《Samsara: The rise of Darksteel》Chapter 5 - Error, your math sucks
Advertisement
Looking over the character sheet he smugly thought to himself, if this were to be born on earth it would raise a reign of fear and destruction. I didn’t even need to nerf my talent or qi, but I forgot to look at positive and negative qualities. Seeing as how awesome this guy is, he doesn’t need them though.
Finishing up the character, he rolled up the sheet and started playing the drums with it out of boredom. A few hours later, after Kael had read 96 different peoples boring life stories, sat and spun in Azabael’s sweet office chair until he wanted to puke, and built a house of binders. Boredom did not seem to finally claim his life before Azabael finally appeared in the room. As soon as he appeared the first thing he saw was Kael sitting in his prized chair, at his desk, with a rolled up sheet.
Although the sheet looked normal to Kael, all of the samsara examiners owned the Eyes of Judgement, which could see and judge the truth of all things. In Azabael’s eyes, the seemingly normal sheet of paper looked like an ancient scroll made of gold. All of a souls information was not written upon the scroll but carved deep into its surface. Depending on the karma imbued it would glow a white or red shade. Due to the amount of karma stuffed into the scroll, it was like a miniature sun to his eyes. Azabael stared at it, filled with horror he shouted to Kael, “Quickly, put that down!”
“What's wrong A-man, I already finished it, I was just too bored waiting for you.”
“That’s impossible,” Azabael said, “If you had finished it you would have reincarnated already”.
“No your wrong, I would have been tortured first, but what are the final touches to something like this anyway?”

“I forgot you are insane and opted in for torture. To finish it, it just needs a stamp”
“Like this?” Kael asked as he picked up the stamp and stamped his character.
The last thing Kael heard as everything went dark was Azabael screaming, “Noooooo”, like a Skywalker wannabe. Soon Kael found himself undergoing the most insanely painful torture that existed. Most of them were so horrible his mind blocked them out so he could not recall them. The one that particularly made him shudder was swallowing massive shards of glass, followed by a mixture of lemon juice and salt. The worst part wasn’t just swallowing but what came after. Time blurred until one day he heard that sweet droning voice again, “Reincarnation initializing”. Finally, he thought, my torture is over. However, just as that thought crossed his mind he heard that voice again.

After looking through everything and feeling like he got royally screwed, Kael felt his eyes growing heavy.
