《Chosen》 Prologue/Backstory ("..." for dialogue, ''...'' for thoughts) Prologue Protag''s POV "... Where am I? WHO am I?" "You are in the void. As for the second question, that is something you need to find out yourself."(???) "...!! Who are you, and where are you!?" "I am Soloman, the God of Wisdom, and truthfully, I am right in front of you, you just cannot see me because you are a soul in the void.¡±(Soloman) "The void?" "It is the place where souls with negative karmic debt go. Once you come here, your memories are wiped and you are to wander for eternity."(Soloman) "...Then why are you here?" "To pick up a soul, of course! And guess what, the soul I''m going to pick up is you! Aren''t you happy?"(Soloman) "... Why are you going to pick me up?" "I will have you reborn in the world of Eternia! Now, come alo-"(Soloman) "Why me?" "Umm, for now, let us just say that your soul is unique."(Soloman) "Okay." "Now come along, I have to show you what Eternia is."(Soloman) All of a sudden, I had a lurching feeling, and thought that I was going to be sick. "Ah, here we are. Go ahead and try to look around."(Soloman) I did as he said and was astounded by what I saw. A lush, green plain, clear blue skies, and a small village. It was extremely beautiful. "It''s beautiful, isn''t it?"(Soloman) I replied "yes" in amazement. "Unfortunately, in 18 years, this world will become a battleground."(Soloman) "...!!! What do you mean!?" "The real reason I picked you up is so once you are reborn, you will participate in a battle against 3 other individuals. You see, I am one of the 4 Highgods. We are having a contest to decide who the next Ultimate God will be, as the previous Ultimate God was overthrown in a coup. Don''t worry though, you also get a benefit if you win. You will become a Highgod as well, taking my previous position."(Soloman) "So if I win, I become a Highgod and you become the Ultimate God?" "Ahhh, I''m so glad I picked you, you catch on quick."(Soloman) "One question." "...Yes?"(Soloman) "Why don''t you 4 Highgods battle against each other, instead?" "Weell, ehehehe, if we were to do battle, we would destroy the entire universe in the process. Why, when the coup was taking place, we destroyed 17 galaxies that were caught in the crossfire."(Soloman) The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement.I just floated there staring, dumbfounded with what he just said. ''Did he just say 17 GALAXIES!?!?!'' "So yeah, you get the gist of it right? We don''t really want to wipe out trillions of sentient lifeforms. So that is why we are not going to fight amongst ourselves."(Soloman) "............" "Okay, so now I am going to explain what will happen before the battle- once you all turn 18, we will send down a messenger, which will be, I guess, what the people of this world call an angel, and it will tell you where to go to begin the battle."(Soloman) "That''s pretty straightforward." "Oh, but it''s not. Every god is allowed to grant their chosen 3 gifts. It is these gifts that will give the participants an edge in battle."(Soloman) "Oh, and what gifts are you going to give me?" "The first gift I am going to give you is to be able to instantly remember anything. Basically it¡¯s highest order photographic memory. This first gift is to help you learn and adapt to this world. The second gift I will give you is a magic sword. It¡¯s called Excaliber. It will manifest once you turn 10 years old. My final gift to you will be the ability to access any magic spells on the planet, even forbidden or forgotten ones.¡±(Soloman) ¡°That¡¯s actually really convenient. Excaliber sounds like it will be a big help.¡± ¡°I have one more thing I am going to give you.¡±(Soloman) ¡°I thought you could only give me 3 gifts.¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t count as a gift if it was originally yours.¡±(Soloman) After saying that, a beam of light hit me and several images flashed in my mind. Images of a man with a sword and he was standing in a circle of flames. ¡°In time you will understand what I gave to you, but for now, adieu.¡±(Soloman) I saw a flash of light and this is what I heard- ¡°Come on Nyleene, push!!! There are still 2 more to go!(???) -and in the background I heard crying, a lot of crying. ¡°wahhhhhh¡± ¡°wahhhhhhh¡± And that was the day Drake Helius Aresia was born. Chapter 1 (".." for dialogue ''...'' for thoughts) [b][u]Chapter 1-My Situation[s][u] Drakes POV ''That Soloman wasn''t lying. I really have been reborn.'' "waaah""waaah""waaah"(babies crying) ''BUT WHY ARE THERE SO MANY BABIES!?!?!?!'' End of Drakes POV ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mother''s POV ''I''m very worried about Drake. His siblings are behaving like normal babies should, but he''s-he''s not doing anything that a normal baby does. All he does is lie there and stare at the things around him. What if he isn''t healthy!?!? "It''s been 2 weeks. 2 WEEKS!!! Why hasn''t Drake cried at all!? All of his siblings are crying, but why not him!?" "I-I''m sorry your majesty, I-I don''t know why he isn''t crying, but I can assure you that nothing is wrong with him!(servant) "Nyleene, don''t worry, he''ll be fine. More importantly, don''t you think his eyes are beautiful?"(???) "Yes, they are beautiful, but I want to some sort of reaction from him! All he does is stare at me when I''m close to him! Why aren''t you worried!?!? This sort of thing is the usual stuff that should make any parent worry. Arland, you''re his father, why don''t you seem the least bit worried!??" "The reason I''m not worried is because the priests from the temple all said that there is nothing wrong with him. Plus, there doesn''t seem to be any harm in letting fate take it''s course."(Arland) ''Yeah, he''s right, he''s definitely right. There has never been a case where the priests have given an untrue diagnosis. He''ll be fine. Let''s just wait for a while longer, and see what happens.'' "Thanks Arland. That really helped. Let''s just keep a close eye on him from now on, ok?" "Gyahahahahaha, that''s the spirit! Everything''ll be fi-"(Arland) All of a sudden, the previously shut door flew open with a *BANG* "Y-your majesties!!!!!!"(Servant girl) The servant girl had a wide smile plastered on her face as she said- "It''s Master Drake, Master Drake is crawling!!!" Me and my husband just stood there, dumbfounded with what she just said. Then my husband spoke up- "What did you just say?"(Arland) "Master Drake, Master Drake is crawling!!! He''s crawling!!!" My thoughts on this matter were If you encounter this narrative on Amazon, note that it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it. ''Is this girl mentally ill? It''s impossible for a child of 2 weeks to crawl!'' And the girl as she was turning around to leave said- "Your Majesties, please come and see for your sel-" At that time, me and my husband were staring in amazement at the sight of a baby who had just crawled in the room, who then stopped and stared at us. End of Mother/Nyleene''s POV ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Drakes POV After my parents saw me crawl into the room, they were extremely delighted. My mother especially, and she wouldn''t stop hugging me. After that, I began showing signs of my intelligence. When I was a month old, my mother started rambling on about our country and how great she expected me to be. Well, I could already tell she thought very highly of me seeing as how she was telling all of this to a baby. I''ve learned many things now that I have been in Eternia for 11 months, 11 long months of nothing. This is some background knowledge of who I currently am: -My name is Drake Helius Aresia -My father and mother are king and queen of a human kingdom called Aresia -I''m the 3rd of 4 children -The children are quadruplets -My siblings names are Ludvig(eldest brother), Jasher(2nd brother), and Tania(Little sister and the last of us born) -Most royal family members have dark green eyes, but me and Tania don''t -I have heterochromic eyes. The left is turquoise and my right is gold(Tania also has turquoise eyes) All of a sudden a small voice said- "Bruddah"(???) It was my little sister Tania. She liked to latch onto my leg for indefinite periods of time. I mentally let out a sigh, wondering how long it would take for her to let go this time. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Authors note: Hey guys, this is sdgao02.
