Man of eterna
the world was cracked and desolated, mountains dotting the landscape like a parasite, and the center of the circle of mountains was a cyclops with a dangerously heavy eating disorder, and what he was fighting was not making it easy for him.
Sprinting at an inhuman speed the god of insanity and his siblings of reincarnation were fighting for a reclamation, the item of reclamation of memories, an object used by whoever created amnesia to undo any damage to whoever suffered the condition, and that object was what would finally help the God of insanity regain his humanity completely, all that stood between his memories and his restoration was the fat slob of a demon.
who had eaten it.
but that made the God of insanity even more willing to gut the stupid demon open to get it, even with a good amount of his humanity restored the god would still give in to his bloodlust.
"Aeron, Wakai, keep him occupied, Terragon, keep the earth moving below his feet" an aquatic toned voice yelled from above the god of Insanity, making red and blue eyes look up to see a being of water and ice leaping over a cravass, letting out a laugh of blood lust the god of insanity jumped up with a Battleaxe made of bone appearing in his hands, seeing the cyclops turn its head it looked in fear as the last thing it saw was an axe slicing its face.
landing roughly the Gods of reincarnation stood around the corpse of the giant cyclops, the god of Insanity yanking the axe out before gutting its stomach, ripping flesh and bone away the man came upon a large key like stone, reaching down with both arms the god lifted the human sized key calmly.
"We got it!"
"Well done Zecromac" the woman of the gods said with a small clap, smiling brightly the giant of stone kneeled down, lowering his right hand for the others to step onto his hand, running to the given transport with the key of memories the gods were allowed to relax as the stone giant of a god walked away, opening a portal he stepped through.
entering Olympus, Terragon and the rest of the gods of reincarnation sighed in relief, all except one.
sitting in silence Zecromac, god of Insanity held the key before him, seemingly weightless he looked around the haven of gods with a look of longing, placing the key down he sighed while rubbing his eyes, a motion his siblings noticed with worry.
"Are you alright, Brother?" a strong caring voice of a man made Zecromac look up to see the samurai of the group, even seeing his fiery hair Zecromac felt his comfort return, showing his grin half heartedly he nodded.
"I'm fine, Fuyu, thanks" the man said before standing up, just as Terragon lowered his hand for the siblings to jump off, allowing him to return to his original size, and yet the tower of stone was still tallest of the siblings, walking with them they entered into a court room, Zecromac holding the key on his shoulders the others bowed in respect to the king of gods before them, Zeus.
bowing last Zecromac walked forward with the key held out to Zeus, who kneeled down to retrieve it, being the size of a house does that to a god, especially when angels got tired of flying up to them to speak.
"You have done well, all of you, with this piece, you will be one step closer to becoming whole Zecromac, and i may finally take you by your real name" Zeus said with Zecromac giving a bow of respect, stepping back Zeus held the key to his gaze.
"You may leave for the time being, when the key is use able, I will send someone for you, Zecromac"
"Thank you, your majesty" the god said before leaving the court, followed by his siblings.
walking into a portal to his living quarters of Olympus, Zecromac stood before a wall, which happened to be known as the wall of stories, showing the achievements of great mortals who fought for honor, heroics... and self sacrifice, to Zecromac, this wall was an enigma, because it was his mortal life before reincarnation.
stepping back he sat on a modern era sofa, letting out a sigh he laid his back on the sofa, staring up into his ceiling Zecromac stared for a goood few minutes before letting out a groan of boredom, sitting up he sighed.
"Great, now I'm bored"
Zecromac muttered before closing his eyes, followed by instant snores.
in the world of Remnant
A small boy with grey hair sat within a sandpit with an older woman, who was helping him build a castle of sand, humming happily the boy picked up a plastic shovel before jumping at the sudden snore behind him, turning he was expecting a person, instead he saw no one.
"Cubid, are you alright?" the boy turned to the woman who stared at him in worry.
"I thought i heard someone snoring?" the boy said with a small voice, frowning in worry as the snores returned, this time sounding like they were in front of him, turning to the woman she looked around for anyone.
