Chapter 18 – End of War, A new Beginning?
Aslar..
I’m going numb, and I can’t feel my body that’s been covered with deep wounds, maybe this is it. Maybe all my effort will be for nothing. As the blade of the Shadow Katar travels at a fast speed to my direction, everything slowed down and things flashes before me. Being born as the only child, having parents that love me so much. Helping them at the farm, dreaming big of becoming a hero, protecting the innocent and helping those who were in need. Maybe those are just dreams that can never come true, real life is so hard compared to dreams.(real life is a bitch LOL) Please God give me hope, give me strength, and give me one last chance to prove that I’m worthy of this sword.
Aslar prayed to God, but nothing changed, no sign, and no light from the heavens, not even a single word from God was heard. Aslar was waiting for the Shadow Katar to slash his body…..
.
.
.
But it never came.. the blade of the Shadow Katar was right in front of his eyes, only an inch before it connects to his forehead. He was surprised when he saw Hedley wrapped in cloth and metallic chains, and those metallic chains and clothes came from a kid, with black skin, no face and was covered with the same chains and cloths that stopped Hedley.
Hedley: “What!!! Who the fuck!!” Hedley looked at his backed and was so pissed to the one that stopped him.
“Who the fuck are you kid..” as Hedley struggles to free himself from the chains.
“arrrghhhhh,, what the f--… I can’t even break free from this.!! SHITT!!! Who the fuck are you.”
*Marzanna was now looking proud at everyone, and put her hands at her hips, saying “that’s my Harvy”*
The two champions were dumbfounded about this situation.
What happened was, as Hedley sucks all the flowing soul at the River of Souls, the supple of souls stopped coming to the Altar of Judgment. (where Marzanna works) And as the souls stop coming to the Altar of Judgement, Harvy quickly investigate about this phenomenon, on why the souls stopped coming out of the portal/River. Harvy entered the void, and travelled to the River Of Souls, and as he saw that the River of Souls was opened, and that the souls were being sucked by a man, he immediately took action.
Hedley: “FUCK!!!FUCK!!!FUCK!!!!! I’M GOING TO KILL YOU..!!!
Hedley tried to absorb the souls from the River of Souls, but Harvy stopped the souls by wrapping it with his chains, and he slowly fixed the hole that connects the River of Souls and Etryria.
Hedley: “SHIT!! SHIT!! SHIT!!!”
Hedley channels the miasma to strengthen his body, but even though he gains strength, and his muscle bulge the chains that holds him becomes tighter and stronger. Hedley was now loosing mana fast, and becoming weaker by the minute as the Shadow Katar Eats his mana.
Aslar who were watching the scene, starts to heal some of his wounds, but his mana were inefficient, he can only stopped the bleeding but cannot close the wounds completely. The bright glow of his armor was now shading like the sun going down at the horizon. He saw that Hedley was now very weak, and all his muscles were so thin, he was shocked that the Shadow Katar was now Eating Hedley’s life force. Hedley runs out of mana, and by that he cannot control the Shadow Katar resulting to the weapon eating its wielder. The Shadow Katar was a cursed weapon, when the Shadow Katar Limbo was on its final form, one must have the sufficient mana or black miasma to maintain it and wield it. Aslar takes this chance to give the final blow, consuming all his mana and giving it to the Holy Sword Thunder Steel Eternal. The sword emits a blinding light, with cracking sound of lightning, and took his stance to make a vertical slash. Hedley was so weak, that he can’t even breathe properly as his eyes look at the incoming sword.

Aslar: “AHHHHHHH,, I’M ENDING THIS [ETERNAL JUDGEMENT]!!!”
Hedley’s body was cut in half, as small orbs of bright lights slowly engulf his body. His body was now just a pure light with small discharge of lightning around him; his body starts to gradually become a dust of light particles, and only the Shadow Katar remains.
