: Are you insane?! I was perfectly happy playing games and eating snacks. Why would I destroy the world?! All of you, back! Back! Back!
In today's world, monstrous beasts run rampant and evil spirits are everywhere. To protect humanity's defenses, human commanders lead organizations of people with supernatural abilities, hoping to secure a safe haven for humanity.
But the power gap is overwhelming, and humanity has fallen into despair and panic.
Then, suddenly, everything changed.
The Creator, in the form of a young girl, was as pure as white jade. She stood still, and grotesque, terrifying ghosts and demons prostrated themselves at her feet, praising her greatness in strange, grating voices.
But she merely furrowed her brows in a melancholy frown.
"Shh. Be quiet."
And so the whole world held its breath for her.
