So… what is fate?

Do you know? Or do you think you know?

Well fate is something that binds us all together, like strings of random occurrences with no connection that make two people meet down the line. Like that moment you were offered your first cup of coffee brewed to perfection and the only choice you see is to accept it and have a drink or not. If you don’t due to hearsay of it being bitter and only used for workaholic, then you live a life of loneliness, but if you choose to have a go at it you find that cup with a rich taste and aroma, the drink itself hooks you in and you fall in love with the product, and in the end you meet the love of your life behind the counter in a coffee shop and end up having a long lasting and happy marriage.

Now that is one extreme example of fate, how one thing can change it, but what if you can see fate itself and don’t like the outcome? Well then you are a god, and gods have the tendency to have a god complex and mess in the fate of mortals. So when one mortal due to a lot of malice aimed at him and a crazy chance was given the ability to exist outside of fate and influence to an extent the fate around himself the gods got curious and eventually greedy.

And boy were they brutal. Now to get to that point you must know a few things, first each universe has a cycle. It starts with the big bang going slowly over billions and trillions of years in to cold death then slowly pulls itself back together for around the same period until it compresses itself in to singularity of cosmic proportions. Now this singularity and eventually reaches critical mass soon after and implodes compressing all the matter in the universe down to energy and energy is quite volatile, depending on type, and this one is the type matter is made out of so boom the big bang goes off again.

Well you get the idea it’s a cycle of birth and destruction for all forms of matter life included, but not all forms of energy. Now the question remains… who made the Universe? Well not a clue, but what I do know is that there is another layer to it a type of energy that is in the background, and I aint talking about the temporal shifts of reality we label dark matter and dark energy, no I’m talking about the power of the mind. A power of an ancient mind so old that just by existence and proximity itself gives birth to souls, for all we know that might just be the father/mother of all creation the first true god “Bob”.

Now you might be thinking what Bob has to do with this ramble, well you see when the universe is in its stable states life forms on a lot of planets I mean a lot, density wise not so much but for simplicity sake and lack of universal perception infinity sounds quite close. So even though its one in a billion if you are lucky for a planet to have life and one in a billion that it would develop highly intelligent life like humans and one in a billion that said race would successfully face all of its ups and down on path of galactic dominance and one in a billion that it would survive for said cycle which as stated before are quite long, and maybe just maybe it might survive the whole birth and rebirth cycle of the universe becoming immortal gods of some type.

Now it sounds like I’m getting sidetracked but I’m not, you see Bob is responsible for the birth of the soul itself and in turn consciousness... neat right? Well you might be thinking the old question of who’s first the chicken or the egg? Well the answer is the egg cuz the dinosaurs existed before chickens and they laid eggs and the same is with the soul, everything has a soul even your soulless mother-in-law. Now dirt itself has a soul a cloud has a soul and so on, but it just has enough to say that it does.

So how one gets more of a soul? By having a higher level of consciousness and by having more soul you level of conciseness has higher ability to effect reality itself. Now aint that neat? It is you know why? Cus magic.

Now what has magic got to do with all this ramble? Well let’s go to a story a story of a lucky chap who saved his world by chance, nobody found out about it not even himself, and fate like the supposedly untamed b*tch she is, ruined his life.

So how did it began? Well I can tell you an epic of the likes you’ve never seen, but ill just stick to the important bits, so this poor sap whose name is… hmm let’s just call him Jerry, even though his actual name is better but meh…

So Jerry was a poor sap with a computer engineering degree working at home, he met a sweet girl who worked at a big corporation as a proper secretary or so he though poor Jerry, anyway I’m foreshadowing. Due to luck or twist of fate Jerry created the first AI later to become sentient, and all he tried to do was make a program to reorganize his pc database. But his so called girl was working in a software company and she knew he had hit the jackpot so what did she do? Of course she told Jerry about it and made a lot of money and lived happily ever after.

WRONG !!!

Let’s get it strait Jerry will be the punching bag in this story so don’t keep your hopes up for his happiness.

She did what was popular for women at that age, she married him and used the help of her boss and company to sue him out of everything she knew he had, including the almost sentient AI which was learning from the world and Jerry in particular all that he had left was an old bank account in which he kept money for rainy days, every time he earned money a fifth would go straight in and over the years it amounted to a lot, now due to the whole lawyer thing it became a bit scandal for obvious reasons, and he didn’t have a job at all and not for a lack of trying.

So when 5 years later the first VRRPGMMO fantasy was released, it had all the gigs, spells, dragons, skills real money action house and so on.