Giving the final blow, Aslar loses consciousness, and never saw what happened to Hedley and the Shadow Katar. He was now falling back to the ground as his Armor [Thunder God Embodiment] starts to fade away.
King Lucius was resting and watching the fight, and when he saw that Captain Aslar was falling, he run as quickly as he could to catch the falling man. A loud sound of horn was heard from the opposite army, it was a sign of retreat, and some even lost their minds that their Leader lost in battle. Aslar’s army cried in victory, declaring the war was over, and the dark sky turned to a bright day.
The men and women that participated in the war were crying, hugging, cheering, and even slammed their swords at their shields, as the mages cast fireball making it explode in mid air, similar to fireworks.

Elous: “Ahhhh, that was a good show, hahaha..”
Marzanna: “hihi, didn’t saw that coming..”
Cassandra: “hahaha,it’s all thanks to Harvy.”
Etarr: “That poor champion of Tagruer, he was so close in winning.haha”
Evrasil: “It was pure luck, I guess”
Voslene: “Hmmm, my God, sorry for asking, is that kid Harvy, a new Celestial being?”
Elous: “Hmmmm, kinda, but his just a minion of my Valkyrie Marzanna.”
***
Elous..
And all my Valkyrie and Celestials starts to make conversations about the war. I called Tagruer and thanked him for his job well done.
Elous: “the war was nice, Thank you for your effort Tagruer.”
Tagruer: “It’s nothing my God, I’m just doing my best to give you the best results of what I can, Thank you my God.”
As a reward, I was about to give him a coffee but is it okay to give coffees to a child?? Well his old enough but I just gave him a portable gamming console, his expression was priceless. Hahaha. I told him not to show this gift of mine to the other Celestials and Valkyries. He just nods with sparkling eyes. I also gave him an instruction on how to use it, and I put a lot of games in there. I gave him this playing console so that he will not get bored and create too much war. After that, he hides the console in his pillow.
After that, all the celestials get back to their own business and we (I and the Valkyries) went back to Elysium.

Khabad-Aslar.
I felt pain all over my body, the softness at my back gave me a relaxing feeling while the birds were chirping outside. I felt the heat of the sun saying its greetings to my face. I slowly opened my eyes; I was inside a room, on a large bed. I looked around, and as my eyes gazed at my surroundings, the room was so fancy; it felt like I was inside the manor of the richest noble in the city. I quickly got up as I was looking for the Holy Sword, I looked to my right and it was there. Shining like the sun, and on its perfect condition. I’m wearing a simple white renaissance shirt paired with hose leggings. I took my sword and exited the room, I walked at the familiar hallway, and I was at the Cathedral.

I’m kinda lost at finding the exit until I met the Pope, and I gave my respect.
Pope: “ohhh, Hero your awake, I was about to visit you at your room. How are you feeling right now?”
Aslar: “Hero? Ahhh, I’m fine, some parts of my body still hurts, but I can manage.”
Pope: “Yes, hero. We are grateful to you for saving this country.”
The Pope was still talking, but flashes of scene from the war rushed to my head. I now remembered all those men, being slaughtered, the King Being Killed, the time that I was about to die, the mysterious kid who helped me, and the last blow I gave to Hedley..
Pope: “Ahhh, Hero?? Ehem.. Captain Aslar??
Aslar: “ahhh,,what? Sorry, I was just lost in my thoughts; the war was still fresh to me. How many days have I been out?”
Pope: “As I was saying, you were asleep for 3 days. Come let’s go outside, we are still celebrating for winning the war. Come, come.!!
