Dante read over the text boxes for a moment before he clicked the buy buttons for both spells. '2,000 gold gone. I only have 744 small gold left so I need to be conservative for the time being.' He thought for a moment as the familiar feeling of a door opening in the back of his mind came to the forefront of his attention.
Light poured forth giving the feeling of a mother's love, a warm hug, hope that life can endure all rolled into one.
You have purchased the Divine spell, "Heal"...
Your affinity for light has increased...
Your affinity for Radiance has increased...
The flow of light from the door sloowed to a crawl and then stopped as the spell assembled itself there in his mind, 'Wait that's only heal what about...' Dante read as a notice rolled across his vision.
Your purchase of the spell, "Harm" upon further review by your divine patron has been rejected...
I am not death, though all that lives must know it...
I am the Lady of Life and Blood...
You are not ready for the consequences of that spell...
Your gold expended for the purchase of, "Harm" shall be refunded...
Reading the message several times he rubbed his stubbled chin for a moment, 'Back up to 1,774 small gold i guess?' he thought before turning back to the legion. "Don't try buying Harm there are appearently some kind of consequences to buying it. Rosana blocked me from buying it. So, I suppose I will have to stick with training the skills I have for now." He said as he felt something coming from his nose.
Frank stepped forward and placed his hand upon Dante's shoulder, "Dante your nose is bleeding..." he said with some concern.
Reaching up with his hand and touching his face his hand drew back with several fingers having some blood on them.
Taking this as an opportune moment to test something about one of his skill's. Dante tried to activate blood absorbtion.
Laying out his hand for everyone to see the blood quickly vanished into his skin.
Reaching up once more he felt under his nose and found no blood there.
'It seem's the effects of Blood absorption are still accessible even though it fused to become pool of sacrifice. It was probably too much to hope for a level out of that...' he thought before he looked up. "Alright. Who needs this spell the most?"
--------------------------
Dante and most of the legion stopped in the lobby of the hospital where they shook hands with Sasha. However, before as they turned to leave she spoke up.
"I have something to tell you..."
Dante and the legion stopped and turned back to her.
"Soon on your world that same belief that made that spell of your real...Will make so much more real."
As she said that Dante's eyes widened, "What do you mean? How much farther will this go?" he asked his voice tinged with fear.
"I know not. It's different for every world. Old gods coming to life, what was once a fantasy will slowly become a reality..." she said her voice filled with concern. She stepped forward a bit and grabbed Dante by his arm. "Your world will need people like you to save as many people as you can..."
Dante slowly shook off her grip and as he considered her words he asked one more question. "I already have seen such things. This just serves to drive final nail into the coffin. Sending..." Dante cast sending as he turned to look towards the door and back into the zone they had come from. A second later he felt the spell connect
"Huh, what's going on?"
"Hey Motoyasu, it's Dante, listen, you've seen Overlord right?"
There was silence for several seconds.
"I know where your going with this, you just found out what's coming didn't you? Things that people believe in are going to start spawning back on earth..."
"Yeah. Keep an eye out for Longinus. The spear of existance erasing."
"Funny you mention that. That's actually part of my quest to unlock the full power of the spear. It wants me to find the spear of Longinus.
"So you either need to find the actual spear that peirced the side of christ or you need to find the world class item that can erase even gods. That thing is very dangerous, if you copy it never use that function, otherwise you will be gone."
"I know."
"You best pray for lady luck to help you find that thing first. Its scary to think what happens if someone used it against the shield."
Motoyasus' answer was immediate and filled with emotion, "I won't let that happen!"
Dante managed a small chuckle, "May the blessing of blood follow you."
"May luck be your lady."
Dante smiled before he cut the connection. Nodding to Sasha he began walking back towards the door they had come through.
-----------------------
The morgue was quiet.
None were there to tend to the body still left chest open upon the table.
The lights began to flicker as the darkness seemed to coalese in the corner of the room.
The lights went dark.
In that darkness glowing crimson eyes flickered into existance.
The lights returned and there in the corner stood a hooded figure cloaked all in white.
Those insect unfortunate enough to have been within a few feet of the figure died immeditely. All the while those insects outside this fled from it presence.
Death stepped forth silently. Nothing about it made a single sound, from the treading of its feet to movement of its clothing. Nothing could be heard.
Death stood above the corpe that laid upon the table chest left open.
It reached up and brushed the mans face with a skeletal hand.
This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.
The corpse let out a breath it had been unable to expell up until now and the man's head slowly drifted off to a side.
The only sound after that was from Death himself as he spoke in a voice like a whisper of wind. "Rest now, your time is done..."
------------------------------------------------------
Across the world many remembered stories they had heard online. Urban legends, ghost stories that kept one up at night and then there were Creepypastas. Chief among them was the SCP series.
All across the world 10's and 100's of millions of people remembered those stories and seeing how the world had changed they begen to believe that such things were possible now.
They believed if only a little, and that was enough.
A towering gate appeared near the intersection of two great rivers in a clearing of the nearby forest.
From this gate stepped an equally towering figure.
In their hands they held a flame wreathed sword, and upon their back were several pairs of resplendant angel's wings.
The gaurdian pointed the tip of its sword to the earth before allowing the sword to dig into the earth by several feet.
The towering angel rested its hands upon the pommel of its blade and lowered its head in suplication.
----------------------
The system pilon sensed as the fabric of reality was pierced and a gate was formed upon the Earth.
Unusual gate spawning outside of expected area...
Beginning analysis...
The system began to scan over the area where the gate had spawned.
To the sensors of the system it determind a divine entity had stepped from the gate triggering several failsafes.
Analysing all available data to determine identity of offending entity...
Error, Conflicting information detected...
Error Suppressed...
Divine entity identified...