"Come on, let's get home, we can relax there" the woman said with a caring voice, holding her hand out the boy held her hand calmly, showing a smile that made the woman smile back, leaving the sand pit.
not evening knowing what now lingered within Remnant.
the minute Zecromac snorted himself awake, he opened his eyes calmly, expecting the ceiling he instead stared at a... grey sky with blood red trees.
Sitting up in an instant Zecromac had a frown, looking at the oddly coloured trees he stood up.
"Where the hell am i?" the god questioned calmly while walking around, seeing a sandbox in a park, making him walk forward to see the buildings set in medieval styled era, mixed with a modern era.
frowning Zecromac set out to explore the town in silence, seeing the starting signs of technology, which made his mind wander before seeing a strange sight...
'Any Otaku would so date a cat girl' Zecromac thought the instant he saw a woman standing at a food stand, which told him he was within the food market, walking around once more Zecromac stopped. regaining himself he looked up at the sound of a siren, which was followed by hastened panic, making Zecromac watch men, women and children running to whatever shelter they could find, leaving Zecromac in the open street before, on instinct, his right hand shot up and caught an arrow, turning in the direction the arrow came from, his eyes took a glint of bloodlust.
watching what could be described as an army approached.
dropping the arrow he let out a snarl fit for a lion.
flicking his wrists his hands held two dual sickles with serated blades, seeing the army approaching Zecromac let out a laugh of blood lust as he sprinted towards the army, startling those at the front as he leaped into the air, landing with his sickles ripping into a soldiers head.
followed by him feeling himself impaled from behind, making him look down before spinning around to round house kick the poor man who stared in horror as Zecromac tore the halberd from his chest, flipping it in his grip he looked back to the man who impaled him with cruel glee.
"Let's see you walk it off, HAHAHAHA!"
On that day forth, Zecromac lived within the unknown world for centuries, upon finding out a war was on, he simply shrugged and fought against both sides, giving a name for himself, due to eye witnesses and rumors, he was named after the bubonic plague.
The Black death, among others, when the war ended, he was present at the ceremony being held by the military leaders, standing among the mortals he lived on, watching the technology advance beyond earths.
but at the current present time, Zecromac was casually walking through a forest, following a path he wore a cloak over his clothes, looking forward Zecromac stopped dead in his tracks at seeing the current village in front of him burning slightly, running forward he saw few bandits scavenging for more loot, reaching into his coat, Zecromac snarled as he threw three knives, all hitting the necks of the bandits, pulling out six knives he went to see if any villagers survived, stalking around the village Zecromac perked up at hearing a childs cry... followed by a man's evil cackle, scowling Zecromac rushed to the source, seeing a man looming over a child he could see the little girl struggling under the man's weight, snarling Zecromac charged forward.
upon hearing running coming towards him the would be rapist looked up with a gun aimed at Zecromac, aiming at the gods head he fired once, making his eyes widen as the bullet hit Zecromac's head, only the god kept running and tackled the bandit through a wall, making the bandit struggle he gagged as Zecromac's knives punctured the man's chest and throat, three in each part, releasing the knives the bandit went to reach for Zecromac, only for the god to smack his hands away, turning away he went to the hole which the two made, ducking through Zecromac's eyes softened at the sight of the sobbing child, making him frown at her oddly coloured hair.
reminding him of the ice cream Neopolitan, due to her hair being half pink, half brown with a streak of white in the middle, kneeling down Zecromac held the child in his arms protectively, walking out of the half destroyed building Zecromac took notice to two corpses at the side of the building, one female... and another male, seeing the faint characteristics the child had Zecromac held her firmly, looking around the village once more Zecromac flinched at hearing a distant howl of a Beowolf, snarling he looked down to the child before sprinting away from the Village.
"What's your name, kid?" Zecromac questioned after gaining enough distance from the village, moving at a walking pace, making the girl look up to him with a sniffle.
"Neo... Neopolitan" the girl said with Zecromac nodding, cracking his neck his human lips melted onto his face.
