《Pandemonium of a Lazy Soul》Volume 1 The Arrival-Prologue: A Cliché fight resumed with An unusual Talk
Advertisement
"Curse you to hell demon!" Screamed a young man, with blond hair as he was holding a beautiful woman in his hands while kneeling in a pool of blood. The women had a hole straight through where her heart used to be, while the tip of her long white hair wet with her blood. She had the typical characteristics of every elf in a fantasy story, while the boy holding her was as human as possible, with his short straight, blond hair, with green eyes.
"You know it is not a curse if you tell me to go back to my own home." Said the man opposite the boy. The man was not human as he had 2 horns, 1 black and 1 white while having an extremely black skin with red eyes, adorning his grey hair.
"Why did you have to kill her Ez?" Asked the boy while gently laying the women down and picking his sword up and running up to the demon.
"You were too distracted and worried about protecting her rather than our fight, so I helped you out. Now come let's fight properly Arthur" replied the demon as he ran up to the hero, with his claws.
Sword met claws, both clashed as shockwave was emitted, tearing apart the land near them. While throwing both of them back
"Now this is how a final battle should be. Hahahaha!" laughed the demon, as he ran back to the hero and threw a punch to the Arthur, the hero in return dodged it and threw his hand not holding his sword at Ez. This kept going on, while the land around them turned into a warzone for natural disasters as elements were conjured by both parties to aid the fighting.
The zone outside of this was littered with corpses and blood of various races, with no survivors to be seen in the surrounding.
Well as you might have guessed this our typical hero versus demon battle, but there is a small twist in it.
"Bang"
"Well seems like I won Arthur." Said Ez as he laid on his blood while Arthur leaned beside crumbled pieces of walls and floors.
"What did you ... gain from all this... Ez?" asked the Arthur while slowly losing his breath.
"You instigated a war against the United Races alliance EZ, including your own race for what reason?"
"Well..." sound of trying to breath "I just felt like it, I wanted to..." gasping for breath "...enjoy a fight, against the whole world."
"WHERE DID THAT GET YOU?" Shouted Arthur "You eradicated the majority of your race, and destroyed everything we BUILT TOGETHER!!!"
"It got me where I wanted it to be, besides you won't remember any of this once I hit restart" Replied Ez while smirking. "RETURN" shouted Ez while earning a confused look from Arthur.
"What are you sayi...." everything turned dark as what Arthur was saying was cut off.

----------------------------
A figure could be seen rising from the bed.
'Yawn' "Well that game was fun." said a voice from the mist.
"Now I just need to add a few more content to the storyline to make it more exciting." Said the person in dark, his feature not exactly visible
Well as you guys expected the scenario of hero versus the demon lord was just a game designed by the said figure you are now seeing. This game is not the typical game humans could ever design, its much more sophisticated than that.
When people first see this person's room, the first thing people think about him is a shut-in.
*Knock, knock* "come in said the person in dark"
The door slowly opened causing light to enter, while a silhouette of women could be seen. Her golden hair in combination with her beautiful face can make any person who seen her become the happiest man in this world
"Lord wants to see you now!" demanded the heavenly beauty with a sweet melodious voice.
"Please extend my appointment time, I am sure there are many more people waiting to see him, Juliet" replied the voice of Ez.
"Can not do that. He has set apart all his appointment and delayed his holiday by 10 minutes just for you today so that you can finally stop using that excuse to not meet him" replied Juliet smirking at Ez, who started to visibly sweat.
"Damn, no more tricks left in my pockets. I guess its finally time to meet him again" Ez said as he rose from the floor and walked towards the door entering into the light. He had curly black hair, with dark brown eyes. "Let's go, Juliet"
*snap* A sound of snap was heard and both of them disappeared from there.
*snap* the sound was heard again as two people appeared
They appeared again in an empty white room, with a person standing there, who looked similar to Ez, in fact, no scrap that he looks exactly like Ez only more mature and tall, with a modern white suit, in combo with a black tie.
As soon as Ez appeared he noticed another tall and mature him standing there. Earning a frown on Ez.
"Why are you using my appearance, can you not look more like yourself, with a white beard, and white robe in dazzling white?"
"Why the heck should I always wear and look like what those guys draw me as in painting? I want to be modern too. Screw those artist drawing me with wrinkles and white robes, why not draw me as a young man in casual shirt and jeans?" asked the person in an annoyed voice
"Probably because any person who sees that will be more inclined to not acknowledge you as God" responded Ez
Yes, what you see here is a conversation between God and Ez.
"Well whatever, now onto your matter. Are you finally ready to make your choices?" inquired God in a calm voice.

