Combat Maid Harem

At this point in time, the star system Lawrend was in was very active. Countless asteroids flew everywhere and crashed into the thinking planet.

There were also other planets, but they were dead with no sign of thoughts.

The thinking planet tried to communicate with them, but it realized it was truly alone in this space. Although, it didn't sense that Lawrend was there from the beginning to the end.

…

Three billion years of time had passed ever since Lawrend appeared in this growing star system.

From the space dust that covered the vast expanse to the active star system before him, Lawrend had seen it all. The star in the middle was now releasing a storm of light that irradiated the whole star system.

Unlike three billion years ago, the star system now was much smaller as the space dust gathered together because of the force of gravity.

[Life? What is life?]

All of a sudden, the train of thought from the young Spirit World changed. It started contemplating life. Before, it contemplated its existence, but it now specifically contemplated life as in animals, plants, bacteria, etc.

Lawrend was astounded as it came up with it from nowhere.

"Is this the power of time?"

Lawrend experienced time but he was nowhere as near to the level of this thinking planet. From start to finish, they were in different levels of existence.

Just the first thought of it when it was still a tiny asteroid overwhelmed Lawrend's soul.

[I shall not be lonely any more…]

An aura Lawrend was oh-so-familiar with gathered around the young Spirit World. A gray blur appeared out of nowhere. It stopped and glanced at Lawrend.

It sent a scare down Lawrend's spine as he could tell that the mysterious being smiled at him.

"He…"

Lawrend could only mutter one word before the creator of this universe.

[Young planet, what is your wish?]

[Wish? What is a wish?] the young Spirit World replied in confusion.

In its long contemplation, it had never thought about wishes. After all, it only learned everything from nothing. Wishes were something of a human construct based on their desires.

[Do you want something? I can make it come true.]

Lawrend eavesdropped on the thoughts being sent from the two beings.

[Who are you?]

The young Spirit World was confused why there was another thought before it. It was like growing up alone for so long on an island and suddenly seeing another human.

Of course, the two could communicate because they were using their souls to convey their ideas and thoughts.

[I didn't create you, but you exist because I created where you exist.]

The answer was profound, but the young Spirit World understood it. This being before him was its creator. It had contemplated its possibility before, so seeing the creator in front of him was not that surprising.

[Then… I want to create others who can think just like us.]

The blurry figure nodded its head, and Lawrend could somehow imagine that it smiled.

[I grant you the power to create life on your own surface. Do whatever you wish.]

As soon as those thoughts were sent to the young Spirit World, the creator vanished like a balloon popping out of existence. The whole star system went silent.

A looming power flew from the edge of the universe and arrived in front of the young Spirit World. It was a sea of white light that Lawrend was very familiar with. It was the sea of laws where he got the laws to create his own world.

A myriad of laws descended down to the young Spirit World and imprinted themselves to it. They were like giant stamps hitting the world and marking it. These were the laws of life that the young Spirit World lacked.

Lawrend watched in awe as the white light slowly dissipated from existence. It was just like an illusion.

The Spirit World descended into turmoil. The world cracked apart and red magma flowed to its surface. Catastrophic storms could be seen raging on it as the thick clouds swirled in massive proportions.

Who knew how terrifying it would be to be on the Spirit World's surface?

Time swiftly passed. The young planet revolved once around its star and the changes on its surface abruptly stopped.

"What is this?"

Lawrend heard a voice come from the young Spirit World. It was not a thought, but a real voice made with sounds that propagated through space.

Lawrend took a clearer look and saw a dashing young man floating above the surface as his robe fluttered with the wind. He surveyed the lands and oceans below with a shocked expression stuck to his face.

Lawrend was speechless. It was hard to imagine that a planet managed to gain a human body.

"This is the Spirit World's avatar? He looks so strong."

Lawrend gulped. After the Creator noticed him, Lawrend didn't dare to approach the Spirit World anymore. Who knew if this guy could also sense his existence even if this was an illusion?

"Clever body. I shall use this form to make others like me."

The Spirit World was happy with his new body. He could touch the land, breathe, and be more free. It was better than being a planet that could only watch as it revolved around its host star.

4 Billion years in total.

It didn't take long for the Spirit World to start harboring plants, animals, and ultimately, humans. They were exactly just like the Spirit World's human body. 

These humans recognized the Spirit World's existence. He was their God.

In but another million years, the humans in the Spirit World suffered countless ups and downs. They reached many golden eras, but ultimately collapsed as their leaders most of the time tried to challenge the Spirit World.

He was a God, but they were just Divine Mages.

Their magics were so much different than what Lawrend knew. Each civilization utilized it differently. Watching them develop from afar unintentionally helped Lawrend learn more uses of magic.

But something drastic changed in the next thousand years.