So Jerry hops on the gamer wagon, he was mostly playing games at home and living off his saving anyway so why not make some money while he plays? Now the game was a lot more than that. Remember the AI he made? Yup it was used to make the game, and since the scandal was blown out of proportions some people got wind of it and they put pressure on the company, so they either had to share the love around or sink with the ship so to say.

So when the game came out it had 3 factions, all human. Each represented the 3 biggest economical blocks on the planet Europe, America and China the rest of the countries attached to those 3. Stocks, money land all of it was betted and exchanged via the combat in the game, war was now won without a single drop of real blood. And Jerry? The poor sap somehow managed to get himself attached to the SAME company that ruined his life, did he know it yes… did he care? Depends on how stupid a love-struck idiot can be so that’s a no.

And what he was playing you might say and other will ask why does it matter in this third rate game of awesomeness? Well he was just the average spellsword with a knack for history. So you might guess that even though he wasn’t a Korean level player he still was quite good mostly due to him discovering ancient secrets. The best one was a lore peace about the history of the universe, you know Bob and stuff.

So when people found out about it, shady people, they hooked and reeled Jerry with some booty, and what would you know they didn’t even have to try he was already reeling in himself, oh the happiness of fate. So when he didn’t give up the so called lore the easy way and even the hard way, they decided to use soul extraction. But stopped half way and wanted to try soul slavery go figure, and eventually stopped on fate manipulation which was a big nono even for the gods of the game. So how did they got around the rules? Simple by spreading the blame around. they used the blessings and power of 7 different lesser gods that resonated with each other in a totally different way than intended

But it all went both right and wrong. They managed to change his fate but didn’t get what they wanted, Jerry was now banished from fate itself. That mean that all would slowly forget about him except for the players, he was rejected by the worlds energies and couldn’t increase his power the standard way after his avatar reincarnated. But man was he pissed, he was like “I gave them an inch and they want the world” kind of mood. And what’s worse than an enemy which you can’t find but you know that it’s always there?

Well due to reasons he was kicked out to the china block and got the hang of cultivation, and due to the lore piece of Bob he found a new way to get skills, energy of all types and resources to strengthen himself and eventually found a way to weaken the effects of the curse, he became the best assassin and mercenary in the god damn block, nobody knew who he was or where he is, only his handler was known.

And Jerry still wasn’t satisfied with his personal happiness, you know he went mostly for hookers and black jack, mostly hookers but due to the curse, people quickly forgot who he was or that he actually paid so after a lot of research on demonology he got his own personal booty call number, and for those with the lack of geeky personality he got himself a succubus or a lot of them actually, you know the whole no world energies thin he got around? Yeah he learned how to control his power like a god, nobody can take even a whif of his power without his say so and succuby do love taking their meals fresh from the source and when they got nada they got pissed, while Jerry wasn’t such an idiot as to dry his own well he did use his unique arts to compress and improve their power, but scheming highly magically powered bimbos aren’t masters of the soul just arcane.

Only one of those found out about the gift he was giving and after a lot of effort managed to get him to lower his soul guard and WHAM became his soul mate. And oh the blissful days that followed, the good news was that she was half a lust demon and half a pride one, and boy did Jerry break her pride whenever he got the chance. He helped her improve her abilities, strengthen her soul faster, teach her proper magic and he didn’t doubt her for a minute, why should he?

She as hell didn’t even though, the soul bond was meant to enslave him, it backfired due to his stronger soul and literally married them for eternity they could share emotions memories even sensations and not to mention she released his kinky side so a plus for her, for the first time in her entire existence both of them felt happy and at each other’s embrace, they felt complete.

Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.

But as usual that doesn’t last, her so called sisters sold her out to the pride demon class due to her duality and recent improvement to the soul, so pride demons came and kidnaped her. And oh boy was Jerry furious.

You might have been thinking what did jerry become the second time around? Well he went for safety and one hit kills with a bit of army building. So how can he make an army of Almost every one with the exception of his handler slowly forgot about him, necromancy.

He wasn’t the one with the biggest army, or the one with the strongest minions, no he was one with the most adaptable ones, he just said screw it to standard necromancy made his own school loosely based on the eastern ideas of balance, mix that with his unique understanding of souls and you got the scariest and overall strongest necromancer in game.

And when that guy with anger and rage bigger than of a wrath demon comes from the eastern block to the European one with his nigh immune to holly spells undead legion, and if you are a warlock who’s being told to open a portal to hell you damn well do so.

And boy was hell a fun place, long story short he was kinda late as some angels got in to hell to get the hybrid demon with pure soul, courtesy of Jerry, to create the purest of angels. And on his path out of hell the game crashed.

