nowhere (Rai)

"so, what now?"

"I don't know, I'm going to touch one."

"Hell no! you don't know what could happen!"

we have been stuck in a dark space with millions upon millions of silvery pearl things, my guess is that these are different universes, Shiro says that they are insta-death orbs.

"fuck it, I'm poking one."

"NO! DON'T"

*poke*

*mystic portal sounds*

"see its fin- HOLY SHIT WHERES THE GROUND?!?!"

after poking a random pearl thing, now confirmed to be the multiverse, we were transported about a thousand feet above the ground, below us, lies a fucking HUGE castle, with tons of snow as far as the eye could see. then I got a message

storyline discovered! you are in a Darksouls III variant where the main character doesn't exist! Good Luck!

"FUCK! Not here!"

"Why? where are we?!"

"darksouls 3, also known as the hardest game of 2016!"

"SHIT!"

five minutes earlier, near Irithyll of the Boreal Valley (new POV)

*crash*

"FUCK! why is there so many of them!?"

"This is your fault Alex!"

"How is this my fault!? you're the one who wanted to come here to get stronger!"

"SHUT UP! you said that you where strong enough to-WHY THE FUCK IS THE UNDEAD DRAGON HERE!??!?"

"shit! we need to run faster!"

freeze frame, record scratch, (zoom on Alex) 'yep, that's me. you're probably wondering how I got into this situation. well to explain, we are going to need to go back even further'

5 hours earlier (Alex POV)

"so why exactly do we have to get stronger again?" I state, with a clear sign of annoyance in my tone

"so that we can link the fire and save the world! don't you want to be known as the great hero that saved the world from the dark times?" my best friend, Marie, shot

recently, the age of embers has dawned on the world, and it is up to a ridiculously strong person to re-kindle the world, or we will be plunged into the age of darkness, to re-kindle the fire, one has to link it with their soul. which would be very, VERY, painful, in my opinion anyways.

"Oh, you mean like the time that 30,000 other people did it? I don't see them in any legends, do you?"

"Oh shut up, you're coming with me anyway, you're strong enough to cover my back." and with that, we are off. little did I know that I was about to become a source of amusement for god.

(time skip within a flashback, making this 2 hours ago)

"guawaooa!..."

"that's another one down!" says Marie, after decapitating another archer.

"I didn't even need to come, did I?" I say as she kills another one

"nope, just wanted to show off. you've be3en neglecting your training, haven't you?" she points out while blocking an arrow.

" it just doesn't click with me anymore, training sucks."

"it does, but is a necessary thing to do. hey, what is that one doing?... eh, who cares it just died." this went on for about a few hours

(time skip, grand total, 4 minutes in the past.)

after killing a whole fuckload of enemies, Marie decides to try to trick shot one, she failed, she did not, however, fail to attract the attention of half the undead army. which brings us to now.

"just keep running, help will come eventually, the worst thi-" is all that could come out of before an arrow pierced itself through the back of her neck, skewering the whole thing, leaving her there in her own pool of blood, which attracts the horde to them as they rip her apart to feast on the flesh, bones, organs, anything they can get their hands on. flinging blood and entrails onto the young Alex, awakening something inside of him that the world has never seen since the age of ancients. the ability known as [Bardic empowerment]. the power of music manifested in various forms to suit the needs of the holder, everyone within a 50-meter radius can hear the music, buffing allies and dealing constant damage to enemies with potency depending on the song.

"...n-no. no, no no nononononono, NOOOO" eyes lighting up a furious gold, with vengeance for the loss of his friend, Alex awakens his dormant powers, sending all of it for the need to kill his enemy, he creates the equivalent of a nuclear bomb exploding.

he jumps head first into the horde of at least a hundred thousand zombies and skeletons, and immediately, at least a few thousand are dead due to the awakening of the embodiment of music. left, right, center, behind, above, nowhere is safe from the grief of a friend. running forward, Alex hacks and slashes with surgical accuracy, killing another 10,000 undead out of about 200,000. dashing down to the right, he spins, killing another few thousand in the process. dashing all around is one man versus the entirety of the army of the dead, killing hundreds with every swing of his longsword, if anyone were to see this they would have thought that Gwyn, the first king, was revived and fighting. 30 seconds and more than a quarter of the army was slain by this one man. finally slowing down slightly, Alex notices the music that is playing in the background, he feels it heal him where he is hurt, strengthening him.

Back with Rai

"SHIT!"

"Even though we are OP as fuck, I am not going to let you go through this hell!" 'is it possible to create my own universe?! I need the answer fast!'

yes, it is. opening rift...100%

complete

a red and black eye shaped rip appeared in the space in front of us, falling with us, I chuck Shiro inside and will it to close, it does. (the rift is a rick and Morty lookalike, minus the bubbles, green, rough look, it's more sharpened on the top and bottom as well.)

"so... when you were upgraded to Alpha, you gained Sentients? wait yes you did it said so in the changelog."

you are correct sir. and before we speak anymore, yes your personal universe used a template of your old home, souls included, Shiro was automatically transformed into her original human form but can still use the god powers if you give her permission, question is, do you?

Y/N

I tap yes, the info dump was not needed in any way. now back to falling.

"that's a lot of bodies there!... and here comes the groun-"

*really loud crash*
