Chapter 38: Stairs of Will
Chapter 38: Stairs of Will
Jay let the simulation run at regular speed for 2 days. He mainly let it run normally for that long so that Sol and the other gods could practice their power. Jay had also been creating a couple of rooms within the godly space, as it just kept expanding and he literally had all the time in the world to mess around.
In total so far, he had created he and Sols master bedroom that was tropical rainforest themed as that was Sols favorite place back on the old earth. Then he created a training room equipped with God 10 star grade workout equipment and target practice ai Golems to really figure things out, if it was needed. Then Jay had created a giant forging hall, but because he wasn't skilled in forging yet and no real skills for it were attained yet, he had let sit dormant for a while.
Finally, we come to the last thing Jay recently finished building. While the others were in the training room, figuring out and testing the limits of their new powers, Jay was finishing up after 2 days.
"Phew! Finally finished!" Jay smiled at his own handiwork as he finally finished crafting this little room.
Jay had made a fully kitted out carpentry and crafting room!
Jay smiled at the materials present that he could now use after the update. Now many things were possible, and Jay wanted to create something with his hands.
So Jay didn't even think about it and dove into creating a masterpiece craft.
...
Levi walked out of the training room with the other gods. They had been training in the room for about a week now and had fully acclimated to their new power.
What puzzled them was that their training was only supposed to last for 3 days. After the third day, Jay was supposed to pull them out. The training room was made anomalous with time so every day that passes can either feel like 10 minutes or 10 years depending on fluctuations.
Now that they had stepped out of the room, their godly clocks all immediately synchronized to the planets time clock. That was the moment that all the gods knew they had been in the training room for 7 days!
Sol then found the new room door and walked in, trying to find Jay. See walked in and saw Jay hunched over and sleeping on a wooden desk. Next to him sat a glass container with a small mountain ridge depicted within the glass walls. Their were small specks of rare herbs and trees spotting the small landscape. However most eye catching of all was the glowing, crystal-glass stair that stretched up to mountain peak.
Sol was curious and so she gently shook Jay awake.
Jay suddenly started up! He looked back groggily to see who had woken him up. Then he saw it was Sol and a smile naturally formed on his face.
Sol leaned down next to him and asked,"Why did you let us train in there for 7 days instead of 3?"
Jay's became more alert after hearing that and said,"Its been 5 days?! Oh my God, I'm sorry Sol, I finished designing my crafting room. I wanted to make a small intro item but as I started to create, an idea formed and I just had to make it!"
Sol sighed and then said,"hmph.. look, honey, I know it was an honest mistake, but please don't let it happen again. We were worried that something happened."
Jay looked a little ashamed and said,"I promise to try to not repeat this mistake!"
Sol smiled, gave him a big kiss and then asked,"So, what did you end up making?"
Jay then happily said,"It took alot more than you think to make this little creation work, but it will function correctly now. This was a concept I thought of on the fly but it ended up being so difficult to actually make! I call this [Stairs of Will]."
Sol then asked curiously,"Wait, so this is something you created for the mortals?"
Jay scratched his head and said,"Yeah, I thought the idea was cool.. Basically the user can ascend the stairs, there are 200 steps in total. The stairs are not testing power, or strength, it is simply testing the sentient will! The drive to move forward and conquer a difficult challenge! The higher up you go, the more challenging it is!"
Sol then asked tentatively,"What is the reward if someone reaches the top?"
Jay smiled and said,"A 9 Star Talent!"
Sol was a little taken aback by this but quickly recouped herself and said,"If you think these stairs make a person worthy, then I guess will have to see what happens!"
Jay smiled and didn't explain any of the other things about this staircase, leaving it as a mystery for later. She didn't ask after all!
Jay then gently grabbed the case and brought it out into the center of the room where the projection of earth was lighting up the room.
Jay said,"System place down the [Stairs of Will] here on this main island, in the rainforest called "Praxicalla".
[Acknowledged!]
[Structure had been placed!]
[Stairs are invincible, mountain is removable though, sentient may attempt to remove it!]
Jay smirked and said,"That would be a funny sight of just some floating Stairs! Haha!"
Jay then turned and said to everyone,"Everyone, I apologize about getting distracted with my project. That was truly my mistake. My project was called the [Stairs of Will] and will test a person's purity of heart and their strength of will. They will get rewarded for this challenging endeavor!"
Everyone quickly digested this information! Jay never disappointed with what he made! One awesome thing after another!
Jay smiled as he felt their emotions and continued,"Now, let's get you guys back down their, and then let's speed up the world once more! To a new age!"
