Trial of Demigod Continues! (18)
"No," Damon said softly. "I'm just the guy holding the scythe."Damon swung the blade, decapitating the Avatar of Light in a single slash. He walked over to the whimpering Valerius, and did the same.[Target Eliminated: Legendary Avatar 'Lucius'.][Target Eliminated: Legendary Avatar 'Valerius'.][The Gods of Light and Wealth avert their eyes in shame!]The silence returned to the Savage Lands, broken only by the crackling of the dying holy fire in the craters. Damon dismissed his scythe. He fell to one knee, resting his hand on the dirt. The magical exhaustion was heavy. He had survived without using the Tapestry, but it had pushed him to his limits.The crimson chat box popped up, its text frantic and filled with relieved, obsessive tears.[Goddess of Fate]: You are safe! You are safe! You are safe![Goddess of Fate]: I was so scared, my King. I thought the fire was going to touch you. I almost broke the door down.[Goddess of Fate]: You killed them perfectly. You are the only true
Trial of Demigod Continue! (19)
Damon felt a breath against his left ear. He instantly spun, swinging the scythe, but he only cleaved empty air. Loki was still standing thirty yards away, flipping the silver coin."It's annoying, isn't it?" Loki laughed softly. "You have the power to sever concepts. You can cut gravity, space, the light, and the debt, but tell me, Damon Silverstar... how do you cut a joke?"Damon’s expression remained blank, but internally, his mind was racing. Jubei had taught him to strike intent, but Loki had no intent. Aurelius’ Domain had failed because Damon stopped thinking. Loki was the inverse, feeding Damon so much sensory data that it was impossible to lock onto a target."I don't need to cut the joke," Damon said. "I just need to cut the clown."Damon gathered a burst of Divine Mana, expanding his aura outward. He flared his killing intent so vehemently that the physical space around him began to warp and crack. If he couldn't pinpoint Loki with his eyes, he would use his Divine Percepti
Trial of Demigod Continues! (20)
Loki Vance crouched casually a few feet away,. In The Madhouse, Loki was the author of the rules. The Grand Illusionist rested his chin in his hand, his emerald eyes tracing the jagged crimson lines of the Goddess of Fate's brand that were burning furiously through Damon’s torn shirt."It's a fascinating paradox you find yourself in, Executioner," Loki murmured, his voice echoing from every direction in the swirling sky. "Your domain is trying to expand. My domain is telling your domain that 'outward' means 'inward'. You are literally suffocating under the weight of your own superiority."Damon gritted his teeth, tasting copper. He tried to grip the handle of the scythe embedded in the glass next to him."Ah, ah, ah," Loki tutted, wagging a finger. "I wouldn't do that if I were you. Your scythe embodies the concept of cutting, correct? In The Madhouse, intent is mirrored. If you swing that blade with the intent to sever my neck... your own head will fall off your shoulders."The crims
End!
Damon closed his eyes. The necrotic orb was inches from his face. Damon didn't try to dodge. He emptied his mind, entering a state of profound nothingness. He severed his own conscious connection to his nervous system, letting the muscle memory of three years of brutal martial arts training take over.The Flow. Because there was no conscious intent to avoid the spell, there was nothing for The Madhouse to reverse. Damon’s body acted on pure, thoughtless instinct. He casually tilted his head a fraction of an inch to the left. The S-Rank necrotic orb grazed his dark hair, sailing past him and detonating against the crater wall behind him.Loki’s smile vanished. His emerald eyes widened in genuine shock. "What?"Damon opened his eyes. The crimson irises were blank, devoid of malice, anger, or strategy.He didn't step toward Loki. His body simply flowed forward, gliding across the neon purple glass like a phantom. He made no sound, because his mind was empty, the domain's reversal law sli
F Rank Executioner
The pain was a nostalgic, bitter old friend. For the past sixty days, Damon Silverstar had existed in a state of physiological perfection. The Tears of the Sovereign and his ascended Divine stats had rendered his flesh indestructible. He had forgotten what it felt like to have his bones grind together, what it felt like to have his lungs burn for oxygen, and what it felt like to taste his own warm blood.He was embedded in the glassy wall of the crater, his vision swimming with dark spots.[System Warning: Critical Trauma Detected.][Host's Mortal Ribs (Left) fractured in three places.][Internal Hemorrhaging active. Vitality is critically low.]Damon forced his eyes open. The world was spinning. He gripped the jagged glass of the crater wall with his bare hands, his muscles screaming in protest, and pulled himself free. He dropped ten feet to the ground, landing on his boots. His knees buckled, and he was forced to catch himself with one hand, coughing up another splatter of blood ont
Tapestry of a Win!
