After having a comfortable sleep, Chaos woke up from bed with a lot of energy and vitality.
He looked at his side and found Abyss sleeping cutely beneath the blankets.
He began to recall when she was first summoned, it was perhaps within the first hours since his birth in this new world, so she had been accompanying him this whole time.
It has been over two months ever since then, although many would think this is not near enough time for someone to develop emotionally, through the various stimulations both in battle and in companionship, Chaos had developed greatly, he had gained more emotions and became less dull and more thoughtful, while becoming considerate of others and attaining a greater self-awareness.
Above all, Abyss had impacted him in a great positive way, alongside Belphegor and his close subordinates.
However, as Abyss… well, it was obviously a different relationship than with Belphegor and the rest.
After all, he had admitted he felt a certain romantic attraction to her, and he also found her quite pretty when he admitted it, and because Abyss thought the same of Chaos, they began a romantic relationship and had become boyfriends ever since.
At first it was rather normal for Chaos to not understand much about love, true love, was something he had never received on his previous life as a laboratory subject, but now that he had the freedom to develop emotionally and physically, he had begun to understand certain aspects of what love is about. And had admitted being in love with Abyss too.
Abyss, whose emotions were more developed than him, only grew more in love with him, and their relationship had strengthened to the point that both became the emotional pilar of the other one. Chaos had developed a closer relationship with her, sometimes even speaking things he wouldn't talk to anyone else, and she world do the same, learning more about one another made each other fall more in love with the other, understanding was a crucial part for a healthy relationship.

Yesterday was spent nicely, he had done a lot of things that didn't revolve around fighting, and he had a lot of fun, nonetheless. Chaos had begun to realize that there were still exhilarating things in life that didn't involve putting himself in danger to break his limits or whatever.
Despite how monstrously strong he was, he even enjoyed things such as attending his crops below a bright sunny day, enjoying a large dinner with his friends and girlfriend, and simply eating delicious food, drinking refreshing ale, and being… happy.
Was this what his father wanted of him?
Belphegor had never questioned Chaos nor anything he did, because he knew that he wasn't being forced to do it, Chaos was merely doing what his father wanted him to do, which was to have a fulfilling life, to enjoy it however he wanted, and to… live life to the fullest.
So in short term, yes. Chaos was doing what his father wanted of him, Chaos was… having a life of happiness, despite the hardships, despite the enemies that popped up out of nowhere, and despite the many threats that would soon befall upon him, he was living a fulfilling life.
His enjoyment of a daily life of leisure activities only had strengthened his resolve, he looked over at Abyss as his heart began to beat faster. He gritted his teeth and looked at hist, grasping them with tightness.
He knew deep down that everything was frail in life, this happiness, everything.
And for one person to attain true freedom, you must first become strong, strong enough so nobody can mess with you anymore.
By living this peaceful bits of life, he only strengthened his resolve to fight even harder and to defeat his enemies even swifter and precisely. Unlike many would think, living like this didn't made him softer, because he began to comprehend the preciousness of life, he understood that it was a beautiful and incredible treasure he couldn't let go for anything in the whole universe.

This life, these people, the Kingdom he had built, Abyss at his side… They were all his most precious treasures, the things he had to hold on tight and to never let go. It had become, perhaps, an obsession, but it wasn't a bad one, but one that would only make him even more ruthless and therefore given him higher chances of survival in the future.
"This world… this happiness… this family… I am not going to let it go…"
Chaos muttered a few words to himself, to carve even deeper his resolve into his mind, his eyes flashed with such intensity that his distortion capabilities began to tear apart space itself.
A small black hole opened where Chaos had been looking, he got a bit startled by it and quickly let it close itself.
Boop.
It seems that he had to be careful, if he thought things too hard and ended increasing the intensity of his thoughts and resolve to incredible levels, his abilities might rampantly come out without him realizing, and things such as a giant black hole appearing out of thin air could be a reality.
Such as the ridiculousness of Chaos powers, he was truly someone powerful… But was this enough? Was this truly enough to let him defeat beings as powerful as Gods?
He had to grow stronger, although he had been growing stronger at insane pace, it was not enough, he was still stuck at Pseudo Demi Deity, he wanted to become a Demigod quickly.
For that, he required more essence, absorbing the essence of two dungeons at the same time, devouring the summoned octopus and more, wasn't enough yet, he required more essence, more "EXP"!
He looked over the window, the dark horizon emerged, far away, through his incredible eyesight, he was able to see the shores of the isle, a large highly technological city was erected, where many spaceships floated above it.
This was his next target, space pirates.
He was going to clean them from HIS island, and then, move on into the large continents of this dark planet… Endless challenges and adventures await those willing to take them.

