Nephalem: The World Around the Multiverse

"We need to break up" the girl sitting across from me at the cafe table told me.

"Okay" I nodded to her in agreement, anyway, something more than just sex without obligations could not have arisen between us, so it would be an exaggeration to call us a previously dating couple.

Although if she offered a farewell sex, I would not hesitate to immediately agree. Marina was a hot thing, a chiseled face, elastic, toned breasts, a flat tummy and slender long legs with gorgeous hips that require someone to massage them with special care.

"And... is that all?" in some strange intonation she asked.

"Yeah" I answered calmly, sipping a hot drink, coffee.

"Asshole!" suddenly she was furious at me, from such suddenness I managed to put the mug on the table, as my left cheek burned.

Without saying anything else, she got up from the table and casually grabbed her purse, which I, by the way, gave her, loudly clicking on her heels proudly and with her nose turned up, left the establishment, shaking her pleasant lower hemispheres.

No... it was still necessary to divorce her for a farewell sex, but okay, maybe it's for the best. After paying the bill for both of them, I left the cafe after that, I would have to unwind.

***

A few days later, I finally carried out my plan, taking a carbine with me and went for a walk in the taiga. Earlier, three years ago, I often had to go hunting with my grandfather.

We have trained a lot of fur and meat with him, there were good times. But a year ago, my grandfather died of old age, and such a frequent necessity disappeared by itself, and the habit instilled by my beloved grandfather remained with me, even after his death.

Now it's only necessary to find time for such an occupation, and I'm right there. I come and rest my darling from worldly worries and problems.

My grandfather was a veteran, he went through several wars, in particular Afghanistan and Chechnya. He was also the son of a regiment in the Great Patriotic War. Despite his physique, he had always been strong and wiry, as long as he had known him, he had never complained about his health like the others at his advanced age. How often he bullied me for not finding a future bride, and I would be glad to find one, but times are not the same these days, love in the world has become a secondary matter.

But, as I said earlier, my grandfather died last year, his heart failed at the age of 86.

All my life, at least from the moment I began to realize myself, I was raised by my grandfather, my parents... no, they didn't die or something like that. They turned out to be avid careerists. Therefore, having pushed me to my grandfather, they left to build their career, now I remember with a smile how my grandfather raged at my relatives, but their characters are also not sugar, they are just as stubborn. Although I was given to my grandfather for upbringing, they always supported me financially. So I can't say that they just abandoned me.

If you think about it now, I'm even glad of this outcome of events. Since childhood, he began to teach me shooting from a variety of weapons, took me with him to meetings with army friends and girlfriends who tried to teach me army hand-to-hand combat. Grandfather's training hardened not only my body and spirit, but also brought up a strong-willed character in me.

In order not to inadvertently break me and my child's psyche, my grandfather gave me some rest from constant training, at this time I especially liked watching fantasy films, TV series and anime.

After serving a year in the army, I returned home, where my grandfather met me with bread and salt, and not only him, then all my grandfather's fighting friends pulled up and despite their age, the party was still excellent. It is always interesting to listen to their intimate conversations.

Now, walking through the taiga, I felt just great, inspired by a sense of freedom from everything that could hinder me there, in real life in the city.

Noticing a gray hare about twenty meters away, I crouched down a little and hid, waiting for easy money. Still, even though the taiga abounds with animals, but in order to at least meet them, you need to spend at least a few hours on it.

Here the hare stopped and let go of his muzzle closer to the ground, probably sniffing out something of his own, a hare, I aim and when the finger begins to squeeze the trigger, several muffled rumbles are heard, and the ground itself begins to shake, causing the shot to go into the milk, in fact, like the hare that disappeared behind the nearest bush.

"About a kilometer ... to the southwest ..." focused on the outgoing rumble that began to grow.

And like any Russian, I set out on a journey to hunt down what is to blame for my lost prey. Having reached in less than five minutes to the approximate place from where that rumble came from, I froze like an idol.

It was hard for me to believe my own eyes, what I saw was amazing and terrifying at the same time. In the forest clearing that opened up in front of me, two fantastic creatures grappled in a fierce battle.

Frozen and unblinking, I looked at the guy, quite ordinary at first glance, with the exception of long white hair that was like snow ... and a pair of white wings behind his back. A two-handed sword betrayed a medieval atmosphere or a gathering of role-players... but damn it!? Wings, as if they were a part of this guy!

And his opponent was... a demon?! The creature seemed to have come straight out of some fantasy book, long black horns that protruded straight from the head and black, straight hair that hung down to the waist. Especially the skin that was the color of porcelain stood out. And from the coccyx, as according to all bequeathed by the canon, there was a white tail that ended with a tip sharp as a scorpion's sting.

