It was dark in this spaceship, other than the occasion sparks of electricity from the destroyed navigation panels. With the ships power source damaged, there was no light being generated in this endless void. The distant light of stars did nothing to illuminate the scene, resulting in only a pretty backdrop if one looked through a window.

In a dark room of mystical design, a powerful looking muscular man stood above five cowering enemies. The five warriors were all surrounded by cosmic lights powered by the formation they were in. The muscular man was tall and gorgeous with two dragon horns curving up on his head like a diamond-studded celestial crown. They seemed to be made of platinum with the way they shined with such little light. On his forehead shined a bright and imposing ethereal eye tattoo that emit a special pressure. This man was no supermodel, or actor on the latest broadcast drama. It was none other than me, Shreya Endless.

Savage azure winds were barreling into the five people in formation, but they did not affect me at all.

“It is useless, Eternal Endless,” shout a blonde haired man at head of the formation frantically. His eyes bulging and his expression, like all of his companions, was crazed. “No matter what you you do, you will still die today!”

“You have succeeded, Lucious Vanity. Today, I will indeed die,”I spoke in a powerful and majestic voice that cowed my foes even more.

Lucious Vanity and his cohorts also looked stunned by what their opponent had just said. However, before anyone could process it, I opened my mouth again, “This time you won. However, the next time this fated day arrives, I will most certainly be screwing Vanessa along with your wife, Veronica. You will already be long gone. This is a promise I make to you.”

Silence. Confusion and utter silence. What did those words even mean? Suddenly, the man named Lucious seemed to remember something critical. His complexion paled and his expression turned savage and severe.

“YOU SON OF A BITCH! KILL HIM, KILL HIM NOW!” the formation lights grew extremely chaotic and the strain on all five people increased tenfold as the man called Lucious Vanity almost lost his mind completely, until his wife Veronica at his left grabbed his hand and said, “Lucious, I told you. I will never embrace him again. It’s okay, it's over. We did it not for love, and only for strength. He means nothing to me.”

Lucious looked at his wife as a mesh of complicated feelings swam in his eyes. However, right as he regained his calm, my voice rang out once more.

“Yes, the you of right now will never embrace me again. However, do not pretend it is because you have chosen this path. I disdain to look at you after what has befallen Vanessa. Would I even touch you? Well yes, I would. Do not forget you begged for more as you swallowed me last night. The current you is already unworthy, Veronica. You are all dirty abyssals to the very core, all right. You are right, last night was for power. My power. What of the other dozen times? Were those only for power? Did you grow very powerful? I swear, it is only Vanessa’s existence prevents me from dedicating my past life to obliterating your entire race.”

“What the fuck is this nonsense your spouting? Shut up, you shit! Nothing can stop you from dying today,” Lucas Vanity snapped, the formation lights suddenly forming 10 supreme eternal swords, each one radiating a sharpness that could sever a black hole into two halves. Lucious Vanity spanked his wife’s ass, and spread his arms wide while laughing like a madman, “Keep speaking nonsense in the field of reeds, you arrogant fuck!”

“Such pathetic circumstances. This is my utterly embarrassing and self-inflicted end. This end of mine was brought upon by feral lust, and indecisive inaction. My lack of ability to act on my desires unless I lose control is at fault. My incorrigible habit of letting destiny take its course is to blame.

"No more." My next words carried a mysterious charm that seem to existence outside of time itself. The five enemies in front of me were horrified when they sensed the fluctuations in the room.
The tattoo on my forehead emit a dazzling and terrifying glow as I whispered a spell in my heart.

I do not wish for our legacy, our glory, a glory that I never knew to appreciate before Vanessa… I cannot let it end.

Become what I could not.

Do what I did not dare to do.

Love who I did not dare to love.

Never cower behind your powers, hiding them from the world.

Never allow another man to take what is yours.

Most importantly… never give up on your friends.

Blaze brightly and burn down anyone who tries to stop your shine!

That is the true way of the star child!

Do not seek the Endless Moon.

It is shrouded in Infinite Darkness.

Only seek the brightest light.

The true Eternal Sun! Twilight Luck!

