《Theomancer》INTERLUDE 1: The [Introduction] 1/2
Advertisement
[You are currently in a pocket dimension called NEXUS]
[Said dimension has been created by a being known as the God of Creation]
[The God of Creation is as old as existence and came to be as soon as the concept of reality was needed]
[The first act of the God of Creation was to Generate beings akin to himself: The first gods were so created]
[First came the God of Time, so that everything may move forward]
[Then came the God of Life, so that other beings may exist]
[And then came the God of Death, because everything needs balance, so to avoid Stagnancy]
[Satisfied with his two new creations, the God of Creation proceeded to create Matter: both physical and meta-physical so that concepts like material and immaterial had a reason to be]
[The God of Life and the God of Death, inspired by the act of their progenitor, tried to accomplish something similar: the second gods so came to be]
[The God of Life created the God of Growth, to Nurture the Matters that were slowly being created]
[The God of Death in response created the God of Decay, to quell the Growth of Matter and avoid Overgrowth]
[The God of Creation had just finished creating raw Matter, and decided to let his creation decide the Path that it would follow]
[The God of Growth started creating Suns, the Stars that dot the sky and provide light, by condensing the most unstable part of Matter]
[The God of Decay at the same time condensed the tamer parts of Matter, creating dead floating husks, ready to be used for else]
[Seeing a grander scheme, the God of Time decided to act, instilling motion into the Bodies previously created, generating a perpetual rhythm in time]
[Unbeknownst to them, another being had started forming when the God of Creation came to be, the Goddess of Destruction because, by the first will of the God of Creation, existence would not tolerate stagnancy and everything had to have an opposite]

[The Goddess of Destruction loathed everything in existence, and the more there was, the more her powers and compulsion to Destroy grew]
[Taking advantage of the absence of the opposite of the God of Time, the Goddess of Destruction went against her own instincts and created the Goddess of Luck, for it being whimsical, it had the power to create opportunity, and it was all the Goddess of Destruction needed]
[And so, what looked like the infinite conflict between the God of Creation and the Goddess of Destruction started]
[An innumerable number of attempts at complete Annihilation later the God of Creation realized that the reason for this conflict was that he instilled creation with the concept that only Opposites would avoid Stagnancy, and that Collaboration was a much-needed thing]
[With a great deal of effort, the God of Creation removed the stiffness that he had introduced into existence when he came to be, and multiple things happened at once:
First, the Gods snapped out of a Trance, finally able to step out of their pre-existing roles, just like the Goddess of Destruction had once done. Second, the Goddess of Destruction realized the folly of her way, and decided to collaborate with the God of Creation, temporally spent, in creating two new Gods, in honor of previous events: The God of Conflict and the God of Harmony] Third, the presence of only God-level conscious beings indicated the possibility of lower intelligent beings, those that could be affected by every God: Mortals] Fourth, the concept of Time was below that of Creation and Destruction, so the waves generated by their fighting over existence will have repercussions for all of Time]
[Mortals were a true novelty to Gods, able to embody multiple properties from the get-go, whilst still having the opportunity to gain and lose them, resulting in a rapid e numerous differentiation]

[The more primitive beings were too unlike what the Gods originally envisioned, while the more sapient ones always thirsted for far much more than they thought possible: And so, the Last Gods came to be]
[For what would develop into animals and plants the God of Nature was created, to guide them through Instincts]
[For the Intelligent beings the Goddess of Knowledge was created, with a similar thirst for ever more]
[But the ripples of the previous Godly War could not be stalled any longer, repercussions were at hand: multiple realities experienced drastic changes to the previously unnamed energy that dictated the will of the Gods across existence, Aether, some simply gained a modicum of control over a diluted version of it, Mana, other saw their planets ripped apart from it.]
[And that’s where You come in:
We regret to inform You that your world suffered the latter.
You and any other that You’ll find around your person are the only remaining Humans in existence.
This new opportunity provided by the Gods is to be considered a Gift from the Gods in view of their unintentional meddling.
Know that the event before the destruction of reality, the activation of the Litchman reactor, would have caused a catastrophic failure in the membrane of reality, and consecutively flood it in Aether, disbanding Matter to its original state.
May You find solace in this new World created by the Gods and safe from the ripples of their fighting.
May You see this as an opportunity to start anew, forge your own path and pioneer the way for future generations.
Know that for conciliation and Introduction purposes your body, and that of the other Humans, has been altered for Integration: namely the introduction of the System, that You are as of right now capable of using; proprietary reproductive systems have been streamlined to enable crossbreeding, which is encouraged; and lastly, the Pacify Enchantment Woven into the temples, that are used as arrival points during Transference, that temporally alters the thought process, with the purpose of easing individuals into their new environment:

Path of Salt

Both of them survived that battlefield, and they both decided to return back to their Village. Tobias' ideals and expectations were shattered by the reality of War, so he decided to settle down instead. On the other hand, something awakened within Marcus. He woke up one day, only to be greeted by a floating panel of light. [Name: ... Marcus][Race: ... Human][Class: ... ... ...] [Hero] [Welcome to the System] What is a village-born Hero to do, but answer his calling? Current schedule: No chapters for the next few months. I'm still writing the entirety of Volume 2. WARNINGS:-Yes, this contains LitRPG elements after a slow start, promise.-This work is incredibly Slice-of-Life heavy-Also conversation heavy-Also plot heavy (But not in that way, unfortunately)-The pacing in terms of plot is slow -(Edit after a review)- This story is also known as: I honestly don't understand what's the difference between "light" and "dark" stories. I realized that far too late, so this story is... weird. It might be light at times, and dark at times, and in all honesty, definitely has dark undertones. Oh, and prepare to be disappointed or pleased by this story; I understand that this story is polarizing, at least. Cover made by: Fei (@Chippy03966650) / Twitter
