The Void, a place where there is nothing but darkness. There is no life in the void, only an eternity of nothingness and pure darkness. This vast realm of darkness was created by the Perpetuals as a prison for those who have attempted to play 'God' and creating many abominatios of nature. So far there has not been a single soul in the Void, until now.
MC POV
Slowly I opened my eyes and the only thing I saw was darkness. What the hell is this place and did I die, did the the serum kill me? At first I thought this was hell but then if this place was hell then where are the demons that are supposed to torture me? Well let's get to exploring this place. As I got up I looked at my body and was stunned. It was hard to explain but it appears I'm an humanoid being full of blue light.
Could this be my soul, I thought my soul would be pitch black not bright blue due to the horrendous things I did. Suddenly, I remembered the past, my mind was filled with horrible acts I have done. Slowly I began to get used to these visions and carried on walking. What was that? Why was my mind filled with the crimes I have done.
It doesn't matter, what really matters is trying to figure out where the hell I am and how the hell do I get out. I then walked, looking around at my surroundings only finding darkness there. As my journey through the endless darkness began I couldn't help but feel as if something or someone is watching me.
??? POV
As that monster walk through the Void I observed him, hoping to see if he had any remorse for his actions. He didn't show any for now but later after a few hundred years he should be feel guilty for his actions as I doubt anyone would remain sane for that long in the Void that my siblings and I have made. Slowly pain started to find its way into my heart.
Tears threatened to spill out of my eyes but my determination to not shed tears for that monster remained strong. That monster can't be him, he can't be that small innocent baby that would always smile at me and tried to stop me from leaving by grabbing onto my index finger. I remember that moment well, it broke my heart when he cried trying to reach for me. Trying to feel the warmth of his mother.
I couldn't take it any more of this pain and broke down crying. Maybe the way he turned out wasn't his fault, maybe it was my fault. I shouldn't have left, I should have been there for him, giving him the love of a mother but I wasn't there for him. With tears in my eyes I left, hoping that after a few years he might feel guilty for his actions. and that though I can't forget his actions we could still be a family.

MC POV
How long has it been... how many weeks, months and years have passed since I came to this place. This endless Void has been affecting me both mentally and perhaps spiritually, my head is constantly filled with visions of my past acts and it was starting to get really annoying. My colour went from bright blue to pitch black. For some reason I feel rejuvenated and strengthened as my colour changed.
It took a long time for my colour to change, as it changed I felt this strange feeling of getting stronger. Perhaps I or rather my soul is adapting to this place and maybe this could help me with my escape. Who knows, perhaps just using my willpower I could create a portal and leave this place. It was a silly idea but the only one that is better than walking again for a long time. With my hand raised I concentrated, I then tried to imagine a portal being formed.
As my concentration grew my visions were slowly going away, this was a joyous moment as these visions were a pain in my ass and as a moment later I heard a crack. In front of me there was a small portal and for the first time since I came to this place, I was happy. I then increased my concentration and used my mind to make the portal more bigger and as it grew so did my excitement. When the portal was big enough, I began sprinting towards it with desperation to leave this place.
I jumped through the portal excitingly because now my I have escaped form my prison. When I went through the portal I was stunned at what I saw. There was flying cars, tall buildings and even flying people, did I travel to a world full of superpowers. As my thoughts distracted me I felt weak, when I looked at my arms they were blinking in and out of existence. This made me panic but then an idea popped in my head, could I possess someone?
This made me quickly think on to possess as I sought someone rich as I did want to be dirt poor and it seems lady lucky has finally smiled on me as I saw a child with nice clothes walking with his mother who would be considered a milf back in my world. Without a second thought I made contact with the boy and suddenly I was in a dark world. This place similar to that godforsaken place but there was a small ball of light in front of me. Was this the kid's soul?
This is it, my chance at survival, as I reached the small ball of light I could feel it trying to push me back but I was relentless. Come on, stop resisting, STOP MOVING YOU LITTLE SHIT, I AM NOT GOING BACK TO THAT PLACE AND IF I HAVE TO EAT YOUR SOUL SO FUCKING BE IT!!!!
At last the light was absorbed by me, slowly my senses were returning and for a long time, I felt the sun in my skin and the beautiful fresh air. Tears slowly came out as at last I was truly free.
"Darius, honey are you alright?"
A voice brought me back to reality, I looked at my 'mother' and smiled and said with a childlike voice "Yes mommy I'm fine, something got in my eye but its ok now". My mother looked relieved and decided to take me home. Looking at all this futuristic technology and flying people, I was filled with greed determination. In this life I will succeed in my goals of immortality and power, now all I need to do is find out more about this world.
??? POV
Its been 150 years since I left that monster in the Void, now maybe its time to see if he feels guilty over his actions. Now then... wait where is he, he was just here its not like he escaped as it was impossible to escape to the Void, unless. "ATREXA!!!!!" I shouted, calling out to my younger sister and she appeared in front of me. Atrexa was a tall beautiful woman but with a dangerous personality, her job was monitoring the Void.
Atrexa smiled and said with a sweet tone "Hello dear sister, what can I do for you" "Don't play dumb you know why I'm here, where the hell is my son." Atrexa looked stunned "You actually care for your son, if you did care for him then why did you leave, if you had just stayed with him he would have turned out a fine young man." This hit me hard as she was right but I don't have time to feel bad.
"Look just tell me where he is" Atrexa looked at me and closed her eyes, then she opened her eyes in shock "Holy shit...he escaped" Atrexa looked completely baffled by this and so did I, she then continued "It appears my nephew has been absorbing Void energy and he used this it to break free by causing a rift in the Void."
I was stunned, my son had escaped the Void itself. "Did he feel remorse for his actions?" Atrexa looked at me and said with a sad tone "Unfortunately no, he has no regrets over what he has done and most likely will continue on his quest for power."
"Well looks like we'll have to find him" to which Atrexa responds by saying "Well the Void energy has disguised David from our site and also we can't sense him at all" This made me frustrated, my plan was to try to find a way for my son to feel guilty so that he may see the consequences of his actions and redeem himself.
Atrexa looked at me with pity and said "Look I can understand your frustration and can't bear to see you like this so I'll help you find him." I looked at her with shock and then nodded to her with a smile.
"Thank you Atrexa" I said with a grateful tone.

And so these two Perpetuals made their plan to find David Mercer and to knock some sense to him, they had no idea what they were going to experience when they find him.
