[new quest given, type: main quest]
[quest: kill the god of calamity that has enacted the ancient test upon your world, his power is unmatched, chance of success currently:0%]
I was petrified, confused, stuck in place.
the torrents of destruction continued on behind me as I was dragged away by some people in a jeep, the screens words stuck with me in my memory as my anxiety grew, so many questions swirled in my head as I fumbled for my phone, I was too shaky to even hold it, one bump amd it flew to the road, shattering entirely.
I wasn't even able to be upset about it as I felt an overwhelming numbness.
"hey! you!"(teenager) shouted at me, drawing me back to reality.
"huh?"(sam) I meekly mumbled, barely holding steady eye contact, I was a mess.
"did you get a system too?"(teenager)
I nodded slowly.
"we all got quests, small stuff, it promised strength in return for doing them, what'd you get?"(teenager)
I just simply shoved the screen towards them, I watched as the color drained from their faces.
"that was a god?! this is a test?! I thought there was only one god, and he certainly isn't a god of calamity!"(teenager-christian teenager)
his friends joined his panic, debating theology as we fled the city, their priorities really ticked me off!
"it says his power is unmatched, when he was talking it sounded like he was doing this for someone, I'm now more terrified of whoever started this, the things power is unmatched! UNMATCHED! and yet it's doing someone else bidding!"(teenager driving) yelled, picking the worst time to panic about something, the jeeps front wheel jumped upwards as the vehicle groaned and listed to its side, the roll flung my body from the car, I could feel amd hesr my bones crunch as I hit something, shattered glass and metal scraping echoed down the road as my blurry eyes barely caught the scene as it unfolded.
"how unfortunate for you."(deep male voice)
I craned my neck up slowly, finding great difficulty as I nearly passed out whole trying, my rage boiling as my eyes caught sight of the one speaking.
it was that large wolf!
"you've been given the goal of killing me, that won't ever happen, I control all this, so do make this fun for me, go out there, grow stronger, and give me a run for my money, make this fun for me!"(god of calamity) spoke, his canine eyes took a deep red glow around the pupils, it chilled me to the bone, my survival instincts were screaming louder than they ever have.
"I won't kill you, not until you're interesting, I won't help you either, like I said, this shit only gets harder, don't blame me, I'm just doing what I'm told here, I've got better shit to be doing."(God of calamity)
I was disgusted, he's killed millions and his only words are that he has better things to be doing and that he won't kill me!
my rage peaked as my broken arm lashed at the god, a disappointed sigh escaped his jaws.
"this is pathetic."(God of calamity) said as he sauntered away from me, towards a parked car.
he stretched open one wing and in a movement faster than I could see the wing slapped the car, decimating it completely and knocking debris through the building next to it, a sonic boom newrly destroyed my ears as my broken arms were unable to shield them.
the debris flew until it made their way through several dozen sky scrapers, knocking each one down without fail, the area where he slapped the car had been reduced to one large hold by the time the dust had cleared.
"that wasn't even half power."(God of calamity) said as his canine form loomed over me, eyes glowing ominously, he'd appeared beside me!
"you humans can do all you like, think what you like, even with me giving you all power not a single one of you will ever, and I mean ever, be able to even scratch me, I've done enough, gotten a few more cowards eliminated, enjoy the test, it won't get better from here, the other gods will see to that."(God of calamity)
with one swift move his looming figure blasted into the sky as the loud echoing wing flaps droned on in my bleeding ears.

[new quest, type: main]
[survive the test and become a god, reward: the creation of your own universe and near unlimited power]
my hope rose through my battered chest.
"can I become a god now?!(sam)
[yes, god hood is divided into three stages, minor, mid tier, and full]
[minor has stats around a hundred thousand, mid tier, five hundred thousand, and full, one million]
[survive the test and complete most of your quests and you can jump straight to full god]
"will it be enough to kill that wolf?!"(sam) I shouted at the screen.
[no, the calamity god has stats around three million, all gods are permanently stopped at one million]
just like that my hope was shattered, more shattered than my body, all I could do was lay here and cry to myself as the sounds of agony amd death slowly began to fade.
what else could I do, not even winning this test would allow me to defeat the one that started this all, the one that ruined my life, ruined my home!
[system type acquired- justice system]
[generating abilities]
[error]
[unable to correct error]
[error- you are unable to judge a being from earth, only earth laws and those that work in the justice system can]
"what?"(sam) I weakly said in confusion.
[system change begun, new system- rage system]
"why can't I have the first one?!"(sam) I shouted at the screen, energy coursing through my veins.
[the calamity god Is from earth, killed and brought to another world, his actions are deemed justified by the system and by the gods, your earth laws are unable to process him, you are unable to enact justice, your human definition of it]
I didn't think my world could crumble more, but to learn that the one who started all this was from here, and he didn't care, WHY?!
the screen answered.
[time moved differently, he was brought eight thousand years in the past in that universe, he's lived that whole time, facing different trials and worlds, earth is only a distant dream for him, a place he no longer holds attachment to]
AND THAT JUSTIFIES DESTROYING IT AND ALL THE PEOPLE ON IT?!
[he is a god, he may justify what he wishes to, gods do no wrong, they determine what is right and wrong, everything is ruled by power, if you have the power, you make the rules]
THEN BRING OVER SOMEONE WHO CAN DO SOMETHING!
[unable]
[this world has been sealed, no being other than these four gods can enter or exit, not even the god of life, the calamity gods sister]
