-----POV Bram in the spirit real----
The spirit realm, a place filled with profound mysteries. The Spirit realm is separated into three realms, Caelum a place for people that have no sin and have done good deeds. Infernum a place for people, who sin. Last and not least Interium a place neither heaven or hell.
A place in between Caclum and Infernum, only people that are neither good or bad and cant be judged come to this place. Thus they are cleansed in the river of Oblitus a river that has the power to make you forget, who you are. An irreversible change, that even the god cant doing anything about. This river is used for souls that wish to be reborn again in the mortal realm.
No god rules these lands only primordial beings that were born with the world can do such a thing. If a god were to come here, he would be obliterated. Turned into nothingness by a primordial being called chaos. A being that has no definite shape, a being that constantly changes never being in one form for too long. If someone were to look into his eyes they would see explosions happening within them, and galaxies forming. Thus no being is stupid enough to cause problems in such a place, EVEN GODS DIE!
However deep within the forest located in Caclum a soul was traversing through the forest. As it was walking it would often see other souls happy and cheerful. As the soul watched them it felt disdain, it didnt want any of this SHIT! IT WANTS REVENGE!
It wants to drive humanity into the brink of extinction, even though Bram is human. He simply doesnt care anymore. It decided to never live as a human again, a life filled with greed, lust and betrayal. WHO WANTS THAT!
Before those fucking nobles and that fucking king of Bellum came to his life, he lived a simple life. He didnt want to interact with anyone, because of their desires were all selfish. They wanted power, money, women and if someone had something they didn't they would crave for it and feel jealous!
They would even kill to get what they want! Such beings dont deserve anything! They just keep on taking without giving like the void. Thus as such, he developed a new mentality to keep himself from giving up, that is to never trust humans again! Never love humans either, he doesnt want to deal with a race that has no clear goal just desire for more than they can handle or even deserve.

Although all of this is exaggerated hatred, yet he lost all logic after what he has gone through! Thus he became narrow minded in this particular subject. Anyhow as he was walking he saw a striking couple that reminded him of his family! They acted the same, yet looked different. However at that moment his mind went blank, as if he experienced a black out! Nevertheless with his mentality now as it is, it created a defense mechanism to help protect his mind from too much shock. After such an experience, it seems as if he adapted.
So... he did the only thing logical, his brain has registered humans as dangerous life forms and thus the slughter began .
After a bunch of days he has slaughtered thousands of souls. . As Bram was in his terminator mode and his mind was blank, he didnt notice that, he was absorbing souls. Even if he did, what could he do to explain such a phenomenon. It was too bizarre! The souls that were being collected got absorbed into his soul! Such a thing changed his soul it mutated and started becoming closer to the soul of a god! However that wouldn't show, it will depend on himself trying to unravel his mysterious soul.
All of this phenomenan started ever since he was broken down in the mortal realm and beaten up by the noble called steeve! As Steeve was beating up Bram he hit bunch of the experimental immortal potions and a bunch of regeneration potions. As he was getting beaten up in his blank state, the bottles were crushed and mixed in with his body and even ripped his soul apart. This happened, because of the immortal potion. It ripped his soul, while the regeneration potion was repairing it. Thus a struggle happened thats one of the reasons. He took a longer amount of time to wake up from his broken daze the amount of pain he experienced exceeded the threshold of any living organism.
Thus when he woke up the scream was filled with all the pain he experienced with the misery, anger and endless amount of dread! His scream was the final stage of the process and he died. However the soul kept intact and mutated!
When he finally woke up from his frenzy, he found himself in a dark cave. With no light, yet there was a substantial amount of wind.
Bram: seems like there is a current....meaning there is something that way, might as well check it out.

He started walking until he reached a pond inside the cave, there was light from the crystals that were neon blue. The view was beautiful, it took him a few minutes to stare in awe. Afterwards he walked up to the pond to wash up and drink some of the water.
As he started drinking the water, he noticed something red was flowing inside the water....
Bram: huh....whats this? It reminds me of the color of...Blood!
Bram finally stared at his reflection in the pond and all he could see was a man colored dark red. He was frightened for a second, nevertheless he calmed down.
After what has happened to him this was nothing, so he started trying to recall what happened to him ....It finally hit him, he recalled everything. The endless slaughter of souls, it all hit him in flashbacks. It took him hours trying to comprehend the information.
Bram:.....Well fuck! I didnt expect that, hm well they deserved it in a way. HAHAHAHA....Damn it! It doesnt sound right. I need to find myself a different method of laughing especially after turning rogue. ....lets think about that later.
After thinking for a while, he decided he would take this place as his base. Also he needs information on this place...
Bram: Hmm.. might as well try something new....the art of torture seems pleasing! Ill try that out, while trying to get some information from the soul being tortured.
Bram smiles with an evil grin.
Bram has finally gone insane, he doesnt care anymore
Bram: i need to find myself a goal, like a real goal, something to strive after! Ill kill those bastards and make humanity suffer and then continue on. The goal i choose.... hm world domination has a nice ring to it!
So he left the cave, due to him being hungry. Also might as well do some reconnaissance.
As Bram was walking he heard some noises of battle, he started walking towards the noise to investigate. As he got close he saw an unbelievable sight a snake that was as huge as a 3 story high building looking up at the sky, not even noticing Bram looking at it. The snake’s color was dark neon purple with stripes of gold, however that wasn't the most shocking thing, it had WINGS! It even had magic, something only fairy tales had. It controlled something that looked like dark mist and also purplish lightning!
The Gigantic serpent was fighting something looked akin to a phenix, however it had stars within its eyes as if it could see everything and have seen everything. The color of the bird was golden as the sun with blazing flames dancing around its body. It let out a loud battle cry and charged the serpent with no restraint.
As both creatures were battling, it felt like this was a battle between godlike beasts. Both creatures never stopped and continued firing magic and clashing into each other as if it was a normal thing! As both continued fighting Bram was getting intoxicated with their battle powers and he would watch with eyes filled with yearning for such power, if he had it. He could make humanity pay and have his revenge!
The two creatures seemed to have injured each other to the point of no return and as such they were going to make their final stand fighting until both perish!
Both the serpent and the phenix started to accumulating all their power into their last attack it seemed like they were both balls of energy increasing in size until finally both took off like missiles heading into each other!
BOOOOOM
A huge explosion rang out as Bram was sent flying kilometers away! The two mountains that were on the side vanished, nothing was left only ash and dust!
Bram finally awoke from his daze and started walking to the battle site. Wanting to see what happened!
Bram: what power.....extremely terrifying it even seems godlike...??
Bram felt confused as he felt his soul was calling for him to go there, as he walked he finally reached and he saw the two beasts dead.
As he was about to reach the serpent he felt something ancient descending he looked up and saw the most majestic yet terrifying flying lizard!!! It eyes were like Diamonds clear, yet piercing. He felt like he should kowtow to the creature, nevertheless he didnt. What kind of person would kowtow to a lizard, if he wants to dominate the world!
The Lizard seemed like it was smiling, as if it read his thoughts......
Bram: is it just me or is it smiling at me.......
