P(r)ologue
“Hey kid. Can I ask you a serious question.” An older woman asked me.
“Um? Uh sure. Go ahead.” I gave a reply.
However, she didn’t ask her question immediately. Only stared upon the streets. Carriages moving around with children running and playing around. She looked at the children and a smile carved on her face. As if enjoying the calm atmosphere that brightened up with their smiles.
“Are you afraid of me?” She asked me, her eyes looking at the playing children.
How did she…?
My stomach rolled and my throat dried up. My chest tightened and my body feels hot. I tried to answer with something, my mouth opened, but nothing came out. I repeated that same steps a few times, my mouth opening and closing but no words coming out. In the end, I just stayed quiet.
“Don’t think I didn’t notice all the times you unconsciously touched your right arm. During that time in the interrogation room and even that time in the hideout. I thought maybe you had an injury or something. But I think I understand now. Is losing an arm really that scary to you? Or is the thought that a monster who could easily kill you is right in front of you?”
The feeling of my right arm shaking was suddenly made aware to me. Just like what she said. I immediately went over to hold it.
My eyes darted around to search for an answer to that question. What do I tell her? Also, Monster? No way she is a monster! After all the things she did for me, for us, how I could I ever think that way?!
This bubbly, happy, relaxed and sometimes violent woman.
No way I could…
“... a little bit.” I replied to her hesitantly. Letting go of my right hand. My still shaking right hand.

I didn’t give her the chance to reply just yet. I just slam my right arm on top of the table for her to see. I then took a deep calming breath before trying to calm myself. My right-hand slowly stopped shaking before coming to a complete still.
“I don’t think you are a monster Miss Effinshia. But… It’s just that… I can’t help but have these scary thoughts…” I said before trailing off into empty words.
“Not a monster huh... ” I could hear her mutter under her breath.
It was then that I saw that her lips curved upwards into a smile.
“You know. I knew a person like you once.”
“Hmm?”

Until Death? (Refleshed Version)
Ever been a god? Well, I was! Until I died.... and got judged by the other gods! Apparently, they didn't like the whole "My Faith is the only true one!" idea. Oh, and for the record: The Apocalypse wasn't intentional, ok? In my defense, I want it to be known that my enemies threw the first stone and the whole 'Offer the other cheek' just isn't my thing. Seems like, for punishment, I get sent onto a vacation! Or so I hope? ——————————————————————————————— Reading Order of the Multiverse-Books ——————————————————————————————— Author's Comment: It's here, a rewrite? Yes! I would like to think that this version will have better grammar, better jokes, hopefully, everything better. Since it was my first work and started solely to improve my English, the grammar always caused me headaches when I looked at it. Well, and there are the plotholes which appeared with the whole multiverse thing that came with my other works... Let's just say that the first one was never written with the idea of turning it into a series. So let's get a shovel and fill-up the plot so that hapless readers won't fall into those pitch-black pits. They might break a knee! Or worse, vanish forever. And now the disclaimer everyone knows: I was asked about reading my work on other sites. The answer is simple: Currently, I am not active in any other networks than royalroadl.com. Only here, I correct mistakes and errors. If you read it anywhere else and have to pay for it or have to deal with an annoying amount of advertisement, You Are Being Betrayed. You would do good if you make other people in that network aware of it. This is a free project of mine for the purpose of having fun. And if people try to make money with it you shouldn't bother visiting their website. The only one whom I actually allowed to have my work on his website is Armaell who invested the time to compile them into pdf. (http://armaell-library.net/author/andur)

Cycles of Ruin
Civilizations rise and fall. Kith build them up and monsters, led by powerful dungeon keepers, bring them to ruin. For three thousand years the cycle has been maintained by the Guild of Chaos and its endless hordes of minions who—in absence of their long lost creators—have taken it upon themselves to keep the realms of the universe in balance. The Guild has grown efficient at this task, but some among its ranks have begun to ponder the utility of a universe that has been robbed of the very possibility of change. Basil von Doom is one such dungeon keeper working for the Guild, leading an army of loyal minions from one conquest to the next; burning civilizations and sifting through the ruins in search of forbidden knowledge that the races of kith were never meant to possess. But having spent more than half a century in pursuit of glory and fame—trying to live up to the legacy of his father—Basil has grown indifferent towards his work. Desperate for a worthy challenge, but bound by his duties as a dungeon keeper, he has turned his mind towards uncovering the ultimate fate of the previous master of his house and the secrets that were buried with him. Now the young Master of House Doom must balance his growing interest in pursuing the trail of his father with the responsibilities that come with running a dungeon in service to the Guild of Chaos. To remain in good standing with the Guild, Basil has even accepted the task of mentoring an apprentice dungeon keeper, a young succubus named Elnora. It is at the tail end of her apprenticeship that the story begins; with a civilization poised to fall—its greatest heroes gathering for one last assault on the heart of darkness—and Basil striking up a conversation with his apprentice that will set into motion the unraveling of the universe. ***This is a rewrite and continuation of my story that was first posted on RoyalRoad a few years ago.
