The Power of Zero

Imagine a place where anything and everything is possible. Where all dreams, legends, stories, and fictional characters were born. This is a place with wonder and excitement, but also where nightmares, demons, and the things that haunt your thoughts and dreams lurk. This is the story of a boy reincarnated into a land of wonderous joys and hellish nightmares, learning to live and create his own path. Read along as he meets iconic characters, magical creatures and fights nightmares, demons, rogue gods, and more. Story begins: "Hello I am sure you are more than a little confused, wondering where you're at and who I am, all that and more will be answered in due time. Before the voice could continue the boy yelled out into the void, "Am I dead!?" Giving a pause before providing a response the voice stated "I will answer that question in a moment, now I would like to ask you to hold all questions till I have explained more".

Big Spender

Cipher watched as the Nightmare slowly disintegrated. Finally, I don't need to look at that thing's face anymore.....pause...God that thing was ugly, well I guess the proper phrasing would be Goddess, not God. Either way, I am happy that thing is gone. Now, I need to go find that lady, dead or not I promised I would personally take her out of here. Cipher walked down the hallway finally coming to the body that had been split apart directly in front of him about half an hour ago. This is nauseating, I can't recall at any point in either of my lives that I have seen this much blood or had such an up-close and personal experience with the internal workings of the human anatomy. {DEM ~ Cipher you do understand that you are the only living person present at moment, and you are speaking as if someone else we here with us?} Yes DEM I do, but talking to myself is helping me work through this situation. {DEM ~ understood just wanted to check}.

{DEM ~ Cipher I noticed a storage unit while you were looking through the rooms before. There is a chance that you may find lab coats there. You should be able to use a few of them to wrap the body up, making transporting it easier and more sanitary than carrying two halves with your bare hands.} Great idea could you point me in the direction. A moment later an arrow came into Cipher's view, {DEM ~ Please follow the arrows.} Cipher followed DEM's Waze-like guidance system to the storage room where he did in fact find a collection of newly purchased lab coats, how did Cipher know they were newly purchased...the lab coats were still sealed with the purchasing label attached. Grabbing six of them Cipher made his way back to the body, where he laying three coats down and tied them together to create a make-shift body sling of sorts. Then carefully picking up the woman Cipher moved her body onto the lab coat that was only centimeters away. After getting the body on the coat Cipher used the other three coats to continue wrapping the body and then headed downstairs.

Finally making it to the first-floor Cipher could see a trail of blood following him. Cipher continued making his way to the front door of the building where he noticed Tank running in his direction. [Tank ~ wholely shit man your freakin alive I was worried for a bit but thank goddess you made it out alive. {Cipher~ I knew it, in this world you say goddess} Tank ~ Hold up are you injured why is there so much blood, wait what are you holding? Cipher took a moment and paused before he responded, "Well I was making my way to the third floor when I saw a woman, I was planning on taking her out of the building, but before I could get a word out she was killed by the Nightmare inch from me. I promised to take her body outside after the battle, so once I finished up with the nightmare I collected her body and brought her down. I would wait to unwrap her until you are in a more discrete location...she was....bisected, from head to the groin".

Tank stood agape for the duration of Ciphers' description of what happened, having his eye only widen to saucer size after Cipher mentioned the women being bisected. Realizing the issue that Cipher was facing at the present moment Tank immediately grabbed a nearby stretcher and helped Cipher place the body onto it. Looking at Cipher Tank could see that the blood from the woman had drenched his clothing and if it wasn't from Tank having helped Cipher with the woman's body, he would have assumed that the blood was from Cipher given the large quantity that was all over him. [Tank ~ Cipher here take these clothing an go into that vehicle there and wash up, you walk around like that and everyone will think you are on the verge of death.] Cipher ~ Thanks, Tank I will take you up on that offer. Cipher then made his way over to the truck where he found a fully furnished shower unit which was extremely space-age, everything seemed to be automatic and from the moment he stepped in the only thing that Cipher actually had to do was undress and redress himself. After finishing up Cipher took a moment to sit down on a nearby bench.

Alright DEM, pull up SYSTEM DISPLAY, {DEM ~ Pulling up the display. Which shop would you like to view?} Cipher paused for a moment to contemplate, his answer. Let's go with the magic shop I know of two abilities I am going to drop my DC on. Cipher recalled two abilities he thought were absolutely necessary to have, especially with him being immortal. DEM purchase [Control immunity] and Demonic Power Immunity] that will be 20,000 DC is that alright? {Cipher ~ YES}.