*Dink* *Dink*

The sword strike was blocked by the demon's metal bracers, which, when in contact with the sword, gave out a shower of blinding sparks.

I didn't have the strength to move and quietly slip away, it seemed that my legs had already taken root and I couldn't move from my place in any way. For the first time in all these years, I was overcome by fear! My mind just wasn't ready for such a meeting…

They moved from one side of the forest to the other at an incredible speed for an ordinary person, but the strange thing is that by some miracle I could follow their movement. From each of their steps and quick jerks, the earth almost exploded, huge lumps of earth flew in different directions.

Their strength was incredible, I don't know when, but I am already watching them with admiration, as if I returned to childhood and look at my grandfather when he showed fighting techniques, from which I was delighted with children!

One blow of the demon's tail and a web of deep cracks started on the ground, most likely the demon tried to touch the angel in this way, but he simply flew up a little, and with a wave of his sword launched an air sickle at the grinning demon, which cut off numerous trees behind the demon, although he himself was also slightly hurt.

By the number of wounds covered with the body, one could guess that their battle had been going on for a long time and quite a long time. The feathered one of the wings was bloody and several not very deep wounds could be seen on the torso, which most likely belonged to the claws of a demon.

It was incredible to watch this fight. The wounds and injuries received did not cause them any discomfort, they simply tightened right in front of my eyes with an unprecedented speed for a person, they literally regenerated.

For another half hour, I was honored to watch this incredible and fascinating spectacle, as if they did not come together in a deadly duel, but danced, danced the dance of death, in which any careless movement of yours can lead to your own death.

But, everything has a bad property of ending. Having broken the distance between themselves, the warriors stopped opposite each other and after exchanging a couple of phrases, they began to be covered with strange energy, it reminded me more of the energy from some of the anime that I watched.

One moment and they rushed forward to each other completely saturated with energy I had never seen before. And as soon as their bodies met, they generated a powerful explosion that threw off their own bodies and did not stop, but only continued to grow and approach me.

"Damn it! Still, I had to fuck Marinka one last time..." this was the last thing that flashed through my head, and then consciousness faded…

Consciousness came back to me in spurts, literally just now I was watching the battle of two mythical creatures, and now at one moment I'm standing in the middle of a bright office that was decorated with photos of a bodybuilding angel and ... various BDSM toys ... did I really go to hell?!

Forgetting about the office I got into, my mind began to draw unpleasant pictures of my future torture ... every second I was getting worse, until I heard someone's footsteps, and turning around I saw the same angel from the photos!

Exactly the same as with the photo. He was pumped up, tall and dressed in a latex suit with an open top, and two pairs of small white wings came out from behind closer to the waist…

"I'd rather have Death with a scythe" I reasoned gloomily. But even that was not the most terrible thing for me... the most terrible thing was that I recognized him. It was Hapsiel…

"Greetings, my sweet you!!" making a confused look, he said, a monster carrying peace and love, but inside I felt cold, and a lump rose in my throat "I'm asking you to forgive me!!!" completely blushing, he said loudly.

"Because of the battle of two of my followers, in which no one should have been hurt, you died!" hailstones of sweat began to flow down his muscular body, it seemed that a little more and I would vomit.

"Hello, Hapsiel" I don't know how, but I managed to cope with the inner tremor, but my voice was still trembling from the presence of the Evangelist.

"You know my name" - "nice," he drawled, and then became a little more serious. "So it simplifies everything, you should not be afraid of me, I will not harm you, you already died because of my clumsy followers, and therefore I decided to give you the general power, do you agree to take it into yourself?" and that's how to respond to such a construction of a sentence?

"I... agree." as it was said "who does not take risks does not drink champagne." - "And, will I be able to return to my world?" – I decided to ask, after all, it won't kill or force me for this... at least I really hope so.

"No, you were even lucky that I paid attention to my followers, and was able to pull out your soul, which went to the circle of rebirth, and after purification in the circle goes to other universes". Hapsiel concluded "Also, in honor of our acquaintance with you, I will give you a system of love, it will not only help you, but also help your soul to withstand and abstract under new forces".

After Hapsiel finished speaking, a bright, slightly blinding pink heart smoothly crashed into my chest, and inscriptions flowed before my eyes.

**The "Peace and Love" system welcomes the User!**

**The system's capabilities will be revealed to the user after rebirth!**

"That's all, it remains only to wait a little ..." the ruler of peace and love said affectionately.

**The system has completely contacted the user!**

"The system has integrated successfully" he said with a smile "It's time for you, my boy, do not forget the most important thing – to bring peace and love!" as soon as his words sounded, my mind turned off, and the next moment I felt my own body, which seemed to float somewhere.