Scp-001: the gate gaurdian, Uriel
Entities Race has been identified as Archangel...
Analysing available information...
Establishing contextual framework...
Analysing all available data trying to determine the best course of action...
Entitiy is deemed to be a threat to the system...
Insuffiecient data for meaningfull measure of entities power...
Bringing full power to bear to eliminate the threat...
Requesting assistance from system administrators should course of action fail...
The system pilon once more began to unfurl its enourmous cannon.
This time it would not renew the world. Instead it would lay this entity and surrounding several miles to waste.
-----------
Uriel looked up as he felt the shifting of manasphere and the buildup of an enourmous amount of mana far above him. Even to a humans eyes the building light was obvious. This would not stop him, for he had been given this task by the father. He would not shame the father with failure. The angel moved its great wings to shield the gateway behind it, awaiting the impending blast. Awaiting his time to give retribution.
-------------
Far from Earth near a world laid to ruin a system a notice appeared before them and so they turned their gaze to the location in question and what they saw shocked them.
"A system pilon is about to attempt a premptive strike against an angel. This is not good. I apparently need to update their threat assesment systems..." They spoke as they reached out across the void to avert this certain calamity.
---------------
From the void a voice spoke, a voice that was old and yet ever new.
The system pilon stopped.
Not since it had been made had it heard that voice.
The voice of the Systems creator.
The voice of the machine ascender.
"Do not attempt to strike down this entity."
No sooner had the voice spoken then its presense receeded into the dark of space.
Order's received from system progenator...
Standing down...
-------------------------------------
A man fell from his chair having just returned from the normal tutorial. Clutching himself as his labored to breath uncertain what had just transpired. He felt no pain and yet he was sure he had been run through by that goblin war chief. His fears were confirmed as he found the hole in his armor where his own sword had been run through him.
Immediately he noticed it. There was no blood.
He fumbled to get the armor off and a moment later he starred at himself in the mirror without the chestplate.
There was no scar. No evidence he had been run through.
Nevertheless he was certain he had been killed.
Remembering somethig he went back through his notifications.
You have died...
You have not made any meaningfull connections to the local places of worship, thus no god has chosen to sponsor your revival...
You will not respawn in the normal tutorial zone...
You have been given a free revival due to your low level and due to having been in the normal tutorial zone...
You cannot return to the normal tutorial zone for 1.44 minutes...
Reviving in place of departure...
He looked upon his computer still displaying the same youtube video he had been watching when the system arrived. "Scp 001, The broken god..."
Had it not been for his increased perception and the light reflecting off of it, he might have missed the small golden gear falling from the sky past his window and into his parents yard. He ran down stairs and out the front door to collect the item.
------------------------------------------------
All across the earth dungeons began to spawn. Always starting with the core first. Some spawned in the remote places of the world. Others spawned around items of great power. Thus they came about and became the keepers of these items.
---------------
Dante and the legion stepped out of the hospital 3 members down but they would make due. He looked left and right trying to remember which direction was the Lions den dungeon. His thoughts interupted by the sound of a candy bar being unwrapped.
Dante turned to see Reo enjoying a snickers when she noticed him starring.
"Did you get that from the system?"
"Uh-huh." she said with her mouth full.
"I wonder if my lady has ever had chocolate?" he mused for a moment before opening the system store and looking for a Hershey's bar.
He was thankful to find that a Hershey's bar was only a small silver each. So he bought two one for him and one to sacrifice to Rosana.
Storing to second away he brought out his pool of sacrifice and hoped it worked like he thought it would. Carefully he unwrapped the bar and the dropped it into the bowl without touching it with his skin.
The fluid in the bowl wrippled for a moment before settling and then he received a notice.
I appreciate the care taken in your sacrifice. I like sweets...
You have slightly increased Rosana's respect for you...
Dante smiled as he shoved the wrapper into his inventory. "Hey Reo make sure you shove that wrapper in your pocket. We probably don't want to be littering in this place. We don't know how the system could react." Dante said as he saw a look of horror cross her face.
Reo looked down and to her right at the candy bar wrapper she had just dropped. Dante's eye's widedned as he thought, 'Fucking really?'
Quickly Reo snatched up the wrapper and stuffed it in her pocket.
Dante turned away from Reo and renewed his search for the dungeon he had seen earlier. As he activated Eagles sight he caught a robed figure half a mile from them stepping out of a dungeon. What surprised him and spurred him to take a closer look was that right after the man exited the dungeon the door turned off. Above it the cleared message appeared along with something else.
Spawning new dungeon. Under that he could see a small timer that displayed about a day counting down.
Dante's eyes fell upon the robed figure as he looked left and right for a moment before reaching into the sleeve of his grey cloak and pulling out a blue sphere that was about the size of a grapefruit.
Dante tried to scan the man and his items with Observation Analysis and to his surprise it worked.
Eagle's Sight has leveled up! Lvl. 5...
Eagle's Sight has leveled up! Lvl. 6...
Three blue boxes appeared before him but he ignore them for a moment.
'It probably worked because of Eagle's sight. That's useful...Why is he looking around?' he thought as the man began to act strangly.
He began to look around as if he knew someone was watching him. A moment later the man looked toward's Dante's direction. The figure stuffed the core back into his sleeve and began running back towards town.
Dante checked the blue boxes for a moment hoping to find an answer and his eyes bulged a second later when he found it.
Dante turned to the rest of the legion and said quickly and calmly. "Jacob you are comeing with me since we are the fastest. I need you to help me catch someone whose running."
"What? Why?" The group all chimed in as Dante raced to quiet them. "I scanned the man and his items. It told me his class was Dungeon Master and that the item he was carrying was a dungeon core."
No more need be said. Everyone had a gleam in their eyes as Jacob stepped forward and said, "Led the way."
