a fate that should not be possible

everyone always goes on about how hot the desert is, there's never a lack of people telling you the dangers, but ill be damned if I don't say how much they *don't* exaggerate, if anything they under-exaggerate!

my skin burns, the lack of moisture on my lips hurts, i can even feel my lips becoming a shape with corners, the shapes crunching and cracking as I push them together, i can feel my veins beat, the suns heat seaming synchronized with it, its deathly silent, aside from footsteps and the wind, which is occasional, i rub the arms together, as if to dissipate the collected heat, able to feel all of my pores, almost like i could feel the gaps of my individual skin cells itself

all of this because of a damn prophecy stone, a stone created by angels, or so my village said, of course, i doubt that thing is actually accurate, i mean, it said in our doctrine that free will was given on the 10th year, a stone that can read fate? created by beings that supposedly got rid of fate? yea no

***

hours, fucking *HOURS* of my life, wasted, for what, the hope ill reach civilization?

[maybe you wont <sealed demon]

i look at the red and black words and background Infront of me "oh, well, that'd suck if im being honest

[would you like to live a little longer? <sealed demon]

"main sin or description first, than maybe ill consider it, I don't wanna be a slave"

[<sealed god offers their main sin and description]

soon deep runic lines form, presumably a text, then quickly fix themselves for my understanding

{<sealed god's main sin: envy

description: this demon envied all it met, until it desired to eat the whole world, before it could, it was slain and sent into the depths of hell}

"a lot of shit is omitted isnt it?"

[maybe <sealed god]

"fine, not like ill live long in my current state anyways"

[you have accepted a {contract of destiny}]

[you have accuired a name: Levi (Leh-vi)]

"holy shit, giving me a name?"

[it is your fate <sealed god]

"fate?" what bull is he on about

{your contractor has given you temporary access to knowledge of deities pertaining to "Levi"}

[name (1): Levi

characteristic (4): {crowded contractee} {unusual neutrality} {living tall-tale} {-redacted-}

contracts: {contract of destiny}

description: potential to end -redacted-]

"what the... uhm oh sir contractor if you'd be so gracious to show me the details of everything"

[touch what you want to know more of <sealed god]

tapping on my characteristics first i see

{crowded contractee}

[your fate permits as many contracts as you can handle]

i have an unlimited number of contracts available to me?!? n-next

{unusual neutrality}

[beings of any karmic side find it fitting to form a contract with you, as you lean neither way]

so thats probably a add-on to my 1st characteristic

{living tall-tale}

[if an extreme start or end of an event can happen, it will]

so basically im super luck and unlucky

{-redacted-}

[help us all if you can read this na-]

...mildly disturbing, but before i can look at the contract a new line of text replaces the box of my information

[heres a little gift <sealed god]

[sealed god has gifted (2) skills...]
