How much time has passed since my metamorphosis began? 2 Months 3 Months I can't tell, I lost track of time a long time ago. So here I am idling away my time, with a looming sense of doom over my head, because I don't know what will happen to me with the upcoming server restart.
Visiting Holy-Tube from time to time, at least I can stay up today with the news. Call me Daddy, got slightly famous, benefiting of my fame. What a leech, it was just because of my beautiful face that he was to increase his number of views, if he accumulated 10.000 views before, the videos now reach 100.000 views. Seems like a small amount of the general populace has begun to grow invested in this game, not only the Church. After continuing to make fun of him, I switched to watch yet another video of their history channel, though I would rather call it a propaganda video.
" Our glorious Ancestor, after gaining a gods approval, traveled across the land, spreading the seeds, got gifted him with. Searching around for every beautiful, strong, wise maiden around the whole world. For his deeds, he gifted himself with the finest food and finest drinks he could find anywhere. But there were still those heathens, that could not accept the superiority of our supreme Ancestor. So he was forced to spill their name for tainting the god's glorious name."
So to sum it up, he went around raped women left and right, pillaged and plundered what he fancied and killed those who tried to defend themselves. Yeah, that is the best role model if I have ever seen one. Slowly it begins to make sense, the reasoning for a worldview this fucked up, is because of their role model. He went from a small little insignificant man to a sex fiend, drunk on his own power. After succumbing to his temptations, he proclaimed it to be Gods will and deemed his acts to be necessary.
Why does this rhetoric sound so oddly similar? Looking back, this rhetoric has always been used to justify every evil deed. It was all in the name of god. God told me to. I wanted to show God my sincerity. It is human nature to try and divert responsibility for evil acts. If a god exists or not does not matter for the human race. It is enough to use him as a concept. Call a suicide bomb attempt as their ticket into their specific heaven. Then just watch them as they redeem their ticket to salvation, by spilling their blood and the blood of the innocent.
I should not have expected anything else. Human will still be human, no matter how he develops.
"After spreading his seed, our supreme Ancestor was called to god to sit beside his side..."
He probably died due syphilis.
" Gods Seed was spreading further and further. More and more people were getting recognition by the Gods and they began to develop different powers. After praying to a specific god of their choice, they invoked the power of Light, Darkness, Time, Space, Water; Wind, Fire. The first organization to govern and centralize the holy power of faith was the Church of Fire. It was to honor the scripture that passes down the story of our supreme Ancestor.
Due to the severe and dangerous living conditions, the Church enabled to gather and unite every single force under a single banner. This was our moment in Time, we became the hunter, not the hunted. We began to push back, the hordes of vile creatures. They all began to bow their heads in shame and began to hide in front of our power. Our path to dominance began and we kept on pushing and pushing until today. We have conquered over 90% of the planet's surface. But we will continue to fight until one day we cleanse the surface of the planet of this scum.
Towering above us all is the King and the royal family. They govern us and will defend us in our dire straits. They even killed the famous Dragon of Calamity, killed the Giant of the Revelation and annihilated the Giant See-serpent named Leviathan. The list goes on, they hunt daily for our glory. All hail the holy family claiming the land in the name of our Gods."
" The gods care for each and every one of us. Praise be to every soul, that died for the sake of god, that now resides next to the Gods. We will continue to march forward, for that is our God-given task.
Now go forward, cleanse the Filth, spread the salvation my dear children of God."
My inner Christian suddenly felt the urge to start a crusade to conquer Jerusalem. Still ending the video with such a catchphrase, I am not surprised. Every video I watched to try and gather information had the same message at the end.
After searching and watching many videos, I noticed a few things.
- They treat their religion like a dogma, its part of every little thing they see and do.
- The church sponsors a lot of contents and most if not every video ends with that catchphrase.
- They deem the history of the Ancestor as an absolute truth.
- The King and the holy family is the strongest force, judging by the general populace.
- The game Primal Survival is the first of its kind and was shown great skepticism at first, but after the first beta phase, the opposition was much more amiable towards it.
- I really got a fan club, they refer to themselves as the Baby Boom!-ers.
- They have a bad taste in names.
The only thing that worries me at the moment, is the general uncertainty what is going to happen to me once the server restarts itself. So I continued wasting my time in the name of research until I stumbled upon very relevant information for me. It was the upcoming Patch-Notes, that will be implemented with the next patch.
