Title: **Darkness: road to divine** As a Dark Warrior, I have traversed the ravaged expanse of a world in turmoil, guided by the whispers of the wind and the thrum of the obsidian dagger. My journey is a testament to the existential struggle between the dichotomous forces of power and control, as I navigate the labyrinthine complexities of allegiance and deception. This treatise delves into the fantastical realm of shadow magic, exploring the symbiotic relationship between the artifact and its wielder. Through a narrative of self-discovery and ancient lore, I unravel the mysteries of the god-beast's essence and the residual magic that permeates the shattered landscape. Theoretical frameworks of artifact manipulation, forgotten magic, and the consequences of wielding unbridled power are juxtaposed with the pragmatism of survival in a world torn asunder. The intersections of fate and free will are examined, as I confront the nuances of trust and suspicion in the face of an enigmatic ally, Lyra. This abstract serves as a portal to a realm of uncharted possibilities, where the boundaries of destiny are pushed and the fabric of reality is reshaped. As the Dark Warrior 'solace', I invite you to embark on a perilous odyssey, where the shadows themselves become a canvas for the unfolding drama of power, choice, and the unwritten future. **Keywords:** Dark Warrior, Shadow Magic, Artifact, Power Dynamics, Destiny, Allegiance, Deception, Ancient Lore, Forgotten Magic.

"The wolf has three shadows — one to hunt, staining the earth with blood; one to lead, carrying the weight of a broken crown; and one to howl, whose madness will reshape the fate of the wild." Lukas, a brave teenager, dies sacrificing himself to protect others. A powerful deity grants him a second chance, reincarnating him as a nine-year-old noble who mysteriously fell into a coma a year ago. Haunted by the boy’s final memories of betrayal and a desperate plea to protect his elder sister, Lukas vows to avenge him and safeguard their family. Gifted with the rare ability to split himself into three identical beings, Lukas initially shares the same thoughts and emotions across all forms. But as they face different challenges, their experiences begin to shape them—splitting their personalities in ways Lukas never anticipated. One grows colder, one more cunning, while Lukas himself struggles to hold on to his humanity. As he uncovers hidden truths, Lukas realizes his rebirth is part of a greater design—one tied to ancient conspiracies, warring factions, and forgotten prophecies. The deeper he digs, the more he becomes a pawn in a game played by powerful figures beyond mortal understanding. Now burdened by both past and present, Lukas must navigate a dangerous path where revenge, honor, and destiny collide—knowing that even his fractured self may not be enough to survive what’s to come.

Running the Divine Convenience Store; a celestial store catering to the needs of immortals, cultivators, and mortals alike. Excerpts from Customer Reviews: Yu Qingyan – Emissary of the Verdant Sky Pavilion "I never thought I’d find myself browsing a convenience store like a mortal, but here I am. The Spicy Taihao Noodles lured me but it's the Heavenly Dew Soda that made stay—it’s like drinking liquid enlightenment. Five stars!" --- Zhou Rui – Crimson Vale Sect Disciple "Highly recommended! All of their products are divine and the Shopkeeper saved my life! now it's my life's goal to spread the word of the store! --- Liu Xiaoyu – Store Assistant (and Self-Proclaimed Prodigy) "Working here is like being in the heart of a divine revolution! Every day, I get to introduce customers to life-changing products. And the best part? I get first dibs on everything. Boss Lin might be a sly merchant, but he knows how to run a store. 10/10 would recommend!" --- Luhan – Former Poison Demon Cult Spy (Now Loyal Customer) "I was sent to spy on the store, but I ended up becoming a regular. The Frosty Lotus Brew is the only thing that calms my nerves after a long day of… well, you know!" --- Wei Xian – City Lord of Fanling "The Divine Convenience Store has transformed our city. Our guards are stronger, our cultivators are more confident, and even the mortals are thriving. The store’s influence is undeniable. If you haven’t visited yet, you’re missing out. A true gem in our region!" --- Taihao – Head of the Divine Pantheon (and Proud Backer) "I brought the concept of a convenience store to the cultivation world, but Lin Mo has taken it to a whole new level. The store is a testament to what happens when divine ingenuity meets mortal creativity. I couldn’t be prouder. Now, if only he’d stock more of my Spicy Noodles…"

The world was instantly plunged into an apocalyptic era, overrun by zombies and mutated beasts, with humanity struggling desperately to survive. In this nightmare, Yue Zhong fought tooth and nail for mere survival. When he and his team finally reclaimed the nation after enduring countless trials against the undead and monstrous creatures, he made a chilling discovery - this was only the first trial he had overcome. A series of hostile worlds awaited him: radioactive wastelands seething with mutated humans and radiation-twisted beasts, where supplies were cruelly scarce; primeval realms dominated by intelligent dinosaurian overlords; and nightmarish dimensions where beastmen possessing tenfold human strength ruled supreme. These genetically superior overlords boasted racial abilities beyond comprehension - skin impervious to bullets, physical prowess dwarfing mankind's - all enforcing brutal enslavement of human populations. In each universe where humanity became the oppressed species, Yue Zhong evolved through relentless struggle, forging his path through the evolutionary crucible of annihilation.