[Goddess of Fate]: LET ME KILL HIM! LET ME KILL HIM! LET ME KILL HIM!The red text filled Damon's vision, blocking out the sky. Damon clutched his broken arm, spitting a mouthful of blood onto the dirt. He forced himself to his knees, his right hand gripping the handle of the scythe like a crutch.‘He's right,’ Damon thought, his vision blurring. ‘I can't redirect raw power, and I can't lift the scythe fast enough to cut him. My stats are gone.’But as Damon looked at the neon, purple sigil of The Madhouse shimmering on the ground beneath him, a desperate, insane thought crossed his mind. ‘Loki had stolen his physical stats. His Strength, Agility, and Vitality, but a Domain wasn't fueled by physical stats. A Domain was the reflection of the soul. Loki's Paradox of the Fool had inverted their physical bodies, but the system couldn't invert a soul.’Damon still had his Demigod Mana Core. It was just trapped inside a mortal, broken vessel."Hey, Fool," Damon rasped, his voice barely abov
Acceptance
Chapter 31: Crown of ZenithThe golden pillar of light bathed the ruined Savage Lands in a warm holiness. Damon Silverstar stood at the epicenter of the destruction, his midnight black coat billowing in the gentle, descending updraft. Before him, hovering on a pristine cushion of white velvet, was the Crown of the Zenith. It was forged from pure starlight, emitting an aura of authority. To wear it meant to be officially recognized by the Universal System as a true demigod, granted a seat in the lower echelons of the Astral Pantheon.He had bled for it. He had shattered his mortal bones, outsmarted omniscience, severed death, and humiliated war. He had broken the Avatar of Mischief. He took a step forward, raising his right hand toward the artifact.[System Notice: The Victor approaches the Zenith.][Commencing Coronation Protocol...]Damon’s fingertips brushed the warm, golden starlight of the Crown. Suddenly, the golden light curdled. The warmth of the starlight turned into a freezin
Crown!
She continued her descent, landing on the glassy earth, mere inches from Damon. The sheer density of her manifestation in the mortal realm locked his muscles in place. He was standing face to face with the true sovereign, the architect of his power and his isolation. She was shorter than him, forcing her to look up slightly. She reached out with pale, trembling hands. She didn't look at his scythe, or the carnage around him. Her crimson eyes frantically scanned every inch of his face, her breathing heavy."My beautiful, perfect king," she whispered, her melodic voice cracking with overwhelming emotion. "You did it. You killed them all. You were so magnificent."She reached up, her cold fingertips gently cupping his cheek, tracing the line of his jaw. The touch sent a shudder through Damon’s chest, the brand over his heart throbbing in sync with her physical presence."They tried to take your prize," she murmured, a dark smile curling her lips. She raised her free hand.The Crown of th
Tapestry of Genesis
The kiss did not feel like human affection. It felt like the birth of a star and the end of the world compressed into a single second. When the Goddess of Fate pressed her lips against Damon Silverstar’s, the reality of the Savage Lands simply ceased to matter. The ruined obsidian craters, the ashes of the Golden Valley, the shattered golden sky, everything vanished into a suffocating ocean of crimson light.Damon couldn't breathe. He couldn't think. The sheer, incomprehensible density of a Sovereign Constellation's aura was flooding into his mortal-ascended vessel. It was like trying to pour an ocean into a teacup.The shining brand on his chest erupted, the intricate crest of the Goddess of Fate burning through his skin, expanding frantically up his neck and down his arms.[SYSTEM FATAL ERROR!][Host's Soul Synchronization exceeds critical threshold!][50%... 65%... 80%...][Ego Death Imminent. Host 'Damon Silverstar' is being overwritten.]He was losing himself. The focus of the Ex
Return of Demigod!
Damon stared at the numbers. His Divine Stats had tripled from the influx of EXP after slaughtering the Avatars of Wealth, Light, and Mischief. He had enormous Divine Mana. He was a walking Catastrophe-Class danger."I won the draft," Damon said, looking down at the silver-haired goddess resting against his chest. "The System declared it. I claimed the Crown. What happens now?"The Goddess’s smile faded. She slowly pulled back, her glowing crimson eyes narrowing. The warm, obsessive atmosphere in the Tapestry turned freezing cold."Now?" she whispered, turning her back to him and walking slowly toward her crystallized throne. "Now, the Pantheon throws a tantrum."She waved her hand. A golden viewing screen descended from the ceiling of threads, stopping right in front of Damon. The screen displayed the celestial realm of the Sovereign Gods, a massive amphitheater made of white marble and starlight, usually reserved for the Council of the Seven.The amphitheater was in ruins. The God o
