In a small forest a boy was quietly reading a book on a bench. As his fingers skimmed the lines and his eyes danced as they ran past the words he couldn't help but take a deep breath. He released the warm air stuffed deep in his lungs and looked up and sighed. As the clouds painted the blue skies white and the wind dragged the orange leaves up. The youth tilted his beautiful face down and looked to the right and saw a small house made of mud and clay with braches and leaves all over like acting as a makeshift roof. He bit the bottom of his lip as a spark lit up in his soul. He muttered "Damn it! I'm losing control of myself!" Soon the spark disappeared and the boy seemed to have a headaches and so he shook his head. He said while pouting "Why do I keep having this splitting headaches?" A middle aged woman shouted "Ryuk! Come and eat your lunch!" The boy after massaging his head shouted "Yes Mom!"
Ryuk entered the house and was greeted by the overbearing perfume of meat and garlic. Then with the clicking of feet a little girl appeared in front of Ryuk. "Big bro!" A small girl wearing a loose dress shouted. Ryuk tussled her hair and said "Bai'er what are you doing?" The called Bai'er shook from side to side with a finger on her lips and said in a cute voice "Well brother. You see your dear little sister needs to have friends right? Well... All my friend's are buying this dress, but I cant buy it and mom wont give me money, but no! I shouldn't ask my most awesome brother! I am such a horrid sister! Why does my relationships matter!" Ryuk smiled at the little monster in front of him and took out a few copper coins and handed into her. bai'er smiled wide so wide that her skin showed signs of tearing. She then ran into the deeper corners of the house. A beautiful woman that looked like Ryuk came from another part of the house and said sternly "Ryuk! You shouldn't always bend down for your sister. She will become spoilt girl who just does whatever for money." Ryuk sighed and said softly "Yes mother, but how am I supposed to ignore my cute sister?" Ying Yue sighed and went back to the dark corner. Ryuk similarity took a deep sigh and went into the house.
In the night.
Ryuk was twisting and turning on a small mattress holding his head. A quiet mutter raced through his head "I shall rule over the universe. All beings must die. I am the king of Hell." Ryuk muttered violently "Shut up! Shut up!"
Days went by like a stone in the sea and months disappeared in the endless time. Ryuk was 20 today and he was black faced. Even though it was a day of celebration his birthday he was in a severe depression that he has had most of his life due to nightmares.
Ryuk took a small hood and went out of his house in the direction of a village.
As Ryuk walked he heard the muttering of the greasy and ugly villagers. "Big bro yesterday I fucked this bitch. She was like a dog the way she went down on me!" One skinny man with deep eyes said as he took a blow of a cigarette. "Did you hear about Donald the clerk from the finance center in the town hall. His son took all his money and gave it to a whore to get out of the prostitution ring and she ended up running away with a gigolo." A fat woman said as he slapped the child in her hands who were spinning and twisting. Ryuk showed an ugly expression as he heard these disgusting words. "Yo! Did you see that bitch from that family out of town?" A fat man said to a furry giant. "You mean that girl Bai?" The furry giant replied. The fat man nodded. "The daughter of the whore of the Xin family. She looks too god damn sexy. I really wanna fuck her!" Ryuk paused instantly. His entire body went cold. A giant flame arised from his soul and said "Kill him! How dare he? Slaughter all those who seek to compel you who seek to ruin that which you love!" Ryuks eyes turned black and his pupils gold. Ryuk laughed "Nearly! Come on I nearly broke this nightmare..." Soon a sword appeared in Ryuks hand. Ryuk swung it slicing the man fat mans head. Blood curdling screams filled the ugly village and an evil chuckle erupted out.
Two months later.
