Scourge of the Fel God

Lillianna, and Guero stood to the side and watched as Axel walked into the waters. The entire world around him changed as he entered a completely dark space. In front of him sat a table filled with weapons, and other tools, as well as jewelry and many other objects.

" What am I looking at here, old man? "

" So it's a test based on what you choose, last time I picked up a sword, and a shield thinking combat would follow, which it does. "

" Okay so it's like picking your gear, got it. "

Axel walked all around the table until settling his eyes on an oversized magnificent Sword. Logically he would be unable to even lift the giant piece of metal, but it felt at home within his hands, He looked around, and felt for anything else to grab his attention. A ring crested with onyx caught his eye. Axel placed it upon his ring finger on his right hand. Nothing else caught his attention so he turned away and moved through the darkness.

" Interesting choices Kid. "

" They just felt right? I'm not sure how else to explain it. "

" Those weren't there when I went through, Maybe somebody stole what was meant to be ours. Perhaps we have taken what was meant to be somebody elses. "

" What class are we gunning for again? "

" The Slayer. A class that has an infinite growth potential as long as we keep killing, big weapons like what you chose are their specialty. In my timeline there was only one slayer named Gaia, She was a bona fide badass, and scary as hell. "

" Sounds cool, what's next? "

With his question having been asked, the world changed once again, and he was present at a wedding dressed in a nice tux, surrounded by people he didn't recognize.

" Axel come here your bride is waiting for you! "

A voice Axel didn't recognize called out to him.

" Huh? My wife? I haven't even had a real girlfriend before much less a wife "

" Oh Shit Kid. This is one of my memories, you're about to come face to face with the whole group of people who killed us in the future, and her. "

" Wait, this was our wedding?? You got married? "

Before their internal conversation could continue on any longer he was ushered over to a beautiful woman in her early twenties, and at this point he realized he had also grown, his body distinctly different.

" There you are Axel! "

A sweet voice filled with sugar called out to him.

" Grace, the once love of our lives. This was an awesome party filled with sweet memories. "

" Grace! The love of my life, how great is this! "

The clouds became dark, and Older Axel's rage began to overtake Young Axel's mind. The pain, and regret his olderself felt the moment Axel spoke her name aloud began to bring him to the brink of what he could take.

" Old man, what's going on, what are these feelings, like everything is going dark! "

Silence followed his question as the air began to tense, and the sword was in his hands. Axel watched as his body killed guest after guest until there was only grace left. Cowering, asking why, why Why WHy WHy WHY. The sword blade dug into her chest, and Axel leaned in close, whispering his goodbyes.

Axel now back in control of his body threw up everywhere, crying horrified over what he had just done. He looked around at the bodies, mocking smiles of blood strewn upon their faces, mocking him for his outrage.

" WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED "

" Revenge kid. "

" What do you mean revenge? You just killed all these people using my body! "

" It's OUR body you incompetent coward, and what these people did to us, this is half of what they deserved. "

" Quit talking down to me! You… you.. you uh. Hey, what's happening? "

The world around them swirled and changed into an ancient coliseum like the Romans had. In addition he looked down upon his sword and noticed immediate changes. The blade itself shifted from it's pristine silver sheen to a deep black, laced with red veins that looked a little too much like blood for comfort, the guard shifted from an ornate decorated guard, to a golden metal crested with onyx gems, the handle itself stretched out and took on the ivory sheen of bone. His appearance changed as well. Dark metal greaves and gauntlets protected him, the ring couldn't be felt around his finger any longer, and instead a necklace sat around his neck. An onyx gem sat in the middle surrounded with the same ivory shaped in a circle of stars. A thin golden chain held it in place around his neck.

" Whoa dude, you see all this? "

" Obviously, each action taken in these trails shapes us, and our soul to the shape that fits us best. My earlier actions impacted our soul heavily, I'm not sure what kind of class we're going to get now, kid. "

" If I get to keep all this stuff then it's worth it man. "

After their very short mental talk some new changes occured, from the floor black shade began to raise and from it a few goblins crawled out, armed with daggers, and makeshift clubs. A startling cry was released from the mouth of the head goblin as it charged at Axel.

Axel to his credit didn't freak out and instead punched out his free arm with all his might, mashing the face of the goblin against his armed fist as teeth and blood spewed forth.

A tugging sensation pulled at Axel from the arm that held the sword, and after a moment of hesitation he swung the blade in one arm with all his might towards the goblin. He failed to notice the other two goblins rushing to enter the fray, however it didn't matter as the sword cleaved threw all three goblins leaving an arc of viscera, and blood flying threw the air.

The bisected bodies fell to the ground with a thump, and an ominous red energy poured from the sword, traveling up Axel's arm settling into a shoulder guard formed on his right side. From the darkness on the ground a few much larger hands began to crawl out.

Axel, now slightly more prepared, rushed at the rising monsters. With a mighty lead he rose in the air and slammed his sword down directly upon the ugly green muscle bags head.

