2024-10-29 19:42:56"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. Arkan asked the one question he wanted to ask.
"If you are immortal, then what happened to you? It seems like you are bleeding, and getting worse by the second."
He asked.
"This... Well, let's just call it misfortune coming to finally collect."
Oizys said mockingly.
"We are immortal, because we cannot die, but can be killed by other guardians by stealing their divinity."
Arkan was confused by this.
"You said you cannot die, but yet can be killed?"
He asked.
"Yes, because misfortune will always exist, that means I will always exist. Unfortunately collecting that divinity takes time and collecting the amount needed to form a body or shell, let alone influence the rules takes time and too much divinity to do so."
Oizys said as his condition got worse.
"So that blood? I feel my soul calling for it. Is it..."
Arkan said, making Oizys smile.
"Yes, this blood.... it is what's left of my divinity that this body, this shell cannot handle containing anymore. You are connected to it because you have a spark of my divinity in your soul, but if you take any, your soul will be destroyed just like any other human with such a weak soul would."
Oizys said. Arkan looked at the blood that seemed like it had lost its luster. After looking at it, he just stood up from his sit, took his chair, walked away as far as he could from Oizys and his blood then sat down again.
Oizys could not help but laugh. It was like he knew his personality.
"So, some other Guardian tried to steal your divinity and succeeded?"
Arkan asked out of curiosity and safe from the blood that could erase his soul.
"Not a Guardian, but Guardians. All of the ones that have what they call their children, Chosen or shall I say, those chosen through reincarnation by them and carry their spark of divinity as they journey through Eldier and get stronger."
'Eldier? Is it the planet where they reincarnate?'
Arkan asked himself but there was something more important he had just heard from Oizys.
"Wait, so it took multiple Guardians just to steal your divinity and you are still here? How strong are you?"
Arkan asked and making Oizys smile as they were coming to the heart of why he had summoned Arkan there and they were running out of time.
"Misfortune, it is such an enigma, is it not? Just like chaos, fate, destiny, love or creation, we walk the grey line between many divinities, having three or more of the type of divinity that makes this universe making us, our nature."
Oizys said. Arkan was beginning to understand but Oizys continued.
"Misery, anxiety, grief, depression, death, and many more are some of the sprinkles that make my divinity as I take a portion of each as that is what makes misfortune. Not only that...."
Oizys smiled.
"I also take from what makes fortune but a small potion as there cannot be misfortune without fortune, just like there cannot be love without hate, chaos without peace, creation without destruction, and so on."
Oizys said.
"Damn!"
Arkan could not help but exclaim. He smiled as he realized how powerful this person, this Guardian was and the fact that he wanted something from him. He also could see why a Guadian of chaos, destruction or verse visa would be so powerful.
"So its jealousy that did you in?"
Arkan asked.
"How unfortunate, is it not?"
Oizys asked. Confirming that that was indeed what did him in.
"You see the others, such as Misery, anxiety, grief, depression, and so many that make my divinity have Guardians for such. But, they are too weak to pose a challenge to me. That was until luck was on their side."
Oizys said.
"There were 13 of them and 5 of them were powerful enough to hold their own for some time against me with one being troublesome."
Oizys said as his body started to dry up. There was even less blood in him at that point.
"Ohhh...."
Arkan said, not sure what to take from what Oizys just said.
"Lust, disease, hate, mischief, luck, sinister just to name a few out of the 13, and the most troublesome of them all, DEATH."
Arkan unconsciously gulped when he heard the last name. Oizys did not allow him to cower over such a deadly name that loomed over every living thing nor did he let him ask why such a fore would want to fight and steal his divinity and so he continued.
"Ever wondered why Truck kun sends all those people to a different world but before they get there they meet a Guardian?"
He asked and that question snapped him out of his stupor. It was a question he and Alax always debated about.
"Because all you gods get bored and putting us in such situations is fun to watch for you."
He said the point he would always rise when talking to Alax about this.
"Wrong... Well, that just comes with the package. You should ask yourself why meet with a Guardian if that was the point. Don't you remember something important I said?"
Oizys said as he pointed at Arkan's belly button.
After a few moments, Arkan's soul reacted and he realized something.
'Not a Guardian, but Guardians. All of the ones that have what they call their children, Chosen or shall I say, those chosen through reincarnation by them and carry their spark of divinity as they journey through Eldian and get stronger.'
Arkan remembered his words. Oizys nodded.
"That spark is our nature. As that person reincarnates, that spark of divinity will bring such travesties around that person that match the nature of the spark whose Guardian that park belongs to. As that person gets stronger, defeating the very nature that is in his very soul, we get more divinity and more control over its nature."
He continued.
"If that reincarnate has the spark of the Guardian of Chaos that person's life will be full of chaotic events that could take their life at any time, same as the spark of diseases in which that person will have to deal with diseases for the rest of their life and so on."
Arkan gulped again as he came to a realization.
"So someone with the spark of misfortune..... They will have to deal with misfortune for the rest of their lives."
Arkan said unconsciously, not wanting it to be true.
"Yes."
Oizys did not disappoint, but he had another surprise for him that calmed his heart.
"But, there is no misfortune without fortune, chaos without peace, a disease without a cure, and love without hate. So the saying goes ' WHAT DOESN'T KILL YOU, MAKES YOU STRONGER."
There was a light at the end of the tunnel after all. That was until Oizys continued again.
"But, just like it is hard to find a cure for any infection like it is hard to find peace through the chaos, it will be as hard to find fortune through all the misfortune that will rain upon you."
This made Arkan look down at the floor and say nothing for some time. He looked up and saw Oizys smiling again.
It was amazing how a Guardian of misfortune would smile so much while even on the brink of death and how his smile was still as warm as the first time he saw the dying Guardian.
"That is why Truck kun chooses those suitable with our nature and sends them to us, with you being an exception as I used a considerable amount of what was left of my own divinity to bring you here without his help."
Oizys said.
"What do you mean?"
Arkan asked.
"You have sailed the dark murky waters of misfortune for all your life and dealt with the creatures that dwell within those waters while you were only a child. Moreover, you thrived in it until someone holding an incredible power put you down."
Oizys said, making Arkan remember Danny and his gun.
"Now you can start afresh and conquer that deep dark sea as you will have the power to challenge anyone who brings a gun to a sword fight, let alone a bazooka. Lasers are everything after all, right?"
Oizys knew him well.
Arkan smiled at the reference but still took it as the mention of lasers instantly improved his mood.
"That is the spirit. So, do you accept the offer? To reincarnate as my Chosen for the first time?
Oizys said as his skin started to dry like the desert itself.
Arkan had always wanted to reincarnate and no matter what Oizys wanted him to do, Arkan would never lose the opportunity to reincarnate into a magical world. That was if he could get the power to shoot lasers.
He nodded and hoped that he would receive some if not all the powers he had fantasized about.
"So, it is time to get you ready to kill all the reincarnated who are in Eldian. All 13 of them, well, except for one."
Oizys said and making Arkan stand up.

