Bab 2: Prologue (Vol 1) ─ Sword God
Warning: I say this now so you don't complain later; the novel will contain sexual scenes. They will be a bit graphic, but they won't be long unless the entire volume focuses on developing relationships with the protagonist.
There will be a lot of morbidity, but only when necessary.
There will be yuri, that's right, women kissing, and even incest, whether it's between sisters or mother and daughter or ancestor and descendant, but this will happen only in the sexual scenes, after that the subject will be dead out of bed.
The story will be a mixture of slice of life with development and world conquest, you know, overlord, but well written.
Beforehand I warn that the pov will be focused on the second protagonist who will have the whole screen.
The novel will be slow or fast paced chapters as I have several volumes in mind, but they will be interesting and digestible.
In case you are interested to know, this novel went through 4 plot resets and 2 eliminations from the beginning of the story, this being the final one.
I leave you final spoiler this: It will be my first novel where I put Lovecraft's Outer Gods, because I thought about putting them in Razel but I said that wouldn't make sense.
At the end of the volume I will have a special feature called "curiosities" where I will tell you things you might be interested to know about this novel.

________________
I still remember it like it was yesterday.
I was looking at that beautiful starry sky as soon as the sun went down.
The beautiful blue night sky illuminated by the white stars that decorated it like a luxurious dress.
I had no other means of amusement than this. I always tried to touch it with my hands, hoping to know what it felt like to hold a star.
I would stare at it for hours and hours for days.
But right now, those beautiful stars and that night sky I can touch.
Why can I do that?
That's because...
"Damn you!"
Because I am a god.
I, who got the name of [Zelzeus] was once human and now I got godhood.
How did I get it?
That is something unimportant to me.
At this moment I was in that starry sky, I could see the stars and asteroids crossing beside me.
But, it was something insignificant now.
The asteroids are just hot rocks and the stars are just burning dust.
The reason I'm here is because of my goal.
To kill the gods.
Beings that humans worship as entities of superior power, wisdom and goodness.
But how stupid it was to believe that.
Gods are nothing but trash.
Selfish, self-centered people who only take pleasure in having the lives of others pulverized.
Diseases.
Wars.
Famine.
The gods said that these catastrophes were human mistakes, but in reality they were caused by themselves.
They incited all this.
And I was a victim of them, so I did what I did and in the end I became one of them.
Ironic, isn't it?
Well, I am different from them.
Because I am...
"The Sword God."
"You're not a god! You're just a piece of junk that managed to have the ability to resist the [Dimensional Barrier] that's all!"
Dimensional Barrier.
It's the name the gods gave to a phantom gate that separates the world of humans and [Olympus].
The world where the gods live.
And I was destroying it.
I said before that I was in the starry sky, right?
Well, I'm on top of that, in the territory of the god in charge of this universe.
A beautiful crystal castle floating above a magic circle surrounded by clouds.
The castle was so big that it could take up an entire continent.
I managed to reach this place because before I came here I killed a god and stole his [spiritual key].
A divine item with which the [Twelve Primeval Gods] can enter another's land.
But now with what I did they will surely be on the alert.
Anyway, I'll worry about that later.
I was following the trail of blue blood left by the god of this universe.
The idiot was crawling pathetically while insulting me.
"We are the creators of this universe! How dare you mess with your creators?"
"My partners knowing what you did will come to kill you."
I approached him playfully.
"Partners?"
"I'm surprised that such selfish idiots as you know what that word means."
"It's more. I'm sure even if you did you wouldn't do anything. After all, you think that way."
"Not my problem. You deal with it. Or am I wrong?"
I told him that with the most horrible sneering expression I could make.
The god called his guards, the [angels] to defend him.
"Guards! Come help me! I command you!"
"Hey, hey, hey. Are you serious?"
"You gave up that fast already?"
I sighed at how disappointing this was.
Because of the blood running down my feet, I noticed for the first time in a long time my god-like appearance.
My clothes were white cloth wrapped around my entire body, a blue cloak over my shoulders and on my back six huge golden wings.
Long, silky white hair that reached down to the ground.
Beautiful skin as clear as clouds.
A masculine face so beautiful that it would make anyone weep at its beauty.
Like my wings, my eyes were as golden as gold.
This was the appearance worthy of a god.
The appearance that I most believed a perfect and merciful being looked like.
Totally to what my eyes saw.
"No matter how long I looked at it, I could never guess that beings who claimed to be superior entities had such a ridiculous appearance. Or not, dragon?"
My mouth moved in a mocking manner so that the great white 1200 meter dragon that stood with its four wings clipped, its hind and front legs sliced off and a large gash in its belly for its blood to drain out.
It was glaring at me with hatred.
"A mere dragon you say?!"
"We are primeval gods! We are those who gave life to all that you once saw!"
The dragon who called himself a god continued to talk trash.
I ignored him as I remembered how he looked like an idiot for thinking dragons were majestic beings.
"It's really quite funny this. Anyway, I'm bored already."
I materialized my weapon, the god-killing sword [Ixion].
A beautiful white sword with golden aura manifested in my right hand.
I approached it slowly so that the idiot god would feel fear and helplessness before I killed him.
"Y-You wretch, do you really know what you are doing? I am the great god of war, Renxandt-sama!"
"Killing me will only make the world's wars happen by nonsense since I'm the one in charge of preventing them!"
"If you let me live, I'll make sure your world never has a war ever again─"
"It's pathetic how you spout so much shit together, die already."
I told him with a cold voice and with my sword I slit his throat.
"Puah!"
"Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
Pathetically he writhed on the ground.
"You... you don't know what you've done..."
"Of course I do." I replied as I raised my sword again.
"You are the fourth god I will kill." And I stabbed it into his head so that he would die definitively.
After ending his life, the space around me began to collapse and the stars exploded in a beautiful show of chaos.
As a god is responsible for several worlds, unfortunately many worlds are perishing right now.
But, I don't care about that.
Since...
"My desire to kill the gods outweighs any life that has ever existed or will ever exist."
I don't care how many die.
I don't care how many hate me.
I am the Sword God.
I will use the power of god to kill another god.
After killing Renxandt, I went to focus on his throne.
A god doesn't get tired, but I've been fighting for who knows how long and I want to rest for a while.
As I sat down I thought.
(Isn't this a bit boring?)
(It is true that my aim is to kill all the gods. But after becoming one, I feel that if it wasn't my strong desire to slaughter them, right now I would be the same as an empty but beautiful vase.)
(I already forgot the last time I enjoyed this starry sky. But right now it's just a pile of waste [ether] better known as the source of life.)
(I'm bored... really bored.)
A god shouldn't be bored, but these guys were causing chaos and death by boredom was what I discovered from the previous god [Magnostadt].
(It's really annoying this feeling of boredom. I have felt it for some time and it really bothers me as much as a stone in my shoe.)
What should I do with this annoying feeling?
Wait a moment.
I touched my chin after remembering something about the previous god I killed.
(That guy when I hunted him down, he used [divine magic] and created several copies of himself in order to escape.)
(How I killed him and absorbed his essence, I should do the same shouldn't I?)
I decided to test it and opened a [space-time room]. A place in another dimension where we can store whatever we want.
After opening it I took out a certain item that caused many wars in the past.
It was called the [holy grail] and they used it as decoration.
I placed the cup in the middle of a magic circle, I stretched out my hand as this made that guy.
Using my sword I cut my hand and it fell into the cup, the blue blood which was ether fell until it overflowed the rim, I used [panacea] a miracle medicine that heals any wound and disease.
Why didn't they give it to humans?
Because they were not interested in doing so.
After my flesh, my bone and my blood that had the essence of life mixed together, a small whirlwind formed and something similar to a bluish-white cloud came out.
It reminded me of slimes, it was small and it was shaking a lot.
I spoke to it as if it were a child.
"I am Zelzeus and I am your creator. I am known as the Sword God."
The little creature trembled at the sight of me.
Am I so terrifying?
I stroked it as a sign to show it that I will not harm it.
"Don't worry. I am your creator and I will not harm you. Umm..."
I remembered something important.
"What name should I give you?"
A name is an entity that will mark your future.
What name would be good for my first creation?
I could spend centuries and eons thinking about it, but I didn't want to waste time.
I gave him a name I remembered thanks to an exploding star.
"Regulus."
"Your name shall be his name, Regulus."
"That's a good name isn't it?"
The little creature─ Regulus nodded wiggling his body.
It made me feel something I didn't remember, laughing.
"You are a very special little guy. Now my creation, I will give you this mission."
I won't tell him I'm bored. It would be very offensive for a creation to know that its creator did it out of boredom.
I will lie to him a little, I am a god and lying is in my blood.
"I created you out of the need to spread my wisdom and desire. May the name of the Sword God travel the universe, but you will start in one world first."
"You may do what you will, do what you will. I will give you this gift."
Using another item in the room I took out an item called the [Spear of Destiny]. This spear has the ability to transfer whatever you want to an object.
I will use it to send some of my power to it, only 5% will suffice along with some of my feelings when I was human.
My reason for creating him was simple. For this boy to explore the world and conquer it, when he dies of old age, he will come back to me and I will be able to observe all that he lived through.
For him to live in a neat way would be very boring, so let's make him a bit negative.
I will give him the worst of me.
Arrogance.
Idiocy.
Greed.
Among other insignificant little details and the one I've never used in my life.
Sexual desire.
All that I never used and now is a good opportunity to use it.
After thrusting the spear into my head and pulling those emotions out, I inserted them into Regulus.
"I just gave you my gifts. With this you will be able to use a small part of my power."
"Live as you wish, do as you wish."
"For when you die, you will become one with me again and I will see what you lived through."
I got up and walked to the edge of the palace.
There I looked for a distant world unaffected by murdering a god.
"That one over there."
I took Regulus and before I sent him off I said my last words to him.
"I am your creator remember that well. You are made in my image and likeness, therefore, you too are a Sword God."
"The knowledge I will give you you will use to spread the glory of Zelzeus. Farewell Regulus, we shall meet again."
With a light puff I send him straight to the distant planet, where he will become ether and enter a human body.
He will gain knowledge almost immediately as he will merge with the human he possesses.
"Well, I guess I'll go to the next god."
"We won't allow it."
An explosion went off behind me and if it wasn't for my wings serving as a shield, I could have died.
I stood up on some stars and looked at my attackers.
"You took too long to come, angels."
Hideous figures with eyes and wings were staring at me.
"Dark God. The sin of having killed our creator and the worlds he administered are unforgivable."
"We angels will eliminate you so that you will not attack the other gods."
I burst out laughing a little.
"You will eliminate?"
I looked at them with murderous intent.
"Don't make me laugh. The [Ragnarok] started when you betrayed me and now you will all die for it."
"Kill him!"
"Come for me!"
I began to fight who knows how long against the angels and in the end I would end up winning it was expected.
How are you doing, Regulus?
I'm looking forward to it.
