《I Am the "God of Death", Whatever That Means. (Original)》Seraph's Test and The Choice. Chapter 9 (Original)
Advertisement
'Great, now this is bad.'
"YOU ARE NOT COMING WITH US."
"Yes, I aaaammmmm!"
Liafa and Emeralda were both arguing about if Liafa would be leaving her room. Vert went to leave and he could feel stares of death being pointed at his back.
'Fuck.'
Vert turns around to find both of them smiling ear to ear but like the other time, there was no friendliness in the smiles. Vert began to think to himself about what to do and he finally decided.
"You can come to Liafa, but where I plan on going will be outside of the dungeon. Are you sure you're up for that?"
Liafa's face began to shine brightly and she had a huge smile. She nodded her head to accept Vert's offer as she easily ignored the dangerous part. Emeralda clicked her tongue as she thought about lecturing Vert later. Vert had cold chills go down his spine as he felt his impending doom was coming. He shook it off and headed back to his room, Liafa and Emeralda following him.
****One hour later*****
Vert immediately regretted his former decision. Liafa saw how lifeless his room was and began to put plant life all throughout his room. He really hated plants for some reason. Vert decided to ignore it for now and was thinking about how to get out of this dungeon. Emeralda was holding onto Vert like Liafa was going to steal him.
"Hey Liafa, you said you were just reborn, what does that mean?"
Vert decided to try to ease the tension in the air by starting a conversation.
"Welllll, a hero came by a while ago with his friends and went inside my door so I went to great them. I was in my adult stage at the time and as I walked up to him, he stabbed me in the chest. I died then, but since we are Godly beings we are just reborn."
Vert had not known about being reborn since he was never killed. In fact, he knew nothing about being a Godly being or what the "Council of Gods" were. He thought about asking Liafa but then he heard her scream. He quickly gets up and turns around to find Liafa was gone and a hole was in the floor.
'It looks like the floor caved in.'
Vert can hear Liafa crying so he jumps down the hole even though Emeralda is telling him not to. As he lands he can see Liafa laying the ground while holding her head and she is crying. Vert teleports to her and then he can feel it. A presence which he has never felt before. The presence is so massive that Vert can't directly pinpoint where the creature is. It begins to show itself and Vert can tell what it is. It is a demon. It's about 10 feet tall and has hooves for feet. The demon's red fur shows of the whiteness of its teeth as it is smiling towards Vert and Liafa. The demon has wings on its back and claws that look like they could cut someone in half at any moment.

"It seems you have finally come to face me God of Death. Let's see if Seraph was right about you. He ordered me to test you and that is what I'll do!"
As the demon hissed these words a flash of wind went straight towards Vert. He was unable to react fast enough and his arm was sent flying. He slowly looks down at his arm and sees blood is spraying out his chest where the arm was. He goes down on one knee and begins to scream not from the pain but from anger. He can feel himself begin to slowly lose consciousness. It's not like he is going to pass out, but it feels like his body is being taken over. Right before he completely loses himself he feels a hand on his back. He can feel his arm begin to grow back at a rapid rate. He turns around to see Liafa is the one who healed him. She gives him a soft smile.
"See, you need me for even the dangerous moments."
"I guess you're right, now stay back while I end this demon."
The song begins to play at and it is "Look at me!" from XXXTentacion. Vert skips right to the part he wants and that's at 0:25.
"Yah, Aye, Yah, Aye, Haha, Yah, Aye, Yah, Yah, Yah, Aye, Aye, Aye, Aye."
The Demon was laughing at Vert as he just kept saying "Yah" and "Aye" but he wasn't ready for what was going to happen next. As the beat drops and the song begins and Vert teleports and punches the demon in the face. The demon is sent spiraling backward but Vert does not let up.
"I'm like bitch, who is your mans? aye, Can't keep my dick in my pants, aye."
As the last "Aye" was said Vert is behind the Demon, who was is still spiraling backward and puts his elbow into the demon's spine. The demon spits out a bright yellow blood and is sent flying back the other direction.
"My bitch don't love me no more, aye. She kick me out I'm like vro, aye."
Vert teleports above the demon this time, who has yet to touch the ground and brings down the heel of his foot into its head. The metal boots shatter one of the demon's two horns and cause the demon to go into the ground. A crater is left from the impact of the demon going into the ground.