I was still lost at my thoughts, how come they can celebrate? With most of the soldiers dying, and specially the King.. The priests at the cathedral gave me proper clothing before I went outside. As the Pope had said, I was greeted with a festival, loud music, smiles and laughter of the citizens, men and women drinking, and all of them greeted me, thanking me none stop. I was giving them a fake smile, as I was regretting all of this celebration. When the afternoon came, I went to the graveyard, there I saw countless of family, crying, mourning, whipping, and screaming in sadness. I can never give them back their love ones, it broke my heart, and I was angry at myself for being weak. I can only give them my condolences; they all tried to give me their sweetest smile and thanked me for winning the war. I can only reply with “I’m sorry, I broke my promise to you all that I will come home with all of them, I’m really sorry….” As tears start to fall continuously from my dull red eyes. All I can hear from them was, “It’s not your fault.” “We are honored that my husband was part of your army.” “Thank you.”.
After that day I’ve traveled to Coabluff, to visit the family of King Gallio. When I got there King Lucius was also taking part of the ceremony for the burial of the King. They’ve waited for me to start the ceremony; the King was inside the Castle at the Throne room, and on the table lying on the bed full of the purest white flowers. All of the King’s friend, his children, King Lucuis and I, gave their last word for the King.
The King was buried at the cliff next to the sea, and next to his wife’s grave. Only I, King Lucius and King Gallio’s Children were left at the cliff, we were all lost in our thoughts, reminiscing our last memory about the King.
***
The nameless continent was named after the Hero, it was now known as The Holy Land of Aslar. Aslar was the Hero who led the war and save the people from the barbaric people of Maford. The war was called the Great War of Blackmoor (the river was named blackmoor river). Aslar was given a nobles name by the Pope, and was now Aslar Stavros, the Hero.
***
Elysium
Elous: “Ahhhh, that was fun to watch. Now the background story was now complete, my game world is almost complete; I just need it to grow more.”
Cassandra: “What are your plans now my God?”
Elous: “And now I sleep… for a long time..hahaha”
Cassandra: “Can we join you at the bed?.... Please?”
All my Valkyries are looking at me with puppy eyes, *sigh*. Can’t help it.
Elous: “Okay you can join me, but first let’s go skinny dipping at the pool.hahaha”
All my Valkyries jumped and cheered like cute girls. We all took our armors off and started swimming, I created foods and drinks, and played some party music. We are now having fun at the pool bare naked, playing different kinds of games, and watching their mounds bounce on the water. J
After that we went back to my mansion, but when were about to enter my bedroom someone called me… there was a ringing sound inside my thought, and a screen popped out in front of me.
Alert!! Thought Call.
Caller name: Father
Answer End
I pressed Answer.
Father: *loud voice*“uhum.. Hello, Hello.. check, check,, do you hear me?”
Elous: “arrghh, I can perfectly hear you. Lower it down.”
Father: “hahaha, sorry, I’m just testing it, hello son, how are things at your side? Are you good? How’s the God business doing there?”
Elous: “I’m fine father, I’m doing great actually.. How are you?”
Father: “hahaha that’s good, same here I’m great, thanks for asking.”
Elous: “so why did you call all of a sudden?”
Father: “nothing,.. I just missed you, and I was wondering what’s up with you, so I just called, you know.hahaha”
Elous: “well I’m great and all, thanks for the concern. I’m hanging up now cause I have..uhmmm important things to do.”
Father: “WAIT..WAIT..WAIIIIIIITTTTTTT..”
Elous: “what is it?”
Father: “There’s one more thing.”
Elous: “what is it Father?”
Father: “I’m sending you a soul, from your old world. She’s cute actually but she has an attitude. So for being cute, I gave her options. And she said, she would like to be reincarnated to a magical world and be a cute beastkin. Sooooooooo I’ll be sending her to you…Right Now……BYE!!!””
Elous: “Wait what..” he hanged up on me, and as soon as he hanged up a soul came out from a portal similar to when I was transported here..
Elous: “ARGGHHHHH, you lolicon perverted old man.. *sigh*”
What can I say to an otaku God.. The soul just floated in front of me, I was startled when it started screaming…
Soul: “AHHHHHH!!!… HENTAI,, PERVERT,, WHY IS A MAN NAKED IN FRONT OF ME…AHHHH!!! I CAN’T COVER MY EYES.!!!” She was just an orb of flame with no physical body.. * LOL*
Elous: “argghhh quiet down.” *cursed you perverted lolicon otaku God*
“Giving me an annoying soul..arrghhh.”
