《Emperor's Journey》05.Asura

Vargass was still draining the blood of his prey without realising a presence of another hunter. From the darkness, a black metallic leg stepped into the hut.
The black fog was camouflaging his appearance but something shining was popping out of it. As the steps were getting closer, the alien serpent was still enjoying his meal when a bright arc came greeted the serpent.
The serpent fell with his eyes as wide as saucers without knowing how he died. As the body being split in halves, the figure picked up something from the serpent's heart. A pearl like object revealed itself as the metallic hand dug it out.
"Vargass oh Vargass."
"You're a million years too early."
"The messenger, no one shall harm him."
He spoke as he examined the pearl under the elegant moonlight. The pearl let out a bright golden light before a cobra symbol appeared on it.
"New collection. Good harvest indeed."
The sky suddenly roared as lightning appeared one after another. A strong blew the trees bend due to the strength of the blow.
The earth shook at and the city felt the quake. Landslide occured at the nearby mountain. The newly introduced energy known as Esmen was distrupted causing the generators to go out.
"So, even the heaven and the earth fear "his" revival."
"As expected from someone who had the gut to challenge God Himself."

Livius was lying face downward on a strange world and time. The place where he was standing was exactly the same crater which appeared in the film.
'Is this the crater?'
As questions were filling inside his mind, his memories started to kick in. His sight travelled through an endless cloud before he came across a tomb.
He saw a group of mercenaries firing at the spirits. Electrical current struck while the wind blew. Earth raised forming a barrier with water flowing alongside object floating on the air.

Then, an anonymous voice echo into his ear. The voice was soft yet it felt like a dark entity about to be born.
I HAVE LIVE FOR AEONS,
MY THIRST FOR KNOWLEDGE IS UNQUENCHABLE,
TRAVELLING THE WORLD IS MY DESIRE,
SLAUGHTERING THE ENEMIES ARE MY WAY,
THE WORLD IS MY DOMAIN,
MY ARMY IS UNSTOPPLE,
MY EMPIRE EXPAND THROUGHOUT THE WORLD,
MY BODY IS THE EMBODIMENT OF POWER,
THE WORLD HEED TO MY WILL,
I AM A FALLEN ONE,
I AM THE DESTROYER,
I AM THE EMPEROR,
THE GREAT ASURA IS ME.
'What's this voice?'
"Stop...Stop it...Sssssstttttooooppppp iiitttt!"
The boy grabbed his head, trying to calm down without bursting into insanity yet his worst fear finally gained dominance in his mind.
Both his upper limbs were stretched backward as his face was facing the sky. He screamed from his very lungs as massive amount of pain was felt by his body.
"AAARRRRRGGGGGHHHH!"
The uncontrobble amount of rage began assualting into the body. A blue flame light up from his body burning his very cells while black veins began their invasion in his bloodstream.

Somewhere within the vast universe, a group of four people were sitting in a round table. There was not a single human on that table.
They were using a foreign language that no Earthling could understand. Their language tongue was even harder than most language on Earth.
"It's been while since we meet like this, my siblings."
A draconian was sitting on one of the five vacant seat with the majestic aura of a powerful king. He was staring at the bird kin, an elf and vampire entities with a stoic expression.
"Aniue, is the source of the rumor authentic?"
The humanoid bird asked the draconian showing his concern. The draconian smiled at his siblings.

"Indeed, Horus."
"Yay! Yay!"
"~Daddy, is back~."
The vampire danced happily using her arms upon receiving the news. Her two fangs were slightly visible despite the lips' concealling them.
"Tsk."
"Venus. Mind your manners."
The elf showed a slightly unsatisfied for her sister's playful nature. As she slips her tea from the cup, the aura of an elegant lady could not be surpressed.
"Oh! Looks like daddy's favourite is happy."
"Right, Susan-neesan."
"Wha...what are you talking about?!"
The female elf blushed as her sister hit the bulleyes. The panicked elf caused by Venus had led Horus to join the laughing moment.
"Oh, come on sis."
"You really miss papa, aren't you?"
The eldest known as Ryuma made a sound of clearing his throat signaling his younger siblings to stop.
"Venus stop teasing your elder sister."
"But. But. Bu-"
"No but."

