《Death's Door》Volume 7: Chapter 2: King of All
Advertisement
“Who sent you?”
The beast lay in tatters, ripped into pieces, with only a torso and head remaining.
If it were anyone else, the outcome would have been wildly different.
Unfortunately, his opponent was none other than the King above all Kings, Lord Solaris.
After sensing the deaths of at least ten lesser gods, Solaris took the matter into his own hands.
And he dealt with the creature rather swiftly.
Monster did not stand a chance.
“I will ask you again….”
Solaris stabbed his spear into the creature’s flesh, burning it upon contact.
Monster screamed in pain, but Solaris did not feel merciful.
This creature was different in nature from a Titan. Most of the Titans were currently sealed away in the Purgatory after all.
Its energy signature reminded Solaris of a strange mix, similar to that of an angel, but far more powerful, with a hint of a deity.
Creature’s power was unfocused, almost like a feral animal acting upon its basic instincts. If it had focused its power, this monster could give Primary Gods a run for their money. The Secondary deities did not stand a chance.
Solaris: “Who sent you?”
Creature’s only response was…
“…ather…muuust find ….ather….”
Solaris: “What?”
Solaris: “What is it you speak of? Could it be…has he finally come to challenge me? Where is he? Where is the King of Evil and Darkness? Where is the King of Black?”
But the creature kept repeating one word ‘Ather….ather….ather’
Suddenly, marks appeared on the creature’s body.
They were not extension of the monster’s magic; instead it seemed like something that was cast on the creature beforehand.
Before Solaris could react, the creature’s form vanished without a trace.
It was a remotely cast teleportation spell and a powerful one at that.
Solaris clenched his fist.
Again, his questions remained unanswered.
Again, he was no closer to finding his greatest adversary than he was before.
Tiri’s words echoed in his mind.
Tiri: “The day shall come, when he will rise and you shall fall”
Even in death, Tiri mocked Solaris’s inability to prevent his potential downfall.
Tiri: “King who was born against a King who was made, who shall triumph in the end, I wonder?”

Nero Zero
Monsters plagued the lands for too long. No matter if one had fangs, beak, teeth, skin, fur, or feather, or was tall, stout, or diminutive, the people suffered. Until the Gadgeteers came with a device that could allow people to fight back. Powered by one's own magical power, feeding off of monster Essence, the Arbitrium bracer turned the tables. It also changed society. Strength of one's level cap was all that mattered. The strongest were Kings and Emperors. The weak or those too poor to afford the marvelous device, destitute. And so it has been for millennia. All that mattered was one's level cap. High, low, a fate decided the moment the strange contraption came alive. Too high and you were a threat to those interested in keeping the status quo, a weed to be nipped before it could grow and take root. Too low and you were nobody, fated to be a bit more than a simple farmer. What if someone, somewhere, came up with a zero for their level cap? Unable to use Essence, unable to level up. On all of recorded history, it never happened. Until it did. In a small village of fur-less and tail-less ape-beastkin, a boy found out he was uniquely handicapped. Nero's level cap was Zero. But he'd never let that stop him from reaching his goals. ------------------------------------------------ All stories have already been told. We merely reuse elements from them. From Joseph Campbell's Monomith to Stephen King's advice, and that encyclopedia of tropes you've visited, fiction has been dissected and reassembled countless times. One will surely find elements inspired on other works here. Just like cooking from basic ingredients, the recipe and presentation is what really matter. This is a fantasy adventure, of someone that goes from a zero to a slightly bigger zero. It will have romance but no harem. Cruelty but with hope dimly shining ahead. Lightweight where it can be, heavy where it must. Thanks for reading. Cover Credits (The cover is CC-BY-NC-SA): Steampunk Spider Bracer, by Daniel Proulx.
