Is It Wrong To Cheat In A Dungeon [On Hold]

Hello everyone!

I just want to mention this is an AU Multiverse.

Raven Eveningshade smiled to himself as he stared up at the sky as people surrounded him. The sound of sirens in the distance. The smell of smoke. The sound of someone crying... oh, it was his niece, Amelia.

Why was she crying? Because her uncle, himself, had 6 gun shots wounds to his chest. He was dying. There was no doubt about that.

Why was he smiling though? He was dying after all. It was simple. Because his niece would live. She was fine. She would be mentally scarred for life. She would most likely have a small scar on the side of her head where one of those bastards cut her with a knife.

Focus!

She would live. An that's all he cared about. If it was his life for hers, then so be it. So with his remaining strength he moved his hand up and rubbed her head.

"Smile brat. Tell everyone I'm sorry." An with a smile, Raven Eveningshade died, his hand held by his niece who would forever morn him and blame herself for this event for a long time.

When he opened his eyes again, Raven Eveningshade found himself feeling no pain. He reached down to his chest and found no bullet wounds. He felt no pain.

'Did I enter a coma and only woke up after I've healed? No. The injuries I had wouldn't allow me live longer. I died.' Raven thought for a moment as he looked around.

He was on a bed inside a room. The bed really was just perfect. Not too soft, but not too hard either. Perfectly balanced.

However as he took it into greater detail, he noticed the picture frames on the wall. As he went to get up from under the blankets, he noticed he was only in his underwear. He shrugged.

He was dead. He didn't really care if he was only in his undergarments. He didn't exactly have a desire to be clothed when alone. He wasn't shy of his body, so why should he care?

Focusing now, he looked at the picture frames and saw a man with white hair smiling. He had golden eyes that shined. His arm around a woman the same age roughly. She had black haired and black eyes. She was looking away slightly, but a smile graced her lips.

However in that moment he heard the sound of a door opening and turned around to see the same woman, however as both locked eyes she went beet red in embarrassment as she snapped her fingers and pair of black pants, a black shirt and a red jacket appeared on him. His casual clothes.

"Cool. Are you Death? Thantos? Hela? Anubis? Osiris? Shinigami? Ereshigkal?" He just kept listing the names of actual gods of death he could remember.

"Not many people guess that upon first meeting me... I am Death, yes. I am the concept of death itself given form. Along with my brother Life, we rule over existence. If you would come with me, my brother and I wish to talk with you." Death said as she spun around and walked off with him following.

However as he followed her through what he believed to be a simple one bedroom home, he thought it quite homely.

In that moment though they walked out the front door and he looked at the sky, it wasn't blue or anything like that. No. It looked like it was made of large pieces of glass, each showing something different.

"Those are different realities existing in one of the infinite multiverses. Each watched over by some being appointed by my brother and I." Death said softly and he glanced up and in that moment his eyes focused onto a single view.

His funeral. All the people there. Crying for him. He felt bad they were crying for him. However he also felt so happy that they cared so much as to cry for him.

"Best not to stare for too long." She said and he nodded as they walked off and eventually arrived at an open area where a man was sitting. It was a decent sized wooden table. Food and drinks covering it.

"Sit. Come eat and drink. Let us talk after a good meal and drink." The man, Life, said with a smile and as he sat down he grabbed a slice of pizza, because its pizza and transcends everything.

However when he bit into it, he felt something about his very being change. He wasn't sure why, but he could feel it. Like the essence that made him up, suddenly changed. However as he stared at himself for a moment, nothing was different.

Deciding for the moment it wasn't harmful, he shrugged it off and continued eating. Pizza. Chicken nuggets. Fries. Steak. Chicken. Beer. Water. Wine. Food and drinks kept appeared and he just kept going.

Eventually he finally felt full snd stared embarrassed for all the food and drinks he consumed.

"You did notice right? The feel you had as you ate. The feeling of change. You would be correct if you did. That food contained energy of my sister and I. Enhancing your soul to empower it." Life said and Raven glanced at him with confusion and slight annoyance.

"Is this a process to go to hell or whatever afterlife I'm to go to?" He asked and the mostly stoic woman that was Death, burst out into laughter.

