《Even in the afterlife, I still hate mondays ...》End of the prologue - The hands of Fate

“So, what could be so important that we require such secrecy” asked the baldy toward the caped figure of his spymaster.
“Fate has taken it’s course”
The bald figure frowned “Already ? This is much too soon, none of us are ready ! Are you sure ?”
“Yes, I have proof” said the capped figure while clapping her hand. The next instant a paper appeared in her hand, on it various complex curve could be seen, arranged in various colored diagrams. The council leader took them and started reading, rapidly stopping to complain.
“Tss, what am I supposed to understand from this ? This is nothing but gibberish to me” He said, shaking the stack of paper with his hand.
The capped lady frowned under her hood, she didn’t want to word it since she hardly believed it herself, but she was sure that no mistake had been made and, as such, she was forced to accept the result. Taking a deep breath, she then spoke in a low voice.
“A foreign entity has entered the main plane”
“Foreign ? What do you mean by that ?” Asked the bald man, unsure of what he should deduct from this information.
“Something or rather someone that does not belong to our humanoid plane has entered it. A being of incommensurable power, a being of Fate.”
Eyes bulging the baldy stuttered “You cannot mean that ~”
The spy master nodded “That is exactly what I mean”
Rubbing his eyes the bald man took a few moment to calm himself, suddently looking very tired. He then asked “Ok, what do we do now ?”
“Nothing” responded the spymaster readily “We are powerless to do anything. Fate has taken it’s course and will leave nothing in it’s wake” Turning to the bald man she continued “At this point, we can only hope that Fate decided to work in our favor.”

“I have much reason to doubt it” Said the bald man
“Then we are doomed” winced the spymaster “Simple as that”

Hello everyone, this is Author-sama speaking. Hope you liked the cleaned version of the prologue, a good fifty pages that I took time to reread a good 20 times. Normally everything should be correct and make sense, if you find anything wrong or confusing please don't hesitate to drop a comment on the chapter or in the Q&A section.
Also, english is not my mother tongue so I may be unaware of some strange phrasing or uncommon mistakes. Makes sure to report them so I can keep improving.
Now concerning the updates, I don't know when I will be able to deliver the next one. I found that I work much better with large releases where I have as much time as I want to clean up my chapters. This also give me more flexibility to work a lot for a few day then not at all for a few weeks. I think I will keep it that way for now ...
Now this is the end of this short author note (and short chapter but you guys just got 50 pages, no complaints shall be taken seriously, you have been warned.)
Tune in next time for some world building with our favorite floaty soul.
Just to destroy a few dreams / reassure a few people, don't expect a fallout like story.
This story is going places (probably your local trash bin) but not there ^^

The Stars Have Eyes
The universe was a vast, empty, dark, and uncaring place. Then life happened, and the universe was changed forever. Only a teeny-tiny bit, but definitely different. Then again, the universe changes a teeny-tiny bit every second of every day. For instance, if someone were to get off the couch and randomly drink a glass of milk? Bam! One less glass of milk in the universe. Changed forever. Well, excluding any time-travel shenanigans, but anyone who puts a big old hole in the time-space continuum just to un-drink a glass of milk should really reevaluate their priorities. Unless, of course, they were attempting to prevent some massive catastrophe vis-a-vis said glass of milk. Such a scenario is by no means impossible, as one should never underestimate the importance of calcium. Another important tip for any life forms out there is to keep things in perspective. Some look at the vastness of creation in relation to themselves and go, ‘Man, this sucks!’ These people really need to narrow their focus. Sure, they will never affect anything happening on the other end of the galaxy, but so what? That’s way the heck over there, where it doesn’t matter. Therefore, in order to maintain a healthy mindset, it is important to narrow one’s perspective to the things and people that affect them, and that they can affect in turn. But what happens if one is an unfathomable cosmic being from beyond the veil of reality? What happens when such an existence is capable of influencing entire swathes of the universe just by its presence? A creature such as Magh'rathlak the Observer? That particular entity is only about average as far as reality-warping creatures from the dawn of time go, so its influence over the fabric of reality is rather limited. And it still struggles to keep things in perspective. That, among other things, is why it decided to narrow its worldview a bit by compressing the maddening vastness of its being into a single corporeal form. Magh'rathlak had never tried such a feat, but that wasn't about to stop it. After all, how hard could being human possibly be?

My Best Friend is an Eldritch Horror
Good things come to those who wait. Damien Vale didn't, and now he's bound to an Eldritch creature from beyond the farthest reaches of the universe. It's unfathomable, utterly evil, and likes to be called Henry. To Damien, none of that mattered. He was going to learn magic, and he'd be damned if he let something as small as this set him back. When Damien started his first year at a mage college, he didn't expect it to be easy. However, when he's assigned to room with a strange girl that has magic that even Henry is wary of, Damien realizes things might not be so easy. He sets out to accomplish his life goal of becoming a powerful mage, all the while dealing with a murderous professor, an eldritch creature that's created a persona to act like a teenager, and a new roomate that's far more perceptive than he'd like. As Damien struggles to deal with the rammifications of the monster within him, a disturbing fact comes to life: Henry might not be the only eldritch creature on the mortal plane, and he's the only one that can stop them. NOTE: This story is progression fantasy with some very basic litRPG elements (such as a wristband that shows a character's stats). It is not a full on litRPG - it's a progression fantasy story with litRPG elements. The story will contain some romance, but it will not be explicit nor will it take over the story. It starts off slow, but will pick up speed quickly around chapter 26. Enjoy! My Best Friend is an Eldritch Horror was origonally started as a way to thank my patreons. I will be keeping the patreon updated 15 chapters in advance. Enjoy! Cover art by Skyedrun!
