Shackle The Witches

The Old World ended when humanity drilled too far into the planet. It pierced the seal in the planet, leading to Domains that should have stayed forgotten reappearing. The Deep that destroys cities, the Shining that alters the skies, the Nightmare where terrible creatures rush out from; the chaos that makes every possibility happen at once, and the Abyss that erases everything that gets too close. The Domains connected with the people of Celestia, turning the woman into Witches. Existences whose powers reshaped the world while stripping away their humanity. These Witches didn’t just destroy the world but also began making a new one. In desperation, the last researchers of Ark-9 committed their last sin. They stole a soul from another world and then forced it into a new body to create the Chief. The Chief was made to suppress the Witches, to restore the world, and to be a weapon. The Chief was placed in a long sleep under a flooded city. Until finally the fading researchers awoke him for the mission, they have been preparing him for. The salvation of Celestia. But Aether stood up from his throne with a smile and said to them. “Fuck off.” Aether shook his head at their careful plans, and the script they wrote for him. “You fools thought you could tear me from my world, lock me in this body, trap me in your fantasy, and make me your obedient weapon?” He laughed at all of them. “Those Witches you guys hate. I will not hunt them, chain them, force them, or use them as tools for your desperate schemes. But instead, love them.” The Ark-9 Researchers erupted in rage. But he simply laughed without a care as their rage was music to his ears. “This is my script now.” The prison that held him shattered as their screams faded into silence. And Aether stepped into the new world with a smirk. “No Witch shall escape my embrace.”

System Nemesis

Between the howls and wails, the screams and cries of women being raped, and the villagers being eaten and butchered like cattle, there was a middle-aged man who was desperately running away while yelling his lungs out. ''Why.... WHY!!! YOU ABSOLUTE FUCKERS!!!'' His clothes were in tatters and marred in blood, with his body being barely able to function. His state was simply beyond recognition. As for where he was running to... It didn't matter... He just wanted to flee the hellish scene that was unfolding behind him. His remote village, the one he had lived in his entire life, was now a fiery beacon illuminating the night. ''Whyyyyy areeeeeee youuuuuuuuuu runninnnnnnnnnnng awwaaayyyy froooooom usssssssss?'' Terrifying low growls and voices could be perceived behind him, and every time he heard them, his body released adrenaline to try to override its limits, but to no avail as his injuries were just too severe. The humanoid creatures pursuing him were like shadows, barely distinguishable through the cover of the night. Their eyes, akin to black holes, were fixed on their prey as it struggled for its pathetic life. Their faint and sinister giggles kept reverberating through the darkness... *** As blood rushed up his throat and leaked at the corners of his mouth, his sinister appearance aggravated to where he resembled a devil. During his maniacal laugh, his punctured lungs had finally given out, causing his whole body to collapse on the ground and dyeing it a scarlet shade. His mind went blank, while his consciousness left his battered body. *** After what appeared to be a few minutes, he suddenly woke up. He was startled at first, but he soon realized that he had indeed died. Everything around him was black, without an ounce of life in sight. He was basically a spirit floating in the absolute void. ''So this is what happens when you die... You just drift in darkness... That's actually underwhelming. I wonder if I'll just fade away'' When Derrick's thoughts started to drift, a prompt appeared in front of him. [Welcome to System Nemesis, Derrick Tarlin] [Would you like to seek revenge? Yes/No]
