《God's Death》Chapter 2 - Staying
Advertisement
Time had frozen.
I was immune to the effects if not only from me being god's servant, but now his declaration had activated. What is this I am feeling? is it sorrow or happiness... this power! Is this what he feels all the time??? He had no right to be sad!
AHHHHHHH!!!!!!
This is too much! My head feels worse than my back after a friendly gesture from God!!!
Holding onto my head, I fall to the voids 'ground' in a fetal position... while going in circles. I feel as if I am everywhere at once... as if every universe is me... or I am every universe? this is a little confusing.
Wait a second... these pieces of shit... each universe is lowering my strength...
A realization hit me just like the information did... my former master had left many universes with no life whatsoever still up an running, now that I know this, I do what any other person would do... and begin to smash my head repeatedly on the ground... that I created for the occasion since the void seemed pretty 'empty'.
After venting for a little while, I decided that perhaps now is a good tim-
DEATH!!!
Something inside of me screams, perhaps a side effect from being everything? I jump pretty far away... but oddly enough I still see myself where I was at... light seems to be pretty fucking slow.
The leader of the humans then smashes the spot I was at... like a millisecond ago... and the void in that area shatters...
NOPE! NOPE! NOT FIGHTING THAT!
What the actual fuck!
I need to erase these humans!
I need to scrap the plan I recommended to God...
Think! THINK! THIIIINNK!
It seems I'm able to have many thought processes at once now... neat!.... and the human seems to be moving slower now... or I'm thinking faster...? This is good! I can use this to my advantage, with him slo.. Urgh

A hole has just been put through my stomach, and he has sent me flying...the cheat!... and going off of history... I'm going to die in a second, but instead of saying something stupid.... let's... try... this..
"As God, I declare that -"
I was thinking of erasing the human... but if time doesn't work on him... what good does that even do? maybe he doesn't even need to exist to kill me... hmm
I'll try doing something I know for sure is in my power
"all realms that have no sentient life, no longer exist"
That's it! with those realms gone, I'll have the power needed to beat this piece of shit.
-nothing happens-
I then blow up.
Am I dead? I do not feel dead... maybe it happened at the last second? and now my returning power lost from maintaining those universes saved me?
"Wake up, servant of God"
C'mon!!!!
I seemed to have recovered, but now I have the leader staring me down... asking why he did not get my creators power.
His name seems to be Gorgo, being a god is... So handy!.... -internally cries-
So I do what any other person would do.
"We never really talked much, I have no idea what is even going on"
He then punches me again... YAY! No hole this time... heh.
Urgh the universes are still there.
Now that I think about it, god did pull a weird staff out of nowhere to do his declaration.
it's nowhere to be seen now... I wonder if I can access that place... but how?
I continued to get punched, but honestly, I'm pretty occupied in my thoughts at the moment.
Is this guy really throwing a tantrum... boo hoo...
How much more powerful can you even get? Leave me alone shu shu

