The night sky displayed A blood-stained moon shone brightly, bathing the entire world in crimson. Around the world, there appeared to be a 'barrier' that separated it from the cosmos. The 'barrier' had many cracks on its surface, appearing to shatter at the slightest touch in a secluded area of the astral world. A shadow with no discernible features touched the 'barrier', and its form quickly collapsed as it slipped between one of the 'barrier's cracks.
As this was going on, a brilliant and illusory sun appeared behind the crimson moon, causing a bright, dense, and bloody eclipse. The eclipse shot many projectiles as many shadow creatures ran out from its surface, all attacking the world barrier. As this happened, many divine kingdoms appeared, further blocking the cracks and shielding the world. This attack lasted more than two hours before the sun vanished the eclipse diapering as the cosmos fell silent.
Somewhere in the sonia sea on a uninhabited island torches lit the area where a group of 19 or 20 people who wore purple hoods where kneeling on the ground as blood, beyonder characteristics, and corpses of animals, fish, or humans surrounded them. In front of them was an alter that held the corpse of a young man who appeared to be no older than 15 or 16 and wore classic clothing that is normally attributed to the nobility of the loan kingdom with a head of black hair.
The boy had various wounds on his body that revealed the viscous death he had endured. As the people in hoods prayed reverently, an invincible shadow that appeared to be slowly fading entered the boy's body.
Soon, all of the blood, flesh, and beyonder characteristics moved towards the boy's body, where they were quickly absorbed as the body began to convulse and change.
The boy's hair changed, losing its dark shine and gradually becoming pale before turning a mix of purple and blue with white spots resembling a strange distorted starry sky. His nose became more prominent as his eyes, which were now open, changed from iron black to golden. His frain and young body, which held a youthful frame, became more bulkier as his limbs lengthened, tearing his clothes. His skin began to harden as dark red illusory scales appeared over it within them holding mysterious runes.
After a while, the changes stopped and only blood was left scattered on the alter. The young man, now holding a clod and domineering presence, sat up on the bloody alter, his figure covered in blood, and looked at the men who were praying, taking in the view for a few moments before speaking.
"You have all worked very hard over the last few years to bring me back to this world and reclaim my throne; tell me what you desire."
As the young man said this, one of the hooded men spoke with a wavering voice, "My Lord, before we make our wish, may we know who to refer to you in this body we have prepared."
Hearing this, the young man replied flatly, "Arthur."
"Lord Arthur," the individual said, his heart racing, "we want to take over the loan kingdom and make it a place where others can praise and worship you in true reverence."
Hearing this, Arthur was unmoved as he simply played with his long stary hair and looked into the sky as he spoke his voice with no noticeable emotion."You have all been compromised; I assume you have followed my instructions well."
After saying this, Arthur did not pause for a response as he increased the loudness of his words nearly shouting "the mother goddess of depravity was of great help in entering the world barrier since I have arrived it is best to start to reclaim the power i had to give up to enter this world quickly or else even I over time would be corrupted by the great old ones in the cosmos."
After saying this, Arthur looked around to see all of the hooded individuals dead, their bodies transforming into blobs of flesh; it was his intention to kill all of those who assisted in bringing him to earth; despite their caution, they left numerous traces that any angle specializing in divination could easily follow to track him, so it was best to get rid of them now and rebuild this small group rather than having them around to attract passive trouble.
After finishing his business, Arthur stood up from the alter and absorbed the flesh, blood, and beyonder characteristics of all those present. As a result, the runes on his body became more complex and his body became stronger.
After completing this process, Arthur began to activate one of the ruins on his body, after which he entered the spirit world and began to walk, only to stop after a few minutes and return to the real world, reappearing within an alleyway of a city filled with dense fog and pollution.
Backlund
Arthur was very familiar with this location; it was the ideal place for him to grow a group and, ironically, the ideal place to start a cult for anchors, which was apparently the only thing holding him back.
Currantly Arthur could only use the abilities of a bloodline warlock of the finality pathway, which he directly inscribed onto his soul at the level of an angle, allowing him to merge, separate, and change bloodless and add beyonder characteristics to his body as ruins, which weakens its abilities to some extent. Other abilities would only harm Currant Arthur, who needed anchors before beginning to advance along any of his pathways.
Knowing all of this, Arthur willed the runeic scales to vanish, his hair to return to black, and his face to return to normal. After doing so, he picked up a long and sharp nail from the alley, and stabed his hands and legs repeatedly, causing blood to gush out. After doing so, he waited a few minutes before his mind became fuzzy and ran out of the alleyway into the streets, collapsing and drawing the attention of many.
