"Vier.." Vier's mom lied in her bed.
"Carol should be fine, she's got a parasitic symbiote attached to her. We are afraid that it's her ability and not a foreign substance." The doctor walked out of the room.
Vier played with a pen, pressing it and making a clicking sound.
"Would you stop that?" Vier's mom snickered.
Vier kept pressing and playing with it.
"Vier." A male voice spoke to him. "Welcome to my domain, The Silver Subspace." Unface had a smirk on his face as he sat upon his throne made of bone.
"Huh?" Vier found himself back in the room where he had gotten his ability.
"I see you're learning to use my ability already. I knew you could do it." Unface was patronising Vier. He was playing with the pen and making a clicking sound, "Now, I guess I should give you my weapon. I entrust you with this, a weapon made to kill gods."
"Hey man, you're really gonna have to stop this whole teleporting me into a weird ass room and start monologuing thing, at least explain to me what the hell you're doing." Vier stood up from his chair, this time, he wasn't forced down, "Like, who even are you? Aren't you suppose to just give me my ability and leave? You're a dealer, you're not meant to be attached to a venator."
"Ahem, as I was saying," Unface had completely ignored Vier. "Each time a person-"
"JESUS CHRIST, JUST LISTEN TO ME!" Vier raised his voice and slammed the table. "I'm not your little play toy, at least explain to me why the fuck you chose me, why me? Do I have something of value to you? If so, I can assure you lad, I'm talentless, that jump? Pure fucking luck. That whole revive thing? I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW I DID THAT! Look, I don't want to be your little play toy and do your bidding, I just want a normal ability and let me live my life, even if it means I get a worse, ability."
Unface went quiet. Suddenly, his mask turned into a smile. "You're a funny man Vier. You want to know why I chose you?" Unface went close to Vier's face. "Cause I fucking can," His mask started to crack and crumble. His words echoed through the rooms and left a deathly silence. "Each and everything I do on this earth leaves a mark. Anyone or anything I choose gets branded in my name. Why do you think I'm a god, Vier? It's because I'm willing to take risks and chances, I'm not a coward who stands in the backlines and waits for the dungeon to be cleared before taking a small portion of the rewards, I'm a dog in the frontlines who kills and hunts down every single thing that breathes that gets in my way. You, you, my friend, are the direct fucking opposite. You're a scared bitch that doesn't do anything brave or courageous. However, I sense something off and different about you. I'm the god of emotion and intent, I can see everything about you, so these little inklings of mine aren't just that, they're premonitions. I trust in you Vier, and I fucking chose you cause I thought you'd be able to fulfill your new duties as my successor. I guess I was wrong, If you truly want to, I can grant you a normal ability and let you go on your way and you'll never see me again. However, I can't guarantee anything when it comes to your future if you're not willing to take my ability. Shake my hand and you'll officially be the wielder of my ability and my weapon. The world out there is harsh, with millions of monsters and creatures waiting to kill you. If you take my ability, I can guarantee you wealth, fame and success." Unface outstretched his hand, expecting a handshake.
"Fuck right off!" Vier slapped his hand away. "I don't need your fucking help to be successful, all I want is to be able to support my mom and make sure she's fed. I don't give a fuck about wealth, fame or success, they're just byproducts of trying to be an elite tier venator. Those videos I make? I'm not looking for monetary success, I'm trying to help people. And if you're the god of intentions and emotions you'll know that, so the deal is off, Mr Wise Guy."
There was a cracking sound. The sound of ceramic breaking and chipping. Unface started to clap his hands. "Did you really think I'd give you a choice?" Unface's mask had completely fallen off and his morphed and deformed face was revealed under the mask. "I didn't come here to make a deal. I came here to make an announcement," Unface grabbed Vier's hand. "And I don't fucking care if you don't want to be my play toy, I'll make you dance and play for me, even if it means your death," He whispered in Vier's ear. "You touched my hand, even if it means you didn't shake it, you activated the deal. Good fucking job lad, your life as a cheater of the system has started. Don't go get yourself killed kid," Unface took out a pair of shears from his pocket. "Take this, your first job will be unlocking the full capabilities of this weapon."
'[Shears] Strength: 1. Durability: NIL. Enchantments: [String Of Life's Curse] [Atropos' Touch] [Unbreakable] [Wielder's Oath]'
"NO!" Vier smacked the sheers out of his hand, landing on the ground and making a metallic clink sound, "I'm not going to give you the satisfaction of becoming your puppet."
Unface sighed and took a sit on his throne. "I knew you'd do this," Unface picked up the sheers off the ground, inspecting them, "This is a rare weapon, only an idiot would reject this." Unface lunged out of his throne, jumping towards Vier and thrusting the sheers into his abdomen. Staining his white shirt with blood, "Stop trying to be unique and stand out. Fulfill your purpose as a wielder and do what I fucking say. Now, let me just reiterate, I'm sorry if I disrespected you in any way. God and wielders should be respectful to one another. I truly believe in you, I've waited for thousands of years to find the perfect wielder. You're the only chance I have to-"
Vier blacked out, he couldn't hear the remaining end of the sentence.

"He's running out of blood, STAT! He has a large abdominal wound of unknown origin, apparently, he was visiting a family member and experienced some sort of sharp force trauma to the abdomen." A nurse was pushing Vier on a cart through the walls of the hospital.
"Where... where am I?" Vier was burning up and sweating, he had an oxygen mask on to keep him from suffocating.
