《DGEGS: Death God Entertainment Gaming System》 Chapter 1 ~ Death & Rebirth ~Normal fonts like this are talking normally. WhileItalic fonts will be thoughts of the main character.Ding the system will remain normal as if talking to the main character. () What are within, are the actions of the people around the Main Character. I''m trying some new things in this novel so it may be difficult at the start. Leave comments below so I can improve on this style of writing. DGEGS: Devil God Entertainment Gaming System Chapter 1: (Lighting flashes through the sky above an mountain surrounded by Heavenly fog. Left one feeling as if the world itself is grieving.) Clash (Atop the mountain, within an room where the laws of the world were the strongest. Lay a man, if possible to call him that, breathing slower and weaker each passing moment.) ''So, this is the end of my journey. *sigh* I always thought I would break through that final limit. So close, yet everything that I have built all this time will be left without a proper successor. My students, I trust them with my life and believe that they''re ready to keep moving on without me. Yet, *hahaha* they guard themselves from each other and push themselves into a power struggle.'' Clash (The old man looked with his profound eyes, that seem to know the limits of the world and heavens itself, towards a grand hall filled with his students and their disciples.) ''Haaa how a millennium just flew by. How it flew by while I was busy with running this Sect. In the end, I couldn''t find a proper successor that could surpass me and suppress all outside forces. All I could do is divide my territory into 7 powers for my students. Even while on my deathbed I made all 7 of them swear an oath, to the Heavens and their soul, to never bear arms towards one another. Once they agreed I could feel the separation of my soul and its process of dissolving speeding up.'' Clash (With his eyes he could see that they are waiting for my death to begin their plots and schemes to take control.) ''They think that can fool this old man''s eyes with their petty tricks when they swore the oath. If they would have truly swore without schemes or tricks they could have gotten what they desired. All I wanted was to see the purity that I once saw in them even if it is a little. However, I guess it is the failure of , I, their master for letting them fall to such a scale.'' (Sadly looking away from the scene before him. Knowing all too well that my grand-disciples will soon be broiled into an succession war for power) ''If I could go back to those simple times with you again. I would leave everything for you''. *hahaha* "You said I would regret my choice later in life. I guess you''re right James everything was for not. Everything was pointless and void of any joyment or feeling of happiness." Clash (At this moment the old man no longer had any of the 5 senses. The only thing he notice now were the roar of thunder announcing his end) Unknown voice: "If you could go back would you cast aside your future, free will, and the future that could have been. You''ll forever be at the beck and call to another power. What would your answer be...." (This deep hoarse voice laced with a feeling of acquinity spoke directly to the soul of the man without any possible resistance. One must remember that the old man may be at his end but he is still a peerless powerhouse in the known reality.) Clash (Knowing alot about the laws/rules of reality. The old man knew that at this moment his body has already died and his soul was about to disperse.)Stolen novel; please report. ''Must be my last thoughts before passing...hun... even so, I''ll give and do anything'' Clash (Through the void of nothingness the old man could see an rift forming and greater laws of time and space shifted to an unknown rhythm.) Unknown voice: "Kid, I''ll grant your wish just because I''m a bored God of Death. I want to see how you''ll spend your second life. I''ll even throw in a little gift and see what fun will happen to ya...*hahah*. Remember if you don''t let me enjoy myself you will regret ever making a deal with me." Clash Ding* "ID: DGEGS20194 activated... Processing.... Intergrading.... Opening passage... Death God Entertainment Gaming System User Number 20194" Clash Ding* "DGEGS20194 transferring data of soul... Welcome to Death God Entertainment Gaming System... We are not responsible for loss of memory, destruction of soul, or total body imprisonment for problems occurring during soul fusion and transfer. May you bring enjoyment to our Lord." ^.^ Clash ''Wait..'' (Blacks out) "Over the years there has been many different types of theories that explain the creation of reality. One, the scientific theory of the Big Bang. Second, things like Chinese essence or so called God ascension theory. Lastly, of the major theories that I want to talk about is the dream or computer/digital theory." (In a simple 20 x 25 yd room with checkered flooring alternation between white and light brown. Walls painted with a light creamed color and a white board in the front of the room. Along with a project mounted to the ceiling. This room was filled with about 20-25 youths. With a 30 year old woman in front of the room pointing at the projection displayed on the whiteboard.) ''Where is this? What''s going on? Hold up, hold up here; why am I here. This cannot be a rebirth can it? No, it''s more like a temporal shift or maybe soul timed transference. However, all of that is not within my abilities or that on anyone in the current Era of Man. Maybe in the Era of Elves or Dragons, no, not possible either they are basically bonded by the orders of the Heavens. Heavens, right Gods or Devils.'' Ding* "That is correct. Our dear Lord is the highest and most talented God of all. Feared and loved by all, the wonderful, glo~rious, God of Death." ^.