《Manifestations of Faith》Prologue
Advertisement
Keep to your faith, send your devotion. Bless the divine and be blest in turn.
Keep to your path, your sight true, your mind clear. For blessed souls of Wargain, the Shadows are watching, listening. Be pure, your nature a shining light to pierce the dark of the Ruiner, the Maker of monsters. Shine, shine my fellows, cast down his tempting thoughts, shatter his many plots, burn the heretic corrupted by his touch.
Keep to your purity, for our gods are always with us, our ascended brothers at the ready to end the machinations of the Ruiner, he has no power here, so have no fear. Shine bright and hold your weapons high, for all is clear. We are the future, Wargain followers, the shepherds to herald the age of Order. We shall cast down all the vile distortions of chaos, we shall rise and shine like none ever before. So dear brothers.
Keep to your faith, keep to your path, keep to your purity, for war calls, Wargain beckons, new lands await us. The realm shall shake, civilizations shall bow, the savages shall be converted, the heretic shall burn.
Keep to your faith, keep to your faith, keep to your faith. For the Shadows are amongst us, their whispers closing, his touch nearing. Keep to your path, keep your purity, do not listen, to not falter. Ignore the words of his champions, the offers they peddle.
The power…
Keep faith. Keep faith, devotion is rewarded, the halls of Valor await all worthy, high and low. Keep faith, shine bright, keep his words from your mind, his lies, his secrets.
Such secrets, such power.. Such freedom.
Keep faith!
Even as conquest takes all you love.
Keep faith!
Even as you are left behind to rot.
Keep faith!
Even as you lay forgotten in a bed of death. Alone, neglected, just another follower out of millions.

Keep, keep. Do not listen to the offers, in all of Wargain name, do not, do not…
You will hear secrets, you will see the truths, you will be freed from all the lies. You will rise, you will ascend.
Do you hear his words? So kind and understanding, do you see his Shadows, always guiding, always tending. Do you see how close you are to your fellows, welcomed and appreciated? Power given without fear, none planning against each other. Devotion answered with warmth, blessings often granted. Knowledge provided that even the most studied scholars lack.
Do you see it my fellow, how death means nothing? A moment delay to the inevitable. We have all the time in realm to work our trade, to free those chained to gods only interested in themselves.
Do you see we are eternal? The Shadows always watching. The Shadows always listening. The souls that are truly free.
Send your Devotion my fellows! Spread his name!
Malan the Healer, Malan the Lifeworker, Malan the Guide.
Malan the bringer of Wonder!

Impressed at the Mage's efforts, an ancient, powerful being, the Creator of Gods, has now chosen him, to become one of the Dungeon Gods of a new world in a new segment of reality. Their directive, to bring life to this new world. Follow him, as he brings forth the knowledge his efforts awarded him, and pits it against his unprepared competitors, in a bid to be the first to create sentient life. This is my first full on story, and is mostly going to be a learning experience for me. It is going to be a story following the life of Arcius as a Dungeon God, with very few POV swaps, if any. If I make any errors, either in spelling or in grammer, please let me know, and I will endevour to correct them ASAP. I was inspired to create this story after reading the Scale Dungeon, by TheSilverGunner, here on RRL. It is a good story, despite having only a few chapter out at the time of writing this. I highly recommend that you read that story if you find this one interesting.
