Master of Doom’s Song

Gather round, and listen here, I’ll sing a tale of old

it must have been a dozen years since last this tale was told

all you youngins grew up in this age of war and hell

since the portals opened you’ve been fighting hard and well

There was once a time before those evil monsters came

when being strong enough to lift a car would earn you fame

now you all have powers that are hard to comprehend

even all your injuries take only days to mend

But in this age of monsters from that other world of doom

where battles only end for moments before they resume

there is only one who can be called the very best

once you hear this legend, you can forget all the rest

He was just a hunter like the rest of you, but weak

fame and recognition were not things he’d ever seek

whenever portals opened, he’d defend his home and friends

but victory is not where this poor hunter’s story ends

If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

The monsters of the olden days were masters of their realm

there likely isn’t any world they wouldn’t overwhelm

you cannot imagine just how scary those things were

those wretched “masters of doom” still hurt me to remember

One day as he fought before a portal near his town

ten more opened next to him, and enemies rained down

he fought so hard he lost his mind, but in the end he lost

but for his grief he vowed that they would surely pay the cost

His home and family were for the monsters to consume

victims of the monsters from that unknown land of doom

on that day when everything seemed hopeless and unfair

everybody noticed something different in the air

No one knows if it was fate or some unheard of skill

but from then, there was no monster that he couldn’t kill

all the monsters from the doom dimension that he found

once they caught his eye, they were in pieces on the ground

That was many years ago, so where is that man now

and why were there so many monsters back then anyhow

well, until he came along, the monsters came in waves

legions of those things put countless hunters in their graves

Today when portals open only one or two come out

still they may be strong, but they are fewer, there’s no doubt

this is thanks to that old hunter, who went mad with grief

and did something that anyone would think beyond belief

One day, after dealing with three waves, or was it five

he stood before a portal fairly injured, put alive

without a single word, no single ‘farewell’ or ‘goodbye’

he took a breath and jumped straight into one great portals eye

According to the government, he died in that attack

after all, nobody ever went their and came back

after that day, fewer monsters came through portals now

though no one that you’ll talk to can agree on why or how

But I think that the reason is as clear as it could be

that’s because when portals open, sometimes you can see

far behind the monster that emerges through that door

to the doom dimension is an endless, raging war

Monsters all in chaos, fighting desperately to live

but monsters aren’t a creature any human would forgive

so look into that ‘doom dimension, all despair in gloom

we may have sent those monsters our own world’s master of doom
