The Ancient's Origins
The only morals I had were a single rule:
I would leave 'her' alone.
I would let 'her' live her life without my influence, even though we were once close. Close enough to be... no, that'll be for another time.
I lived by that single rule, without caring about what I did to anyone else. I killed, I made people suffer, I forced people into despair. Didn't matter if they were innocent or not, I was just a murder maniac. I enjoyed killing. I still do.
I was, no. I am despicable.
Only at my deathbed, only then did I regret.
Only at my deathbed, when I learned that 'she' died by the hands of someone, who wanted to frame me, was I livid.
I used the one thing I mastered from the origin.
[Origin Storm]
And with what little strength I had, I tried to trigger it at the same city those responsible were.
I failed.
I WANTED TO SLAUGHTER THEM.
But shortly after that, I collapsed upon a ruin's steps, I saw my former best friend, the one before I... 'turned', so to speak. He only asked one thing before I ultimately died.
"Why?"
I but simply smiled and closed my eyes. Accepting the warm embrace of death.
Then, then I awoke.
In the same hospital I was entered in when I was struck by lightning.
The same day I changed, for the worst.
Then I heard a voice.
"Only in despair, did you regret.
Only at the loss of your anchor, did you finally go insane.
Only for your duty, did you defy death and try to avenge 'her'.
By the Authority of the Origin Tree, Yggdrasil, I shall give you a single chance.
Why, you might ask. It's simple, boredom and nothing else."
Even if I was reborn from the boredom of a higher being, I thanked them.
I, Gray Darian, was scum. Hah... maybe I still am. I was hypocritical, selfish, purposefully ignorant, arrogant. And much more.
I won't say something cliche like 'I'll change for the better'.
The only thing I'll do... is repay the debts I owe.
