….
I followed him for quite a while now. He refused the Council's offer and so the hunt was on. Nobody can refuse them and if you do, you become a heretic. They will hunt you until the end of existence.
And if they catch you, they seal you inside the black hole above their city and then they forget you. I don't know how many of us are rotting inside that dark timeless place.
It is worse than being caught inside a void zone, some have told me. But they couldn't explain why... I hope I will never find out.
I leave the path and stand before him. He is weak and tired. How far has someone of us to run to get tired? I don't know.
Around us is a barren wasteland with four suns in the sky. Not much can live here.
“I guess you guys will follow me wherever I go? Is there even a place where you can't find me? Can I at least ask for the name of the one who caught me?” He asks
I smile. “I am Seria. And they will always find you. There is no place, a god can hide from the Council. There is only one way to escape.” -Me
“How?” -Him
“You have to die and forsake your divinity.” -Me
“That's all? But I have no divinity! I refused to become a god! They offered me the job and I turned around and ran!” -Him
“Then how are you walking the multiverse, if you are no god? Something only gods can do?” -Me
“...”
“The Council doesn't make you a god, they just want everyone to believe they do. And it would be very bad for their reputation if there were gods, who weren't selected by them.....” -Me

“...”
“Do you want me to help you? I could save your soul, but you have to decide fast and the price is high.” -Me
“What is the price?” -Him
“You will be no god any more. You will loose your memories and start anew. Maybe you will get them back in a distant future, but they will never feel like your own again. In turn for saving you, you have to help me when I ask for it in the future. And you have to trust me and lower your guard.” -Me
“...”
“You must decide now.” - Me
“Hahaha. Fuck this, I never wanted to be a god anyway. Do whatever you have to do.” -Him
“This will hurt for a short while, but you have to stay still.” -Me
He nods and I trust my hand into his chest. I see the pain on his face, but then he starts to smile and his body dissolves into light. He didn't even twitch, he must have a valiant soul.
I look at the two shimmering marbles, which are now in my hand. One for his soul and one for his divinity.
Someone arrives and I turn to him, while forming a fist to hide the two marbles.
“Where is he?” -Tjenemit
“I managed to intercept him here, like you said. But he wasn't as weak, as you predicted. He resisted and stepped onto a path. He got away.” -Me
“What! Damn! Why didn't you stop him!” -Tjenemit
“I tried.” -Seria
“You call yourself a god of live and death, but you can't catch a puny little half god, who just found out how big the multiverse is! I lost much time through you. Now I have to start the search anew!” -Tjenemit
“I will try to do better next time. It seems like I am just not cut out as a hunter. But the Council just keeps enlisting me, because I am faster than others.” I smile at Tjenemit.
“I will keep an eye on you from now. You are acting strange recently! Gods just disappear around you much too often.” -Tjenemit
He turns around and fades away.

The Spark
Michael Locke was a normal student, who went through his normal day in a normal fashion, until the day became... unnatural. Shot into the country of Aldemar and thrust into a new world alongside his many classmates, he agrees to work for the king in exchange for shelter and to learn magic. Fate however, is indifferent to his wishes, as he quickly realizes that he may be a hero, but his purpose in this world is quite opposite. Suddenly surrounded on every side, Michael must work to survive, and if anyone finds his secret... He's as good as dead. The Spark is meant to be a murder mystery style isekai, focused on the existence of basically an anti-hero, with every one of the large amount of heroes attempting to discover who the traitor is. This isn't made to be a lovey dovey easy going isekai with an OP mc, it's made to stir around an emotional story, with many dark tones. Still, the goal is to stay fairly light hearted as well, and the perspective will pass around to several characters throughout the story.
