《The World of Epidemics in a Fantasy Universe!》 Prologue In the lands of London, year 2024 April, 5 A man approaching the age of 35 is sleeping on his disk is woken up by the light of the sun hitting his face. As he looks around his lab which is a mess, he notices that on his computer screen there is a small window saying he has 300 messages congratulating him on his birthday today. Leon: ¡°ugh¡­.how annoying I never understood why they celebrate such a thing every year. SOPHIE throw these messages to the trash!¡± He yells! Sophie: ¡°As you wish Mr. Berg, anything else I can do for you?¡± (Sophie is a computer AI, which as you can see is more advanced than the ones we currently have) Leon: ¡°Yeah, what time is it?¡± Sophie: ¡°Its currently 2 pm sir¡±. Leon: ¡°damn¡­.anyways that will be all Sophie¡± Sophie: ¡°Sir, you currently have 15 unanswered calls from your relatives.¡± Leon: ¡°annoying hypocrites, ignore them¡± Sophie: ¡°As you wish sir¡± Leon then started walking out of the computer lab, he then walks to the epidemics lab looking for his new toy that he just got, which was illegally purchased. Its one of the deadliest epidemics in human history called Tuberculosis. A disease which has been traced back to the DNA of ancient Egyptian mummies. As he enters the lab he looks to his new toy.Unauthorized usage: this narrative is on Amazon without the author''s consent. Report any sightings. Leon: ¡°I cant wait to continue my research into this epidemic! It still astounds me, how this type of bacteria spreads through the air. Wreaking havoc throughout humanity for thousands of year, surprisingly we did find a cure for it during the late 19th century¡­¡­Sophie! Remind me the history of this specific epidemic.¡± Sophie: ¡°Strains of this disease have been traced back to the DNA of ancient Egyptian mummies, revealing that this epidemic has been wreaking havoc on humanity for thousands of years. Caused by a bacteria that spreads through the air, this disease attacks the lungs and causes internal weakness, chest pains, night sweats, and terrible fits of coughing. In the 19th century, tuberculosis killed an estimated one-quarter of the adult population of Europe, and by 1918 one in six deaths in France were still caused by TB. Today, the disease is still around, affecting nearly 8 million people a year and leading to the death of about 2 million of those infected.¡± (http://www.healthcarebusinesstech.com/the-10-deadliest-epidemics-in-history/ Link to the information, if interested also for this paragraph I just copied it.) Leon: ¡°I can never get bored of these things, it always astounds me how many humans died to such epidemics.¡± BOOM!!BOOM!!BOOM! The whole residence starts shaking! Due to the chain effect of the explosions happening! Leon: ¡° WHAT THE???¡± Before he can even finish that sentence the ceiling crushes down on Leon! Killing him instantly and also releasing the epidemic, which was sealed in the glass container thus killing thousands of people in London after his death. The perpetrators for this event, which were his relatives never thought. That even though he is dead, they wont get his parents inheritance. Due to him giving it away to the military for biological weaponry research. He also sold the family¡¯s company to the military for nuclear research. (As you can see, he seemed like he wanted to see the world burn or pretty much contribute to the extinction of humanit¡­.) Also many people died due to the release of the epidemic, however it was contained. Yet it killed around 3000 people. Chapter 1: Is that ….a scale?? POV: MC MC: ¡°Ugh¡­what happened?? As our mc is looking around he finds himself in a weird creepy room. It looked ancient, although fairly clean. It reminded him of ancient Egyptian throne rooms, due to the style of the place and the ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphs. However unlike how it is usually, the room is not centered around a throne; This one is centered around a huge scale. Yet this wasn¡¯t the most bizarre thing there, the thing which made the whole scale even more peculiar was the glowing feather that seemed archaic or more like primordial. MC: ¡°why does this remind me of Egyptian mythology¡­. however if I am correct there should be a gigantic creature, which is supposed to guard the scale¡¯s of Justice( I know it sounds corny, but im not the one who named it as such). MC: what was her name¡­hm I believe it was called Ammit, devourer of souls¡­why does this sound more ominous then it used to¡­ Unknown: ¡°Seems like your world still kept our ancient beliefs intact, how amusing. MC: Hm, where is that voice coming from? (MC looks around trying to find the source) Ammit: ¡°Stop looking around mortal, as much it amuses me watching mortals freak out. You seem especially calm towards this. Also usually we don¡¯t get mortals from your world, usually they go to that annoying upstart that started Islam, Christianity and Judaism. Anyhow try not to freak out too much.