1 How it begins part 1 (Edited)

As I slowly woke up, I realized I was surrounded by darkness, me being me, I just casually tried to understand my situation while my brain turned back on.

As if realizing I was awake, my body was gently set down onto a plush chair, and I realized I was in a small comfortable stone room with a warm green fire going. Around me, the flames showed a bookcase on both sides of the fireplace and a plush red carpet placed before it.

Next to me was a table with two mugs of some kind of steaming liquid with a wonderful smell and another chair similar to my own on the other side. The only difference was it was occupied, took me a second to realize that.

The man was over 6 feet tall, broad-shouldered with a hawk-like face that seemed to be sculpted like a Greek Adonis. I'm 100% sure I'm straight, and yet I could say this man looked badass without any strange feelings. So I did the logical and sane thing in this situation that I'm sure many others end up in and picked up the mug to enjoy whatever this drink is, turned out to taste like hot chocolate, and it strangely filled me with comfortable energy.

"Careful son, drinking nectar too fast could cause your situation to turn bad, take it slow."

The man's voice was soft, and I could swear I heard it before.

"Thank you sir, I'm magus, Magus E. Mors."

The man chuckled at this.

"I know magus, I named you. Let's take it slow and ill explain what's going on."

"Ok, I have no idea what's going on, but this is one hell of a comfy environment, so I'll just enjoy this um nectar."

"Quite the easy-going personality you have there."

"Hey, I'm a believer in taking things as they go, traveling does that to a guy. You wouldn't believe some of the places I've woken up in.

The man let out a good-natured laugh.

"Well, we have a lot of catching up to do. You see, I don't wish to make this sound cliché, but my name is Thanatos, and I am your father magus."

I put on a serious face and looked this man straight in the eye and asked him the first thing any sane man would do.

"Can I use the for…"

"No, you can't use the force. I mean technically yeah, but no this isn't Star Wars you brat."

"Damn, you're killing a hot-blooded dream right here old man."

As we enjoyed a good laugh, I decided to try to understand my situation.

"So, I have a few ideas, but I think its best if you explain what's going on."

"Indeed, well let's start from the beginning you see the multiverse is a real thing and as the.."

"You mean anime and other fiction worlds exist!!!" I couldn't help but interrupt

"Yes, it's real now don't interrupt me again, here are some snacks so eat and shut it."

He waved his hand, and the table got covered in different snacks while his mug of nectar turned into a glass cup with liquor. I went with the flow, started eating, and shut up and well not make the guy whose name resembles the Greek primordial of death angry.

"The multiverse is real, and as the aspect of death, I have many clones. One in each world in different forms, however, some dimensions are run by individuals who grew powerful enough to set up their own cycle of reincarnation, and I get shut out.

For a god like me to visit these dimensions, I have to get these 'pillar gods' (don't know what to call them) permission to roam it. So to make a long story short, I entered that dimension, got approval, got incredibly drunk due to the night out I had with that pillar god, and woke up the next day to find out I got the woman I slept with pregnant."

In response to this I could only give him a flat stare while munching on some pretzels, he seemed to understand the look in my eyes and quickly waved his hand

"Wait wait, now you have to understand how incredibly rare this situation is. For a primordial god of death like me to have a child, I would have to be in a dimension where my powers are not affecting said dimension, which is a rare position for me to be in, and even then the chances of me knocking a woman up is literally less than .1%.

The more powerful something is, the less chance the universe itself would allow offspring to be born. In the millions of years I've been alive, this has never happened before, even my own parents have barely ever had more than one. Only aunt Gaea was a special case."

I thought about it logically for a sec, and I could accept that, hell, if I had sex for a century without any signs of kids, I would lose my inhibitions to. I still wanted to know what happened though.

"Now, this became a problem for multiple reasons. First, as my child, you would be a demi-god from a primordial, if you were another race like an elf, it would be fine, but as a human, your demi half would continuously evolve your human half until it couldn't handle it and your body would fail.

The second was that the pillar god of that world refused to hand over a living soul from his dimension. We agreed that he would give you an easy life, and when your time came, your soul could come to me.

And finally was that the world you grew on could not know about what you could do or you would end up dissected in a research lab and believe me I made my point known to that world's god.

What we ended up doing is sealing the majority of your demi half's power so you could live for at the very least two decades. The only thing you had was your constantly enhanced intellect and physical body which combined with your insatiable curiosity made you one hell of a beast."

"Hahaha, thanks for the compliment."

"No seriously, son, did you not pay attention?"

"What do you mean?" I mean yeah, I was strong but what's the problem.

"Heh.. son.. you were incredibly famous."

"Wait what?"

"Son, any martial arts competition you entered, you won, and you scored record-breaking high scores on your academics. Due to your demi half, you had an incredibly attractive aura to humans. If it wasn't for your insane affinity to shadows that erased your presence when you didn't want to be bothered, you would have been hounded by people endlessly. NO ONE could find you!"

"Oh.." that explains a lot actually….

"I swear if you become one of those Nara clan members….."

"Oh! those were my favorite Naruto characters!"

"And that explains a lot about you! Anyway, I am very proud of you son, you never became arrogant or let your abilities go to your head, you helped others when you wanted to, and you stood up for yourself and ended the lives of the trash you found along the way."

"Hehe, thanks..dad."

It felt good to get praised by my father, and I didn't feel awkward to call him dad. I never precisely felt alone with the shadows always comforting me. Thanatos smiled at me and continued.

"Back on track here, eventually the seal couldn't hold it back, so I set up that timer to let you know when your heart would completely fail. I know it might drive an average person insane, but your my first and only child. THE SON OF DEATH ITSELF! I had faith you could handle it. And I'm glad you chose a unique way to go out, honestly, humans are incredibly cliché. It's the same suicides over and over, building, overdose, wrist cutting."

"Thanks dad, let's not get into the topic of the sheep mentality of humans, we will be here for days. So, what going to happen now?"

"HA, good point. Well, before we get serious, I've watched parts of your life but just enough to make sure you were safe and so that I didn't intrude on your privacy. Let's catch up, I've always wanted to have a father-son talk."

"Yeah, that sounds fun interestingly enough."

For the next few hours, we just continued to trade stories, laugh, eat, and all around have a great time. I never knew what was going to happen when that timer hit zero, but I'm sure as hell happy I didn't waste my time in depression. I'm the mother****ing son of DEATH!"
