Upon my acceptance, the room lit up brightly, then I heard an ancient voice that sounded like it was out of breath, looking at the table I realized it was the orb containing the purple mist, slowly it started to float towards me and it released the mist from within the orb. It began to envelop my black spirit body when I heard the God speak, "I am the True God of Death, with my inheritance you shall recieve my spirit and strengthen yours to the limits of a demigod, with it you will be able to control all that is my power and the body that you shall possess."
My spirit body immediately felt like it was within an inferno, constant burning pain could be felt all over and my vision went black for a moment but then I saw an amazing sight that I would never forget and that, is the birth of my body from the other three gods, while I was merging with the Spirit of the Death God, the massive corpse of the Dragon God began to morph, it sounded like a mountain and its voice was deeper than any I had ever heard, "The body parts of a god never rot, with my body, although it is missing blood and a heart, it shall become the foundation and vessel to your power."
A tall body began to take shape, and then I saw it, the body resembled me from Earth but its features were far more refined and better looking, although there were some noticeable differences, I was a little over five feet tall on Earth, but this body had to be close to seven feet tall, but even more striking than the height or the toned and muscular body was the eyes, one was red and the other was purple, probably to signify the Death and War God. While the hair was completely silver which i guessed signified the Evil God. Then I saw the heart and vial of blood begin to float in the air. The vial opened and all of the blood entered the heart. Slowly, the heart began to move and enter the new body, pumping the blood throughout the body, at which time my inner question was answered.
"With my heart of the Evil God you shall never falter or question your choices in dire times, May the void guide you to peace. And one day clean you of your hatred."
Not even a second after he stopped, a female voice resounded in my spirit body more forcefully than even the Dragon God, a melodic voice and yet it felt like it would slice through anything and everything. "I am the Goddess of War, with my blood, you shall feel the lust for battle and burn with a fighting spirit like no other, use my power to minimize the outbreak of war as much as possible, but at the same time remember this, never grow conceited or arrogant, hard work can surpass talent or blessings, those who grow conceited like the gods that you despise, will fail in the end."
"Thank you, I shall destroy this corrupt problem of a world and rebuild it in the image that you all sought, although, my only question is what about the hero that was supposed to be summoned, will they try to get in my way?'
The voice of the Evil God descended one last time on the brink of dissipation, "You.... were supposed to be the hero.... whos mission was.... to kill the God of Destruction and Demon God... for an unknown reason....remember there are many more than us and the ten corrupt gods... some are evil, some may aid you....farewell."
So I was really supposed to be a hero... Well that is no longer a possibility, someone with better qualifications than me will probably be summoned in my stead. And get in my way, so what does that make me...the Anti-Hero, or the Heros stepping stone? That thought made me shudder. No, I definately won't become anyone's stepping stone, not even a Gods.
Blinding light appeared on my spirit body and I fell unconcious, upon waking up I was naked and within a dark forest in the middle of nowhere. My first thought was to check my reflection, standing up I struggled to walk because I was a spirit body for so long. To my right was a pond and looking at my reflection, it was the same as in the crypt of the sealed gods, I looked to be roughly sixteen years old, and all that I had next to me was a small bag which I assume is the magic bag the sealed gods left behind. Then out of nowhere a single message resounded within my head.
[You have been reborn, the God's Curses all activate unconditionally]
Gahhhh! My body immediately felt like it was going to rip itself apart, and then as if it was forcibly being shoved towards the ground.

Slowly the pain began to increase but then ebb into a constant painful throbbing as I recieved the messages. Standing up slowly, I walked over to a tree in the shade, and after ascertaining there was nothing nearby, I said "Status Open"
[Input Name]
My name... I can't remember it from Earth. Looking out at the water, I saw the reflection of the moon even though it was daytime albeit early morning it seemed. Then I decided on a name, Eradin Silvermoon, now the name might seem random, but to me it holds meaning, under the silver moon i shall eradicate all, it was a simple play on words....sort of...but it made me chuckle. Then another message appeared.

Looking at my status I couldn't tell if it was good or bad, there were ten god curses, which I roughly understood, however there were also some good things, at first I didn't understand my race, aren't I human, but now that I think about it, I am a Mortal soul enhanced by the True Death God, inhabiting a body made of only parts from True Gods born from the void, so in a sense I am like their demi-god child that needs to unlock the skills and power. Scrolling down, it appeared I had two classes clicking on the first one, a message appeared.
[Cursed Hero: The hero that was supposed to be blessed by the gods was instead cursed by them, with seething rage, the Cursed Hero is the opposite of a Hero and as such, all skills will be the opposite of what a Hero learns, in example, at level one a Hero only knows the skill Holy slash then you would learn of the skill Cursed Slash. Instead of delving into the Holy magics, you are more prone to dark magics.]
That is easy to understand, so basically when the Hero i'm guessing comes to this world, they will have the power of light and blessings and I will have the power of darkness and curses. I didn't even need to read the next class as it was self explanatory, as I leveled up and and became stronger, I would unlock more of the sealed gods power... well I guess they aren't sealed anymore but dead now aren't they. Next up, lets see, [Cursed Slash]
[Cursed Slash: Because of numerous curses upon your body, they even penetrate into your equipment and skills, normal slash, but a slight chance of affecting your opponent with a random level one abnormal status affect. The status effects strength and debuff chance increase the more your mastery and level increase.]
Oh! I bet the damn Hero's Holy Slash would probably do extra damage of the holy attribute, but this seems better for a drawn out fight. Further looking down the status page I saw Void and Death Magic, but they were greyed out so it probably meant that I couldn't use them until I level up higher. Then I shuddered, I almost forgot, all magic that wasn't void or death magic, would have a high chance to backlash onto me or fail. No doubt that I would need to put in much more effort to cast magic successfully. Looking at my magic bag, a message appeared.
[Magic Bag of the Sealed Gods, infinite space for anything that is not living Owner: Eradin]
Thats convenient, well then, taking out the equipment, they all started to float in the air and without my consent the Scythe, Pendant, Armor which changed from female to male armor right before my eyes and Cloak all flew straight at me and forcibly melded into my body. It felt extremely uncomfortable and served to only make my aching body throbb even more.
[Successfully Fused, you may now summon them onto your body at a moments notice, they cannot be stolen and shall shatter if you die]
Putting the words to the test, I willed them to appear and a black light flashed on my body, the next moment I was covered in a black, scale-like armor with a black cloak, a giant scythe that had to be close to ten feet tall and a jade pendant, I was basically all black.
[The equipment will get stronger as you level up and they absorb the souls of entities you slaughter, the stronger the entity the faster they can level up.
Damn isn't this sorta broken, from what I can tell, people won't think I am human due to the curses! I'll never fit into society! All I will be good at is slaughtering things! Almost breaking down I then came to the same insane conclusion as when I was a spirit, well the faster I get revenge on the gods, the faster I can live a normal life, yes, that is the answer.
Casually swinging the scythe around, I was reading the traits when another message appeared.
[Scythe Mastery: 1]
Why this happened, well basically the Trait, [Cursed One] allows me to acquire exp from other sources, other than killing monsters. [Draconic Body] basically just increased my base resistance all-round and my bodies physical defenses, it just isn't shown because I haven't fought anyting that has fire attributed attacks yet for example. [Godkiller], I don't know much about, only that some special effect will buff me when fighting anything that has traces of a gods power, up to a True God. And it gets stronger the more I kill such entities. [Regeneration] Self explanatory, it came from having the blood of the War Goddes.
I began walking in a random direction, since I would get lost any way due to the [The God of Crossroads and Destinites Curse], while walking I looked at the most important section of the status page. The blessings of the Sealed Gods.
[Blessings]
[Body of the Dragon God] #1 All Statuses increases by another +10 a level (Luck Unaffected) #2 Every 20 levels, multiply all stats by 1.5 ( Luck Unaffected) #3 Elemental Affinity raised. Skills unlock with level increase
[Heart of the Evil God] #1Cannot be controlled by others. #2 When others would go insane in a dire situation, you remain Icily calm. #3 Dark attribute affinity increases and you can use Void magic without penalty. Skills unlock with level increase
[Spirit of the Death God] #1 Able to sense when someone you are thinking about is close to death. #2 Able to use Death Magic without penalty. #3 Critical hit chance and damage, and over all damage is increased by 20% when wielding a scythe. Affinity with the Darkness attribute raised. Skills unlock with level increase
[Blood of the War Goddess] #1 Increases Hp and Mana regeneration. #2 Proficiency in any weapon is easier to attain. #3 Wounds tht would be lethal to others can be regenerated over time.
These damn gods really wanted me to become a combat junkie didnt't they, not only am I unable to understand the culture of others, due to these curses. I am unaffected emotionally by any death and slaughter what so ever because of the blessings. I continued to walk in a random direction without a care in the world, when I recieved some messages.

Great..... just my luck, appearing before me was a pack of what I can only assume to be goblin hybrids, usually they are fat disgusting looking things right.... well these had what looked like satyr horns and wings as well, which is unusual for goblins right?And all of their average levels were.....seven to nine.