Old Riding Author Lunatic Asylum
Just off the A19, in the dark, incomprehensible lands known as Yorkshire, there lies a town. A town where shadow-silent alleys glint with the secret hunger of knives. Where blood soaks the chipboard window shutters of forsaken terraces stretching off into the night. Where the smog-choked air rattles with the depraved laughter echoing out from clubs that can only generously be described as post-apocalyptic. Well, that’s Middlesbrough. But down the A19 a bit (an impossibly long way down, actually) there lies another town: Raughnen, in the ancient, forgotten Old Riding. It is an equal match in muggery and thuggery alike. It also has magic spells and pointy wizard hats. And now, across the miles and across all sensibilities, a pretty nasty power (a magic one) calls out for its pretty nasty counterpart (a decidedly unmagic one): a proper sound Boro lad. Nothing good can come of it. This is a collection of one novella and four connected short stories: I. A Yorkshire Summoning II. Old Riding Day Trip (the novella) III. Heaven is a Parmo IV. Death on the 66 V. Death on the 257 In total, this comprises 34 chapters totalling around 35,000 words, so try not to worry. It will be over relatively quickly. There are three more short stories with more tenuous links to the core collection: Rush, Paper Round and Scenario 79: Sausage Fingers, all of which can be found in my collection Short Records of Misadventure. Reading these may allow you to make more sense of certain parts of the story, if any sense is to be made at all. NOTE: There are instances of prejudice and discrimination within these stories, including elements of sexism and ageism, which are purely the thoughts and actions of the characters involved and which certainly do not reflect my own views on these matters. ANOTHER NOTE; A WARNING, PERHAPS: This can get a bit weird. In less than 150 pages, we have four viewpoints, first and third person narratives, and a completely disjointed plot with lots of gaps, dead ends and no real resolution. Also ZERO lunatic asylums. It's all a bit odd. If that sort of thing isn't your cup of tea, which it most likely isn't, it might be best to move on now.

The apocalypse happened and it was named- The system’s advent
The world either ended or it began when the system came online. People can now be immortal and the laws of reality are intertwined with what the people of earth know as RPG game systems. All of this and yet it is only the begining. What is in store for humanity when everything they thought was just smoke and mirrors turns out to be as real as they are and far more deadly. One man went back in time because of an event that shouldn't be possible to a place he had forgotten. For him it was a chance at redemption for a life he is ashamed of. It was a chance to make things right with the people he couldn't face before it was too late to say sorry. A changed man will attempt to defy logic that he doesn't even realize exists. He tried to be the dashing rogue and failed, he tried for the overbearing shield bearer and was worse than useless, he tried to be the rightous paladin and not even the dark gods would accept him. The only path left was the 'weakest' of them all. Ok so alot of you probably reading this are people who have read my previous works and I can only say 'thank you for your incredible patience' so much before it gets awkward but for those you who don't know this is my third story and no I haven't dropped the other two it's just that tragedy struck when I was writing them and I haven't been able to get my motivation for them back yet so I'm trying this as essentially a jump start to get back into the fight so to speak. I'm really hopefull that I can pull this story off the way I want it to be but only time will tell so here's to hoping, now let's get this show started.
