1 That's going to leave a mark
It was that time again, with excitement Lucas practically ran home in excitement. It was finally
the end of the week, and rather than spend his days inside a school counting the minutes he
could become a masterful gunslinger who could decimate swarms of his foes with barely any
effort. It was time for him to fulfill his destiny! Of course this is all an exaggeration as he needed
to wait for the bus before he even began to go home…
After waiting the painfully long half an hour drive, he finally made his way home and ran over to
his computer, excited to find out what xur is selling and to finally get his necrotic grips. Suddenly
as soon as he booted up destiny a comically large knife fell out of the sky and impaled our
unlucky MC. Hislast thought was "who just drops a knife on someone".
Elsewhere in the realm of the gods: Death was bored, of course he was busy reaping souls, but
his main body sat around all day sharpening his large stash of decorative weapons. Suddenly
he came to a startling idea, when was the last time he used a weapon besides his signature
scythe. Why it must have been centuries, ever since his apotheosis he stopped training. Thus
with renewed vigor he picked up one of his smaller training knives and threw it as hard as he
could. Off it soured into the night sky, it hit the moon before bouncing off towards earth.
Lucas opened his eyes to a room filled with shapes and colors that seemed beyond his
comprehension, make no mistake they were very beautiful, but if asked to describe them all he
could say be exactly that, Beautiful. While Lucas was being distracted by impossible geometry,
Death was wildly searching his Idun™, an apple tablet with a golden apple on the back that was
adorned with heavy metal band stickers. Once Lucas stopped looking around he finally noticed
Death's wild scrolling and asked "who are you" once he realized that he�� was noticed death
boomed out "BEHOLD FOR I AM DEATH, GUIDER OF THE FALLEN AND REAPER OF SOULS". To
which responded as any sane man would: "WHO THE HELL JUST DROPS A KNIFE ON
SOMEONE". "What" death quietly whispered, before once again wildly scrolling through his fancy
Ipad. "Don't ignore me"Lucas shouted in vain. After various shouts and yells Death finally puts
his Idun down, his skeletal face somehow becoming more pale. "We may have a slight problem
on our hands.", he slowly says to the thoroughly enraged Lucas. Once lucas heard this he
calmed down and asked for clarification. " You see a god's power runs on a system of karma,if
you are an evil god that disrupts order then the more negative karma you gain the stronger you
become. On the other hand if you are a good god the more positive your karma the stronger you
are." Lucas responds " What does your power have to do with this" to which Death responds ��
"everything"
Upon hearing the cryptic answer Lucas calls out "cut the bullshit and just tell me why I should
care, you already killed me, what more can I lose". Upon hearing this Death's pale face starts
forming a grin, despite his lack of lips, "on the contrary you have everything to gain." he pauses
for a moment, "If you were not killed by me you would eventually discover a new element while
exploring that would revolutionise medicine and skyrocket humanity into the space age." "Like I
said cut the bullshit, are you just here to gloat about all that you have robbed from me!". "As I
was saying, it will now be another 100 years before the element is discovered, and thousands
will die because of it. Now this becomes my problem as those deaths will be on my hands". " so
what you are the god of death, killing people is your job get to the FUCKING POINT!" Lucas
exploded. Death's patience was starting to reach an end , but he still explained "I only reap those
who fate destines to kill, so now rather than handle the consequence of killing one person I
must repay the death of thousands". As we are starting to expect Lucas interrupted once again
"So what, I am still dead, just resurrect me and everything can be fixed." Death started to explain
further "That would fall under the domain of life, however I can reincarnate you into other
worlds" ��Lucas, who was matching death's grin excitedly asked " Do I get wishes''. To which
Death responds "As long as you continue to do good deeds and gain me positive Karma
anything is game".
Lucas paused for a minute before laughing evilly and asking, " For my first wish, I want to be
reincarnated in the destiny universe with complete control over both the light and the dark!" to
which death sheepishly answered " That would make you a god far more powerful than I,
unfortunately I cannot grant it besides reincarnating inside the destiny universe." Lucas after
scowling for a moment responds " in that case give me a ghost and a splinter of darkness" "
that I can manage" death slowly responds before continuing " I will gift you a Splinter of balance
that contains the powers of both without either's influence" Excitedly lucas starts to list off his
various wishes and wants, " Next can I have the ability to shapeshift into anything, Basic golden
age info, and advanced hacking skills!" Death upon hearing all this thinks for a moment and
responds "I can give you a system that awards you with more forms the stronger you become, I
can give you a college level education from the golden age on various technology, and I will
fortify your intelligence and willpower" While Lucas is celebrating over living the life of his
dreams, death is starting to send him away, " And with that I say goodbye to you sir, may your
gains be plentiful and your karma doubly so"
