《The Overseer》Rebirth - The seed
Advertisement
Dante slowly opened his eyes and looked at the familiar blue sky, frozen in time. He slowly got up, and glanced around his surroundings and discovered that he was back to that place, everything was same as before, mysteriously frozen in time.
" Your body is really weak, you were unconscious for about 2 hours after the projection ended." He heard the familiar voice of that old man and turned back, from where the sound came. The old man stood there as he played with his beard.
" What do you even expect from a perfectly normal 16 year old lad." Dante replied as he approached him, he added " you have got a lot of explaining to do. "
" I will answer all of your doubts. "
" First of all, what was that thing at the end? "
" I can tell you two things about it -
First, that's someone you have to find out on your own.
Second, for a clue, that's someone who is the arch rival of the emperor."
" are you serious? "
The old man nodded.
" Before we go any further into this, I would love to continue to explain why I summoned you here. "
" I would love to know that too. "
" Dante, after the emperor died it became peaceful again and everything seemed to be back to normal, but it was just the calm before the storm.
The gods went back to their safe dimensions, made up of their laws, to restore their soul, you remember that soul part and that signing part , right? "
"yeah."
" Even for gods, soul is a really important part of their body, destroying someone's soul is similar to destroying their comprehension of law.
They broke their soul into two parts, meaning that they gave away a portion of their strength.
The treaty that they signed said that they wouldn't fight each other until they had restored their strength, and will continue it after every single one of them would have restored their powers. "
"can't they just break that treaty? "
" no, they can't. It was a treaty written by laws.
Even now the treaty is in effect, though most of the gods have already recovered their strength.
Normally , every single one of them should have been able to restore their strength by now by taking some medication , but, for an interesting reason some of them are not even trying to heal themselves, rather they are just stalling the time. "

"So, you want me to investigate that? "
" Oh, no no no.
I already know why.
They have became even greedier than before, to attain more laws they have started to perform various experiments , even though I am completely fine with them attaining more laws and even killing each other , as long as they maintain the responsibilities it carries, because I want them to just maintain this world in the right order , but there is one thing I absolutely can't be okay with, and I call them taboos, and that's the reason why I called you here. Simply saying , I want you to stop them from committing taboos and make sure that everything goes on fine."
" You know what, why would I even do anything for someone who is a complete stranger ?"
After listening to his question the old man gave him a smile and said, " Very well, if you don't want to then I won't force you. But, let me inform you of something, I wont be able to sent you back to your world, as you are already dead in that world, someone murdered you, but fear not, as I won't turn you into nothingness rather I will allow you to live here with any goal but you will be on your own, meaning that I won't give you any kind of special power ,and believe me, living in this world , where corrupt gods reside, is definitely not a good choice, and if you still think that you will manage somehow, then let me show you something."
The old man raised his hand and touched Dante.
Suddenly, Dante 's eyes started rolling as various scenes started flashing in front of him , but all of them had one thing in common , they were all dark, pain and full of suffering.Dante stood there with a frozen expression and beads of sweat could be seen on his forehead and his mouth remained open in shock.
After sometime the old man removed his hand and Dante fell to his knees, he was sweating even more now. After learning of all the pain and prejudices in this world, one thing waa clear to him and that was : this world is only ruled by one thing, and one thing only, and that is - ' The Jungle Rule. '
"I will help you." Dante said with a tone which was filled with fear, suffering, and desperation , for the old man not only made him saw, but also feel those emotions.

