When I looked around, I saw that the room was currently empty."Umm...is she away right now?" I asked."I don't know. Probably? But when she senses us, the goddess of washboards will likely come over like a good doggie," Difar said.Ignoring his comment, I walked over to one of the thrones and examined it.Not for any particular reason, of course. I was trying to pass the time.This was a restricted area and only high level Attendants and Enforcers were allowed this far up.The throne room was also usually only reserved for Enforcers and Enforcer candidates.Meaning that we wouldn't have to worry about the language barrier if we ran into someone.Cassandra, who had not taken her eyes off of me since we arrived, moved closer."Darling, can I have a kiss?" She asked hopefully.I kissed her and she smiled."Please don't start again. At least wait until I'm out of the room. Valthiem already told me what you were doing last night..." Difar said."What!? Was she spying on us!?" I asked."On
We walked into the meeting room from before and Difar had already pulled up a chair to sit in near the wall."Oh, good. You're here. And Dante hasn't executed you which means he trusts you. Cool. Now, I have some questions. Who are you, how do you know me, who is that asshole sitting in the chair, why does he terrify me so much, and what was that abomination hanging out next to him earlier?" Iris said.I cleared my throat."My name is Mizik and this is my wife Cassandra. I know you from a previous timeline, that asshole is Difar and he's an abyssal god. The abomination is Valthiem, the Avatar of the Void. She won't hurt anyone unless ordered to do so," I said."Umm...wow... I didn't actually expect you to be so compliant..." Iris said."I know better than to complicate things with you. If you want more info, I am...or was..." I straightened myself and saluted Iris using the traditional Enforcer stance. "Enforcer Seat 8, Mizik Iratus. Special Forces for the protection of Ignitus and he
Over the many years Vakra had spent on Delvandal, not once had he ever noticed anything like a significant temporal anomaly forcing things to revert several years.Not anything like Mizik had mentioned, anyway.So when Mizik took the Cursebreaker and its crew, he was mildly prepared for the possibility that Mizik could die and cause such an anomaly.However, Vakra also wondered why he had never felt such a thing before.After all, if this story was to be believed, Mizik had been killed at least a few times before. And the False Source of the Corruption that had recently infested their world seemed to confirm Vakra's theories with his way of speech.That the reset anomalies do not affect the whole of creation.Just the worlds affected by Corruption or Mizik's presence.So Vakra found it quite intriguing that shortly after the Cursebreaker left, he felt something.Vakra was highly attuned to the intricacies of time and space. As a literal walking and breathing paradox, he was well awar
Before I could react to Vakra floating before us, he shot forward and placed his hands on both mine and Cassandra's faces.In an instant, I felt my entire body shift and warp.I wanted to scream in pain, but I couldn't.It hurt, but it also felt very pleasant.As it went on, I began to have several very familiar feelings in my body...Then, everything came rushing towards me all at once. I saw my entire life flash before my eyes and finally hit the ground.When I opened my eyes, I immediately stood up and looked around.Vakra's skin melted off and he remained as a skeleton."Dammit... Oh well, at least I got here in time... Gah...that feels weird..." he said."Vakra...?" I said.I noticed that my voice sounded slightly deeper than normal and I looked at my hands.I saw the scars Cassandra had given me so long ago. And then I felt my power... The incredible beating heart of the world as well as my Ultra Aspects.Then Cassandra also stood up.She looked older as well. Around twenty-two,
After a particularly interesting night with Cassandra.Who apparently had wild masochistic tendencies towards me...I allowed myself to sleep under the watchful, yet terrifying gaze of Valthiem.As I dreamed, I found myself floating in the place where I had died in the past.That is to say...The Temple of the Oracle.Instantly, I was on guard. The fires of my rage began to flare up.I could see Rose glaring at me and I returned a menacing gaze."What is the meaning of this!?" I said angrily."I wish to talk," the Oracle said."GO FUCK YOURSELF!!!" "Such language... Are you unwilling to hear my words?" The Oracle said."TAKE YOUR WORDS AND CHOKE ON THEM, YOU LYING MURDERER!!! BURN IN HELL!!!" I yelled."Grandma. Shall I execute him for his language?" Rose said."You do not have the power to do that right now. This is a spectre of his mind that I have conjured to speak with. Harming it would only force him to awaken. I would rather you didn't," The Oracle said."Of course, Grandma Orac
As I looked at Rose standing in front of the Enforcer HQ, I could tell something horrible had happened...It was like I could almost hear Bravery screaming for me for help.[Bravery... Your salvation is here. My allies will liberate you.]"Bravery, your salvation is here. My allies will liberate you," I said.Rose looked at me strangely and then glanced down at her sword."What sort of trickery are you using this time, Demon Lord Mizik?" she asked."No tricks. Those were the words of Vengeance. Not mine," I said."Also, he's definitely not a Demon Lord. And...wait...Cassandra?" Iris said."Umm, Iris... She is...or was, my identical twin sister. My darling Mizik's ex-wife," Cassandra said.Then Michael wistled."Wow. That is a pretty girl. You were hitting that, Mizik?" He asked."I...well, yes actually. But this really isn't the time, Michael..." I said."Mizik only hit me once at the border of Kalsa to knock me unconscious," Rose said."Kinky..." Michael mumbled."She doesn't know wh
"What is this...? Your true and terrible form...?" Rose asked."[Only partially. My full power cannot be manifested, yet. But I am hopeful that this will be enough to slay you. I am Vengeance, Overseer of the Deus Arms.]""The spirit of Mizik's sword, then? This should be interesting. Yes...a battle worthy of song! My name will be hailed in time eternal for slaying you!!!" Rose said."[You will die. You will be forgotten. NOW PERISH, FALSE WIELDER!!!]"Vengeance threw both of his swords at Rose and they flew like spinning sawblades.As they impacted her, I felt pain shoot through my body.[The final form of Bravery is a defensive weapon without equal. All who face it will break upon it. Bear with it for now.]I'll try...After Vengeance caught his swords, Rose extended hers.Light shot from it as if she had used sunlight blade.But it stayed instead of dispersing immediately.Her shield glowed with radiant power.I felt drawn to it. Like I really wanted to attack her and no one else.
Getting used to living in the Abyss hadn't been the easiest thing I'd ever done...One thing I had been worried about was whether or not the Abyss had restroom facilities.I was delighted to learn that people down here still had some form of bodily function to dispose of unneeded waste...Unfortunately, the 'toilets' were very complicated.However, they were still mostly usable.Except requiring three arms to flush...Next, I learned how the Abyss functions.There were no separate worlds down here. Instead, places in the Abyss are divided into realms separated by barriers or 'gateways'.There were levels of dwelling.The highest plane was where we were, currently. This is where Difar ruled.There were areas below as well.Supposedly, they went down for a very long time, but no one here was quite sure how far it went.The further someone went, the less civilized things became. Eventually, you would begin to only encounter horrifying, nightmarish abominations bent on killing you in the