When there were strange signs in the sky, there must be demons lurking. Li Mo, who had studied antiques since he was young, had a strange change in his eyes after being struck by lightning. With a pair of divine eyes, he gained the ability to see through things and sense objects. He bought a gourd bottle for 500 yuan at a flea market and sold it for 230,000 yuan. A painting he casually bought turned out to be a genuine work by Xu Beihong, worth thirty to forty million yuan. The black double-eared bottle that came with the purchase of a set of gold jewelry turned out to be a genuine possession of the Ming imperial family. Ancient bronze ware, exquisitely crafted porcelain, calligraphy and painting with bold and vigorous strokes, and thrilling gambling stones came one after another. From then on, Li Mo's life underwent a revolutionary change. "I have divine eyes, and there are no treasures in the world that can escape my sight."

Valcroy and Erik had been thrust into a journey neither had asked for, but both had been forced to endure. What began as a desperate escape from the Frostborne household unraveled into a quest that crossed realms and defied comprehension.

This is an exploration of God’s autonomous perspective on why it is he made the conscious decision to make light first specifically, as well as the relationship we can decode that he yearns to have with us and we should have visa versa whether mutual or not through reverse engineering his honest decisions, even if there is the possibility to have the honest decision to lie, but regardless of the consequences of God having His own free will just as we have been given by Him, we need to know the reality of the situation, not just judge possibilities. As for where that ability to judge comes from, even in the case of God being the personification the ability to judge and taking the rule of ultimate judge as a result, these perceptions are only possible if part of consciousness itself, which we can safely assume is one of the main building blocks of God in some sort of way to put it bluntly (I’m not going to bother with semantics and considerations, I’m not a politician nor a debater, I just want to be efficient in my explorations), so God too must also follow the rules of objective morality/Grace, as for the potential of any consciousness being Holy or Unholy, which is what we would categorise being the on the side of a benevolent God or Satan which counts as an Anti-God. A quote from Socrates has stuck with me not because I dogmatically assert it to be true, but it is the closest description of the truth of the situation for what right question to ask: “What came first, God or morality?”, and that is why I am trying to figure out that our hope for a benevolent God would be good and the salvation of the human heart through faith to conduct our view of existence in the diagnosis of reality from the perspective that God is benevolent is a net positive, it’s still not the same as a proven truth. You could argue that truth for the sake of truth doesn’t matter if ultimately our experience of life is better with faith in our hopes being the reality, but if it isn’t the reality, there is more than just spiritual freedom that needs to be accounted for, but also physical freedom. If your heart is in the right place but YOU aren’t where you actually want to be, then hope that the potential future is out there somewhere is worth striving for and make happen, rather than convince yourself that it’s already here when it ISN’T. So, let’s get to exploring, and understand more about existence as a whole along the way, treating religion like a science AS WELL. [I miss someone I haven’t even met yet, and I want to chase this feeling in a real way without just contemplation forever, but for now, let’s figure out what direction to go in.] PS, whatever the name you give God, in the end God is God, so if I say anything that you disagree with within the doctrine of your religion, please understand that what I care about more than even God himself is Morality. Let’s not lose ourselves with the dogmas of ‘necessary evil’, because if God is benevolent as we all hope to be the case, He would never rely on the such tactics through people, the God I worship is the benevolent potential, regardless of if the real one always with His freewill as consciousness itself can also choose to do things unfairly, for the ultimate judge is not one who monopolises The Word of objective morality among other things, but by being subservient/humble to it. This is at least why Christ said “I do not care if you blaspheme against me or The Father, so long as you don’t Blaspheme against The Holy Spirit. That is the only sin that is unforgivable.” (I’m paraphrasing, so do your own research, and like I said, try to do your best to look at this through the lens of a devoid of intentions, even if the origin of these intentions are educated illegedly by the written Word in any physical representation of the fulfilled potential in the material world of that spirit being personified, printed in a book, captured in art but logically associated… Remember, the church is within.)

A war among the gods. A dungeon that should not exist. A boy chosen by fate—or perhaps something far more sinister. When Daniel Armstrong awakens in the abyss, armed with only a sword of legend and a system whispering promises of divinity, he soon realizes escape is not an option. To ascend, he must conquer. To survive, he must evolve. And lurking within the shadows of the dungeon is a voice—ancient, powerful, and watching his every move. Is he a pawn, a savior, or something beyond even the gods? The deeper he goes, the closer he gets to the truth. But some truths were never meant to be uncovered.
