Orion no longer looked at his world the same way.
He stood in the void, silent, gazing down at the planet Azdora.
Everything seemed smaller now… simpler… more fragile.
That feeling he had carried for so long hadn't faded.
He no longer saw himself as an absolute creator.
He was… a being who needed to grow stronger.
His gaze fell on the humans.
Adam.
On Azdora's surface, chaos ruled.
Humans huddled around a single fire, but there was no order.
Voices overlapped, movements were random, hands snatched leftover food without thought.
One grabbed a piece of leftover food from another.
Another shoved someone violently.
A third tried to take both pieces.
No understanding… only raw, primal greed.
Adam sat by the fire, watching the mess.
He didn't move.
He just… observed.
His eyes scanned every action, every gesture, analyzing what was happening.
Then he stood.
Slowly.
He walked toward the man holding two pieces of food.
Reached out… and took one.
The man froze for a moment.
He looked at Adam… then at the food.
And he didn't resist.
Adam didn't look at him again.
Instead, he handed the piece to another man… sitting farther away, watching without coming closer.
The process repeated.
One takes.
One eats.
One waits.
Gradually… something began to change.
The humans didn't fully understand, but the chaos slowed.
They started observing.
They began following.
But—
It didn't last.
A stronger man approached.
He looked at the food… then at Adam.
He didn't stop.
He reached out and grabbed leftover food directly.
Then sat down as if nothing had happened.
Silence fell.
All eyes turned toward Adam.
Orion leaned forward slightly, observing.
"Interesting."
Adam didn't react immediately.
He looked at the man.
Calmly.
Then he stepped forward.
Step… step.
He stopped in front of him.
Reached out.
The man ignored him.
He took a bite of leftover food.
Then—
Adam yanked it from his hand forcefully.
The man froze.
Then suddenly shoved Adam backward.
One step.
Adam didn't fall.
But he stopped.
Silence returned.
Everyone watched.
Adam raised his head slowly.
Looked at the man.
Then… turned.
Returned to the fire.
Sat down.
As if nothing had happened.
The man laughed.
A short, provocative laugh.
He leaned closer.
Reached toward the fire… to take another piece of leftover food.
And then—
Adam acted.
Calmly.
He plunged his hand into the flames.
Grasped a burning torch.
He didn't hesitate.
He didn't fear.
He didn't stop.
The man looked at him… then laughed again.
He didn't understand.
Then—
A scream.
A sharp, piercing sound tore through the silence.
The flame scorched his face.
The fire burned a part of his skin.
The man recoiled violently, falling to the ground, screaming, thrashing, trying to remove the pain.
A faint smell of burning filled the air.
Silence.
Everyone froze.
No one moved.
No one approached.
Eyes widened… not in understanding.
But in fear.
Adam stood there for a moment.
Watching.
Expressionless.
Then… he tossed the torch aside.
Turned.
Returned to his seat.
As before.
As if nothing had happened.
But everything… had changed.
The humans no longer moved recklessly.
Hands no longer reached out without thought.
No one advanced blindly.
Heads lowered.
Bodies stepped back slightly.
The fire… was no longer just fire.
It belonged to someone now.
Above…
Orion watched silently.
This time… he didn't smile.
"Hmm…"
Something was taking shape.
Not just chaotic survival.
But… order.
At that moment, the system interface appeared.
[Progress Registered: Beginning of a Social System]
[Reward: +5 Divine Energy]
Orion glanced at it for a moment…
"Only five…"
Then fell silent.
He turned back to Adam.
Quietly.
"Seems like… things are finally starting to