To his affirmation the old man smiled and mysteriously all the pain and suffering disappeared and it was now replaced by a warm comforting unspokable feeling.
" You just don't have to prevent, but also punish the ones who have performed those taboos and make an example out of them, are you fine with this? "
Dante nodded.
" Marvelous! " the old man exclaimed.
" I was right about you!
You really didn't disappoint me, and I will give you a gift for that... Later.
Oh my ...
We are running out of time, so I shall brief you about the amendments I will do to your body, while this thing , which will become your companion and help you throughout your journey, will brief you about this world, how it works, types of life, legends, magic, spirits, and other various stuff on your journey to punish the evil! "
The oldman said that in a playful tone full of excitement and a little bit of childish touch added to it. After saying that, the old man bought his hands close to each other and pressed them.
A white light started coming out of his hand, he slowly separated them. Dante could see a white golden light coming out the old man's hands, which first made a light ball and then the light ,which made the ball, started liquifying with a sound ,'Zzzzzzzz,' the white golden light was now transformed into an ice white liquid which made another ball at the centre of the light ball, something like the point mass core, while this happened more and more light came out of his hand and was added to the ball, then suddenly emperor closed his hands against each other and the light ball with a liquid light core was smashed between his hands. He kept them closed and the light stopped. A strange dark circle made out of various laws with mysterious symbols, like that on the spear but more complicated, surrounded and spined around his closed hands. The symbols rose up from the circle and started floating towards the ball through his hands. Dante ,who was still on his knees, slowly got up and looked at the scene.
The old man said with a serious expression and tone , " I am going to change your body and increase you statistics , both physically and mentally, but I am not going to give you any law, instead I am going to give you a seed, but not just any seed, this one will be different; a normal seed gives you the right to comprehend a law and use it's power by inserting your own power of law in the world and by its manipulation affect the world, but, this one will allow you to change any kind of energy or matter to what you desire it to be, you can even have the power of the laws, but for this seed to work, you will have to first comprehend all the laws.
Without your consent no god or consience will be able to affect this world in any way possible ."
Suddenly a red vein popped out of the ground and penetrated into Dante 's body, and after which many more started coming out of the ground and straight away invaded his body, overwhelmed by the pain he was not even able to scream and started feeling a little bit dizzy.
A red thread started coming of the veins and it started connecting the veins, as it also started to cover Dante 's entire body starting from his feet , like a thread which makes a cocoon.
" You shall be the one who judge and guide them all ; you shall be the one who supervise them all ; you shall be the one to become… "
He released his hands and a golden white fluid with a white core at the centre quickly entered one of the veins, which led to his heart, and went into his body through it.
Dante's eyes rolled back due to the extreme pain when that thing entered his heart. The red thread has now almost covered his entire body and only his left eye was left. After being almost covered, it looked like a red cocoon. At the final moments before the red thread covered his left eye and before he goes unconscious , he saw the old man's lips to move as they called him by an unknown name.
" .... The Overseer. "

Mortis Operandi 1- New Hire
Thank you for reading, I have to start with that. The feedback and encouragement from RoyalRoad users helped me finish my book. I left the unedited version up as I worked on editing and making it a little more polished. However the time has come for me to put it on Amazon and hopefully let other people read the story. If you have Kindle unlimited you should be able to read the story there. If you just want to order an ebook version you can do that as well. I should have a paperback version coming up. https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07T46B4NM Again thank you for reading and helping me on this journey. It hasn't ended however, my second book which I'm hoping to do well enough that reading the first isn't completely necessary, is still being worked on here, https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/24562/mortis-operandi-2--terms-and-conditions . Any feedback, comments, even critism is welcome as I work on giving you the best version of my story. I'll leave the first two chapters up here, unless Amazon says otherwise. There should be enough differences to avoid issues though. THANK YOU! Thank you! thank you! __________________________________ Adventurers enter dungeons every day. Battling evil monsters, defying dangerous terrain, triumphing over devious traps... ... but none of them ever ask why? That arrow trap, who reloads it? The pitfall trap, who cleans out the bodies and sharpens the spikes? What if the grates get clogged, where will the blood and gore drain? When you are trying to study ancient lore or plan on conquering a kingdom, you don't want to worry about all that. You just want peace. Mortis Operandi is a different kind of company. One that celebrates diversity. One that celebrates value in individuals. With flexible pay and plenty of advancement opportunities, it is a company that knows its workers are it's most valuable asset. As they design, build, and install traps, rooms, obstacles, and repair they are a one stop shop. When a possible recall sets events into motion, the company must pivot in a new paradigm of full circle Dungeon service. The Goblin Eft No-toes has a solution that entwines ex-adventurer Elric into the business of death. *Note the above statements are forward looking statements. In no way do they promote or suggest that Mortis Operandi will project greater sales or revenue. Understand that investing in a company does involve some risks, and possibly much rewards.
