This is not the main story of Deus. Short stories that are posted here are just side-stories or stories that are inspired by other literary works. PLEASE READ AND CRITIQUE MY POSTS . Please forgive the incompetence, shallowness, amateurish work. I'm a lowly, frustrated writer. My grammar's not good and I have a lot of typos. However, I just can't stop myself from thinking and writing stories. Maybe it's in my blood. ANY VIOLENT REACTIONS, COMMENTS AND SUGGESTIONS WILL BE VERY MUCH APPRECIATED.

I am a fan of Dan Brown, Sydney Sheldon, Steve Berry and of course, JK Rowling, Neil Gaiman and Stephenie Meyer, and even Darren Shan. I read mangas and watch a lot of anime and dramas (is addicted to Asian Dramas). I like mysteries, controversies and fantasies. I'm not that much of a fan of romantic stories but I keep writing them. I write really cheesy and corny lines and titles (must be from too much dramas).

This story was originally inspired by "Curious Play" or "Fushigi Yuugi" by Yuu Watase. That was way back in 2000. As I see more anime and read more books, I wanted it to be bigger than anything else that I have seen.

Thus Deus was born.

Vomica Deus was its first title. It's Latin for "cursed god." However it's too centered on one character only and I didn't want that. If I'm lucky, I'll get a chance to write the real story of Deus.

Thank you for reading... and I hope you don't barf from boredom, cheesyness and corny--ness? Thanks again.

He sighed heavily as he watched them go on about their business.

“Like a bunch of chickens with their heads cut off,” he chuckled.

He shifted in his seat and sighed again, this time louder as if wanting someone to hear that he was bored with what he was seeing. He was bored, but there was nobody to see this boredom.

“And yet, I’ve seen it all before,” he said to himself.

He thought that when he gave the Orsen free will, they would make things exciting to watch. For the first few thousand years, it surely had been exciting. Nowadays, balance was tipping dangerously to one side and outcomes have been too redundant. But no one was noticing it, not even his sons and daughters.

He walked over to his study and looked at his work and found what had gone wrong. This design was applicable before, but now, as evolution becomes eminent, it’s no longer appropriate.

It’s too simple for the complicated universe. The management seemed to be too weak. Humans have gained far too much control. And that gave him an idea.

The Orsen have had their fun, now it was somebody else's turn.

His children have been too lenient on these beings. Some have been too idle for far too long. What was the point in making them so powerful if they won’t be able to show it?

It was time to make a few alterations in his design. The world needed renovation; this is after all, a new era.

He looked at the clock.

“Perfect timing,” he mused.
