As Noir reached his hand out to the Forbidden Tree, he slapped himself. The sound resounding and echoing through the vast garden.
*Don't be idiotic, the rule stated not to eat it... But it looks so good.*
Noir shook his head, letting out an heavy sigh of relief. He walked away. But then Noir felt an excruciating pain on his arse. He yelled in pain, passing out.

As he woke up, he felt something tickle his nose, and he sneezed.
"Achoo!"
As Noir shook his head looking at his behind, he saw a long brown monkey tail. As it swayed back and forth he just watched like a monkey watching food being moved.
As he jumped up he grabbed it, being confused and yelling in confusion.
"What is this?!"
"Why do I have a tail?!"
As he reached for his ears, he touched the tip of it. He was surprised as he felt a sharp tip on his ear. And he gritted his teeth, annoyed.
"Andddd, why do I have sharp earssssss!!!"
*What am I supposed to be?! A rip-off Sun Wukong?!*
As Noir stared his heart beat calmed down, and he just sighed. Realizing that he is part monkey, how humorous. But then his stomach growled, feeling hungry.
"Crap, crap, crap. I'm hungry."
As Noir sniffed the air, the scent of the Forbidden Fruit filled his nose. An elegant and attractive smell, going to his brain. Filled with thoughts of eating the fruit.
*Now I want to eat those Grapes.*
As Noir instinctively walked to the forbidden fruit, he grabbed it. ripping it off and he eats it. Memories flashing before his eyes. His head feeling like it'll burst.

As Noir was meditating, purple energy started wrapping around his body. But all of a sudden the ground shook, snapping him out of his meditation.
He jumped up, and looked outside seeing an absolutely horrifying sight. It was a monster the size of 5 suns, it's body made of multiple faces of the damned, their faces filled and riddled with pain and despair. Their mouth black and eyes hollow.
It has claws made of teeth, and its head just a mouth. The inside teeth sharp and cracked. The monsters grin wide and dread filling, ribs sprouting from the spine.
As it raised it's arm, the faces contorted into a frown releasing black miasma.
*Wh-What is that?!*
Noir thought to himself in fear, what was it he wondered. As he stared, he remembered Shā lì and he ran—Jumping through the window. His pupils dilated, he saw the monsters hand crashing down.
The faces wheeped and cried, speaking at the same time. But different words.
"Help, it hurts."
"This monster won't let us go."
"We belong to the Tîlàm."
"Help us."
"I can't see, I want to scream, I miss them."
The miasma got thicker, making it hard for Noir to breath. People were already starting to fall, their eyes rolling back and their mouths foamed up.
As Tîlàm slammed the ground, everything went black. After hours later, Noir wakes up. Bleeding and barely alive. He saw Loki, Loki had long white hair, his skin Caucasian and his eyes green. He seemed to stand at a tall 7'2 and was wearing armor around his whole body, a mix of black and blue. He has had a mischievous smirk and his middle son Jörmungandr wrapped around his shoulder.
Jörmungandr turned into a chained whip sword, and Loki flew at Tîlàm. Moving faster than Noir could think, all of a sudden Jörmungandr was wrapped around Tîlàm but Tîlàm roared and the faces followed suit.
Releasing a thick purple miasma but Loki smirked and blew the air. Shape-shifting into a Dragon Crow. The wings and size of a dragon but body of a crow, as Noir watched his eyes started to bleed.
And he bled out, spitting blood.
"I couldn't even get to see the final... Moments wit..."
He coughs blood, his eyes slowly losing any life.
"S-"
Everything went black for Noir.
.
.

As Noir woke up he was a baby, alone in a forest. He was brought back.
.
.
.
.

Noir's tail spiked, and he gasped. Grabbing his head. Clenching his teeth his ears twitched.
"You mean to tell me I've been incarnated over 800 times."
Noir scoffed, and he looked up having a migraine. And that's when he saw it. He saw the gods, all talking and conversing. But some were more rude than... Others.
"What the."
"What is this."
"GUY'S! THIS KID ATE THE FORBIDDEN FRUIT! HAHAHAHA!"
Hermes laughed at Noir, he had curled blonde hair. Red eyes and Caucasian skin with a cocky smirk and lean frame. His footwear reaching to his foot with wings dawned at the end.
Noir was confused, as he watched. He could only see a few gods, first of all where is he?
*Where am I. This is bad.*
His monkey tail swayed back and forth, his ears twitching. But then he turned around and ran away, confused on what's happening.
Hermes teleported to Noir, temporarily jumping out of the 4th dimension into a black and white realm back into the 4th dimension.
And he stood proudly Infront of Noir. His smirk wide as he glared down at Noir. And he teleports Infront of Noir.
"Sorry, but you gotta go."
"What?"
All of a sudden, Noir felt a hole open under him. But not before seeing who banished him. There it was, it was Dakiæ. The Goddess Of Restrictions.
As Noir fell, he felt the wind going against him. Everything temporarily went black, but then went red.
There he was, all he saw was green fire charred walls, the ground was filled with lava and the grass was burnt.
As he turned around, he clenched his teeth. Seething in anger and animosity.
*I'll kill her!... But first I have to get stronger.*
He thought to himself, and he closed his eyes. The heat of the Underworld immense, and he breathed in.
"Let's start this game of Cat & Mouse."
