《Superficial Story》Chapter 12 - Damios
Advertisement
(I'm better now. Not 100%, but good enough to produce something i guess :) )
It’s all about making the right goddamned question.
“Which are the people of this world which would give me the bigger amount of Soul Energy from sacrifice after being granted power by me with Good Karma Points and which power should I grant them to receive it?”
[Answer]: Damios Arshandelle and Yirsh’er Ar-marh-abdulla. Damios should be granted the power to heal people as he desires. Yirsh’er should be granted the power to kill anyone by producing a song form her throat. Both powers must be fueled by sacrifices.
Eh.
Easy.
Who are them and why is that?
[Answer]: Damios Arshandelle is the second son of the Arshandelle house of priests of Jaur. Healing the sick is one of their dogmas, but they do not have the power to do so since Jaur punished the house for corruption. Yirsh’er Ar-Marh-Abdulla is a disgraced noblewoman from the Sunnian lands and prostitute which is known as a witch with mythical powers. Allowing her to kill anyone she desires will grant many sacrifices. Both will sacrifice as much as needed in order to remain in power.
Let’s get to Damios first. Bright and might.
He.
I’m on top of his dining table.
Nice. No one is screaming.
“Damios Arshandelle!”
[Damios] - MYLORD!
He threw himself in the ground and started praying.
“Thou hath sinned against me.”
[Damios] - Forgiveness mylord! I beg of you!
“Thou hath taken what was mine.”
[Damios] - Mylord, I have sinned! Please remove the curse! Please forgive me!
Oy, is this possible? Omnyscience? And what curse is this?
[Answer]: Interference. denied. It’s only possible if Damios become your follower. His curse is a “curse of poverty”. His family shall live in poverty.

What is the cost to remove this?
[Answer]: The curse was casted with 1 bad karma point. 1 good karma point is needed for the King of Evil to remove it.
A good one compensating for a bad one.... if I was a good god, would it be the same? Could I remove the curse or change it somehow?
[Answer]: Regular good gods cannot remove the curse casted by other good gods. The Queen of Good can remove the curse. Good gods can overwrite the curse. Neutral gods can remove or overwrite the curse.
Ooooh.
So all of those punished by the idiots above are a good field of cooptation for me, eh.
Nice.
“Thou hath worshiped a false god by the name of Jaur.”
Silence.
Let the impact flow into them. Let them absorb it.
“Damios”
[Damios] - My.. mylord?
“I am Messiah, King of Gods. Thou shall worship me, and I shall remove thy curse and cover thou in blessing.”
[Damios] - …
“Damios, why thou remains in silence?”
[Damios] - … art thou a demon trying to temp me?
Shit.
A motherfucking imbecile.
Omniscience, how do I convince this stupid fool that I’m a god?
[Answer]: Damios cannot be convinced through words. Other methods are as follow.
Tsc.
The son of a bitch had real faith in Jaur, eh.
Even if he was a corrupt motherfucker.
Fine.
I have just enough Soul Energy to do this.
It better be worth it.
Now, let’s follow omniscience’s instructions aaand..
There.
I have access to this shit-head’s mind.
Now I overwrite his belief in Jaur and brainwash him.
Done.
“DO THOU DAREST TO OFFEND THY LORD?”
[Damios] - MY LORD, FORGIVE ME! I SEE NOW! I SEE THE LIGHT OF THY GRACE! I SEE THE GLORY OF THY EXISTENCE!

“Damios. I am thy lord. I am Messiah. Jaur isn’t but a smaller god thou shall not serve, for Messiah desires thou to spread his word.”
[Damios] - MY LORD! I AM NOT WORTHY! BUT SAY A SINGLE WORD AND I SHALL BE SAVED!
“Damios, go and spread my word. Go and collect alms fer me, and sacrifice all fer me. All gold and silver and precious stones and metals thou shall use in my temples. All food thou shall serve in my altar, and only after I eat thou shall eat. All drink must be offered to me, and only after I drink thou shall drink. Be the one who spreads my word, Damios, and I shall be the one to cover thou with the gift of healing the sick in my name.”
Got to show some dominance over this idiotic fool. I'm the fucking Alpha here, bitch!
[Damios] - My lord! I will!
“So I make you, Damios, Hierophant. Go and meet the Emperor. Go and meet the Empress. Go and meet the Sorcerer, the Witch and the Fool. And in the path sacrifice thou shall give me, and in the path others thou must convert to the name of the true god. To the name of Messiah.”
[Damios] - Mylord, thy blessings I am unwhorty off, but thy commands I take with my soul. All I shall give to mylord before having. All glory to thou shall belong, and all food shall be thou before I eat, and all drinks thou must drink of before I drink, and I shall find thy apostles on the world and spread thy name.
“Go now, Damios!”
Now, omniscience, how do I give him both the ability to heal people depending on how much he sacrifices for me and a sense of intuition which shows him exactly where the other important rulers I have put in this world are?
[Answer]: Several methods are available. Such they are.
He.
Let’s go with the most cost-effective. This bitch doesn’t need a lot of power anyhow.
Done.
I wonder how long will it take for me to take over the world at this rate?
[Answer]: 500 years.
Shit.
Better work faster then.

8 210The Supreme Cultivator
This story is a parody for xianxias, and some litRPG, where our protagonist, Bòhé chá, faces no problems at all in his life controlled by the evil author... Is the author actually evil? (This is not a rhetorical question, I'm actually curious.) PS : this is only written as a method of wasting time, so don't expect me to upload regularly. Edit : removed the LitRPG and replaced it with Satire since that is more accurate.
8 153God isn't dead, He's just broke
"How could you screw up the world this badly?" That's the question Billy the God finds himself asking when he looks upon his First World. Billy needs to get into World Building High, the top school when it comes to building and designing worlds of all shapes and sizes. And they're very strict with who they let in. Billy is one of the students expected to get in, but the school evaluates all the worlds a God's made during their entire life. And Billy's first world is everything that the school abhors. Billy's only hope for getting in? He has to raise a team from his world, comprising of the best of the best. To steal the system of another world and use it to replace his own, dooming the other in the process. The team he's created from his world's inhabitants? A BloodThirsty Crusader with more orphan murdering than 7th circle demons. An Orc prodigy of blood magic who faints at the first bit of gore she sees. A drunk Warlock who's responsible for the reason why most wizards are dead. A tax evader Druid who got her hand's on the 9th Edition of Karl Marx's Communist Manifesto. And a Blind Dragon Born Ranger, Druid, Sorciesta with a gun. Yep, the only way this could possibly get worse is if the world they were stealing the system from belonged to Principal Sieva, the woman who managed to murder (temporarily) another god. Oh, wait. The image is not owned by me. All credit goes to RogerCruz on DeviantArt. I'll change the image if/when I manage to make my own. I'm a terrible artist.
