Somewhere in Eilath Archipelago, a large ship is sailing through the rough seas with a storm above them. The large ship is also escorted by 3 other ship's. In one of the rooms of the big ship, King Algevan II of the Confederacy of Eilath is sitting on a chair and writing something. The Confederacy of Eilath is a minor nation on the Eilath Archipelago, it is a nation dominated by water and is mainly a maritime nation with the majority of jobs being water related. The Confederacy of Eilath has a formidable navy but a weak land army. It lost the island of Couhan, a major island in the archipelago during the War of The Broken Oath against The Empire of Zelevar. And they are also suffering from a lack of resources due to losing Couhan which contained a large portion of the nation's resources. The archipelago itself is quite isolated from the rest of the nation's. Making it hard to establish an efficient trade network further weakening their relationship with the other nation's.
King Algevan II wanted to visit The Kingdom of Gregracia in an attempt to increase the relationship between the two nations. He was starting to lose support from the chieftain's of each island of the Confederacy due to his inability to lead.
Suddenly, a sort of darkness erupted from the paper he was writing and devoured him before he could even react.
In the next second he was in a magnificent hallway with a throne to right, and a human-like figure to his left.
.....
Shit! I accidentally summoned somebody... Derek muttered to himself, he looked at the human-like figure and quickly deduced that the figure was likely a man and that he was royalty or at least a noble from his clothing.
Purple clothing... Royalty? I'm screwed... Derek thought to himself as he looked at the man and felt a shiver down his spine when the man looked back at him.
"Who are you?" The man asked cautiously, he looked curiously at his surroundings, clearly amazed at how beautiful this hallway is.
"I'm a..." said Derek but paused for a few seconds to think before continuing, "Well, you don't need to know who i am yet." He pointed to the throne and said, "I'm the ruler of this castle, it's not in this world but i willed that you would appear and you did."
I definitely didn't just accidentally do that Mr. Royalty... Derek muttered without noise, he looked confident but his back was sweating profusely.
King Algevan II was confused at why he was suddenly teleported here and was quite cautious of the figure next to him, he attempted to sense the figure's power but he got nothing. Was the figure powerless or just too strong? Probably the latter.
"I'm what you call a True God, not like those fakes... You were fated to appear here and meet me." Derek said confidently after calming down. He looked at the suspected king.
A God? A True God? What does that mean? Who are the fakes? I have way too many questions but i have to cautious, i don't know if he's lying or not... King Algevan II thought to himself, he was always cautious of an attack or assassination.
Hmm... Who is he? Is he actually a king? Wait, i wish to know who this man is and everything about him... Derek wished and immediately got a response, a really detailed response.
King Algevan II? The King of The Confederacy of Eilath, i see... I always wondered why there was a king in a Confederacy. Half pure yellow power heart? Pretty good... Derek muttered to himself after processing all the information
"You're King Algevan II, correct?" Derek asked like he already knew, King Algevan II was going to The Kingdom of Gregracia, so Derek already knew about him. But he didn't expect to summon him of all people.
What... How does he know that? Most people don't know me because Eilath is considered unimportant in today's age... King Algevan II was shocked and slightly scared after "It" said that.
Derek was trying his hardest to upkeep his image as an all powerful god but he suddenly had an idea. Why don't I just wish to be able to upkeep my image as a god? Does that work? Derek was thinking alot since the king wasn't asking anything or saying anything. Derek decided to try it.
I wish to be able to upkeep my image as a powerful god fit to be the ruler of Schelem... Derek wished but nothing significant immediately happened but Derek knew he had to try it out.
"King Algevan II, you wanted to form a good relationship with The Kingdom of Gregracia, correct?" Derek asked with a newly formed confidence that seemingly came out of nowhere.
"Yes, that is correct... What do i call you?" King Algevan II answered and then asked.
What do i call myself? I wish to know what the previous ruler was known as... The Lord of The Outer Deities? What the hell? There's no way I'll call myself that, it's just gonna attract too much attention. Umm... I wish to know what I should be known as... The Fallen God? I guess the previous owner is practically dead right now. So, it's trying to help build my background by using the previous owner as a background. Is it sentient or not? Schelem seems too smart and even helping me seem mysterious even though I'm not, did the previous owner do something? Derek was brainstorming names for himself, but he decided that The Fallen God is probably the best one.
"Ahem." He cleared his throat before continuing, "You may call me... 'The Fallen God."
The Fallen God? Was "It" a God from long ago? He still hasn't proven if he's a god or not, so i need to be cautious. Many demon's like to fool people into thinking they are angel's or even god's and then kill them when the time is right... Algevan II was quiet but inside, he too was brainstorming about who this mysterious being is.
"Well, this short meeting will end. I just wanted to introduce myself to you. So, you know who i am once the time comes." The mysterious being said in an ethereal voice, much different than before. It gestured with it's arm and Algevan II found himself back in his cabin on the Sea Dominator, the flagship of the entire Eilath navy.