Go Away!
One of the subordinates of Gorgo begins to speak.
"I doubt he has been given god's power... I'm a bit skeptical that man is even dead... that would be pretty anti-climatic, I was sorta expecting a crazy fight."
"He's definitely dead, that attack is designed to kill gods... although he should have been able to stop us... I'm not sure why he even let us get this far? maybe it was his way of committing suicide?"
Gorgo's smile oddly pisses me off.
"No, No, No... you see if he was-"
I begin to zone them out as I tinker in my mind... I need to figure out how to get to that staff.
Is there only one staff?
Is it infinite?
I begin to form a plan.
"Excuse me, sir?"
"What is it? I hope you aren't wasting my time"
"I just remembered a talk I had with God a few billion years ago, it had escaped my memory... I beg your forgiveness, it had just been so long..."
Gorgo begins to rub his face... seemingly interested.. he's taken the bait!!!!!
"Go on... you have my attention"
With 100% confidence in my voice, and making sure to sound afraid..a hard combination... I speak.
"It is sealed in the Abyss"
Although I barely even know what the Abyss is... it sounded reasonable in my head. But he went back to throwing a tantrum...
Did this man really beat God? ... Wait he also beat me... I'm feeling worse about myself.
"I can actually retrieve it for you..."
He looks at me in disbelief, like he sees through my lies... like he's looking at my soul... oh yea... my creator's soul is probably awaiting reincarnation.... but now is not the time for such thoughts. I do not break my character!!
"How will you do so?"
"I watched him seal his power long ago, that's why he wasn't able to use his full strength against you... and well...died."
All of the human's gasps, I begin to feel like they are not the ones that developed the technology that brought them this far.
The human that had spoken before begins nodding as if their life depends on it... saying things like.
"I knew it! I knew it! you guys should of believed me! I'm amazing!"
Not exactly what they said, but close enough.
I thought she had said he was still alive? how does this relate to that at all... I should pay more attention...I guess...
"Will you come back to our hub with us? you can speak with our scientist... we can pry into any realm with time."
He holds out his hand to me.
His smile is still pissing me off, but I decide to go with it and shake his hand.
Ahh...
Revenge will be sweet!
I'll never forgive you for killing my creator...
..even if he wanted to die?
"Sure, but won't you have a hard time... leaving this realm... or getting a frozen scientist to help... since well, time is frozen?"
His smile gets even bigger...

Callum had seen things all his life. There are monsters and beasts living among people, but he learned very early not to admit such things, not if he didn’t want people to think him crazy. It turns out that the supernatural is real, but at thirty Callum has no desire to be part of that secret. Not that he has a choice when it turns out he is a mage, albeit one that hasn’t cast any spells in all his life. There are requirements, duties, and education that the powers that be insist he be subject to. To hell with that. Book Two: Renegade Mage Buy on Amazon! After escaping from the Guild of Arcane Regulation and the Bureau of Secret Enforcement, Callum has lost his greatest protection: his obscurity. Now the powers that be know who he is, and hiding is harder than ever. Nor is hiding a plan, just a reaction. Now Callum is forced to decide how he wants to approach the supernatural world, and how he’s going to keep himself secure when the apparatus of government is arrayed against him. Even if he wanted to live as a mage, that bridge has been thoroughly burned, and even if he wanted to live as a normal person, he is far too deep to close his eyes to what he’s seen. He has to make his own terms. Paranoid Mage is an urban fantasy but it goes rather sideways from the normal stuff fairly quickly.

8 176Recruit - An Infinite Labyrinth prequel
A prequel to The Infinite Labyrinth. The year is 1816. The British Empire is in full swing, under the auspices of King George III. The Infinite Labyrinth has been pouring out its product from beyond our reality and fostered a new industrial revolution. Times are changing, and the people of London are feeling the winds of the revolution while British Professionals push into the Labyrinth. The newly formed Artefact Hunting Company is looking for recruits, and they have new technology to help them. From the slums of London, they aim to recruit a new wave of Professionals. And make Zacharias and the Earl of Carnavon lots of money. So, for Rowan Rivers and a handful of lucky ones, it's time to head into the Labyrinth, and discover what makes it different from England. And what makes THEM different? Recruit is a bunch of chapters I wrote to create to the setting, mood, and game systems of the Infinite Labyrinth. It is NOT a complete story in the classic sense. It's more of a slice of life view of early days of a normal Professional from the Infinite Labyrinth, and it's heavy on info-dump. It's 90% canon - there's probably a bit of a difference between how some characters and common behaviour are portrayed here and how they'll come out in the main story. Set two years before the events that kick-start the main series, it features some of the secondary/peripheral characters of the Infinite Labyrinth and will tell you all about the basic mechanics of the Labyrinth's RPG system. It can be considered a spoiler, as the characters in the Infinite Labyrinth are going to need to figure out all that, on their own. But if you like a much deeper exposition in the mechanics, here it is. The entire prequel is about 80 pages long.
