《Eve of Gods》Prologue

"I am a God."
Ahan sighed, feeling a headache coming. It had been ten years since these hallucinations started where he would always imagine himself in a completely different world wherein he was a god, looking after his believers from his Divine Kingdom, granting them his divine grace.
Then the war started -- an Om(Aum) symbol would form in his mind and with a ringing sacred sound, he would wake up to reality.
It was seven in the evening. Ahan continued hammering down on his keyboard like nothing happened, eventually breathing a long sigh of relief after uploading the last chapter for the day.
He is an ordinary author and university student pursuing his Bachelors of Engineering in Virtual Reality. Like everyone else, when he started college, he used to have lofty goals of forming his own entrepreneur team and co-founding a startup.
Ahan assumed that he could make a fortune in the world with his VR simulation skills or entrepreneurial mindset, only to realize regretfully that he had neither the gift for business nor virtual reality. Only his ability to write web novels was acceptable-- albeit barely.
Nonetheless, having written three novels over the last three years of college that had received adequate views and reviews allowed him to earn more than what a normal Senior VR Developer earns in a decade.
He was proud of his achievements! He sent back fifty percent of what he made in a month to his parents and still lived like a king. He had already bought a flat in Chandigarh and had his own hover-car, a Mercedes-Benz X-Class.
Life was great, except all these stupid hallucinations.
This was what he thought until the day, he heard a female voice in his mind.
"Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya."
He knew 4 languages due to his varied interests: Sanskrit, Hindi, Japanese and English.
Those words in Sanskrit meant:
"I bow down to the Lord who resides in the hearts of all beings."
Suddenly, everything started to make sense to him, all of his memories returning!
With his hand, shining with blinding white light, he drew the symbol of Om in the air.

Nero Zero
Monsters plagued the lands for too long. No matter if one had fangs, beak, teeth, skin, fur, or feather, or was tall, stout, or diminutive, the people suffered. Until the Gadgeteers came with a device that could allow people to fight back. Powered by one's own magical power, feeding off of monster Essence, the Arbitrium bracer turned the tables. It also changed society. Strength of one's level cap was all that mattered. The strongest were Kings and Emperors. The weak or those too poor to afford the marvelous device, destitute. And so it has been for millennia. All that mattered was one's level cap. High, low, a fate decided the moment the strange contraption came alive. Too high and you were a threat to those interested in keeping the status quo, a weed to be nipped before it could grow and take root. Too low and you were nobody, fated to be a bit more than a simple farmer. What if someone, somewhere, came up with a zero for their level cap? Unable to use Essence, unable to level up. On all of recorded history, it never happened. Until it did. In a small village of fur-less and tail-less ape-beastkin, a boy found out he was uniquely handicapped. Nero's level cap was Zero. But he'd never let that stop him from reaching his goals. ------------------------------------------------ All stories have already been told. We merely reuse elements from them. From Joseph Campbell's Monomith to Stephen King's advice, and that encyclopedia of tropes you've visited, fiction has been dissected and reassembled countless times. One will surely find elements inspired on other works here. Just like cooking from basic ingredients, the recipe and presentation is what really matter. This is a fantasy adventure, of someone that goes from a zero to a slightly bigger zero. It will have romance but no harem. Cruelty but with hope dimly shining ahead. Lightweight where it can be, heavy where it must. Thanks for reading. Cover Credits (The cover is CC-BY-NC-SA): Steampunk Spider Bracer, by Daniel Proulx.
