Within a game played by the gods there was much fun and merrymaking to be found by both the gods and the demons and god in particular was having fun. This was his game afterall, and this was a chance for everyone to play the game of life the way he wanted it to be played without the meddling of any of the other gods.
"This was going to be fun." he thought. That was the world of Armageddon Online, built in the gaming mutlverse of "The New World." the place that the gods decided to play their own games, and tell their stories. God himself played a character aptly named "The All Father" in that game world.
There were few consequences to the way that the games were set up there and even worlds similar to our reality were part of that same gaming reality as was the case with "Wolves of Asgard." which is but another game within the multiverse of "The New World."
Armageddon Online, was a game that God decided to make with his angels and demons to act out the bloodiest parts of their history without the many consequences and loses of the past. All in all it was just bloody fun and if God loved to do anything in across all of his personalities and forms was to game.
The world is at war between the factions of heaven and hell and at the center of it humanity's last bastion is the hub world of the Ark. At the center of the ark lies Arcanium a city dedicated to learning about the vast histories of all the worlds of angels and demons. It's truly netural territory without so much as a word of conflict, a neutral zone agreed upon by the forces that be both Michael and Satan.
Meanwhile, in one of the realms of Armageddon online Michael and Satan were at war with each other. Michael, was the leader of the angels. The angel with the power, nobility, and dignity of sun who wielded a golden sword with the most ornate and elaborate of decorations and runish markings. Enochian and some Asgardian runes engraved on a heroic broadsword untarnished by the blood of the many demons that he slew in what he surely must have believe was righteous combat.
Satan on the other hand had a bulls head a red scaled hide and six devils wings protruding from his back. His form that he wore into combat was at least twice Michael's height and Michael was not short by any means. No, Michael himself was a verificable giant of a man who stood at 6' 8'' whilst Satan stood there in all of his demonic presence at 13' 6''' and had an aura that could silence and slay any man, angel, demon, or beast that dare be foolish enough to face him.
Michael stood there in all of his righteous glory and Satan was there in all of his demonic awe. Michael stood there stoically ready to do the deed of felling the demonic beast that Satan had become and Satan stood there ready to defend himself to the last and to cast his once brother Michael into a hell of his own design.
"Brother, I request that you abandon your foolish ways and come home with us. God is not that unforgiving that he cannot see the good in you still." Said Michael to his brother, his face showed nothing but good intentions too bad his brother was having none of it.
"Come home, with you? Don't make me laugh brother, I've rejected father and his so called peaceful ways a long time ago and I chose to rebel with my ilk. The demons are my people now and their one wish is to have righteous vegeance against god." said Satan.

Michael raised his sword to his brother, igniting the [Flame of the Everlasting Sun]. The two circled each other knowing that every move would be their last. That they would lose their mortal forms and would have to flee in their celestial forms for Millenia recovering the prana that was necessary in order to come whole and phyiscal once more.
"Even amongst the demons there are those who are sympathetic to the all father brother, and I suppose even you must have a sore spot for dear old dad." Said Michael, his eyes held just a little bit of sadness for having to fight against his brother, but he knew that he had to do what must be done.
"They are deluded thinking that they can return to heaven. Father is an arrogant and foolish god, the demons who think they'll let them back into heaven are simply deluding themselves. Father is too full of himself to let anyone back into heaven." Said Satan, gnashing his sharp dagger like teeth and readying his claws. Unlike Michael, he liked using his full physical strength, the feeling of killing someone with his own teeth and claws was something that he loved and relished the sensation of. He loved the feeling of the kill. He readied his skill [Claw of the Devourer.] His claws glowed with a fiendish red aura almost like a magnetic field was covering his claws.
Michael knew one thing, he could not let those claws touch him, not if he valued his life. Those claws would absolutely prove fatal.
"You'll regret, the day you decided to abandon us and rebel Satan. Have at you you vile cur." Said Michael raising a gleaming sword with the power of the Sun down onto the demon Satan. "You'll have your last day yet... this was decided long before when you decided to go against the word of the father." Said Michael.
The two of them crossed sword and claw and when the blow was struck Michael had Satan pinned down by his sword. The fiend's life points were rapidly draining and yet he was almost happy he was defeated. He liked the role he had to play as the end game's boss but there was something fun about being defeated too even if Michael was the first one to do it since the games creation.
"You foolish younger brother," said Satan. "Father has decieved you with his lies, if anyone is to be a demon I believe that it is he. He is neither pure nor saintly but bent on war and destruction. As the judge of all of creation I am the one that has want of stopping him."
"Demon, look at yourself Satan. If you have not become a demon I do not know what to call you." Said Michael. "You're surely a sight for sore eyes, yet you still have a certain beauty to your demonic form, a noble vestige left of your once angelic heritage.
"Liar, Deciever, how dare you speak of the father this way." Said Michael. "Enough, of this talk it is time that I had away with you." Said Michael, keeping Satan pinned in place with a sword through
"See for yourself. Father is the ultimate demon. All of us are made in god's image because there are many sides of god. Wrathful, Merciful, these are all side of god." Said Satan.
With that Satan's life points drained to Zero and he headed back to the respawn point.
"Thank God I saved before testing out this scene." Said Satan.
"You did good work, son." Said God.
"Thanks Dad!" Said Satan. "I hope I managed to do you proud."
"You did, I hope that the mortals who get to play this game think it's as fun as both you and Michael think it is.
"Yeah... dad, it was a lot of fun. Old Sam and I will do you proud as the faction leader of both sides. We hope that Samyaza gets here soon to play his role as the leader of the neutral faction, the Nephilim."
"You know him, your brother is probably busy watching over and learning about the humans of all of the worlds."
"Anyways,, how about the three of us catch a movie later in our human forms." Said Satan.
"I'm game. Sounds like a lot of fun." Said Michael.
"Sure, but you too are paying for yourselfs" said God.
That was how the world of Armageddon Online got set up for us mere mortals and how the main character of this story got roped into the whole thing, but he doesn't know that yet. He'll have to overcome many trials and challenges as the first human or werewolf to beat the game of Armageddon Online.