As the sword dug through the flesh and bones of the orc, small traces of black flame ignited on the blade, and the red energy snaked further upon Axel's body as more armor appeared on his body. Just in time as a large club crashed into his side sending him flying away from his sword buried deep in the body of the first orc.

Pain registered all across Axel's side as he took stock of what was happening. Only two orcs had crawled out, one he had defeated before it could properly react. The other was slightly armored inn leathers, and plate metal. In its dominant hand a large reinforced club was held with a bit of Axel's blood on the spiked stud.

Observing himself he noticed that the red aura from the sword was swirling, and entering the wound on his side, and the pain was lessening by the second. The orc took advantage of his downed opponent, and charged directly, club raised high ready to clobber Axel to death.

Axel reacted by rolling to the side and smashing his gauntleted fist into the fat orcs side, causing the fat to explode out in waves around the impact. The orc to its credit was hardly moved, and performed a large arched horizontal swing at Axel. The satisfying impact never landed however as Axel had already moved back in preparation for this retaliation. This moment of a breather was enough time for Axel to locate his weapon now free of the charred corpse not too far away.

Axel dashed directly for it, and stomping behind him was the orc ready to smash him to bits if he wasn't careful. Rolling to cover a greater distance Axel got his hands on the blade and with all his power he performed a charged horizontal swing around him, cleaving through the majority of the orc as the studded spike of the club cracked down on his shoulder blade.

Forced to his knees from the pain Axel gasped for breath doing all he can to work through the pain that was lessening by the second from the red aura both healing and covering the wounded area in more of the blackened armor covered with the red veins, and golden accents.

Axel took note of the fact that as the blak flame consumed the corpse more, and more red aura poured into his blade, which in turn healed his wounds and forged more of this armor on his body, a full chest plate was on his body now, in addition to his entirely armored arms, and partially armored legs. He loved the look of the armor, that was both protective, and sleek looking.

However in the midst of his self observation he noticed the darkness grow in size, and a massive hand reached out. An Immense creature pulled itself out and lunged towards Axel.

In a blind panic Axel once again swung the blade with all his might, and from the blade a beam of blood red black energy shot out and crashed into the troll, who shouted in pain, its body lighting on fire. Axel's surprise was short as the black metal formed its way up his neck and over his head creating a helmet that was covered in a pitch black hood, and a pitch black cape flowed freely from his back covered in the golden script.

The Troll to its credit did not stay idle for long, as while its chest was burning he rampaged at Axel trying to kill the annoying gnat. However as more, and more of this armor formed around his body, Axel felt stronger, and stronger. Not only that old Axel had been quite this whole time. Creating some distance from the troll Axel spoke within his head.

" Are you there, old dude? "

" Yes brat, I'm just amazed at your natural reflexes and abilities. I've never seen anything like this before. You're nowhere near the level of skill I had before I returned. "

" I'm just doing what feels natural, the sword, and the armor are doing a lot automatically without my input, but I can tell I'm much stronger here than in the game and real life. "

" Yeah it's the game system guiding you, and it looks like your class has quite a few passive abilities which is fantastic. Finish this thing off, my run through here ended at the orcs so I can only assume this is the last enemy. "

With their instant conversation over Axel once again leapt high in the air to strike down the troll. Only to be caught mid air, and repetitively smashed into the ground, as armor piece after piece fell off until he was left in a crater. The troll proud of his work roared into the sky.

" What the hell are you doing kid? "

" Getting my ass beat, what do you think? "

" STAB IT! "

And he did, while the troll was distracted Axel tore through its midsection with the blade till the guard, and placed his free hand upon its skin causing black flame to burst forth all over the troll's body.

The troll slumped directly down, and burned into a pile of Ashes as the armor formed completely over his body. The darkness in the center shrunk down until a very familiar gauntleted hand rose out of the ground and pulled itself out.

Facing Axel was his exact doppelganger armed with sword and armor.

" What the fuck man! "

Axel exclaimed as the evil Axel's form changed posture, and ran with an odd gait towards him. Evil Axel lunged high, and learning from his own mistakes Axel capitalized on the opportunity by plunging his sword directly into his doppelganger's midsection. The armor held out for a moment before bursting in the area harmed and a deep wound formed as the dopple ganger was screwed upon Axel's blade. The hemet showed no face, just darkness as Axel peered into its face holes.

Axel, believing this fight was over, moved his sword out of the evil one's body. Mistakes were made as when axel was trying to remove his blade he was jabbed in the stomach by its blade. The red aura slunk out of him and up the other blade.

His energy was used to heal the doppelganger. Axel shouted in rage and began to swing his sword all over, missing every attack. The doppelganger kept its distance and moved in close for a swing. Only for Axle to shoulder check into its body. A gauntleted hand reached around the throat of the doppelganger and black flame burst forth all over its body, which after a moment began to move towards Axel, as his hand absorbed the flames, and the body of his own doppelganger.

The world shifted around Axel as he was once again standing in the pool, an ominous black and gold glow shown all around his body as he approached the other two and gazed at the priest.

The priest dropped to his knees in reverie.

" Praise the God-King, We are joined by The Scourge of The Fel God! "
