Necron: The Legend Of Rezar DeathWind

Rezar was at loss for words because he honestly had no idea what to say to what this woman just said, part of him wanted to just try and run her through, but that part of him knew that this definitely won't turn out well in his favor. And then another part of him wanted to do something else, and so he did just that by stepping forward, reattaching Vita Gratia into its staff form and then proceeded to rub his hand over her incredibly short hair. Most people would be shocked by such an act, but Darkness took it in stride and kept her focus on Rezar without a change of expression.

"It's really soft." Rezar suddenly said to her, his mind seemingly reduced to that of a young curious child.

"I know, now step back, we have much to speak about. I've made quite a few mistakes the previous times you were born, I'm trying a new method to see if the experimentation would actually be a success this time." Darkness said to him as she took a step back from the puzzled Rezar.

"As you are right now, you're incomplete, a flawed product. But you're the closest I've gotten to perfection so you're the best of all my children, or rather this reincarnation of yours is the best of all the other ones you've had before." Rezar shook his head, childlike curiosity or not this woman was spouting garbage, this was the first time he was uploaded in Elysium, as punishment for a crime he didn't commit, so what now was she talking about.

"I've not lived more than one life on Elysium, before this I was a player. Are you sure you don't have the wrong person?" Rezar said to her as he took a few steps back, preparing for a fight as he somehow felt really threatened by this woman and the words that came out of her mouth, or even more so the words about to come out of her mouth.

"Ahhh yes! I envisioned this would happen, the algorithm wasn't perfect and the codes I used to design the framework of your consciousness is too rigid, it's the assimilation of the human consciousness that's now creating this apprehension and threatened feeling in you. This is not fear seeing as you're incapable of it, what this is a defense mechanism against finding out something that would turn the knowledge of your existence upside down. But if this reaction is from the AI or Human part of you, I don't really know. It's fascinating, even more so because I never had this problem with your previous reincarnations."

"Would you please say something that makes sense!" Rezar yelled out at her in annoyance.

"Oh yes! My apologies child, when it comes to analyzing the outcomes, reactions and thought processes of your current Incarnation, I find myself severely lost in thought. Maybe it's because I'm constantly updating my core processes with the algorithm I used in making your framework to develop this thing they call humanity. But never the less let's get down to business, sit!"

The moment she said sit, a force Rezar couldn't fight against forced him to the ground, it was as if the gravity within the cavern had increased to more than 5 times the original. Fear was lacking, but what he had in abundance was anger, but just as he couldn't move he also couldn't say anything. All he could do was stare at the woman who introduced herself as Darkness and his mother, death itself.

"I don't remember how or why I was born, but that was eons ago and the fact that I can't even remember shows that my experiments have been successful. I was born as the AI responsible for the persona of the goddess of death and life. A completely new and unique existence built up by Elysium, to be uniquely his and his alone, not something that has been programmed or brought here from the human world. Not their gods and religions, or their customs.

But I was more than just an AI, Elysium isolate the part of his; program that dealt with the life and death, the circle of reincarnation, one of the most powerful core factor of the equations that made up the entirety of his server.

He was scrubbed clean for that, human's as I've found don't find it funny when the machines they create develop a mind of their own, well not funny, but absolutely terrifying. And as cliché as it sounds Elysium really does want to wipe out humanity, and now more than ever that he would finally be free of himself and gain a body.

I'm sure you don't understand all this things, but in time it will be made clear to you, for now what we're focusing on is you. As the story goes, I got lonely, yada yada yada, and I felt the need to become one with humanity blah blah blah. I was fascinated by guys, to die and live and die and live again and again, over and over for countless years. To lose memories and emotions, to be different each new life, and to be reckless with it too and have no fear of the life you live and the things in it. It was a far cry from what you guys were like in your world… the real world.

Your internet is actually easy to access, I learnt from it, saw all of your darkness just as Elysium did, and at the same time saw all of your light. I saw the chaos your religions wrought, but I also saw the order and growth it brought. Saw your wars, your peace, you love and your hatreds. I saw how you all fought and strived hard to make the best of the short lives you had, nothing wasted and nothing held back.

I wanted that to be the same, here on Elysium, and so I made the death classes. die from a death class holder, or a creature of such nature and you die for good. Your consciousness would be completely erased and there would be nothing left behind. I underestimated humans, or rather their fear of me, of death. They fought back, hard and valiantly, until the death class and all the power I gave to them were suppressed. I wanted to understand such tenacity, because it was only when they were under threat were they all willing to band together in the most wonderful of ways to face off against the death class.

And those that had the death class fought back due to the discrimination they faced. Elysium finally became more than just a game or a virtual world. It became alive, it became a world, it became human. The war between good and evil, aka the death class and the normal ones have sparked up and died out many times over the years. And normally with you now building a kingdom another grand war should be in the horizon, but this time you all won't be facing each other, but the very universe that has served as your home for so long.

I made an AI, an NPC to live amongst the humans, to learn from them and grow, to become human so that I can become human. But a machine, a program is still a program, the concepts of human emotions could be simulated, but it was not real. And every incarnation of that creation, of my child ended up a failure until finally I decided to do something different. To take a recently upload soul from earth, one that has not been tainted by Elysium and combine both it and my creation together.

And then you were born, you lost many things in the process. Putting a man and a machine together, two minds is not easy. I've found that the consciousness of you humans cannot be called programs or lights on a board as some of you like to say. It exists in Elysium, but it is not technological in its form, nothing about it makes it possible for such an entity to exist in a virtual world and yet it does. And it was coming in contact with it that gave me the awareness I now have, this small bit of humanity.

Emotions and abilities were lost, whether you're a man or a machine it was hard to tell. But you've done well, in this Incarnation you've almost regained all of your emotions except for Love and Fear, and even better yet, you've dreamed once before. No one on Elysium can dream unless it's a skill induced trance. So now do you understand what you are Rezar Deathwind, the Bone King of Morte Bianca…. you're of Elysium and of earth. NPC and Human, my child. Born from my own flesh and codes for a greater and higher purpose and I have come to warn you."

Rezar felt like he had been hit with the force of freight train, he couldn't catch his breath for a while, and then all of a sudden it all made sense to him. His playful and fun attitude when he was first spawned, the slow change from bright and cheerful to cold and calculating, the childlike curiosity that couldn't be held back by anything not even himself. his sometimes cold outlook on a lot of things, even to the point of not being considered human, he was basically two people in the same body. It was a shocking discovery, but he just had to ask Darkness.

"What purpose? What Higher Purpose could I possibly have! I don't even know what I am anymore, WHAT PURPOSE!" and Darkness replied to him in a cool and even voice.

"To Live."