Soul: “HEEEEEENNNNNTAIIIIII,, YOUR PERVERT, GET SOME CLOTHES ON,,, I CAN’T TAKE THIS ANYMORE…UHUHUHUHU,, I JUST WANT TO BE A CUTE BEASTGIRL..I DON’T WANT THIS..”
I orderend Marzanna to send the soul to the Reincarnation Chalice, I don’t care if she got reincarnated to a cockroach or something nasty. On second thought, I changed my mind. I gave the soul a special skill, if she wants to be a cute beast girl, she needs to earn it. In my palm I created a small orb of light, this orb will help her make her dreams come true, and I throw it hard to the annoying soul. It hit her hard, * I think she was knocked out from that, well I’m sorry LOL * the orb of light was absorb by the soul. I told Marzanna to randomize the time of the soul reincarnation. Marzanna just happily accepted my orders. I just told her to follow us at my room after she’s done with the reincarnation.
*AN: I’m planning to make the reincarnation another story, if I can manage to.Still thinking about the plot, and all.*
We went to my room and I slept for who knows how long. I told my Valkyries to get back to their work after they had their sleep, and I forbid them to interact with Etryria while I’m sleeping. I want to be surprised of what will be the result, if the Divine Providence Elous was gone for a long time.

Dauntless: Origins
Snow white hair, blue eyes, pale. Devil, monster, mutt, failure.This story follows one Tyr Faeron, crown prince, heir primus and mass murderer. A wrathful, angry, and lost young man that has made it his goal to hunt down the men that killed his mother - and he is on the cusp of finishing the promise he'd made before her cairn stones so many years ago. On the surface he is duplicitous, whimsical, and base of cunning - but within the depths beyond the many masks he wears, something is waiting. Waiting for an end, the end he'd come to long for, whether it be to himself or any possible threats in his vicinity. After that long labor of vengeance is completed... Nobody knows, not even him - an arrogant and otherwise solitary individual with nothing in the way of friends - only the brothers of the blackguard who follow him through life as he pursues this mission. He was born a prince, but he'd be called a disappointment - failing to manifest the great power that he was born to before being summarily discarded by his father, a 250 year old 'primus'. That word again... Men who can shatter mountains and level cities, that's what he was supposed to be. Some call them demi-gods, all Tyr sees is a poor excuse for a parent. Time had made him bitter, cruel, and arguably psychotic - seeing only enemies wherever he looks. They'd come for him, too, one day - to wipe the slate clean and make room for another - and it's his conviction to ensure that he dies while taking as many of those rats with him. This is a story about finding acceptance, growth, and understanding - from the point of view of a cold and brutal individual who wears many masks. Of someone who was born to be the greatest emperor the eastern continent has ever seen - but he failed in that. Strong, yes, but only in the context of a man - Tyr's magic is weak. His convictions are weak. He has been made a beast of instinct by loss and a constant confronting of his own impotency in the face of his father. A mythos that stretches across planes, of magic, a pantheon of cruel gods. Of someone who's dedicated his entire mind to the art of killing a man, and none to living a normal childhood or coming to understand friendship, empathy, or compassion. The first five years of his life a mystery, a hole none have ever been willing to fill, leaving him warped and twisted. His formative years gone and what must've been most of his humanity along with it. Now 17, he is on the cusp of leaving the city he'd never been permitted to leave for what might be the first time in his life. Always searching, though he won't know what for, for some time. An episodic that follows experience and symbolism rather than a never ending series of battles - where the conflict lay in constantly searching for wholeness in lieu of great villains or heroes. This is where it all started, the origin, the tale told a million times - and yet it hadn't been, 'reality' is tricky like that. The greatest lie ever told by the tongue that speaks is that any of this was real at all.
