《Lament of The Demiurge》Prologue
Advertisement
Before we begin, let's go over a little background on your past.
You were born in the small human kingdom of Logras on the island of Albeun to a pair of somewhat well-off peasant parents. You had one older brother who died when you were too young to remember and a sister who's over twelve years older than you and was married off to someone else when you were six, so you never saw much of her in your childhood either. You were a secluded child who didn't enjoy going out very often, so you spent most of your childhood indoors with your mother, who was a ditzy washer-woman who worked half the day and slept through the other half. Your father went out to work as a smith and had more free time than your mother, but you secretly despised him for his constantly exploding temper and inability to take responsibility for anything.
He would beat you quite often when you messed up and say it was for your own good, which you knew was bullshit. In a way, his awful nature as a human being was the perfect example of what not to become in life and you lived your childhood years trying to avoid becoming him.
When you were twelve, you found out that you had quite an affinity for magic and managed to earn a wizarding scholarship to a hero school in a competition. The spell you made to win it, called "Immolate", was quite useful and quickly grew in popularity, making you very popular at school by proxy. During your sixth year, you had to reach level 2 with a party of adventurers from the school in order to graduate. You joined the best party in the school and smiled in giddy joy when you finally received your stat slate for the quest after so many years of anticipation, giggling lightly like a drunkard as it carved out words into its black rock surface when you touched it:

You grinned as you wondered what kind of monster you ought to slay to get the most EXP the quickest. Goblins, maybe? Regardless, you'd be able to abandon your father's name and make one of your own by adventuring. You could get wealthy enough to buy your way into the nobility, perhaps, and get a family name of your own.
That way you'd not be weighed down by the name you were given at birth, the name of your disgusting father. You would no longer be Hale Reeves.
You'd be a hero. You'd be a god.

Emperor NPC
The Demon Emperor had taken one billion lives and conquered the realms of elves, dwarfs, and giants. When the final realm of man fell to his armies, the stage was set for their world’s finale. A spire of brilliant light pierced the sky, and as the land was torn asunder, the demon emperor met his death. It was not by the hands of a hero, or goddess’ champion, but by a system developer—a creator of the VRMMO Ark World—masquerading as a god! “It’s ironic that it would be you,” said a voice in the black void of the quantum system. “Strange, that you’ve given me this quest, and stranger that I can’t do it without you.” By the power of the thirteenth system developer, the “goddess” Amarytha, the demon emperor was reborn in a new video game where his character never came to be. In the Ark World Sandbox, humans rule as gods over nations of NPCs. Through mastery of their administration commands, they hold absolute control. Only the demon emperor, liberated by the Player System, can challenge them. A crusade begins with one step. Freedom from humanity begins here! ---------------- I'm going to be upfront here. This is not an anti-hero story. So, if you've come for anti-hero you might not enjoy it. The cover art I commissioned from my friend @cyborgraptor. You can find her on twitter, or tumblr. Absolutely awesome person, and way too humble. She's also a great dps on WoW, and her and I always fought for top of the meters. I update every day, or nearly every day. I'll be updating this quickly as I bring it to parity with my other sites. Afterwards, expect 6 or 7 chapters a week. This is my only job and I approach it professionally.
