《Re: Pessimist》Chapter 18: The Something Epilogue
Advertisement
And so we began our long and arduous walk back to the settlement where my sister was conspiring to make us a good two-shoes. Now of course to avoid transforming into an unknowing little shit I had to make sure I didn't act evil. Flare prefered to remain manifested as in her own words: I want to beat the living shit out of her.
So when we finally returned to the settlement and saw that the people I had inebreated were still as such, I was relived to say the least, that didn't count as evil to some weird almighty judging shithead.
I've found it.
List of Great Acts of Evil:
1. Genocide, because obviously.
2. Genocidal Rape, you'd have to be some monster to not think of any of these.
3. Blasphemy, cause religion.
4.Starting a war just for the hell for it, if you do this you go to hell, even stevens.
5.Sororicide, we know you're reading this Ewan.
6.Familicide, we REALLY know you're reading this.
7. Urbicide, I have nothing funny to say for this one. Just don't do it.
Great, so a dick is in charge of what evil is. So we can't exactly threaten my sister now... let's just say I did it and that I want my rewards.
GOD DAMNIT! THAT BITCH HAS RUINED EVERYTHING!
Alright so now Flare is going to be bitchy again, we have really lost a lot. My sister is evil, I didn't think that was a family thing.
Me and Flare made our way into the pretty princess' little house, when we did step in they were rather surprised, I'm not sure if they think I picked up a whore or if she is just a prisoner.
"Oh... Alfred you're back." Sylvia was sat down, fiddling about with her fingers. She is a really shit liar when it comes to putting a curse on other people. "Who is she...?"

"This is a prostitute I found on the way back from committing regicide, seeing as how I had just killed a king and was bored I brought her." If you heard such a thing you'd surely be pissed off if it was you I was talking about, but Flare didn't care in the slightest that I called her a harlot.
"You're the bitch who cast the fucking ritual on us, didn't you?" Alright, right into the pan with her. Not to say I disagree, but it would've been more fun if we waited.
"W-Wait what?" Sylvia was rather surprised, which is odd because I'm sure she should've sensed something was up when I called her a whore.
"Okay, the jig is up. You cast a fucking wishing ritual on us and you tried to make us good-natured!" The accusations are out! Let's see how she tries to defend herself.
"Wait a second... who is she? Why didn't the ritual even work? Why did the entire world burn and suddenly revert back?" Okay, so not only did she not defend herself she didn't even know what was going on.
"I'm Flaryvna, the goddess of... A bunch of shit. This is... uh... Alfred, my paragon. We burnt the world, then some other goddess decided to play God's advocate and healed it. That's about it..." for hating her, Flare is really willing to help her fill in the blanks.
"Putting all that crap aside... the ritual didn't work when it was certain to have." Sylvia looked at the both of us inquisitively... like she's figuring something out. "You killed an entirety of adventurer's over a book. You have more motivation to kill all the dragons and me... yet you aren't."
Fuck.
She is the only rational person, did you think she wouldn't figure it out?

If only I could kill her.
"It worked." A smile crossed her face. "You aren't acting evil because it worked!"
Alright, now that we've set that up, it's time to fuck with her.
Wait what? What exactly are you planning?
Watch and learn, midget.
With my sister content with the fact that she had made a good person out of me through force, I took the time to just walk up and burn the dragon princess and her bodyguard. They practically were consumed by black flames within seconds and eventually became ashes on the ground.
I see...
Please explain.
You killed the dragon princess and her bodyguard, which is just murder and doesn't count as a great act of evil, hence we don't activate switch.
You... actually got that correct. I'm genuinely shocked. Is this really Flare?
100%.
I'm not an idiot...
1 out of 10 times you aren't.
"Oh look sis, it worked! They aren't alive anymore because it worked!" Sylvia was horrified, which is kind of expected now. "Great, now that we're done show me where they kept their shit."
"Fine..." Sylvia got over it rather quickly, I suppose she has learnt a lot from hanging out with me.
So what do we do now?
We remove this ungodly skill, murder all the dragons, kill Sylvia and then we get more ingredients for a ritual and then we become a giant robotic dragon with a unicorn and instead of scales we have fur and then we continue on our search for alcohol.
We did originally depart for that reason didn't we?
I forgot.
Nobody is surprised.

8 161After the End: Serenity
We all want to believe we are heroes of our own story - unless we want to be the villain, of course. At the end of everything, the Final Reaper decided he hadn’t been a hero. Driven by a desire to right the wrongs he was subjected to, he killed everyone who wronged him or his people - which turned out to be everyone that wasn’t killed by someone else first. He'd won - but it was a hollow victory. Eventually, Order’s Voice found a way out. If the only existing being would agree to give up most of his power, the Voice could reset the multiverse to an earlier time with a few minor changes. Of course, the Voice couldn't ask it that way. It could only ask if the Final Reaper was willing to start over from when Earth was first brought into Order. It was an easy decision, and yet it wasn’t. Was he willing to go through eons of pain again to not be alone? Yes. In a heartbeat. Not that his heart beat anymore. Now it would. Perhaps he could even be a hero, this time. When he landed in his old body - more or less - on Earth, the Final Reaper once again became Thomas. He was both and neither. He needed a new name for a new life. Serenity. ------------------------------------------ While this is technically a System Apocalypse story, it's a System Apocalypse that is designed to have a large percentage of the population survive and prosper. There are a lot of problems that come with the appearance of the Voice, and it's entirely possible to lose. Earth has some special opportunities, but also special challenges. The first time around, Earth won the first round and lost the second. Serenity has ten years from when the Voice arrives to prevent that from happening. It will be a group effort; Serenity can't win alone - which is difficult for someone who's been alone for as long as he has. Of course, that's only his second priority. ------------------------------------------- Updates Daily A note on the nonhuman lead tag: He isn't human, and hasn't been human for a very, very long time (or maybe not long at all, depending on how you count it). He still thinks of himself as human, either way. The content warnings are mostly to give me room to write; this fiction is not intended to be edgy, but once in a while a character will swear or someone will get seriously injured. The cover image is a Chandra/Hubble composite image of VV 340 / Arp 302 / UGC 9618. While we're not going to space itself any time soon in the story, people from elsewhere are coming to Earth and Serenity will visit other planets. Plus, I like space imagery.