'hahahahaha!.... I guess just like 007 this is the part where I get my gadgets for a secret mission.'Arkan had an evil laugh in his head as he thought of the powers he might get, well, that he hoped that he would get.Realizing the nature of the spark of divinity he had, he shattered at the fact that it wouldn't be farfetched for him to be unfortunate when it came to that too.Oizys laughed again. 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. I would not be a good father if I did not spoil you a little now, would I?"Hearing those words made Arkan to be optimistic again. The fact that he would be a child, a Chosen for a Guardian, and him calling him his child made him emotional for the first time. He could finally have someone to call his f

Oizys held his hand out and a small light with a tint of red but as bright as the sun floated on the palm of his hand."The ability to emit light through a process of optical amplification based on the stimulated emission of electromagnetic radiation. 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. Radiation is almost impossible to manipulate using mana."Oizys said. 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

He needed to get to his hideout in case anyone traced the shots that were fired back to him.He had to cross the street to finally reach the neighborhood that he controlled and feel safe again.He looked left and right then crossed.Out of nowhere, a white truck appeared with its headlight brightened and at full speed.

Arkan – Intuition VS System VS A.I The hooded man
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

The hooded man made up his mind. He looked at the cliff and with no hesitation, he leaped off the ground and started to climb it.In no time he had made it to the barrier that was the sea of dark clouds. 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. He was above a great forest that stretched for as far as his eyes could see to the east of him.On the north was the sea of dark clouds that had rolling hills as high as skyscrapers keeping it at bay. That was where he was standing.To his west was the capital of t

The three could not help themselves as they sized the hooded man up and down.Two of them were middle-aged males. The one who had spotted him looked skinnier than the other who looked like all he knew was fighting and never read a book in his life. The last was a woman wearing leather armor.They were all wearing impressive armor with the men carrying long swords and the woman a bow and a short sword. It was the woman who spoke next."He doesn't have his defensive shield up. Don't you remember your training from the guild? Some who do not put up their defensive shield are powerful bastards that do not want to show how strong they are, with some of those being crazy maniacs who kill anything that comes close to them for the fun of it while for some it's for their cultivation."She said.The person who first spotted the hooded man sized him up again and could not help but smile wildly even more."And some are weak fools who act strong to keep good guys like us from our meals."He said a

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.

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.

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