He looked around, trying to find anybody. Maybe what happened before was just a distraction to keep him thinking even after returning and then the assassin creeped up on him and killed him. This happened to the previous king of Eilath.
....
Phew... Derek was relieved that the King had returned back to the real world and that he had time alone. He also felt extremely exhausted for some reason.
Hmm... This place is still very mysterious and possibly dangerous to others, not me. The previous owner was known as The Lord of The Outer Deities? What and who are the Outer Deities? How strong was the previous owner that he became their lord? I wish to know more about the previous owner... Huh? I already know all this information and the new ones are useless. Why is there no more information about the previous owner? What happened to all the information?
Did he destroy it in an attempt to hide something or someone? Or to stop people from knowing because something bad will happen if they know?
Wait, why did the previous owner need to take a deep slumber? Did he fight a powerful opponent and was severely injured or weakened? Or did the Outer Deities revolt against him? I don't see any of their statue's, did they take their statue's and replace it with somebody else?
Why did it choose me as the new ruler? Did the previous owner choose me? Why? Is it associated with fate? There's a high chance anything involved with him has been removed from Schelem's knowledge since nothing else other than the info i know was revealed. So i can't wish to know why. Schelem probably won't even give an answer even if it was in the database because the previous owner doesn't want me to know or I'm not authorized to know... Derek was questioning every little bit of information and answering with logic and the current information he has but most couldn't be answered. His mind felt exhausted and weak after all that thinking.
Uh... I wish to return back to the real world... Derek wished and it had a response almost immediately.
Everything was devoured by darkness and light slowly appeared, Derek returned back to the inn in Frank's room. He was laying in the ground like before.
He got up and tried to find a clock or anything that told him the time because he was worried that it had been hour's. He finally found one and looked at it.
6.35 P.M? It has been 5 minutes? So time moves slower in the real world when i was in Schelem... That's good to know... But i don't know the ratio since I don't what time it was in Schelem.
He stood up and began inspecting himself in the mirror that was somehow still intact, he had a black jacket with black trousers aswell as black hair, his eyes were still blue. But he looked more muscular and stronger. He took off his jacket and his white shirt to look at his torso. He had a six pack like he always did but he could swear that he wasn't this muscular. But the most eye catching part of his torso was the area near his heart. There was a tattoo of a circle made of chains and five swords piercing through the circle and the edges meeting with the other swords. Derek also felt that his power heart was much more powerful than before. But since he had just gotten it like 7 or 8 minutes ago, it was 95% impure. Although, for some reason it was 5% pure. Maybe because this black power heart is associated with Schelem? And me using Schelem was purifying it? Derek was looking at his body and thinking for at least a minute until he realized that he hadn't tested it's abilities! Once a person obtains a new power heart or reaches a certain threshold in purity then they will gain new abilities. A person will immediately gain information about it like they had memorized it before.
Invisible Manipulation Strings? It allows me to temporarily control a another person's or animal's body, it can also temporarily control dead objects? But it takes time to control them, it may be short but in a battle, it feels like an hour waiting to temporarily control the target. I can guess that with more purity, the faster it is and the ability to control permanently may also be unlocked.
Shadow Manipulation. It allows me to manipulate shadows and use them to attack opponents or absorb their attacks but there is a limit to how much it can absorb and how much i can manipulate right now? Definitely gonna increase with more purity. I can also transform into a shadow and navigate through the darkness at immense speed's temporarily. Pretty good.
Mind Clouding. It allows to temporarily cloud a person's mind with darkness and stop them thinking correctly for a few seconds, that's extremely strong. Wow, most abilities need the user to able to think correctly, this stops them from doing so and stops their movement aswell.
Shadow Body. Similar to into a shadow but my body can still be seen and it's only on singular parts of the body. It's good to use if i can't dodge an attack but unfortunately it only works on one body part, so i currently can't make my entire body turn into a shadow.
Dark Aura. Stops people from sensing me whatsoever, i may be making sounds but they can't hear it. I may be touching them but they can't feel it. But they can still see, just a bit blurry and if someone sees me while i use Dark Aura, they will instinctively close their eyes to not look at me. Extremely good for stealth.
Shadow Projectile. Similar to Shadow Manipulation but this mainly focuses on making projectiles like a spear or a cannonball. I can launch it with extreme speeds and accurately hit the target. I must know of the projectile before creating it and i can't make a fictional projectile. A chance i could make fictional projectile's if my power heart is pure enough.
I guess that's all my abilities right now. I will get way more abilities when I get more purity and my previous abilities will get stronger and the limitations will get weaker until maybe the limitations are gone.
Hehe... These abilities really focus on being ironically a mastermind in the shadows or should i say, the mastermind made of shadows... Derek thought to himself as he walked towards the window and looked outside.
