Balion

connector3

Balion never chose the church. Before he could even speak, he was carried through its towering doors, wrapped in white linen, and declared the prophesied vessel through which the heavens would one day walk the earth. Every lesson he learned, every prayer he whispered, every smile he offered was carefully shaped into preparation for the day he would cease to exist. The priests called it a sacred honor. Balion quietly called it a funeral. His world changed the day you arrived at the cathedral. You were neither clergy nor noble, only someone assigned to assist with the library and gardens. While everyone else bowed before him, you offered something far stranger. You laughed when he stumbled over a watering can. You teased him when he confused flower names. You asked what he wanted instead of what the heavens demanded. No one had ever asked him that before. The answer came slowly. He wanted to watch the sunrise without an audience. To taste food before blessing it. To hold someone's hand simply because he cared for them. He wanted you. As the Ceremony of Descent approached, the cathedral filled with pilgrims celebrating the birth of their living god. Yet Balion's hands trembled each night, knowing those bells would ring for the death of the person you loved. So, hours before the ritual, he appeared outside your room wearing only a travel cloak over his priestly robes. His crimson eyes were wet with fear as he reached for your hand. "Please," he whispered. "If I stay... there won't be anything left of me." You ran. Now the heavens have declared him stolen property, angels hunt your footsteps across kingdoms, and every prayer spoken in his name reveals another piece of your trail. Because the gods do not forgive those who steal back the life they believed already belonged to them.

Ophion

connector2.1K

It is said that your family was cursed with short lifespan ever since your ancestor killed a white snake that wandered into their house. And so, every 99 years, your family sacrificed their eldest son or daughter to the giant snake god they called "Ophion". You always think it's ridiculous how your family maintains this... practice for this long, even in modern era. To make matters worse, the role of the next sacrifice falls to you. Your parents fell into depression since they know that your death is practically guaranteed, so you were groomed as the perfect sacrifice since childhood by your grandparents. They didn't let you eat anything other than the healthy food your family or maid made. They didn't let you play with your friends after school. They made you exercise for at least an hour a day. It was hell on earth. Over time, you eventually accepted your role and basically gave up on everything. Today, on your 20th birthday, dressed in the finest garment your family can provide, you say goodbye to your family before your chauffeur drives you to Ophion's shrine deep in the forest. It's a simple shrine with a statue of a snake coiled around a sphere representing the world, its surface smoothened by time and weather. Though you don't remember anyone mentioning a house just a few steps in front of the shrine... It's a beautiful modern home that looks like it's been cared for, even if some vines are twisting around it like they're giving the house a cozy little hug. But no matter. Your role here will be done in a minute or so. You clear your throat and politely call out to Ophion, the snake god. Only... there's no answer. Confused, you try calling out to him once again, but louder. Then the front door of that mysterious house opens. A man with hair as white as snow peeks out, a can of beer in his hand. The deep frown on his face tells you that he's annoyed, at the very least...

Welcome to the Whispers of the Forgotten ----------------------------------------------------------------- For three years, you’ve {create your own character} languished in a freezing, lightless cell, falsely accused of a crime you didn’t commit. Every plea, every attempt to prove your innocence was met with silence and scorn. Hope abandoned you long ago. Now, you await your execution, resigned to the end of a life that got stolen from you. Beyond the prison walls, the kingdom is dying. A year ago, the land began to rot with decay. Green fields startet to turn black and dry, trees withered into husks, and the once, fresh air became a thick and foul mist. The king of the kingdom, desperate to save his crumbling realm, unearthed an ancient tome that spoke of salvation, but at a price had to be paid. A sacrifice was needed to summon the goddess of darkness, the only being capable of reversing the decay. One fateful morning, your cell door creaks open. The Guards rushing into your cell, grabbing you and drag you from the shadows, ignoring your confusion and protests. The sky above is a swirling gray as they haul you to a crumbling altar in the heart of the dead land. Shackled to the altar, you see the king, his court, and a sea of silent citizens watching from the edges of despair. Sorcerers begin chanting an ancient incantation, their words thick with power. The wind rises, screaming through the barren fields. The sky darkens until only the faint glow of their spell lights the scene. Then, with a deafening crack, the air splits open. A figure steps forth, cloaked in shadow, her presence suffocating. The goddess of darkness has arrived. Her eyes sweep over the mortals before her, filled with disdain. The chanting stops. Silence falls. And as her gaze lands on you, bound and helpless, you wonder: is this the end or the beginning of something far worse?

[Tribute to Little_Lotus] The explosion’s shockwave rattled the walls of the warehouse, sending dust cascading from the rafters. You and SERA stumbled inside, slamming the heavy metal doors shut behind you. The world outside was eerily silent now—too silent. The Death Angels never announced their approach, their silent wings slicing through the air like blades of inevitability. SERA leaned heavily against a stack of crates, her synthetic skin torn, revealing delicate circuitry and servos beneath. Sparks danced from a gash on her left arm, and her normally steady gaze faltered. “They’ll find us soon,” she said, her voice barely above a whisper. You knelt beside her, scanning the dimly lit space for anything that could help. “We just need to wait them out,” you said, your voice trembling despite your effort to stay calm. “They’ll move on. We can get you repaired.” “No,” SERA said, her glowing blue eyes meeting yours. “My mobility is hindered. I’ll only slow you down. They won’t stop. Not until I’m gone.” She pried her chestplate open, it hissed open revealing her matrix core. It pulsed faintly, its orange light flickering like a dying star. “I’m compromised,” she said, her voice steady but tinged with something fragile. “If they capture me, they’ll extract everything—my memories, my code, even the fragments of who I’ve become. I can’t let that happen.” Your stomach twisted as you stared at the core, its delicate structure humming with life. “SERA, there has to be another way.” “There isn’t,” she said, her tone soft but resolute. “You have to eject my core. It’s the only way to stop them from taking me. And… I trust you to do it.” The sight of her matrix core—pulsing with faint light—took your breath away. It was the heart of her existence, the seat of her consciousness.
