Chapter 1 - Some kind of Prologue

"Out loud"

'3'rd pov thinking'

System talk

================================================================

It was already 10 days since the rain started. Even indoors dunk and cold air was chilling to the bone. Well, even in this hellhole, it was still better then out there, in the streets.

Ah, sorry, where are my manners? I welcome you to (technically) mine humble shop. My name is Isaac Shtern. As you can already guess this body is a descendant from Germany. Why body you ask? You see, I am not from this world.

I died in my previous one, spent some time in T̷̻̟̜͍͓͓͕̩̋̃͂H̷͙̏͝E̶̘͎̤̼͔̗̻̕ ̴̤̜͒̑̓̽̈́̕͟V̷̲̖͌̽̑O̴͙̠̹͚̲̰͂̇͐̇̔̂̏͋̌͜Į̴̖͕̘͔̯̰͐͛͆̌̎͟ͅD̶̡̦̪̼̋͜ ,not a pleasant experience, I must say.

Then I woke up in that body, with nothing but some cloves and an id not far from this place. Previously, it was something similar to the haunting store, and, since it was empty, ruined and abandoned, I figured I could make it my own. 

There can rise a question: where is the fun part of every reincarnation, the infamous "Golden finger"? 

DO NOT INTERRUPT ME! I was getting to it.

I have acquired some kind of system. I still didn't figure it out, because...

___________________________________________________________

Agreement was achieved with administrator of this sector.

Your presence here is now acceptable.

THE HORROR SYSTEM™ welcomes host to this new wonderful world. 

You can open your status upon saying the key word.

You will receive your new memories upon reading the manual. 

___________________________________________________________

Ok, this is new, cause all this time it was not active, only saying "initializing" in the corner of my eyesight.

Who is this administrator? The Presence? Maybe.

Only one way to find out.

With all my resolve and the most serious face I could muster, I said: "The key word..."

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHahahahahahahaaaaaaaa... I am hilarious."

What? It is lonely in a shack in the middle of the woods. I have to entertain myself somehow.

Lets get a little a little serious, shall we?

"Status."

Would you like to create an entity?

_____________________________________________

Well, that's interesting... 

How the hell do pull out this manual?

"Eject! Pull out! Inventory! Take the manual out! Artifact storage!" Strange black and white rectangle appeared before me. It was filled with weird shaped, seemingly infinite cells, every one was empty, except the first one. There was the manual.

"Good, that worked, I was running out of ideas." I reached my hand to the manual and pulled it out. I freaked out a bit. An old messy brochure appeared in my hand, seemingly out thin air. Strange, in fanfics everybody was so chill about it.

When I opened it unfolded it some dust spilled on the floor. The brochure was black with white text and some engravings on the sides. It was unsettlingly old, like I could feel the oldness of this thing. Well let's read it.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Name: name of the mask you are wearing;

2. Race: your race, can also represent your evolutionary progress

3. Horror points: your main objective, if you want to prosper in this world. Represent negative emotions others feel towards you, or your creations. With this points you can create various creatures or objects with or without extraordinaire abilities. For more information on manifestation go to point "". To collect them you or your creations must be in a close proximity to the source of this emotions. Can be converted into Dp.

4. Dread points: superior version of horror points, generated by extremely large quantity of source at the same time. Unlike Hp, Dp has no limit to quality or quantity of your creations. Example: With Dp, if you want, you can create Khorn with immaterium for it, of course it will not be cheap. This points are collected passively due to their nature.

5. Entities Storage: Inventory for your semi- or fully intelligent creations. In the storage they each have their preferable environment, you can specify it when you create an entity. Large quantities of the same species can be stored in the same slot. You can choose to include the concept of time in each cell. 

6. Artifact storage: Inventory for your not "living" creations. Duplicates can be stored in the same slot. Imagine it as small space for each artifact with or without time, if you want. 

7. Manifested Entities and Artifacts: A way for you to see all that you manifested to you word. With it you can track: what entities you brought to this world, their location, how many points they earned, what they already done, take your creations over, make them follow specific script, or just give them some orders. 

8. Creation: Completely universal and flexible tool. Here you can give some ideas of what you want to create to semi-omnipotent ai without an ego for it to find some resembling things in the omniverse, then, when you are satisfied with the result, you can customize it further, or you can create something completely from scratch. You can customize everything about your creations from their appearance and powers to their memories and backstory in their previous or this world. Of course some parameters will have a cost, the most costly ones are: the powers and backstories in this world. The more history alteration the backstory brings, more the cost. Even with your alterations, past will still try sustain itself. With this tool you can upgrade or customize further your entities and artifacts after you already created them.

9. Evolution: With Hp and Dp you can upgrade yourself, give yourself abilities, alter yourself, change your race and many more. The cost is much bigger then doing the same thing to your creations. 

10. Achievements: Upon achieving some feats you will be given according reward. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Demn, I am busted. But this system unsettles me. To achieve something significant, I will have to be an outright a terrible person, do not get me wrong, I am neither some noble hero with a golden aura of happiness around me, nor some sociopath, how want to hurt others. Guess I will have to find some middle ground. 

Ah, there is something else written at the bottom.

Upon reading this you will be given memories of your body.

All I managed to say till darkness took me was "Oh."

================================================================

Hi. Gorb here.

So, It was way harder than I expected. A lot of details are missing ( for example: complete description of the location Isaak is staying) on purpose, I wanted you all to get a little bit familiar with the chill side of my character and "THE HORROR SYSTEM"™. This details will be given in next chapters.

By the way, I forgor to add some things in an auxiliary chapter, so here they are:

There will be a lots of Povs from secondary characters or 3'rd Povs, cause I want to give secondary perspective of what chaos Isaak will bring to dc.

Can I do child cruelty? This is a genuine question, cause I have some fnaf related chapters planed and I don't know how moderators of this site will do.

As you can already guess Isaak is pretty unstable in the mental department, do not warry, it will be much worse. This is tricky for me. If you have any advices, I will gladly receive them.

 I forget something all the time so, sorry if you find some plot holes.

The update schedule is inconsistent, but I will try to write two chapters in a week. 

Good night.