^ (The 30ish old lady looked at the clock to the side of the room. Noticing the time she turned off the projector and turned on the lights.) "Alright, we''ll end it here today. Remember for next class ya''ll must research a certain topic about creation of your choice and bring an outline for your paper. This will count for 20% for your overall grade. Even if Texas allow AP students to bypass the pass/fail requirement for extracurricular activities it will still affect your overall GPA. " DingDingDingDing (Distinct chatter of students) ''Calm down and think a bit. This is just a break or shift it doesn''t matter either way. Even if it is a different reality from the normal one from which I came; this is now my reality. From what I can remember, this is a history course in my sophomore year in High School. *HaHaHa* right I remember this is the course that snake like bastard and I shared.'' "Hey Alec, Alec! Alecccc!!!" ''Speak of the Devil and He shall appear.'' (A young man about 16 years old, with a slim build around 5''10. Even though one would think he would look weak with this body type but David still gave off a feeling of strength. One can see the awakening masculine charm through his youthful appearance. Even the angular fringe hairstyle with his light brown hair gives off the feeling of wildness to highlight his budding confidence in life.) "What do ya what David?" David: "Just wondering why you''re spacing out. We need to go to Mrs. Terry''s Pre-Calculus course. You know how she is about arriving on time." (He turns around and begin to walk away) "Hurry up it''s on the other side of the school and we only have 5 minutes. How the hell can they expect us to get to where we need in 5 minutes while also fighting everyone else in a narrow hallway to our next class." (Gathering my materials quickly and following David) ''Such a simple life. It''s been so long since I had such a burden free existence. Hey, Ding, Dingy, Little Di. You there?'' Ding* "....." Did something happen during the transfer. "Yes" ''Let''s get straight to the point. What can ya offer for me and your purpose?'' Ding* "In this world, from what I understand. I am an interface that allows you to grow, learn, evolve, and protects you in certain instances. Like in this world games I keep your progress, allow you to purchase in store items, and most importantly the quest menu. First two are explainable by themselves, since you original came from here, you know them better than myself. While the quest menu is where our beloved Death God places tasks you must accomplish." (Feels of warmth coming from right hand. After feeling the strange warmth I take look and see a skull wearing a golden crown inlay with three jewel in the center surrounded by white lotuses) "Hey, Ding, What is this symbol?" Ding* "That is the Nobel mark of our lord Death God ^.^ It is also the origin of the system. All you need to do is pass your thoughts into the symbol to access the interface. To see what our lord has given you for his entertainment. " **Remember to leave a comment below. Ideas and suggestions are welcomed** Chapter 2 ~ Understanding ''Passing my thoughts into the symbol.'' (Begins to concentrate and focus onto the eerie symbol on my right hand) David: "Man going to C hall from S Hall is a pain. Especially having to go to the second floor. (Julting a bit and turn his head a bit to look at me behind him) Oh right, have you and Michal been doing well? I keep telling ya that bastard is not as good as you think. If he cheated on you once he''ll do it again. It''s better to just kick that scum male to the curve and look for someone else." ''If I wasn''t reborn and knew he was a two faced snake like bastard. I would at this moment feel like he really cared about me. Unlike my last life where I fell for the ''friend to everyone'' aura he gives off. Where it let''s everyone put their defenses down but that is where it''s terrifying especially when underneath that pure innocence front is a cold calculating man.'' "You''re right. I should''ve cut off contact the very first moment he cheated." (Taking out rectangle block in my front pocket) ''Man it has been so many Eras, yes Eras, thousands upon thousand of years. This block, no, cellphone was what it was call it been so long since I saw one.'' David: "I know what you''re gon.... Wait what did you say?" (Stopping in front of me and turning around with a bewildered expression like I was one of the 7 wonders of the world) "I said you are right. Michal is a bastard that will not stop and I should not even care about him anymore. You know what?" (Recalling ancient memories within my mind I recall how to use an cellphone again. Scrolling to contacts to Michal''s name and seeing a lot, I mean a lot, of messages under that contact.) ''Holy hell was I such a person in the lesser world? I don''t remember this. How the hell don''t I remember this horrible black stain in my history?'' (Swiping to block and the delete user. After confirming turn my cell to David to let him confirm my ''resolve''.) "See blocked and will no longer talk to him." (Patting him on the shoulder) "Man I feel better. You should buy me dinner tonight for celebrating this joyful breaking." (Quickly walks passes David into C12 and taking my seat in the middle of the class room no bigger than 20 by 25 yards) ''Even though David is a bastard that talked behind my back, ruined my reputation, and the person trying to break up my relationships with all my closest friends. In my last life, it was the final semester of my senior year that I was slowly isolated from everyone that once supported me. Then framed me for stealing and harassing my ex-boyfriend at that time Michal.'' (Turning my head to stare at david who was sitting next to me with a