¡± A creature with a body that was part lion, hippopotamus and crocodile made an entrance through a portal. She looked gigantic, scary and yet holy. MC: ¡°Hoo..so you are Ammit, the demon which devours hearts or souls.¡± MC: Hm¡­I never did believe in gods¡­.how does this work?? Unknown 2: ¡°usually mortals get sent to, which ever domain they tend to believe in the most. However you are a rare case, due to you being more interested in Egyptian myths rather than Christianity, Hinduism¡­etc you got sent here.¡± Ammit: Why is she here!??.....Has she taken an interest to a mortal?! MC: ¡°so you are saying, that If I believed in Greek mythology. I¡¯d be in the underworld meeting Hades?? Ammit: ¡°not really, unless you are a special case. Usually you will be judged by his judges. MC: ¡°fascinating¡­.so the theory of parallel world is true¡­I wonder if the epidemics from ancient mythology¡¯s is also true¡­¡± (MC¡¯s eyes starts shinning with obsession!) Ammit:¡­. I think I figured out, why she is interested. MC: ahm¡­anyway, who are you? I already know she is Ammit due to her looking similar to the ancient pictures depicting her.This text was taken from Royal Road. Help the author by reading the original version there. Suddenly bright golden light descended! Blinding our MC, while he was trying to get his eyes to focus again. A 2-meter-tall beauty with a lion cape on her looked towards the mortal, with a smile. She had golden hair that reached her bottom, golden eyes that looked similar to a lioness. She was also wearing a red dress that depicted her curves, which would make any mortal go ape shit! Sekhmet: I am Sekhmet the Goddess of War, Healing and plagues! MC: ¡­A GODDESS OF PLAGUES!! The MC for the first time in his life is hyper venting looking at a Goddess with extreme fixation! He is not interested in her looks, neither her power but what he is interested about is plagues and for him to see a goddess to represent such a power brings about extreme amount of respect from him! Ammit looks at the mortal with a weird expression, probably thinking he is not right in the head. While Sekhmet find his gaze chucklesome, its her first time finding a mortal obsessed over one of the things she ruled, which brought upon mostly, disgust, fear and as such she found him likeable. Sekhmet: Seems like I found myself an interesting champion. I cant wait to see, what he brings about in his new life. Sekhmet: ¡°Ahem¡­.(trying to make the mc focus on her voice)The reason im here is because I found you interesting. Thu I will give you the choice to become my champion on your next life! Either that or you get judged by the scales of justice to see where you end up.¡± MC: ¡°What are the pros and cons?¡± Ammit: ¡­.yup definitely not normal, not sexually interested in Sekhmet nor is he jumping at the chance to get power¡­ Sekhmet: ¡° well, being my champion you will get powers that correspond towards the things I rule over. The cons you will be dragged towards many conflicts against other champions. Also the scale will basically weigh, how much karma you had in your past life. You will either be eaten or go to the so called heaven.¡± MC: ¡°Very well, ill choose to be your champion. However id like my status of being champion being hidden. I wont have people chasing after me from the very start and dying a pointless death.¡± Sekhmet: ¡°Wonderful! First ill make sure that you are hidden from the gods for a 100 years. That¡¯s the most I could do, without it being noticed. Then ill give you my blessings, for you being my champion. Then let bring out your true name, which defines you!¡± As Sekhmet uses her powers to bring forth his true name, she seemed to be unable to. Due to her power being absorbed, which was something that wasn¡¯t meant to happen. As her power was being sucked Ammit tried using her power to help Sekhmet(because she was starting to become pale which should be impossible for a mortal to force a goddess to such a situation), however both of their strength were being absorbed at a faster pace, before they could do anything it suddenly stopped. Both of them fell to the floor gasping for breath, while Leon is in the center of a red aura which was the thing that absorbed their power! Its suddenly condensed around Leon, making weird spatial distortions! Sekhmet: ¡°AMMIT!! WE MUST STOP THAT THING FROM TELEPORTING!