Oh how the dice rolls in this never ending game of chess. How fate gets thrusted into the hands of those willing to bring the world to it's ever lasting knees. How the lives of millions hang in the balance, ready to fall into the clutches of despair and turmoil. How it all falls on men who would either make history, or have it take a darker side. Man craves for power, how it wishes to mingle with Gods and proclaim himself mighty. Such is the behaviour of humans, I am merely a presence amongst them. Watching from above as their world is plunged into despair by the actions of others. The mountain of bodies keep piling up and the blood spilt is enough to flood oceans. Humans, how they are so violent.

But that is not the case here, humans as they are, are a violent like race. But they possess power much stronger than others. It's their will, their will to fight. Something I cannot understand. You beat a man down and strip him of everything he has, yet somehow he still gets back up. You take something precious from a man and he will come after you no matter what. Yet sometimes, taking the most dearest thing from someone can break them.

I, the Outsider, have seen many a great. I have travelled through worlds, seen the future and revisited the past. Playing with man and changing the courses of history. Watching the world prosper, or suffer horrendously. But it is not my choice to make the world prosper or suffer, it's the people I visit who have the choice. The ones who bear my mark and use it for their will. Some, choose to make good with their powers, others use it to kill, and some just want to put others under their boot and watch as their dreams come true.

People such as Corvo have interested me very much indeed. I did not think such a man would change the fate of Dunwall. But it all wouldn't have started if it wasn't for a dear old friend. Daud, how I have watched you grow over the years, how the bodies pile up and the ocean of blood expanding greatly. Your story started out great until I lost interest. But then, I come to you with Dunwall hanging in the very balance. Daud was right about one thing, the empress was different. This time, he wouldn't fade into the shadows, this time his actions would have consequences.

If only little Corvo knew what Daud had done, perhaps he would've had a better heart. But it's something I can't change now. But Delilah was far from dead, a prison can only hold a monster for so long. Until the chains rot away and the beast beast breaks free. Corvo's precious Emily was spared from a being puppet thanks to Daud, and with that another strange turn of events has caught my eyes.

In the far distance of the void, a world fights an ever growing battle. Where humans possess the ability to become much more. The world of Remnant, what an interesting fate. If only the people knew what was coming. Darkness hangs in the balance and manipulates everybody. Peace is fragile between the four Kingdoms. But it's the way they unite against a common threat, standing as one against a dark foreign entity.

But something else has caught my undivided attention, a certain woman, one that is equally frightening towards man. And one that may concern me. The future does not look bright for the world of Remnant. Whoever this woman is, she is about to upset the balance of world. And it may even affect the void itself of such turmoil. Perhaps maybe it's time to even the odds.

Selecting one for this task is risky, Corvo is something I would not pick as he will absolutely not obey me unless I strike up a deal. Perhaps Emily? No, she is too emotional. She would simply cause more havoc. Perhaps Billie Lurk might be a good choice? No, she is too simple minded at times. She has better goals in life and she is not that interesting. Which all boils down to another option. Daud, the Knife of Dunwall. The aging old man has saved a kingdom after putting it into despair, perhaps he can save a world this time?

Although Daud may need some talking, I think he might just fit the perfect role. Daud, prepare yourself, you have one more task, one that will heavily burden you. You have taken my interest again. The bodies may hit the floor and the ocean will rise so, or maybe a change of heart has taken you. Your decision is not mine. In exchange for this game of mine, I will offer you a chance at redemption. Altering history itself is a huge bargain, but it's something that I'm willing to bargain with.

Now then, the dice has been thrown and the fate of Remnant hangs in the balance with one ruthless man, this may be perhaps the most interesting time of my life yet.

-The Outsider


Well, that's one way to introduce a story. A sadistic God now mingling with other worlds. How will Remnant cope with it's new addition, the Knife of Dunwall.