deep look.) ''However, I still do not understand why David did all of that; we were best friends for so long. I cannot place the reason why he did that and it''s difficult to recall what has happened so long ago.'' Mrs. Terry: "Alright, same as always sign your name on the roster and pass it on. Let''s begin the lesson where we left off before the weekend." ''In this body that has not yet begun to practice or even been enlighten it is basically impossible to recall those ancient memories. The reason why I still haven''t lost decorum with David is because in this life I want to pay him back for the suffering he caused me in my last life. Is it petty of me to bully the younger generation? Yes, but so what I''m a petty man and damn proud of it. You slap me I stab you. You hit me I take a lim.''This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere. (Mrs. Terry''s voice becomes muffled as my thoughts continue.) Ding* "Host do you still want a walk through the interface menu?" Proceed Ding* "If you look to the top right you''ll see the symbol of our lord. That is the favorability that our lord has towards you. There are five colors from most favored to least favored: Gold, Green, Yellow, Red, and Black. As you can see you have a green symbol with spots of yellow in your favorability and it is almost in the second highest category. Black is basically in the opinion of our Lord is that he finds you boring or displeasing and you''re at your last chances . Should you fail your soul will be taken by our Lord and will never reincarnate. This also means that the task are crueler and have a lower payout rate. Red means our Lord is dissatisfied and the task are harder with a low payout rate but much easier that the Black category. Yellow is neutral favor of our lord. Which gives mild tasks with mild rewards. Green our Lord is happy or entertained by you, as such, your tasks will be easier to some extent and the payout will be better that of lower level color with the same tasks. Gold represents our Lord high regards of you, as a result, the same level of task will have massive rewards. One gold level task equal 5 green. One green Level task equal about 6-7 yellow tasks. One yellow task equal about 10 red task. One red task is about 25 black tasks. Lower your level higher the number of tasks it takes for you to buy materials that you will need to further increase your levels. However, you must remember that there is only a certain number of times that you can fail a task before your favorability falls to a lower level. It is easy to fall from grace than it is to recover or increase it." ''Are you sure you''re supposed to be telling me everything?'' Ding* "Of course v.v It''s not like you can learn the level pay out without falling to the bottom and working your way up. As such, a certain level of questions about the system can be ask and answered." ''''Certain level'' so there are some questions that will not be told about system. I need to explore this when have time alone.'' Ding* "Status of current cultivation methods , its level, and it''s information is underneath the lords icon. Further information after this will need a higher level than the one you currently have at the moment. Under that are special abilities that you have achieved. Like a Dragon method will display the advance of ones constitution in body defense or stability. Lastly, the money symbol used here on this world is the shop icon." (Passing my thoughts into the $ symbol) Ah! I even need a certain level to access parts of the shop? I''m a green level but many parts are still blocked. Ding* "I must correct the host. You are still within the borders of the yellow category. Until the symbol is completely green you are still within the realm of yellow. From the looks of it you will need to complete more than 8 tasks to fully enter the green level." (In my heart I feel a bit of disappointment then after a few seconds I got over it. It''s at this moment my soul tremble when I saw a cultivation method) Pleiades Purification sounds interesting. Stamped one foot vigorously, bringing the constellation to thy knee. A second stamp... brought the stars to thy hip. Stamped ones foot a third and fourth time, until the constellation lodged in thy temple. Carefully arranging star crystals throughout the heavens until the night sky was beautified by ones glittering constellations. Placed some of ones fire in the sky by providing an igniter star to radiate light for each constellation to impart ones fire unto the sun. ''Stomp? Ancient beings were humans? No probably something to do with ones soul and how to manipulate it into a blast or wave? So use one''s soul to control the stars, chaos, or primedial energy to straighten the foundations of the body to a vigorous peak. This is most likely the body tempering stage. So far it gives an interesting outlook to cultivation and this is only the introduction to the method.'' Ding* "Host, from my scan it seems that you naturally have an connection to this method. According to your origins this method can awaken an bloodline hidden within your family. However, it is recommended that host choose this path with appropriate information." ''Ding, what you said about family bloodlines is probably from my Native American side isn''t it? Probably a shaman, witch doctor, or some kind of spirit warrior?'' Ding*"Host is right that it''s a Native American bloodline, however, it is not any of the possible chooses you mentioned. The reason I mention proper information is that the Pleiades method is a dark, negative, or ying method. Hosts bloodline is that of a skinwalker or shadow shaman. With your memories it shows that this occupation is not welcomed in this world or even within your own family, well tribe in this case." **Remember to leave a comment below.