"That bitch don't wanna be friends, aye. I gave her dick, she got mad, aye."
The demon had recuperated from the blow to its head already and went after Vert, but at the end of this "Aye", Vert decides to block the attack from the demon instead of attacking. The demon brings it claws forward in an "X" and slashes towards Vert. He puts his gauntlets and blocks most of it but gets a small cut on his face. The demon seems to be getting furious now. Vert continues to be on the defensive throughout this rest of the first verse of the song since the demon is stronger than he thought. The first chorus Vert decides to dodge the demon's attack since it was getting very dangerous to defend.
"Fuck on me, look at me. Ayy, fuck on me, yah, look at me. Aye, look at me, look at me. Yah, fuck on me, yah. Aye, look at me, yah, fuck on me. Look at me, fuck on me. Yah, look at me, fuck on me. Yah, aye."
With every sentence being said the demon tried to attack Vert but he swiftly vanished and appeared somewhere else around the demon. At this point, Vert was observing the demon and testing out his own limits. The demon begins to howl and it increases in size. It is about 15 feet tall now and it seems to have gotten 3 times as strong from the aura it is letting out now. Vert decided he would end the demon by the end of the song since it was getting too dangerous for him and Liafa. The demon waited for Vert to make the first move.
"T took a white bitch to Starbucks, that little bitch got her throat fucked."
At the end of those lyrics, Vert appeared before the demon and slashed at its throat. He successfully made a massive slit in the demon's throat. It went down onto its knees and had its hands on the ground to prop it up. It was gasping for breath intensely.
"I like to rock out like I'm misfit, my emo bitch like her wrists slit."
Vert proceeded to cut the demon's hand at the wrist and completely cut its hand off. Gold blood was spraying everywhere and the demon fell face first onto the ground.
"Curly haired bitch like I'm Corbin, got, like, three bitches, I'm Mormon."
Vert kicked the demon in the head and knocked most of its teeth out. The white sharp teeth were scattered throughout the whole floor. The demon was completely unresponsive at this point but it was still alive.
"Skeet on your main bitch's forehead, don't want pussy just want head."
Vert had picked up the demon by the chest and head butted it. A massive crackling sound was heard and the demon went limp. Its eyes were still open though and still full of fight. Vert grabbed its throat and began to squeeze with immense power. Vert stared into the eyes of the demon with eyes void of any mercy.
"Look at me, fuck on me. Look at me, fuck on me. Look at me, fuck on me. Look at me, yah. Ayy, look at me, fuck on me. Look at me, fuck on me. Look at me, fuck on me. Look at me, yah."
Vert said the last word to the song and the demons throat collapsed under the pressure of his group. Its blood began to flow all over Vert like a fountain. Vert was smiling since he had never had this much fun in a fight in his life. As the gold blood rained down onto Vert, Liafe began to snickered. Vert turned around to see what she was snickering at and then she spoke up.
"If I would've known you are kinky and like gold showers, then I could've helped you out."
Vert just looked at Liafa with a cold stare and she began to lose all color in her face. Vert drops the demon's corpse and walks up to Liafa.
'I need to make a choice here, either accept Liafa's feelings or tell her I'm not interested.'

An old ex-mercenary hungry for adventure is reincarnated in a world of swords and magic, with no trap powers, just his own strength, wits, and outlandish friends. P.S.

Luck And Chronomancy
Time Magic is the best magic as everyone knows, although there are lots of unique Talents in the world. Most people only remember Haste because it is hard to get to higher Phases of Chronomancy. That is still enough to make the Talent iconic. A lucky enough Aleatory Talent can position you for greatness or leave you languishing in obscurity. The only true equality in the world is when that glowing message pops up at 8 years old. Even if it doesn't activate until you are an adult at 16 you still know. Sure you can find a new dungeon spawn and get another chance at a rare Talent, even this one, but you have to already be ready to delve into the *Far Wilds*, which is far easier with wealth or family power. This is the story of where my good fortune took me and the difference it made, even among a party of 7 others including an Arcanist. It is a journey of magic and monsters but also math, which some think is actually worse. Luckily I was born with Intelligence and Focus as my personal traits, and my parents were scholars. Of course Chronomancy can also be a frontline combat talent. Versitility well beyond other Elder Talents like Gravity, Abstraction, or Arcana. Might could have worked for me, too. I also met a runaway princess. All the best adventures have a princess. She hated being a noble and we didn't get married but it still counts. Besides she really filled out our front line. All that Leadership training came in handy. I still don't know where she's from. Who cares? How well Haste goes with giant hammers is what's important. I never learned much about anyone in the party, except the one I grew up with. I'm not a people person. I just wanted to optimize dungeon clearing time. *******Story Details******* No romance, politics, or traumatizing content, slice of life, or even dialogue. 1st person narration, like a guide/adventure log. 2000-7000 words a day, maybe 40-60% rpgish combat log with some reasoning on combat decisions, with the rest character Talent discussion and progression stuff. 8 person party with a decent variety in roles. Party members usually have 2 primary functions. Told from the support/control Chronomancer's perspective. Each party member will have 6 Basic/Background Traits, then 3 actual Talents with abilities. Capstone from their Educational Institution, Arbritrary as a gift from the temples, and Aleatory which is decided at birth, revealed at 8, and activated after adulthood at 16. Aleatory Traits ignore requirements and are random why is why they are so important. They'll gain new Talents from finding Dungeons to consume in the *Wilds*. Mature dungeons in cities can provide *Challenges* to raise the Phase of a Talent, up to 3 times from 1 to 4. Each character will get to roughly 8 non-Trait Talents. Attributes come exclusive from Talents, are required by Talents, and provide various effects as well. I designed about 220 Talents with abilities, 4 in each of 4 phases. "Traits" are just Attribute stuff. I'm not sure how many will be detailed in the story, more than 100 for sure. I used Talents because I want to be free of the legacy of tabletop. Half those rules are just because of the limitations inherent in a pre-computer ttrpg. This story mostly uses combat Talents, although like 1/3 of the 220 are for crafting and other society and economy stuff. If you really wanted to be a Thief you might take Intuition, Awarness, and Might for Basic Traits and Deftness, Manipulation, and Trickery for Family/Education. Then you'd pick Acrobatics, and Climbing for Educational Capstone and Arbitrary traits. You Aleatory Trait might be Shadow(Light/Dark) Magic, Umbramancy. A Bard might swap Dexterity for Charisma, Music for Acrobatics, and have gotten Illusion(Shadow/Sound(Air/Force)) for their Aleatory Trait.
