Chapter 1: Capture

Long ago a boy named Deimos and his older brother Asta lived in a village named Aspara. They lived in a world of corruption, evil and gore, it was all by gods that love to destroy because of boredom.

One day Deimos saw an army of soldiers that were heading to Aspara. He told his brother “Asta I just see so many soldiers and I can't stop thinking about what they are going to do, are they going to destroy our village?” Asta was confused until he looked and saw them, Asta said “I have a bad feeling about this I think we should tell the villagers."

They told their mother Asphyra. Deimos looked so scared and asked his mother if she knew these soldiers and eventually their mother looked and said “Deimos and Asta tell all the villagers to hide. these are soldiers that have no soul, they only do work for their gods” Deimos and Asta ran and told all the villagers but the soldiers we're getting very close.

Suddenly earthquakes were starting to appear and all the villagers were scared. The villagers were grabbing their belongings but suddenly the soldiers were already here. A man tried to fight them, he charged at them, one soldier decapitated the man without any effort, people saw the blood and the man's dead body and ran as fast as they could because of fear.

The villagers ran as fast as they could but were too slow because the soldiers killed the innocent people so much blood that Deimos saw. Deimos was so traumatized that his eyes we’re completely black Asta took him and said “Deimos wake up you’re going to die if you stay there” Deimos woke up and then ran. Deimos and Asta saw so many people dying and Aspara getting destroyed.

When Deimos and Asta looked behind they saw that their mother died of being stabbed both froze Asta ran to their mother Deimos followed him and Asta said “mom stop playing you c-can’t die I thought we would have a peaceful life here wake up mom” but he never got a response Asta screamed “Nooo!!!!” he was crying and unfortunately for them the soldiers we're there and captured them.

The soldiers put them in cage both took them to a place where they can suffer until they die, after a while both we’re put behind bars. Deimos said “let us go!” But the soldiers never responded to them. Both Asta and Deimos were filled with hate and trapped in a cell.

Chapter 2: The Suffering In The Cells

Deimos and Asta were starving, they had no food and were slowly dying. The soldiers were not feeding. Deimos said “Asta, are we gonna escape and have a live peaceful life” Deimos was crying when he said that. Asta said “Deimos to be honest i don’t know if we are gonna escape” Deimos asked Asta if Asta lost hope Asta said no because he just doesn’t know the outcome.

5 days had passed and both didn’t have any food to eat. And next to their cells a man asked if they are new here Asta said “yes you have been here for a long time too?” The man said yeah and he tells them he was here for 5 years, Asta asked “how are you even still alive you should be dead right now, you don't get any food” the man said he knows and tells them he was blessed. The man could never get hungry and tells them he is from a village called Fenrath and he tells them that his name is Vorik.

Asta asked “are you someone special in your village” Vorik said that he was kind of someone special. Vorik tells Asta that he used to be a warrior that was very strong; he also tells Asta that he had a family, a wife and 2 daughters. He told them that both were slaughters and that he had their blood on his hands and was really devastated, he also told them he didn’t know what to do after that. And was just there in silence.

Vorik asked Asta if he had a family. Asta said “yeah i had a mother, life was just peaceful in my village until we got attacked by a group of soldiers” Vorik that Asta must have had a good life and asked if Deimos was the only family he now has, Asta said yes and told Vorik that he didn’t want to lose Deimos because he deeply cared about Deimos. Vorik said “Asta there are so many gods in our world” Vorik said that there are many gods that can destroy big lands and that humans are weak compared to gods. Asta asked if humans could also become gods, Vorik said “ it could be possible if a human slaughters it but that would be impossible because gods can destroy anything.

Chapter 3: Final Moments On This Cruel Earth

2 weeks have gone by and both were starving. Asta was weak and frail; he couldn't really move because of no food. It was quiet there. There were rats in the cell. Asta quietly said “Deimos I don't take I have much time on this earth….I really wanted us to live a peaceful, now look at us I think I see the heavens” Deimos was crying and telling Asta not to die, and Deimos was also starving because of hunger.

Deimos was very hungry and weak, Deimos also thought that he saw the heavens too. 2 weeks have gone by now and Asta could not even move. It was so silent there and then Asta said “I think I will die very soon when we see each other in the afterlife. Let's start over” and finally Asta took his last breath, leaving deimos all alone. It was so quiet, and then Vorik called Deimos and said ‘hey kid was that your brother because we spoke alot” Asta didn’t remember anything because he was sleeping.

Deimos asked who he was and Vorik told Deimos his name, Deimos said “oh i didn’t know Asta had friends here” it was so quiet there, Deimos told Vorik that he wanted to escape this cruel place, but he doesn't know how and where to escape, Deimos also said “im gonna destroy the god that imprisoned us” he said it with so much anger Vorik said “are you crazy! That's impossible they would kill you” but Deimos ignored him.

Asta his dead body rotting almost just bones, Rats were just eating his body. A soldier came to Deimos and gave him a paper if he wanted to sign a contract and Deimos asked what it was for but the soldier didn’t respond, but if Deimos sign the contract he would become immortal and might also lose his humanity. Deimos didn’t know if to accept.

