Chapter 18: Chapter 17: "How I Accidentally Created a New Kind of Life... By Forgetting to Turn Off the Kettle"
Scientists spend years creating a new form of life: experiments, research, genetic engineering... And me? I accidentally created a new kind of life... because I forgot to turn off the kettle. Welcome to my world, where even a forgotten breakfast can lead to a global catastrophe.

(Royal Palace - Morning)
You already know how my morning begins. BOOM! - AKKI, GET UP! - my permanent adviser barked, throwing a boulder at my forehead. I jumped out of bed (still invisible). - WHY ARE YOU STILL WAKE ME UP LIKE THIS?! I SAVED THE UNIVERSE, CREATED CULTS AND BECAME THE PRESIDENT OF ANOTHER DIMENSION! - THAT'S WHAT I'M BOOMING FOR. IF YOU ARE NOT WATCHED, YOU WILL BRING AN APOCALYPSE OVER A BOWL OF SOUP. — …That's offensive. And true.
[The "Ignore Reality" skill has been raised to level 7.]

(The beginning of the disaster - the kettle and oblivion)
After a stormy awakening, I decided to make some tea. I put the kettle on, but then Zalira ran past and shouted: — "Akki! There's a dragon race! Let's go watch!" — LET'S RACE!
…I forgot to turn off the kettle. [Error recorded. Possible consequences.]
Ah, the system. You decided to remind me of my "genius" here too?

(Return and shock)
When I returned a couple of hours later, I found strange purple steam pouring out of the kettle. And... this steam began to move. ITSELF. — Um... the kettle? The steam condensed into a shape… and turned into a small creature with eyes. It looked at me. — "DADDY?" — …What?!
[Congratulations! You accidentally created a new life form: "Chaipukhi".] [New title: "Father of Chaipukhi".] [Effect: +100% chance to revive random objects.]
…Of course. Of course.
(The Teapuhs Take Over)
A few hours later, the Teapuhs multiplied. How? I don't know. Small, furry creatures everywhere, hissing like a kettle on the stove. They began… building a civilization right in the kitchen.
Built castles out of sugar cubes.
Declared me their king.
And even threw a "Great Brewing Feast."
I just wanted some tea…

(The Advisor is shocked - classic)
The Advisor flew into the kitchen, seeing the army of Teapuhs. - "AKKI, WHAT IS THIS?!" - Um… my children? - "ARE YOU SERIOUS?!" - By accident… - "OF COURSE, BY ACCIDENT!"
[Chaos Creation skill increased to level 100.]

(The war begins… WITH THE TEAPUHS)
Everything was relatively calm until one Teapuh proclaimed himself "The Emperor of Tea Leaves" and decided to… DECLARE WAR ON ME.
— "DADDY! YOU'RE TOO SOFT! I'M IN CHARGE NOW!"— "You're my breakfast, not a dictator!"— "ARMY, FORWARD!"
The strangest war in history began.
I fought an army of tea bags.
The advisor threw boulders at the Teapuhs.
Zalira simply burned everything with fire (she was enjoying herself, by the way).
(Epic battle… with a teapot)
The Emperor of Teapot climbed onto a huge teapot and started shouting: — "SUBMIT OR BE BREWED!" I grabbed a spoon and shouted: — NOT IN MY KITCHEN!
Epic battle: a man with a spoon versus an army of Teapuhs.
An hour later, I won. How? I just… turned off the teapot. And all the Teapuhs disappeared. Because, as it turned out, their lives depended on boiling water.
[Congratulations! You defeated the army of Teapuhs.] [New title: "Winner of the Teapot Riot".] [Effect: +50% to the ability to accidentally win.]

(Epilogue of the day)
I was sitting in the kitchen, finally brewing tea. The advisor looked at me and sighed: — "You saved the world again?" — Yes… by turning off the teapot. — "I quit." — No, don't quit! — "...Damn."

(End of chapter I thought so but...)
I wanted a simple life of a miner. Now I am a king, a revolutionary, a dragon's husband, a god, the savior of the universe, the president of a dimension and... the winner of the army of Teapuhs. All because I forgot to turn off the kettle.
(Chapter Expansion)
After defeating the army of Teapukhs, I thought I could finally enjoy a quiet life. But as usual, my plans were ruined. The next day, I woke up to a loud noise in the kitchen. I went downstairs and saw that the Teapukhs were back! They were here again, but this time they were bigger and stronger.
"DADDY! WE'RE BACK!" The Teapot Emperor shouted, sitting on a huge teapot. "YOU CAN'T STOP US!"
I sighed and grabbed a spoon. "Well then, back to battle."
This time, the battle was even more epic. The Teapukhs used new tactics and strategies, but I was ready. I used my skills and experience to defeat them again. In the end, I turned off the teapot again, and the Teapukhs disappeared.
[Congratulations! You have defeated the Teapukh army again.] [New Title: "Invincible Winner of the Teapot Riot."] [Effect: +75% to the ability to win by chance.]

(Expansion Epilogue)
I was sitting in the kitchen, finally making tea. The advisor looked at me and sighed: - "You saved the world again?" - Yes... turning off the kettle. - "I quit." - No, don't quit! - "...Damn."

(The end of the chapter is now for sure)
I wanted a simple life as a miner. Now I am a king, a revolutionary, a dragon's husband, a god, the savior of the universe, the president of a dimension, and... an invincible winner of the Teapukh army. All because I forgot to turn off the kettle.