"This gift of Seer’s Vision is the only thing I can offer you," to the five enemies in front, I appeared to be communicating with someone, but they could no longer sense even vibrations traveling around me. I ignored everything and finished my words, "With it, I have tied my destiny with your own. As your strengths grows, you will know my story. My mistakes. My glory. No matter what you choose to do, you will always have a way to survive and reach this step. I sacrefice ten lives of karma to surrender this to you. I believe you will not be in my same position once you reach this fated day. This ability is a curse for them, but my gift to you. Use it well. May this entire world join me in hell. May your world live forever more. Eternal Luck.”

“He’s fucking lost it.”

“Let’s end it now, Lucious!”

“Fine,” For a reason he could not comprehend, Lucious Vanity felt incredibly unnerved by Shreya Endless’ seemingly insane ramblings to no one at all.

Lucious spread his arms and poured all of his power into the formation, and the ten supreme eternal swords all pierced forward with a might that shattered the cosmos, completely fracturing the already collapsing enormous ship they were in. The shockwaves continued to destroy everything around it. However, half a second before they swords impacted, time seemed to halt for everyone but Lucious Vanity, the only person present who was near the same strength as me.

“If I can escape the soul eater's grasp and reach the field of reeds, then this story will be replaced by yours. You and I are one, so listen to me for a bit. Our father loved us. Loves us. Please… try to love him too. Do it as early as you can. We needed him, but I chose to let him go. Do not bow your head to anyone under the heavens other than our parents and our women. No one is worthy. Fight for your own beliefs. This was our dao before my cowardice. In my opinion, this is your true path.” After speaking these impassioned and heartfelt words, the Eye of Horus on my forehead released a blinding light that formed a wondrous connection with something outside of spacetime. A beam of energy escaped my forehead and entered the void. As I felt my consciousness traveling through a tunnel of time, I turn and lift my hand. In my hand was a controller with a single trigger. I pulled the trigger and an explosion so massive that it threatened to burn even the sun alive ravaged everything in my sight, before all went to black.

I awaked to darkness once again. However, something was different now. I couldn't feel...anything. However, I remained aware.

"Is this...death?" I enhanced my awareness through my outstanding willpower and managed to open my eyes.

I say eyes, but I no longer possessed a physical body. I was a mere soul form, nothing left tying me down to the real world. However, my soul seemed to be growing in strength and also getting gently but constantly pulled. It was like a rope was tied around my waist, and I could be dragged to the other end of it as long as I allowed myself.

My spell worked.

In front of me was an endless expanse of darkness. There was nothing as far as the eyes could see. But I felt some kind of holy and indomitable aura coming from...behind me? I turned around only to see an enormous scale. This wasn't like the rhomboid scales that hid within my body, no, this was an actual scale one used to compare the weight of things.

"The Apostle Scale of Duality," I marveled at the holy aura that filled the area the moment I laid eyes on the scale. What was once a world of darkness became a world of blinding white light.

"Young divinity, your time has come. Our world my yet see your return one day. Why do you fight death? It is time to weigh your sins and move on." an all-encompasing and extremely deep voice shook the surroundings, but also seemed to pierce straight into my heart, distorting my resolve.

I grit my teeth and stubbornly resolved my heart.

"Weigh my sins... Mwahaha, against what, pray tell? My heart? My heart has already died long ago! My sin is my eternal weapon of war and redemption! The world I knew was foul! The life we live is for the benefit of another! I will change this! No one can stop me!" as I yelled a magic formation actually came to life under my translucent feet. My soul form seem to become almost physical at its appearance and power flooded my heart. The golden aura of the formation caused the entire world to quake!

"YOU DARE!?" the voice bellowed in rage. "Stand down no! The forbidden spell you are using could cause our entire universe to crumble into pieces! Are you mad? Are you daft?"

I didn't repsond with words. The magic circle under my feet simply started transforming and expanding.

"SOUL EATER!" The voice screamed in fury. "AWAKEN FROM THE DARK DEPTHS AND DEVOUR THIS FOUL SOUL INTO THE CHEST OF DEATH!"

A mighty golden dragon bone spear manifested itself in my palm as a giant serpent rose from the darkness. Its collasal body seemed to stretch for kilometers. This was the fabled bringer of death and reincarnation, the bane of the wicked soul whose belly was the entrance to purgatory.

The Soul Eater.

To return.

To renew.

To undue that tragedy.

I had to face this soul eater in single combat in this land of souls.

And I had to win...
