Era: Dawn of the New Gods

Concise Synopsis: This is a post-apocalyptic story about the origins of various powerful figures that appeared after the apocalypse event. During the apocalypse monsters appeared possessing powers and constitution beyond the limits of human understanding. They ravaged the world and brought down all governments. The first part of the story follows Jade, a terrorist that was ravaging the world before the monsters arrived. ________________________________________ Dramatic Synopsis: The New Gods, the most feared and revered beings on the planet. They are forces capable of absolute destruction and creation. The Council of Branches Hayley, the Living Lie (if that is her real name) Chao Feng, the Prince of Stars Lara, the Mother of Heroes The Great City of Tver Gog, the Ever Losing War The Unkillable Freak Dave, the Flow Demon Avatari, (only the name is known) Satoshi, the Gentle Hurricane As Impactful as they are no one knew their origin, they are called the New Gods so there must be Old Gods. I and my colleagues dedicated our lives to finding their origins only to find out that the beings we fear and adore were once like us, average, mortal and weak... at least most of them were. ________________________________________ *It is a sort of 'reverse RPG' as no one knows anything either skills, abilities or how the system works but they find out on their own or develop their own skills or abilities. *The story has many protagonists and point of views but it paints a beautiful story of survival in a world of endless perils for both the humans and the monsters (some monsters are protagonists). *There is a system but it is very limited (not overpowered) and it treats everyone equally, monster or human. The system is very different from regular systems; no exp, levels and system items (it has similar concepts but they are not the same). *The story is a world building story where overall, the world is the true main character.

Chapter 180: Obvious Decision

Jade thought 'Well that's a long ass race description! So much history, but I guess it's necessary to understand where this Baldr guy is coming from. I'm eliminating the Space Soul (Ouranos) race, leaving only the Asgardian (Heimdallr) and the former Asgardian now New World Titan (Baldr).

The first failing of both races is that their personal names all have an unnecessary 'r'. The hell is up with that? And they're both of Norse origins, what does this say about what the organizer thinks about me?'

[You are a person who doesn't value his life as much as a normal person should and has extremely volatile emotions. This is why you fit the Viking god races more than any other race.]

Jade thought 'What? I value my life very much!'

[Normal people who value their lives don't allow themselves to be captured when they have space technology in a society that doesn't have it.]

Jade thought '*Cough* You… might have a point there. Anyways both races are quite good. Heimdallr has one of the 3 highest senses and Baldr has the highest energy stat… which is grade one. Do you mind explaining that?'

[Cosmic energy can only be acquired by beings that have reached Grade 7 (Low) in intelligence, have Grade 8 (High) energy stat and have the Cosmic Soul Glyph. This causes their energy stat to change into the Grade 1 (Low) Energy (Cosmic) stat, signifying a new beginning after the end. Only Baldr has an Energy stat above Grade 8]

Jade thought 'Understood. Heimdallr is more of a spectator while Baldr seems like more of a fighter. Being a spectator really isn't bad, from what I see of it the essence of Space is to be a spectator instead of an active player since space is the spectator of the universe. Heimdallr is truly the best for me if I want to specialize in space without becoming space itself. The senses are also quite broken if I may add.

Baldr is a fighter and he is the most diverse option I have. I don't know what this Reality concept is, can I have an idea?'

[In simple terms; Space answers the question 'Where?' Time answers the question 'When?' Reality answers the question 'What?' Causality answers the question 'Why?']

Jade thought 'Hmm, so it's on par with space is what you're trying to say, I get you, I expected no less. What is the meaning of the two new stats, I have an idea but give me complete information'.

[Immunity: The amalgamation of a Transcendent Durability stat which you didn't have. This stat purely comes from the New World Titan race and is only available to you because you created a Tier 2 defensive armament. Immunity allows the user to transform their bodies in special ways to make them immune to damage. It depends on the way the user's durability works, in your case Baldr's inferior Immunity Codex.

The more you practice with the Immunity Codex or the longer you live in peace or war the more this stat grows.]

[Wisdom: The amalgamation of a Transcendent Intelligence stat which you do have. Due to your achievements in magic research and teaching martial arts and magic by making Armaments, making Tiered Armaments, modifying your own body and developing your own version of space magic, the Cosmic 3rd eye of the New World Titan will be modified to help you surmount those types of hurdles.

The Wisdom stat allows you to see past any hurdles and grasp the true nature of any technique, the secrets and workings of any object, living or not, and the true principles that guide the working of any magic. In short your Cosmic eye can see the true workings of any physical or energy construct.

The Wisdom stat generally allows the possessor to understand or grasp knowledge that was previously hidden to them by amplifying all parts of their Intelligence momentarily. The higher the stat the more information the person gets and the longer the person can keep up this state of heightened intelligence depending on what the person focuses on.

The Wisdom stat is heavily dependent on expertise for example you cannot see the true workings of souls because it isn't your expertise but if you get the right Soul Glyph or Mandala from studying souls and such you will be able to apply your wisdom stat to souls]

Jade thought 'Phew, that's something I can't overlook. Not only does the NWT(New World Titan) give me two Soul Glyphs it also gives me this broken ass Wisdom stat. I wish the Immunity stat was in its originals state where he could add different forms of matter and energy to make his body completely immune to them but I get that since I didn't work for it I can't complain. Still I get two Soul Glyphs that I didn't work for, it's a steal! The answer is so obvious give me Baldr'

[Your Soul will experience the events that gave Baldr his Soul Glyphs, this is why the important parts of Baldr's full history was made known to you. If you choose this race your soul might be warped or destroyed in the process.]

Jade sighed and thought 'This again! You can't just give me something for free? Do you enjoy seeing me suffer? Is it because I killed Fernandez?'

…No answer was given.

Jade sighed again and thought 'It's so obvious that I have to pick the NWT, even if it gives me the two side effects of the two clans it makes me have way more energy than any other person… Wait, what if someone else also gets this race? No more special advantage?'

[An extinct race option can only be gotten by one individual. If you choose this it will not be an option for anyone although the possibilities of someone else meeting the requirements for it or any other race provided to you are very low.]

Jade thought 'Organizer, you really want me to pick this one huh? ... If going through his experiences will make me get his Soul Glyph doesn't that mean you feel my soul is similar to his own? Is that what this requirement thing is all about?'

[Yes. Do you want to see the full requirements for getting the race options you have?]

Jade thought for a while before saying 'No, I'm already set on what I'll choose so there is no point'

'Give me the Asgardian (Heim- just kidding give me the New World Titan (Baldur) race'.

[Are you sure of your choice?]

'No doubt'

[You will now enter into hiber-]

[Multiple souls have been detected in your body. Only one soul can evolve. The second soul has refused to leave your body so you will be given the chance to contend for your body within the empty soul realm]