Chapter 4: The Contract

Deimos wanted to sign the contract and escape, but at the same time, his brother’s dead body was there. Deimos could hear the god's voice. Deimos asked who he was; the god laughed and said, “My name is Orrythis, or you can just call me the god of destruction. It's nothing much, but the reason I'm giving you this is because I get really bored and I just love a challenge.”

But Deimos was still thinking. He looked at Asta, his dead brother's body, and said, “Asta, don't worry. I will avenge you and I'll make sure you didn't die for nothing.” Orrythis asked if Deimos would sign the contract. Deimos looked at Asta’s dead body one more time and signed his name on the contract.

Orrythis said, “Hmph, took you long enough.”

Suddenly, Deimos fell from the sky. He was so scared by the wind that he didn't know if he would survive. But he remembered that he had become immortal because of him signing his name on the contract, and he hit the ground.

Deimos was very injured when he hit the ground and felt a lot of pain. It was raining and there was so much blood, but Deimos was still breathing. It was raining, and Deimos finally got some fresh air, and he was healing pretty quickly. Deimos stood up and felt extremely strong and powerful.

Deimos said, “So I'm immortal and can never die, even when the universe ends… so what? As long as I get to kill Orrythis, then that's alright.”

Deimos found his village and yelled to see if someone was still around, but sadly there was no one. Deimos was devastated and broken, and he was filled with hate and cried. He said, “Don't worry, I will kill Orrythis,” and so Deimos started his journey to defeat Orrythis.

Chapter 5: Deimos, His Journey

Deimos was walking for a very long time. His feet were red and it was hurting, but he never gave up and he walked to the mountains. It was snowing, raining, and the sun was sometimes very hot, and then he saw a seller in the middle of nowhere. The seller called him, but Deimos ignored him, and the seller said, "I know where you came from, you came from the cells of Orrythis the god of destruction."

Deimos asked how he knows Orrythis, but the seller said, "Are you serious kid, are you joking... everyone knows the gods, if you make one wrong mistake they will kill you. But anyways, I saw you falling from the sky and I see that you are just fine so I assumed you came from there and signed a contract too, and by the way, my name is Skjorn."

Deimos sees the weapons the seller has, the seller told Deimos that he could give him 1 weapon for free. Deimos said, "Hey, that sword you have there is sharp and big, I want it."

The seller told Deimos that he could give it to him, but the sword was very heavy but the seller couldn’t do anything about it. He gave Deimos the sword and was generous enough to give him some coins and said, "Hey kid, this is a really corrupted world and some people can’t live peacefully... many children die and many parents also die and you look really strong so do your best to survive."

And then Deimos left and told the seller he was thankful. Deimos was walking for a very long time and he eventually stopped and let his feet heal. He stopped at the ocean, but earthquakes started to appear, birds were flying away. There was so much destruction happening.

Deimos held his sword and it was a lot heavier than he expected and a sea giant was slowly coming up. The sea giant looked at Deimos and said, "Who are you... did you come here to kill me? If it's that then you must have a death wish."

The giant held his axe up and swung it at Deimos, but Deimos was successful to dodge and didn’t get hurt and so the fight began.

Chapter 6: Deimos vs The Sea Giant

The giant swung at Deimos again. This time, Deimos blocked it with all of his strength. The giant kicked Deimos so hard, and Deimos was in a lot of pain and was slowly healing.

The giant said, "You’re so weak… I won't play around." He swung the axe at Deimos and suddenly, Deimos blocked it without any effort.

Deimos said that the giant is the only one dying today. The giant got really mad and tried to step on Deimos, but then Deimos held his foot and threw the giant into the sky.

The giant landed and was in a lot of pain and was trying to stand up, but Deimos was suddenly jumping and stabbed the giant's heart. The giant was in a lot of pain and his healing ability was barely working because of the injuries, but the giant suddenly had a grip on Deimos and threw him.

The giant stood up and Deimos was healing very quickly. The giant made earthquakes appear to try to kill Deimos, but he was unsuccessful. The giant also tried to throw a boulder, but Deimos sliced it in two without any effort. The giant threw more boulders, but Deimos also sliced them. Both were really tired.

The giant swung his axe again, but Deimos sliced it in half too, and the giant was very scared. The giant was running for his life, but Deimos jumped on the giant and stabbed the giant's head multiple times until it fell down. Deimos was on its back and stabbed the giant’s heart multiple times. There was so much blood splattering that it covered Deimos in blood.

The giant tried to grab Deimos with his hand, but Deimos sliced it and then Deimos saw a crystal. Deimos realized that destroying the crystal could kill it. He hit the crystal multiple times with his sword, and then finally, Deimos hit it for the last time and he jumped away from the giant.

The giant looked at Deimos and said, "This isn't over, you hear me, this isn't ov—" and then finally the giant disappeared and Deimos never felt guilt after that.