In a dark world, the sound of metals clashing echoed as red liquid being spilled on the ground. The red pools mixed together forming the crimson river which flowed in a fast pace while large quantity of lifeless bodies were being piled up forming mountains.
The dark red skin figure jumped onto one of the corpses before he took a bite on the raw flesh. Blood was still fresh yet the gory scene would make any weak minded person to fall unconscious simply by witnessing it.
This red skin humanoid figure is known as Asura, a race of human like creatures which act based on their instinct. Their society follows the law of the jungle where the strong preys on the weak.
Immorality and violence are their entertainment. They had been raping, pillaging and even cannibalising throughout their life. They never had any sort of moral code.
Many races had been consumed by the Asuras whenever the latter set foot on a foreign place. They will devour everything as far as eyes could see. Famine shall came as soon as this savage race arrived at any place.
There was a mysterious race which had been oppressed by the Asura sought help from a foreign king who happened to be a passer by. This race was so isolated from civilisation to the extend that none of the king's men understand what they were speaking about.

Ars Magica
Our vision comes back into focus. Our eyes, while being able to perceive the immediate surroundings, still leave us with our minds uncomprehending towards what is actually occurring. Sure, there are definitive things that we can focus on, like the fact that we're either out upon the open sea or the open ocean, there not being much of a difference with no land in sight, as well as the fact that we appear to be upon a haphazardly constructed metal boat, whose seams are barely able to keep a hold of themselves in the crashing waves. However, that does not let us understand what exactly is causing the waves in the first place. If we were to rewind time, we'd find ourselves upon a calm sea under a peaceful sky with the only difference, being a small whirlpool that would be the precursor towards this uproar around the boat. Lightning flashes in the sky, with no clouds being near, and anyone actually manning the boat has either died towards the cause of the smashing tides in the first place, or are fighting amongst the flashes of lightning, all while trying not to become devoured, demolished, and utterly decimated by the beast roiling in the whirling waves. To better understand exactly what is happening here, there is one singular event that needs to be understood, that needs to be explained, and that is the arrival of a creature named Dave. Stepping back from current events and going towards this creature's first appearance in the world, we begin to hear the sound of water slowly dripping across rocky ground. The cavern is utterly silent except for this one constant, its cause feeding channels downwards, sloping towards cracks in the rubble along the floor from broken stalagmites and stalactites. And there, lying on top of something which had fallen over recently, judging from its cracks, is a person, the creature named Dave. His form is fast asleep, either from the impact or from an intoxication, judging from the smell upon its breath. A bright light suffuses into it for a second, giving life towards the pale skin, before it slowly dies down back to the comfortable black of the cave that it's within. Before this moment in time, Dave did not exist in the physical world. At least, not in the reality that he finds himself born into. We do not know whether or not his existence is simply a cosmic joke, or something that is being played out on purpose. All that we do know, is that one moment, the body was not in the cave, and simply formed in the next. The actual earliest time that we know Dave exists, is the interpolation of the memories of J-209, which we'll begin looking into shortly to gain context towards the coming narrative that is being written and hastily trying to keep itself written. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Warning: This story has several things which might turn its readers away. The first is that this story has shifting points of perspective. Don't worry about that previous sentence too much though, as the main character will always have a first person perspective associated with them. However, any other character from which we're viewing the story from will either be in third-person, as we are not necessarily in their shoes at the moment, or in first person, given that the narrator is an actual physical presence within the story. For the most part, chapters will be self-contained with their perspectives, so there will not be an abundance of switching perspectives within the same chapter. The most that an average reader would have to worry about is the fact that perspectives can switch between chapters. The second thing is that the main character is a bit on the 'special' side of things. He's not exactly mentally there most of the time, so there will be some times that his personality or his thoughts do not actively align with his actions. The third, and final thing of importance, is the fact that past the first couple of chapters, nothing has been planned in advance. There are arcs and plots that I want to do, want to implement, or have already been set into motion from our main character's introduction to the world, but the method that I use for my story writing and generating leads towards a bit more random chance being enabled. Basically...there's a lot of dice rolling behind the scenes. To not complicate the story further than its regular LitRPG elements, the rolls will not be publicly available. However, there will be knowledge within the author's notes on whether or not there were positive or negative critical rolls that had occurred within the chapter. You have been warned. Updates: Mondays & Fridays (Schedule permitting) Typical Chapter Length: (2,000-3,000)
