Within the black void, two men and one woman were present. The first man was "He" whom Cavaron fought. The second man was a purple-haired and golden-eyed young man. As for the woman, she had silver waist-length hair and golden eyes. The three of them were talking to one another.

"I never thought he'd choose to do the most extreme of choices." said the purple-haired young man, "Then again, Cavaron would usually be doing the most unexpected in the most dire of times."

"Still, to think that you would play with his life like that." said the silver-haired woman, "You sure have bad taste."

"Temperance, Tranquility... I now understand why the two of you like him so much, despite being a child of chaos." said "He", "All three of us have literally taken a liking to him, albeit with 'varying' degrees of intimacy."

"He" looked at the woman with a smirk. The woman just smiled.

"Heehee, I won't deny it." she said, "Though, it hurts to see him now."

"Oh? Are you that affected?" teased "He", "Why don't you appear before him again?"

"And put his life through hell again?" replied the woman, "I'll just leave that to my children."

"Or your many daughters." added the purple-haired youth.

"He" and the woman looked at one another.

"Did he just jest?" wondered the woman.

"Has hell frozen over?" wondered "He".

The purple-haired young man just frowned.

"We're just kidding." said "He", "Well, shall we return to our usual tasks?"

"See you, Chaos." said the woman.

The purple-haired young man just nodded at "Him" before phasing out before them.

Alone in the black void, "He" walked away, deeper into the darkness.

Somewhere else, on the vast plains.

The sound of chopping wood could be heard behind a small house. The house, enough for two people to live in, was surrounded by a field of flowers. Behind it was a young man making firewood.

Suddenly, a hole opened up behind him, and a man walked through.

"So this is where you were, you sick bastard." said the visitor, "We've been looking all over for you since then."

"Oh, hey." said the young man, "Sorry about that, I just never thought to tell any of you about the aftermath."

"Sheesh, when they said that they lost your presence, we panicked, then another found a huge blast of your energy scattering all over the place." said the visitor, "Dammit, man, what happened?"

Right then, a young blonde woman with shoulder-length hair opened the door.

This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author's work.

"Big brother, the children are... Oh? A visitor?" said the woman.

"You... You... You..." stuttered the visitor while pointing at the woman, "Huh? The house?"

"Why don't you check it out?" proposed the young man.

The visitor hesitated for a while. When the young woman gestured for him to enter, the visitor approached the door. Inside the house was actually a bigger space than what it looked outside. Inside was actually a small city.

The people within this city were very familiar faces, many of whom were most definitely from other worlds. The visitor had an expression of absolute amazement when he stepped through the door.

"This... How?" uttered the visitor as he looked at the young man who now had golden eyes

The young man entered the city, and the people around him gathered together to greet him. Father, brother, papa, lord, master, and many more titles were used to address the young man. Finally, a small group of men and women were on the other side looking at the young man. The young man approached this small group, and faced his visitor on the far side.

"This, my friend, is my freedom."

Well, that was fairly worthwhile. With its ups and downs, rising and falling qualities... I now have an idea on how the revised versions will be. Oh yes, I will be revising this story, once I get a PC and have a bigger screen with multi-tab capability.

Now, I am wondering about what I should write next. Do I write a lighthearted adventure with a potential harem, or do I write a story with reincarnation as a theme with a potential harem. I say "potential" because I may or may not push through with it since I have a profound hatred for dense motherfuckers.

*reads story*

Dense motherfucker

*drops story*

Apart from those two, I could write about the Ciphers, or I could write about Carne and her home of Onipiliph, I could also write the Cross Arks and the others. I can also go back to Ladenras or Belfron and expand upon their worlds. As for Edeortha, that is a world solely for Cavaron... Maybe.

Then again, seeing as this is Royal Road Legends, I could write about a pseudo-permadeath VRMMO where I could put all of my ideas to better use since, after all, I did say that these stories were supposed to be games when I still had a PC.

Many stories, many characters, many children. Same multiverse, same rules, same laws. Different lives, different interpretations, different legacies.

These are Songs of Legacies.