"Do I have to? Will you grant the wish of every ignorant person?"
"Yes you have to, and no I won't just grant the wish of every ignorant person, only grant it when an ignorant, persistently annoy me for 20 years, of your 60 years life, asking for the same thing. I mean what was your request? Ah yes 'please God when I die even if I say I don't want to please transmigrate me to a different world.' I have to say you are the one who dug your own grave here"
"Damn, I know that but it was the hormones of a teenager that was reading and watching nothing but novels and anime, at that time, which grew with me till the age of 35. I was nothing but an ignorant fool, please ignore it and let me live in a corner of heaven for eternity."
"You know your stupid pleading for 20 years was soo annoying and now that I have to listen to you pleading now as well. Fine instead of constantly transmigrating to different worlds I will give you a lenient option, just go to one world and when you die you can come back."
Ez spends some time thinking "Sigh, no choice then fine. Deal accepted. "
"Now what world would you like to go to?"
"I don't care just send me anywhere" sulkily replied Ez
"In that case why don't you go to this certain world I left in the care of some deities long ago. I haven't checked on that place for a long time, you can enjoy yourself and can give me a report of what's happening there as well when you come back."
"Yeah fine."
Suddenly Ez's head perked up "Wait, deities, what do you mean deities? I thought you looked after all the worlds yourself, with you omniscience?"
Suddenly God excitedly replied "Well I thought why don't I leave one world to fend for itself and see what happens. But I couldn't bring myself to leave all those poor beings without a guardian to look after them. So I created the world a few billion years ago, started the evolution process and created a few deities to look after and protect the world and its people while I am not looking."
"How many deities?" asked Ez with growing curiosity, since this is the first time he ever heard a world left alone by God to fend for itself. If it could survive this long without his care that itself means the deities must either be quite strong or there are quite stable resources in the world for the world to prosper for this long.
"Spoilers" Cheekily smiled God
"Where is the fun if I told you everything? Now I have to get going as I have a holiday to enjoy, so Juliet here will take care of the rest." Smiled God before he vanished.
"Darn it, he was using bilocation to talk to me! I thought you said he delayed his holiday by 10 minutes to talk to me?" Ez turned towards Juliet and asked her
"He delayed the holiday he was in by 10 minutes to split himself and send part of him here to talk to you. While the one half of him enjoyed the holiday the other half was working. A holiday is the only holiday when all part of you is resting and enjoying, not just one half. Now enough of your babbling tell me you want anything before you get kicked out?"
"You know for an angel you are the most ruthless angel any mortal could ever see?" Mocked Ez
"Please don't waste my time Ez, I don't have to waste my time arguing with you. I have to make sure to go after the Lord to make sure he enjoys his long-awaited holiday." Replied the angel with growing anger visible in her voice.
"Fine, what are the conditions of getting some powers?"
"Any power of your choice will be the nullification of the contract to have a guardian angel."
"Darn it" scowled Ez. Suddenly a thought passed through Ez.
"What happens if I were to transmigrate into a body of someone would I not get that person guardian angel and a power?"
"If you were to transmigrate into a body without any power you will have 2 guardian angels. 1 for you and the 1 for the original body, however choosing any form of power will nullify your contract with all forms of a guardian angel, so no guardian angel anyway. However, if you were to transmigrate you will forsake 2 guardian angels, so it's reasonable to have an equal power worth 2 guardian angels, therefore I can provide you with 1 power and some addons for it."
"Alright, I will have that". Suddenly a black sphere appeared in front of Juliet, Ez grabbed hold of it and spend some time visualising his power and its modifications. A few moments passed as the sphere slowly turned grey before it floated towards Juliet.
"Ok, finally you are done you can go, as per the deal nullification of 2 guardian angels. Now of you go I have to spend some time enjoyin... *cough cough* working during the holidays" Replied the stony-faced angel who finally smiled.
"You bit*h, you are planning to leech off on His holiday while calling it work? Scr*w y..." Shouted Ez, but suddenly his voice got cut off as he disappeared out of Heaven.
"What an ungrateful Soul? I wasted 20 minutes of my working time and he calls me a leecher. Meh sucks to be him, having to get kicked out of heaven and having to work hard as a mortal" Juliet spend some time laughing at the fate Ez, before taking a sunglass, and a suitcase out of nowhere and disappearing.

Paladin
When the first derelict alien spacecraft fell to Earth, humanity took what was found in it and propelled themselves to new heights. In their new Golden Age, humanity developed technology that they had only dreamed about. The following years saw hundreds more ships crash into the planet, spurring even greater technological leaps. An unassuming spacecraft, one of the dozens that fell yearly, descended on Siberia in 2021. The world took no particular notice of it. However, this one contained something beyond the miraculous technology that had made humans so prosperous. Three years later, in a top-secret underground facility in eastern Colorado, the automated construction of an army of Paladin Mobile Infantry Suits was underway. With this new, state-of-the-art weaponry, the military would turn the tide against the alien incursion that was consuming the planet. Humanity fell before that could happen. Sam was an engineer responsible for overseeing the facility. Now alone, he lives in utter boredom and near insanity, his only company the base’s pseudo AI and an army of empty Paladins. With the world gone to hell around him, and the things that caused it still living above, he decides that he is much better off staying exactly where he is. Unfortunately for him, that is no longer an option. This is the first novel I've written. The first fifteen or so chapters are going to be a little slower. I want there to be time to get to know the characters before they start blowing stuff up. Also, though the MC will be strong relative to the world, he won't be OP, and won't win every fight. Not every fight will be physical either. Currently, I'm aiming for something like 5 fairly short chapters a week, after the introduction part is done, but we'll see how that goes. Thanks for reading, and please let me know if I've made mistakes!