"Oh by mother. That is funny!" Life laughed as well. "No. We directly pulled you here ourselves. Normally we are content to be observers and only interfere when needed, and your case is one such situation." Life explained as he made a whiteboard appeared and had a pointer finger stick thing like a teacher.

"Now. Are you aware of the multiverse theory?" Life asked and Raven nodded.

"Yes. There's the Omniverse. Inside it contains an infinite amount of multiverses. Inside each multiverse an infinite number of universes." Raven said and Life clapped as a gold star appeared on Raven's jacket.

"Gold Star for you. However that's a bit wrong. Above the Omniverse is the Hyperverse. Containing an infinite amount of Omniverse's. Above the Hyperverse is the Alphaverse. Continuing 500 Hyperverse." Life started the explanation.

"Exactly. An where we are exist outside The Alphaverse. Our little home where we created The Alphaverse." Death said and Raven nodded confused where he came in, but figured it would be explained.

"Because we didn't want to watch over each and every single thing in existence we created beings to watch over these realities. 500 deities of immense power capable of destroying an Omniverse with a casual flick. Below them were the makers of Omniverse's. Being channeling the power of the original 500 deities to create those Omniverse's." Death said and Raven understood that. Made perfect sense.

It was like a CEO hiring branch managers for their 500 locations. An them having their supervisors. An the chain goes down.

"Exactly! Good way of putting it. An yes I'm reading your mind, sorry not sorry." Life said with a smile.

"Now, one of those 500 decided to take a nap. Nothing unusual about that. Except one of his supervisors decided to attack the sleeping deity. Even after stealing the power of many of his fellow supervisors he couldn't even match a fraction of the managers power." Life said as he showed in image of a fly attacking a human to be swatted.

"Even when asleep the managers power emanated the supervisors. However because they were asleep their attack fired off at full power destroying the supervisor. Side affect though, a chain of fate snapping. Yours." Death took over the explanation.

"Chain of fate? Is that some like connection to existence that keeps balance or something? To people existing?" Raven asked and Life nodded.

"Yes. That's exactly it, if a bit super simplified. Now here's the interesting thing. Yours broke when you were 7. On your birthday." Life said, albeit with a much softer and gentle tone and Raven growled momentarily remembering his younger years.

"Now at this point your existence should have stopped. It didn't. For over two decades you were a being who shouldn't exist, but did. Eventually we tracked down the broken chain. Intent on fixing the damage, but there was none. The chain suddenly vanished as we arrived." Life said as he showed an image of him and Death floating above Raven's dead body.

"We came to you dead. Not some supernatural death, but a normal human death. An after taking your soul here we realized your soul completes the trinity of my sister and I." Life said and Raven pondered that for a moment.

Trinity. A group of three.

Life and Death. So what would he be? What does it mean to be a trinity with life and death. Concepts reigning supreme.

"Limbo. Balance. You are a being bound in the middle. One of the three beings who broke free from your fate tied to existence. Free to do as you wish. A hand in life. A hand in death. Standing firmly between both lines separating the two." Death explained as she smiled at him.

"That is cool. What exactly does it mean for me though?" Raven asked and Life smiled happily.

"Good question! You can travel our creation all you want. Your soul is now immortal. Forever intwined to this place." Life said and Raven sighed.

He only had a single question.

"Will I be able to visit my family ever again?"

"Yes!" Both the stronger concepts said happily.

"We wouldn't dare to separate you. One rule though. Only AFTER they reached their future afterlives. The dead involved with the living never ends well." Life said and Death nodded in agreement.

"Ok. So now what?" He asked and both grinned at him.

"We power you up! The fun way. Based off your memories I know just the perfect way... REINCARNATION!" Life said cheerfully as he made spinning boards appear.

"There are four boards here as you can see. One is a world selector. The other three power selectors." Death explained with a gentle smile.

"Now let us get spinning!" Life said excited.

Raven watched as all four boards spun on their own now at ridiculous speeds.

—

At that moment, Raven found himself suddenly happy. Sure he was leaving behind his old life, but he would see them again in the future. For now he would enjoy his afterlife and have fun he was denied in his early years of his life.