"I'll take care of you for now on"
years later
a now teenaged Neo sat on top of a building in silence, her eyes scanning those walking on the sidewalk her eyes caught the sight of her adopted father Zecromac looking up to her, waving to her he gestured to follow him, smiling she dropped down to the street and ran after her adopted parent, walking beside him she fixed her small hoodie, smiling happily she spoke while skipping ahead of the god, who smiled normally.
"So, whose our target this time?"
"Neo, you remember, bounty hunting is our night job, Grimm hunting is our day job, and as far as i remember, you were still being trained for the night jobs... by me" the god said with the girl narrowing her eyes with a pout, watching her father walk onward before stopping, turning to her with a look of innocence.
"Well, do you want to train there or skip it today?" the second he said those last words Neo was walking ahead of him, making him look with a raised eyebrow before smiling, walking after his adopted daughter in silence, lifting her up he placed her on his shoulders, making her cross her arms with a pout.
an hour later
Zecromac walked along a path to a bounty board, the location of the bounty collectors, walking to the man running the bounty registration Zecromac spoke.
"Any bounties nearby?"
"Sorry to tell you this but, someone's been looking for you"
"Really... Who!?" Neo questioned with Zecromac gaining a look of thought
"They're not here for a bounty, they were asking around for you, said somethin' about needing help or somethin" the man said with Zecromac staring into his eyes, his eyes glowing as he stared through his memories of the encounter, seeing four huntsmen and Huntresses, two male, two female, examining their features he stopped at the face of one, blinking his eyes the woman's face was stuck in his thoughts.
"Thanks old timer" Zecromac said while walking away, leaving Neo who stared at his back before running after him, walking beside the man she saw as a father Neo stepped in front of him, effectively making him stop.
"Okay, I know when you're looking into someone's memories, so out with it... what did you see?"
"Beauty" Zecromac said in a daze before physically smacking himself, making him blink.
"Okay, that felt weird" Zecromac said with Neo tilting her head with a frown.
"You know whose looking for you?"
"Yeah, Greenhorns from Beacon, team STRQ" Zecromac said before walking back towards town, not noticing a pair of red eyes staring at him from a bush.
"So, are we heading back to the house or the nearby hideout?" Neo questioned with Zecromac frowning in thought, rubbing his chin he bumped into someone, who let out a yelp as she fell backwards... if not for Zecromac catching her wrist calmly, helping the woman to her feet he spoke.
"Sorry" the god said before walking onward, leaving behind the woman who wore a White Cloak, looking after Zecromac her cheeks were flustered with a shy smile.
"Did you plant the tracker" a male voice questioned with the woman turning to her teammate.
"Yes"
"Than let's follow the signal"
upon opening a door to a building, Zecromac unsummoned his coat, leaving him in a skin tight leather singlet, Black cargo pants with faint blood stains with a pair of boots, his hands adorning leather fingerless gloves, walking forward while rubbing his neck Neo walked to a couch facing a large TV hanging on a wall, turning it on her eyes watched the news report come up.
"Let's see what's happening in Vacuo this year" Zecromac groaned out in satisfaction at cracking his neck for kinks, sitting beside his adopted daughter they watched a report of a Faunus equality protest, making Zecromac's gaze soften.
"It's just not right, Faunus are as human as we are" Neo said with her arms crossed, a angry look to the television showing humans cheering for the leaving Faunus, one having something thrown at them, clenching his fists Zecromac let out a tired sigh, switching the channel he left Neo to watch her shows, making her worry for her adopted father she saw him moving to the door.
"Where are you going?" Neo questioned worriedly with Zecromac stopping, turning to her he smiled reassuringly.
"A walk, I'll be home for dinner so don't worry" the god said with the girl nodding, letting him leave she sunk into the couch with a sigh.
with Zecromac, he was doing something other than walking, already knowing he was being followed he held the tracker in his right hand he left the safety of the cover of civillians, stopping his eyes scanned his surroundings before leaping over a building, startling those nearby he left behind the two members of STRQ, staring at the distant speck of Zecromac the blonde male of the team held up a scroll, showing a sattalite view of Zecromac's location.
"Summer, He's leaving the city!"
