《Seriously. I am a god... Why?》 Prologue: Endless Eternal Emptyness What is the true purpose of knowledge? Is it Enlightenment? The pursuit to understand what is, was, and what will be? Or is it the satisfaction and gratification of achieving what others have not, or even simpler, just being smarter than anyone else. No one knew until i did. And I only found out because there was no one left to find out. And here is the big answer. Instinct. Do you really think that you are special. Well you aren''t. Not really anyway. There once were countless intelligent species out there. And all pursued knowledge in one form or another, but not because the wanted to. They physically needed to. They just didn''t know it. It is actually extremely simple, just monumentally complicated. The universe is big. So big in fact that it needs a foundation of stability. That foundation happens to be conscious thought and reasoning. We think therefore we are. We think the universe is big therefore it is. So many people think its big, therefor it is. The sky is blue. because we think it is and we come up with complicated reason like molecules and light refraction to build the complexity as a foundation then teach it to others, thus strengthening it. Times infinity. This goes on for everything, into everything, then becomes everything. So.. What happens when there is no one left to observe learn and solidify it all. Simple. It collapses... Until your the only one left. Until your left with a dark empty world. No life, and no one... But i love life. When your all that is left, the universe kind of compresses everything. You unfortunately end up almost getting crushed by all that has ever happened ever. To me, this manifested in the crystallization of my body and the memory echo of everyone who ever lived. It was kinda necessary to survive all that pressure and live without any form of warmth or physical contact. Unbound from any form of law or form of reason or understanding. With the memory echo i learned basically everything and saw the lives of countless others and i realized something. Life was fun. Not all of it, but most of it. So here is what i did. I decided to do it all over again. You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story. At this point i had basically become a god or "Higher Being" and could do and create almost everything, you must be wondering why i cant just create more people??? Simple. Souls. It is the only thing no one knew about. Oh sure they theorized and postulated but souls are the one thing which cannot be understood or destroyed. With the collapse and no new life they solidified in me. Oh i could create one or two new people but they wouldn''t survive. They would have to go under forced evolution and compression but there is nothing left. It is essentially my job to create a new universe or just live an endless bleak existence. But, there is a cost. I have to die. I can create a new Big Bang(Surprisingly most commonly used term) But i will not be able to experience it. But that''s fine. I wont belong there anyway.. On a funner note i get to tweak a few things. After saying good bye the the endless black sky I compressed all the knowledge and memories to create a new "Path" for life to follow and imprinted all the complexities of life into my crystallized body. And here is the point. My body become the center of new life. With my evolution, my body became the template for new life. And since i like new things, i left it generally random. I want the new people to experience the unexpected. Thinking of the future.. 10 9 "It was fun.." 8 7 "Seeing how people lived and how they strove for more..." 6 5 "Who know what will happen next..." 4 3 "The truth is..." 2 1 I always wanted to be a father... And then... Prologue: That was Unexpected My name is Kite and I am hungry. Everyday I help the bigger gangs of Leira city with all their small time jobs and deals for a small piece of the cut. Anything from lookout and message running, to a minor distraction which i hate. I hate distractions because it usually ends up with me getting my but kicked by one guard or another or by some random man who takes my appearance as a physical assault on his being. It is really simple really. I am a great distraction. Everyone notices me whether i want them to or not. It is because i am cursed. Not weakness or anything super dire but its just who i am. You see i am a Tymodian. Tymodians are ''supposedly'' really smart. We have little magic besides some crafting skills which are helpful along with our four arms. Two upper, two lower smaller arms. Usually a Tymo, for short, will have dark almost black skin with red eyes. at average 5''5 to 6ft tall. And then there is me. 5ft tall with completely white skin. Almost translucent with completely white eyes. So in our twilight city of Leira I stand out. And that makes me a target. Being a target isn''t all bad. (Yay for optimism) It helps out the other guys who took me in and taught me the ropes. I cant do much else besides the little stuff because I''m too big a target. But i do what i can. Because i have to. If i didn''t help them then i don''t get a cut. No cut means no food. No food and i die. So thats me. Kite. Small glowing ball of glowing pain to the eyes of people. Today''s job was special. The ducal twins needed me to distract some weird insane peddler who came to town so they can steal something of his. It was simple. I would go up and start a talk with the man, then make him angry in some way. Get him to chase me or look away long enough for the guys to come by and do a quick snatch and grab. simple. What i did not expect was the method i chose which was quickly try and grab his necklace and run away to backfire in my face so fantastically. I don''t really know why i tried to grab that necklace. I saw it and needed it. It was a white jagged stone a couple inches long wrapped in cord and hidden in his shirt. it somehow popped out when he wasn''t looking and on pure and simple impulse i tried to grab it. What was next happened too fast which i didn''t fully remember until later. When i tried to yank the cord from his neck it didn''t budge but dug into my skin. The next thing was pain. horrible horrible pain. the white stone started pulsing like some kind of magic stone. because of the pain my hand clamped on the stone and i couldn''t let go and started screaming. Ripples flew up my arm and over my body. It felt like i was dissolving. First my skin dissipated, then my veins all the way until all the was left was bone. I was still holding the stone and could feel everything still. I could see and hear but i could not move. Finally nothing was left. I was just a blob of shifting colors in the shape of a man still holding onto the stone. finally the stone stopped pulsing. there was silence for one glorious second. There was no pain. I could see and understand everything around me. It was weird. the people around me were just flowing globs of different colored light stacked on top of each other in layers with one small pure white light in the center. Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon. That one second was endless. But when it did end. it was bad. Up until this point it all took maybe 7 seconds. I could still see the back of the twins as they tried to turn around and distance themselves from this situation. I mean i was just some 12 year old kid they tolerated because i was useful. I was so angry seeing them leave. I think that''s what saved me. After that last pain free second the white stone shone so bright i was blinded. It kept getting brighter and brighter. until the whole world seemed to be engulfed. Then came the pain. It was like being crushed under the weight of a mountain, grinding you until there is nothing but dust then being put back together again. Over and over and over again. But luckily i was spared most of that when i blacked out. Hi, My name is Kite. And this is how i stupidly grabbed the God shard and died.