¡± As both the goddesses tried to seal the ominous object from escaping it suddenly exploded throwing the both of them away and in the same time teleporting Leons soul somewhere away from the underworld. As this was happening the Egyptian gods sensed the aura coming from the underworld thus as they came looking for what was happening they only see destruction! As they look around they see both the goddesses passed out! While beside them the feather of Maat was cracking slowly turning to dust. Osiris: ¡° What happened here?!!¡± Isis: ¡° seems like something fought with the goddesses, however¡­.what is powerful enough to make Sekhmet faint, with Ammit??!¡± Thoth: ¡° The feather of Maat is being destroyed, it is an ominous sign¡­seems like something powerful has awakened! (He checks up on both goddesses) It seemed like, whatever it was it drained them both from their strength. Especially their magic! The gods look at each other with a frowning expression. They then decided to track that thing down and destroy it using any means possible! They then teleport away taking with them the passed out goddesses. DAN DAN DANNN To Be Continued Chapter 2: New World! POV: Hidden entity Entity: ¡°Finally, I found a mortal that can handle my power. Entity2: ¡°Although it¡¯s a bit peculiar, that his soul didn¡¯t implode from all that divine power¡­seems like he is different.¡± Entity3: ¡°seems like this is going to be more interesting that I expected.¡± ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ POV: MC In a dark green forest, which is surrounded by dense amount of nature mana. There lay a cat, sleeping peacefully. Its fur¡¯s color ominous black with purple stripes. As he laid there sleeping, an ominous dark aura, which distorted space surrounded him. After a bit it finally went away by being absorbed back in the cat. As he laid there sleeping peacefully, there was a brown monkey on a tree looking towards the mc with wonder. Having never seen such a beast like this one before, it decided to throw something at it wondering how it will react. It looks around finding a bright yellowish fruit that looked similar to an orange. It plucks it away and throws it at the sleeping cat, arousing it from its sleep. MC: Damn¡­..what the hell hit me?? Is that a fruit? As our mc looks around, he seemed surprised finding himself in a forest. It also seemed he got better vision. He then looks down and finds a fruit, beside his paw. MC: ¡°What?!! Since when did I have a paw???maybe I turned into a tiger?¡± He looks towards himself checking out his dark black fur and purple stripes, it also seemed like he had a tail similar to that of a cats. Finally he notices the monkey holding a yellowish fruit up on the tree. He stares at the monkey with confusion for a second then with a frown forming on his face. MC: How annoying, well at least I woke up before something dangerous happens. I wonder what happened¡­I remember Sekhmet doing something relating to my true name, but then something happened. Well I¡¯ll think about it later, better find a place to camp, preferably beside a water source. He then looks around, ignoring the existence of the monkey. He starts walking towards the area which felt like it had a higher amount of humidity. He didn¡¯t know how he knew yet he trusted his instincts. As he walked away the monkey looked confused and started following him, as he was looking around he find a variety of different herbs and bugs. Which seemed way different to the ones he had seen or ever heard of. MC: This really is a different world huh¡­seems interesting. The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there. As he finally reached his destination, he finds himself looking at a lake. The water was dark green. There were also a variety of beasts there, however it seemed peaceful a bit too peaceful. He found a giant wild boar that had red skin and gigantic tusks that were extremely sharp. A giant light blue snake bathing in the sun beside the lake, it seemed to be sleeping. It also seemed a bit different, due to the horns that were growing on its head that seemed to glow. He then finds a green wolf that seemed to blend in with the forest. MC walks up to the water attracting a bit of attention, due to it being different. However, they then look away him, due to him having an aura of death. He drinks a bit of water, then walks away finding a tree somewhere in corner of the lake. It looked like a good place to hide from visibility and gave him a good spot to see around him through the branches. He noticed a while ago the monkey which had woken him up was following him but he didn¡¯t care, it seemed like it got bored due to him not doing anything and thus left. MC: so¡­.where are my powers? Or perks of being Sekhmet¡¯s champion? It cant be ill only be a feline that has to use its claws and teeth? Maybe its like those weird fantasy like stories?.....what did those people call it¡­.I believe Status? [tds]Fire:
