2023-01-18 06:00:53'When in front of what seems to be a god, don't move, don't panic, and definitely always show respect. Who knows, you might just get some of that sweet divinity. Fuck.... I just died and I can't even process all of this right now....'
Arkan thought as he looked at the giant of a man right after he started to talk to him.
"We need to talk."
The man said with a serious tone that it broke any nonsense he was thinking at that moment and the words made him aware of the grandeur of his situation.
Without thinking, he got to the ground and kneeled with one knee just like how a knight would to a king.
"Awe...."
The giant of a man said in surprise.
"Ohhh yeah... I almost forget that this is a core part of your character."
The giant said. It was as if he knew him. Arkan just kept on looking down and said nothing.
"Hahahaha..."
The giant was amused.
"So, that sweet divinity huh?"
He said, still amused at his actions like an adult would to a child who thinks is smarter than they are. Arkan finally looked up only to see the giant laughing at him again.
'He can read my mind?'
He asked himself.
"Yes."
The giant said, still amused.
"What was it again... that conversation you had with Alax...."
The giant man said while still trying to remember something. Arkan was still trying to come to terms with all that was happening.
"Got it... I think you two agreed that no mortal could ever defeat a god. If one has or does, then they must not have been a god or it would mean that there are stupid gods out there that would give a mortal such power or allow them to grow that much powerful without killing them while they posed no threat at the time, something even a gangster would never allow."
The giant said like he was quoting his exact words.
Arkan was taken aback. He and Alax had talked about too much nonsense to remember it all and he would never have thought that it was plausible.
"Ohh and the fact that you would only knell down to someone you two thought you would never defeat even when it came to your fantasy worlds."
The giant seemed to know him in and out. Arkan was even starting to wonder why would such a being take such interest in him and even know the nonsense he would blubber on about whenever he fantasized about the fantasies he would read about.
"So, stop your kneeling and take a sit already as you might never kneel to anyone ever again after our conversation."
The giant said. Arkan tried to process his last words very carefully as he did what he said and took a sit.
He coughed up more golden blood, making Arkan show a little bit of concern.
"I do not have much time. I know that you are still in shock and are still processing all this, but since we do not have much time, so you will understand what I have to tell you, I need you to treat this the way you talked about how your reincarnation would go with Alax, only this time it being a reality."
The giant said, making Arkan go into panic mode. That aura of a gangster had long left him.
"Reincarnation!"
Arkan could not help but blurt out, the thought of reincarnation being too good to be true.
"Mmmm... Got your attention now?"
The giant replied. Arkan quickly got his game face on as he could not let this opportunity go no matter how bewildered he was by the situation he found himself in let alone the fact that he just died.
"Now that we have gotten that out of the way, before we get into the important part of why you are here, you can ask your questions I know you want to ask."
The giant said.
"Are you god?"
He did not waste time as he knew the only way to get answers was to accept the situation for now and question all of this and his sanity later.
"Some call us that. But the person who will be writing your story years from now calls us Guardians. I like that word, but many others call as other names, deities, immortals, zodiacs, angles and so on."
The giant said, confusing Arkan.
"The one writing my story?"
He asked while not sure he heard him right. The giant smiled.
"Most, if not the majority of the light novels you have read are stories of people who have reincarnated in this or other universes. Just like there is a Guardian of chaos, love, fate, diseases, mischief and so on, there is a Guardian respected by all, the Guardian of Literature."
The giant said.
"With every great adventure of those who reincarnate, a story has to be told and a record of that adventure and all the significant things that happen through history has to be kept. So, once in a while he insect an idea of a story to an author to write these stories. For if no one knows about them and about us, well, we will sis to exist, so will the legends of those who were once in your shoes."
The giant continued. With everything that Arkan just heard, he had one question that he hoped the answer would not disappoint.
"Is the idiot who's going to be writing my story any good?"
This damn pig brain asked!
The giant could not help but laugh out loud, making him cough in pain.
"Well, you just have to hope so and I believe he just called you a pig brain...hahaha, mind you, that will be written for all who read your story to see. I better respect him if I was you."
Arkan gritted his teeth in anger but there was nothing he could do about it, so he let it go and went to the more important questions.
The giant man did say that they did not have time, and he seemed hurt for some reason. He could feel the reverence around him become less as the seconds passed by.
"How did I get here?"
He asked the how, as the 'why' he was there he was sure that the giant man would tell him in time.
"Unfortunately I couldn't bring you here the normal way, so I had to introduce a spark of my divinity to your soul when you died so we can be connected and I was able to pull you into this hidden space. Unfortunately, just like every misfortune, this was an emergency and the only way to bring you here. It is also why you can resist the lure of my blood and haven't tried to consume it."
The giant said. Arkan looked at the golden blood that was on some parts of the floor and shuttered at the thought of wanting to consume it. Some part of him was still telling him to do so but a part of him that was deep in him was still resisting the edges.
'A spark of divinity huh... See Alax, acting cool and with some respect can net you the jackpot to getting some of that sweet divinity.... shit, forgot that he can read my thoughts.'
Arkan quickly tried to think of something else to the amusement of the giant. He did not even have time to come to terms that his one and only friend had been killed right in front of him a moment ago.
"The right way?"
He asked, trying to forget what he was thinking about.
"So, Track kun was on vacation huh...?"
He said as a passing joke but was surprised to hear a reply from the giant and shocked at his words.
"You mean the god killer?"
The giant said, sending Arkan into a stupor.
"He has been sending Chosen ones to this universe for a 1000 years now and is about to move on to another, but he did owe me a Chosen of my own that I have never claimed since the beginning just like Chaos and Fate. Unfortunately, I couldn't ask him to get you because this was an emergency, so unfortunate that I even had to give you a small part of my divinity to bring you here which is surely going to change the rest of your life."
Arkan did not hear all of what the giant was saying as he was still stuck at 'god killer'.
"Wait, god killer? You mean to tell me the white truck that goes around running over the protagonist in all those stories is real and killed a god?"
Arkan asked, still in shock.
"Well, why else would he be in so many stories? A god once went to him and complained about the protagonist he had sent him as he was killed in childbirth. Truck kun just ran him over, splattering his divinity on the pavement and creating one of the biggest earthquakes your world had ever recorded."
Arkan was taken aback.
"He attacks the soul and divinity directly. That is how he is able to bring the protagonists or Chosen to different worlds and nothing else can attack divinity directly except him, hence no god or Guardian would want to fight him. He is an enigma."
The giant said, sending Arkan's world spinning once again.
"Enough of this, ask your last question so we can get to why I needed you here. Your mother is about to give birth and I am about to perish."
The giant said, now more serious than before. As if the revelation of Truck kun was not mindboggling enough, the giant's words kept on making Arkan's head hurt again as he could not compute at that point. So, he asked the last question he had at that point.
"I see. So, who are you?"
He asked with his mind still at Truck kun and the fact that this powerful being that was in front of him just said that he was about to perish.
"Finally, you ask the right question."
The giant said as he wiped more of the golden blood that was now coming out of his nose while cracks formed on his skin, further making him bleed.
He stood up from his throne and with pride in his voice, he said his name.
"I am OIZYS, GUARDIAN OF MISFORTUNE"
The pride in that statement was almost palpable, but Oizys was not finished.
"And from this day on, I am the bane of every Guardian, and you, their torment."

"GUARDIAN OF MISFORTUNE? Me their tormentor?"Arkan asked. Things were just happening too fast for him. Now, some Guardian who seemed to have a bone to pick with the others wanted him to torment them?Not to mention that these were like gods and him just a human. Infect, he was looking at one looking at him right then."Many of us are born from living things, from their nature and everything that revolves around them while others come to be because of the universe itself. We come to be because there are laws that need to be put in place and guard against them so the dark era does not come back."Oizys said."We live for a long, long time... immortal in a way."He said as he looked at himself mockingly.

It seemed that the powerful but dying Guardian was being entertained by his thoughts in his last moments."Relax... I know all about you and what you always wanted if this dream of yours to be reincarnated ever came true. You are my first and might be the only child I allow to carry my spark.

The Laser. Only you can use this ability to its fullest as no one else has and will not be able to produce such a thing for thousands of years in Eldian.

At that moment Arkan had sparkles in his eyes."This will be your core, the source of your power and the abilities I have gifted you. No one will be able to sense it, even a System and A.I."Oizys said and then the small bright light flouted to Arkan."You will be lethal to those who use mana as they will be lethal to you."Oizys said as the whole of him started to crumble into dust.The ball of light entered Arkan's belly and as soon as it did, pain that he had never felt before assaulted every part of his body, the

In the sea of dark clouds, as it rained the raindrops passed through the layer of dark clouds and then onto the land beneath and making the ground muddy. As the raindrops passed through the clouds, their quality changed.They went from being transparent to having a dark tinge that fell on a dark forest where its trees, land, and water were dark and sickly. The land was eerie and forbidding. If one took a glance at it, one would think that nothing lived there.That was until you took a closer look and listened to the surroundings while letting the goosebumps travel throughout your body as you realized that the land was full of life. Well, of life that did not belong anywhere else in the world.The place was dark but the strange part was that the same clouds that covered the vast land had a tint of a dark purple glow when it was night, allowing little light for those who could not see in the dark.In day time some of the sun's light would pass through, showing that the sea of dark cloud

In the castle, before Arkan was born into Eldian, the king was getting bored of ruling a kingdom. All he wanted to do was go on a hunt and maybe find a way to pass this bottleneck that he seemed to not get over.He had been stuck in the same circle of power for far too long. Even the cultivation method that he had received from his inheritance that made him soar through the circles of power in a record amount of time had said that he would reach this point. Just following the cultivation technique was not going to get him through the next stage from here on.He set on his throne and drank. It seemed that his wife was about to give birth to his first child. When she came to him, he never knew why he was so taken by her.She was of a different race and one that they had hunted down in the past and kept as slaves before the new world.While they still had slaves, unlike other kingdoms, they did not invade others as they were just that far away from civilization and still kept the slaves

Arkan opened his eyes and the first thing he saw was blue.'What the? Did I die again?'He asked himself as he tried to move but could not. It was hard to move his head as he felt tired like he desperately needed to go back to sleep.'Ok, I am tired of this utter world bull shit! Wait, if I died then that means I did not fulfill Oizys request.'He did not know how to fill about that. He had made a deal with the old Guardian and that means he had given his word.He did not know what to be sadder about. The fact that he had really reincarnated in another world and died just minutes after being born in it or the fact that he failed what Oizys had asked of him.It was something strange. He did not know why he felt sad for not fulfilling his mission and then it hit him.They had only met for a short while but Oizys felt much more like a father that he never had in that short space of time than anyone had in his life.Then he remembered those eyes. The eyes of someone who was his biological

He still did not hesitate as he climbed and went passed them.As he did, the clouds hung on to him as they penetrated his body with his defenses not working against them at all.They made it into his body but he did not struggle. Unfortunately, since he was still wearing his hooded armor, you still could not make out what effect they had on him if any.He broke through them and reaching the cliff's surface was now child's play to someone like him.When he reached the top, a view of the capital from afar was in front of him.

That was where he was standing.To his west was the capital of t

Armageddon. It is Brika's new spell that she got from her Cultivation technique. Her hasband had been teaching her how to cast it with her showing her talent in the forest. It's always a spectacle seeing it.It is also the reason why there is such a big gap in power between second circle and third circle primals. The Guild master gave her one of his family's Cultivation techniques in Palagra. The spell is the reason they had been staying outside the city.It's a powerful Cultivation tichnique that comes with two powerful spells each time she advances and one that comes with a one-word spell after advancing to third-tier. It seemed it she had reserved it for when she was fighting a powerful opponent.

She still had her guard up but had went from an attacking posture to a defensive one.She was now sure that the person that she was fighting was not a normal one. It had been a long time since she was so coutouse of her opponent and it went to show just how much a Primal's killing intent could change the course of a fight.'Good, at least now she is not being lead by her bloodline insticts.'Drollo thought.He let his guard down and stood up straight as he put his hands on his back like an old wise man.His gesture startled Brika but she did not let her guard down.

Drollo, Brika and Dalex
As the King was contemplating the reason for childbirth, a woman was making her way from the city of Palagra to the capital. It was a long way but she was determined to reach there.She was wearing light leather armor that was grey in color and had fair features. She kept her hair in a ponytail style so it could not distract her in a fight.She had something to protect that she was carrying on her back. It was a baby that was calmly looking around with curiosity at the changing environment as she ran. It was a boy with black hair, not the usual brown which was the norm in the Dragarian Kingdom.He was only a month older than Arkan.He was held secure by a cloth as his mother did not want to always protect him when fighting an enemy from the front. By the blood on her front and on her armor, you could tell that she had been fighting ever since she left the safety of where she came from.'Damn, there are still lots of monsters roaming around close to the main road because of the beast t

It was early in the morning and he wanted to get this over with sooner rather than later. He arrived in front of Boa’s store in seconds and stood in front of it for some time as he looked straight at the front of the closed doors. He did not look up at the sign above but he could feel that he was being watched.It was like the old seer was watching, a feeling he was starting to forget. He steeled himself and went in. For someone who looked as scary as he was, this scene was priceless. For a split second, he smelled smoothing that was like boiled rotten flesh being cooked that took him by surprise but he managed to compose himself.“Ohh, you finally came in. I thought u might just pass by like the rest of t
The unfairness of childbirth
While Arkan was learning more than he thought that he would at the age he was which was only 2 months old at the time and because Draka was now always talking to him like his teacher when drank but understanding that he was a child and so kept his rumblings at least about the simple things about Eldier, he was getting closer and closer to the answer that kept escaping him.He was sure that there was something that he could do to make himself stronger even though all that he could do was to cry and poop, no, not cry but cream which was how he cried.In the capital, the queen came back out of the blue as the golem she had made fell from the sky above the capital and landed outside the First Section walls.It shaded the layer of trees and soil that it had absorbed when it first came to be and as it did so only the houses and humans that were still inside them could be seen as it got smaller. It jumped and landed on the section where there were no longer houses because of it and then fuse
Primal Language
After that day, Arkan could not think of anything but that scroll. The fact that his intuition was not helping him at this point made him grumpy and now he even felt hungrier than he used to. After thinking for a while, he was sure that it was because of the fact that there were only dotes on that scroll with no real words written and he was even contemplating that it was meant for blind people. What turned his emotions into turmoil though was what Draka had told him after showing him it and going on a teaching spree that came out of nowhere. "This is the base of every cultivation for every Primal turned into a body language. In the Abyss Age, a time when demons walked every continent beside humans, the Old Primordials had to find a way to introduce cultivation to any human with the aptitude to cultivate." Draka said and Arkan was happy that he had been born in this age. He was sure that he would have died in those days for sure. Draka continued. "This was because they were losing

'Some would say the means to communicate with someone is the true essence of a human's desire, as to be able to convey one's feelings and to be understood is freedom itself. Well, how can I tell this inbreed maggot of a bastard that I want to throw him into a pit of boiling oil and fry him to a crisp while healing him each time that he is about to die and do it all over again?'Arkan was looking at Draka furiously again as he saw that the injection that was the symbol of torture for him in Eldeir had a now greener liquid in it.Draka saw this and just smiled like he was Frankenstein in the flesh, well only a much, much more handsome Frankenstein. This was all in Arkan's mind of course.Draka just injected him and watched as the process of expelling the poison was much slower again and took some notes down.He had made custom earplugs for the inhuman cry Arkan always let out while for the first time in his life, he had come up with a way to manipulate his respiratory system to shut dow

It was the capital after all and everyone that could afford to stay there had to train their cultivation in order to keep up with the prices and avoid being killed by challenges as per the rules of the kingdom."Dzagori."A person called out as he walked over to someone he noticed in the crowd looking up.It was the name of the captain of the guards of the city gates.