In an empty village a small group comprised of 10 people each having red eyes and heavy breaths surrounded a stage where a boy was in handcuffs. A large man wearing a black veil with a large blade resting on the boys neck. The boy was suppressing a laugher as he looked at the villagers. A woman walked up the stage her grey hair rested on her shoulders making her black eyes seem more prominent. Her mouth twitched showing her visible disgust. Following behind her were two women a middle aged woman and a young girl. Their eyes were shaking as they looked at the young man in front of them wondering whether they could recognize him. The woman took out a long parchment and began saying "Dear villagers. In recent days a evil has consumed our Village. This evil is Ryuk. I as the last high profile character in the village is responsible for the removal of this evil. Ryuk what have you to say to those who have departed and those waiting." The old woman said and she looked at Ryuk. Ryuk ignoring this looked towards his mother and sister and said "Hi sis." The girl shook and burrowed deeper into her mothers arms. Ying Yue shouted "You are not my son! You are a monster!" Ryuk laughed and said "Yes. I am not your son. You aren't my mother. My mother is the greatest most tolerant person I know. I know she would trust me even if was really a monster. You are just a shitty makeshift of her visage trying to trick me into feeling disgust and agony towards myself." The girl looked out and shouted "Don't you feel pain!? Regret?! You Evil!" Ryuk looked up and said "Sometimes to keep the beauty in the world we have to show the ugly. My desire is to protect those I love and be with them happily and for this desire I would sacrifice everything, this dream wants me to feel agony from seeing my actions causing those I love to despise me. This dream got the right plot, but looked down on me too much. Is this really all the tower of Babel is capable of. What did you think I'd be angry, I'd break down seeing those I love leave me?" Ryuk took a deep breath and continued "Even if those who I love hate me. I know what I did is the best thing possible. Why? Because I made the choice myself without others trying to manipulate me or seeings other things. This choice was mine completely and so I dont feel regret." The blade fell and the world around Ryuk collapsed...
Back in reality Ryuk was on a large block where two staircases connected one down the other up. Ryuk took a deep breath and said "That was the 20th dream... It was longest and easiest dream yet... Ah I say I dont feel anything, but man seeing their looks of disgust really dosent feel good."
Around Ryuk there were about 200 people all crying and groaning. Many were coiled on the floor muttering something again and again. The royals were probably the only demons who were somewhat alright and this was probably because of the high pressure lifestyle they already lived in as Royals. The red haired princess shouted as she kicked the wall "Why the fuck is the tower of Babel awake!?" The red haired prince held his sister in his arms and said "Hecate calm down. I'm sure no one could have expected it to awaken." The blue haired princess snorted and said "Shut up Paimon! No one could have known? Isn't your mother a truth seeker!? She denounced the tao and allowed that disgusting art of magic into her body! If she can't even do what she sacrificed to do isnt she trash!?" Paimon shouted back "Rán shut up or Ill kill you!" The blue haired prince stepped forward and said "I'd like to see you try." Paimon again shouted "Hmph Abaddon in the palace you might be able to compare to our elder brothers and sisters, but here your on equal ground and your insects wont help." Hecate shouted "Enough! This tower is making us go crazy! In the document it said that not only were the dreams a problem another problem was that everyone was at each other's throats. Lets all calm down. Rán can you use your soul pond technique?" Everyone not only the royals calmed down and began to work together. A demon with a giant head with large dagger like teeth and a small body said "Yeah. Whatever we saw in those dreams are just dreams they dont relate to anything." Another demon who had 10 eyes all over his body said "Yeah we are too emotional. Soul pond will help us analyze everything and break out." Soon a illusionary body of water fell on everyone present. Ryuk was also included.
As the mysterious water touched Ryuk his thoughts calmed down and he became more analytical. One by one demons began to offer praise to the royals. "Lady Rán to think you've been able to refine the mysterious technique soul pond to such a degree. Your understanding of the water law and the soul is incredible. I praise you!" "Lady Hecate due to your exceptional reasoning skills we were able to keep our minds safe. Thank you!"
Ryuk had benefits as well, but more so he was enlightened and interested. All the techniques he had learnt and made although incredible and powerful could never do something so magical. He could spit fire and create harsh winds, but he thought that was all, but now he sees he was naive. "The things I can accomplish seem to keep opening up, but what was that that girl said... "Magic?" Isn't this magic? Isn't breathing fire magic? If not then what is it?" Ryuk shook his head and decided to leave it for when he could get an answer. He began to devise a plan. In his hell Currently there was one soul Rivera. Ryuk used a idea on which infinite thoughts was used and was forming a way to repeat it on hell. Soon Ryuk formed a solution. Ryuk cast infinite thoughts on Hell and a second became a thousand years all of which were positive. Ryuk spat out blood after only 2 days in infinite thoughts. His brain ached unbearably. "It's not possible... or maybe it is, but both Infinite thoughts, hell and myself cant handle that kind of idea." Ryuk looked and found that Rivera's soul was gone it was broken and there was nothing he could do to fix it. Ryuk showed a grim smile and forced his soul sea to absorb the broken pieces. Soon Rivera's soul disappeared not even having a chance to contest against Ryuks soul because of how unstable it was after hell and because Ryuks will was so unbearably firm and unbreakable. "Indeed this world is ugly and beautiful, but I'll just look at the beautiful." Ryuk said as complex thoughts about Rivera's end came to his head.