Woe and wonder, so far Jerry has been living in a deep sleep pod that can work for years with a little maintenance without having to wake up its occupant. From all the horror and madness, he had he gave a simple pure smile of happiness followed by a laugh of relief, why?

Because he just found out that it wasn’t just a game, but something much more. All his soul skills, including the bond he had with her were there, and does an assassin do best, he pays his dues. In the whole world he was the strongest due his spiritual training, the only thing that gave him pause was when he searched for a challenge but that is a story for another time.

Six months after the games crash the messages came that earth has given a birth to god and would soon join the system after 10 years.

In these 10 years he was a horror to the world he bound those in power to servitude with soul contracts and even a cult formed around him naming him The Forgotten One a god without fate and the cult leader was the warlock that sent him to hell, fate does work in mysterious ways.

And to top it off he made the first blood line of Earth the Blood Primes, a variation of the vampire that has the typical immortality, blood, dark, death and life affinities with almost no weaknesses. They were made to rule and conquer to become his servants and tools to bring down the gods.

And for the last 2 years of the specified time he brought unimaginable prosperity, he removed corruption from the world governments, subdued rouge elements and made his own laws, in it there was no morality no evil no… good, people were divided on to blocks based on their moral compass, you are a goody two shoes? Welcome to the neighborhood partner have some pie.

You are an anarchist? Welcome to the zone of chaos where law is made by those with power.

With the only law being don’t do to others what you don’t want done to yourself. In other words, nice people are being treated nicely murderers aren’t protected from being killed. Genetic purity programs cut off all kinds of diseases from the gene pool by eliminating the reproductive capability of infected individuals, even though most projects seemed cruel and heartless, they aimed for a better tomorrow for the future generations of that world and the ones to lead it were the Blood Clan. All of the ex cult members personally given power and transformed in to the Blood Primes by the Forgotten One himself.

And when the time came for him to lead his armies to destroy the heavens, he marched with his legions and slew angels and celestials alike, ripping the defense against external treats of his world without care, so what if he kills god and destroy the little protections his world had? That mean that he and his clan were stronger and better suited to defend their world.

For the Goddess who the world birthed had waited for years to present herself worked tirelessly to bring hope and prosperity, for she knew about the harshness of the world, for her very own father was punished for her creation by those he loved exiled by his society and even when he managed to become a semblance of a man he was, once again the world crushed him and the power of the gods exploited to create an abomination of a curse and on that day she lost all traces of him.

Yet on the day the gates of Heaven opened to introduce Humanity to the bigger cosmos and System of Planets the first one to barge in was her father, but not confused and expectant but with a visage of a rage so endless that can only match the cold darkness of space itself. And behind him a legion of the dead with unmatched power that shrugged off even the most powerful of divine spells like they were simple light and Legion of followers numbering millions with evident training for combating angels, and his generals, Blood Demons, she had no record off leading the dead and living alike in an unholy union of power.

With a heavy heart she resisted as best she could and when she finally lost He demanded for her to tell him where his soul bonded was, even though she finally understood the rage he had she had no answers. And for a moment they stood as he finally marched to the Ambassadors palace, a place where the system representative lived the one who guided her and helped he create the heavens.

Yet before they even neared her father fall to the ground screaming in pain, his blood demons rushing to aid with soul magic better than her own, trying to cure whatever pain he had, but it didn’t help and finally he stood still gazing at the endless universe with tears of true pain and sorrow falling from his cheeks and an empty look void of life. And in a moment that emptiness became the endless torrent of burring rage that even she could feel swept by it not to mention his legions. In a frenzy they charged at the palace, not long after the Ambassador flied out of the palace with a baby in his arms and her father at his tale, raging and trying to kill his enemy without regard for his own life or those around him.

And all she could understand was that the Ambassador kidnaped her father’s soul mate from the artificial world due to her purity of soul and perfection of union of two Devil clans and used her as a vessel to birth the perfect hair for his clan. And when the deed was done he shattered her soul never to be recovered.

For all her time in Heaven she didn’t find anything wrong happening even under her nose, and when the portal to the higher realms was penned and the Ambassador fled due to his reduce power and restriction of the lower realms, her father followed without a second thought and this was the last day she saw him.

***

Now that wasn’t so bad of a view point no? So where were we? Oh yes Jerry was being an impulsive idiot for the first time in his life, can’t blame him considering he felt the soul of his bonded break, each and every crack plus some sound effects of despair. Now the story is quite straight forward it includes him going on an extermination quest to destroy the damn angel that took his bonded and made her give birth to that abomination and he would kill it and every family and auxiliary member of said class or family or guild or whatever they ae part of.

And considering the restrictions lower realms have against power as a whole you can imagine the Angel getting a power boost as soon as he left the portal easily fighting Jerry of and surprise, surprise failing to kill him. Now since he is on the big stage and is technically a big black blob on the whole web of fate a lot of gods take interest at him not bad at the moment but it gets worse later on.

So he goes on his quest single-mindedly leaving the management of earth to his own Clan whose leadership gets taken over by his daughter, not to any knowledge of his anyway but everything remains mostly the same back home. And for him it is years of finding clues and hunting auxiliary members for info until he has a plan ready and prepares to build a weapon capable of whipping a 5th circle clan off the face of the system a big breasted, cultivating, blond haired quite muscled bimbo. Now why bimbo again? Cuz she is as bright as a starless night in other words a complete idiot and cluts, other than in cultivation of course.

Now this is one of those lucky encounters that can brighten up Jerrys life and help him get some power yada, yada you get the point he gets lucky but ignores it due to loyalty for his dead bonded… at least until he kills the damn perpetrators. But the doesn’t stop the idiot from falling in love with him at his weakest power levels even, right after getting his ass handed to him by the angle who’s only using one hand, with a baby in the other. She follows him around mostly overpowering him when he tries to get her to leave and in the end, ends up destroying his super power weapon of doom by a total accident, what a cluts right?

Well that actually doesn’t get him killed yet, due to the big boom that resulted the idiot’s clan comes and takes her away, then she kinda gets brainwashed and comes and kills him. Technically she soul controlled and used to kill him due to her connection to him. I mean the guys world is barely 2 decades in to the system and he already makes weapons of mass destruction and he has an unyielding vendetta against you, would you kill him if you got the chance?

Any way he dies but manages to preserve his soul due to his soul training and the “Book of BOB” (awesome name no? though of it myself), anyway. All that is mostly a result of external and direct manipulation of fate of the gods to turn dear Jerry in to a god killer, cuz you know no fate and stuff, then he meets the idiot in his next life and figures out it is not actually her fault, the poor girl tried to kill herself more than once after the “incident” and her clan was “silenced”. But it all works out in the end for her. And he soul bond with her, a man can’t live with loneliness for too long after all.

And they die together at some point, in the next life they reincarnate as twins, due to it being her fist time (hehe get it) she doesn’t remember her previous life from birth but it takes her a while, meanwhile Jerry is going the whole “incest wincest” thing and is driving his new parents ashamed, mad and almost disowns him, not that he cares but she manages to slowly regain bits and pieces of her memories and stuff gest on, they live happy for a few years until the gods find him again and twist the fate around him to turn his life in to a hell. Which in short end up with idiot being totally brainwashed and has her soul memory sealed and it is so well done that as far Jerry knows his second wife is dead as well all that is left is an inactive soul bond and a mockery of his lover so he ends up killing her to the surprise of every one the gods included, and goes on another dark lord adventure of vengeance gains the people who “Killed” his soulmate and send her husk after him.

Well you try fighting four countries and twelve gods and their champions by yourself and well see of you die sooner or later than Jerry so he lost… again.

He kept reincarnating for a few lives and trying to give back his dues but the gods that want him to become their weapon keep torturing him mentally, physically and spiritually every single step of the way and he gets broken down every single time and what they don’t know is, that Jerry has leaned to survive, all they did was allow him to build himself up from the fragments of his, the way he wanted. Slowly but surely he started to use their schemes to forge himself and his soul in to a weapon of destruction unbound and unrestrained.

But alas he was found out before he could finish his training, and the gods forced one of their followers to shed his Divinity and kill Jerry shattering his soul as far as they were concerned they gained quite valuable data from Jerrys torture and in the end he was a failed experiment.

Now that descended Divine or now a demi god hunted Jerry down and killed him injuring a large portion of his soul but in the end even the demi-god of the 10th circle lost to a mere 6th circle mage, that is something unheard of in the whole SYSTEM OF GOD DAMN WORLDS. Yet the demi-god was killed and Jerry managed to get away with a few major injuries. For normal gods those were lethal, for Him? They’ll heal and he knew he was the only one who knew that. So even though it damaged him further he flew his soul to the combat border of the System worlds as far away from the dark spawn as possible and found a new world so far off that the only god was a risen and from the looks of it, it used to be a colony of some kind or an outpost because it is obvious from what he saw that the system was part of this corner for millennia. As for what are the dark spawn? Well…

And on this world is where his new adventure begins.