"I'm on it!" the woman said before grabbing his shoulder and vanished with rose petals in their place.
landing in a clearing Zecromac kneeled down with his right eye glowing, followed by his lips vanishing, leaving his mouth a skeletal grin, looking around he turned to face the city walls of Vacuo, standing very far he turned to see the desert in the distance, rolling his shoulders Zecromac's ears caught the slight sound of wind behind him, turning he saw... the woman from before, making him blink as she released the male in her grip, who fell to his knee's panting, making her chuckle nervously while trying to soothe his misery.
"Alright, You have my attention... what do you want?" Zecromac questioned with his eyes glowing.
"We just want to talk" the woman said with Zecromac staring into her eyes, seeing through her memories he saw the Headmaster of Beacon standing before them with the current Military leader of Atlas, seeing the truth he relaxed slightly, blinking he spoke once more.
"Speak then" the god said with his arms crossed, this time the male spoke.
"Our colleague is part of a group that wants to preserve powerful beings, keep them safe"
"Such like the four Maidens" Zecromac said with the two blinking, making Zecromac smirk
"Yeah, So far I've encountered the four beautiful women about six times in my eternal moments in this world, And i have to say, you people are advancing in technology really well, so for that, i tip my jester hat" Zecromac said with a jesters bow, making the two frown as he became serious.
"But I'm fine on my own, thanks... but no thanks" Zecromac said before whipping his right hand out with a scythe appearing in his hand, followed by him swinging the blade behind him, resting the weapon on his back the two noticed the black blood on the blade, stepping aside they saw the beheaded corpse of a Beowolf behind him, turning to the corpse Zecromac inhaled proudly.
"Anything else?"
"We've come here to take you to the headmaster, by any means" another female voice spoke with Zecromac looking to his right, instantly seeing a lone figure he watched the mystery woman walk forward, making his eyes widen in fury at seeing a tied up Neo in her grip, staring at the woman she dropped Neo rudely on the ground, unsheathing her weapon she placed the blade beside Neo's neck.
"Raven, we talked about this, no hurting civillians" the blonde male spoke with a scowl, turning to the woman she scoffed.
"If we want results, we do it at any means, now will you come quietly or no-" the now named Raven spoke before turning to Zecromac, making her eyes blink before she was sent forward by a kick, skipping on the ground the two peaceful members of the team froze at Zecromac speed, seeing him kneel down to remove Neo's bindings she scowled at the woman.
"You fucking bitch, you said I'd get ice cream!" at that Zecromac himself had a large drop of sweat on his head.
"Really, you let bribery get you?"
"Shut up dad, it's your fualt i have that Neopolitan addiction"
"I didn't think you'd et an addiction to begin with!"
"Uh, excuse me" the woman in the white Cloak spoke meekly with the two turning to her, making her eep at Neo's angry stare.
"What do you want?"
"They want us to go with them"
"After what that Bitch did to me, Hell n-OOW!" Neo said before Zecromac flicked her left ear, making her pout angrilly before Zecromac threw her to Summer, just in time to block Raven's... Yellow sword, making his eyes widen as he was electrified, sending him back with a kick Zecromac was embedded in a tree, making him groan before he was stuck in place by a Katana to the chest, making Neo Scream.
"DAD!" the petite Teenager yelled with the blonde male yelling at the woman.
"RAVEN, WE NEEDED HIM ALIVE!" the male yelled with the woman turning to the man.
"He refused to go with us Taiyang, he had no use" the woman said before she froze, turning to the tree Zecromac was her eyes widened at his absence, freezing in a feeling of fear she turned to see the god himself standing beside her with a bored expression, the wound in his chest healing.
"I'm of no use, eh?" the god said before punching her face, sending her flying into a wall she landed on her feet to glare, only to freeze as a scythe stabbed into the bark beside her head, making her stare at the blade in front of her face she fainted.
"Go back to Beacon, and tell them I'll consider the help, but i won't rely on them for protection, I will however receive updates, so with that, goodbye, and Neo" the man said with the girl paling at his stern look.
"Be careful with your language"
