Chapter One: Introductions and the Origin of All Things
Hello? Is this thing on? What the hell am I saying, this is a book not a damn microphone. Well anyway, salutations! And congratulations on your promotion from Mindless Sheep to Dumbass Second Class after purchasing this fine piece of literature. Wait, you didn't buy this? Even better! You just earned yourself a promotion to Dumbass First Class! Two promotions in a row? Your parents must be proud. Unless you are one of those tragic hero types.In which case, I hope you're rich at least.
Sorry, we are getting off topic here. The purpose of this handbook is to elevate knowledge seeking individuals like yourself to the rank of Idiot. Because if Existence has taught me anything, it is that idiots have a tendency to achieve the impossible.
Before we get down to the meat of this book, introductions are in order. My name is...actually I don't have name. Huh. Well to make things simple you may call me N7Slayer-D. Or Slayer. Or D if you are nasty. Which ever floats your boat.
As for what I do, I am what you may call an observer. I know, cliche, but if you have seen the things I have in the glorious Omniverse you would be green with envy. But because I have seen so much, I have a tendency to forget events. To prevent this I have taken to keeping records of everything that goes on as it happens, I even video footage! That's right I record everything that goes on in the Omniverse, including the dirty things you people do behind closed doors (sometimes even out in public. Some of you guys can get real freaky out there.) What? I am not a pervert! This is all for the sake of those who wish review such events. But who else looks at these records other than myself you ask? We'll get into that in later on in this chapter.
The following chapters in this book will provide you all the information you need to understand how the Omniverse as a whole works while also giving you an idea of the major players are. You know, so that you can determine whether you should either run away or look back on your miserable life that led you to the moment you fucked up royally. Now on to the very first topic of discussion.
The Omniverse. The very reason you even picked up this book. But what is it exactly? To put it simply the Omniverse is, well...EVERYTHING. To be more specific it is the collection of every single universe, multiverse, megaverse, dimension (alternate or pocket), realm, and plane of existence. This even includes every single literary, television show, movie, urban legend, etc. ever. Every dream, fantasy, idea, thought seen or heard of including those that were not are present in the Omniverse. This is because all that things that were, are, or could ever be, are contained in the Omniverse*. And there is only one Omniverse.
Let that sink in for a minute. That means that you, yes you Dumbass First Class, are a part of the Omniverse. Trippy huh? While you may consider the world of your favorite comic or anime as a mere work of ficition, remember another reality may think the same of you and your's.
Remember that little asterisk a few sentences back? Well I may have lied a bit. You see, while the Omniverse does contain EVERYTHING, at some point in Existence, a human named Kevin Brashear, son of the Blue Marvel, became the first and only being to EXIT then RE-ENTER the Omniverse. Just saying that makes my brain hurt. Note, this human is no one special. He doesn't even begin to register on the radar of the two most powerful beings in the Omniverse, yet somehow, this mortal was able to do what even they cannot. How he accomplished this is still unknown, even to me, because such a feet by the very definition of the Omniverse is impossible.
It just goes to show that Idiots have a tendency to do the impossible.
Convention holds that all things have a beginning. Well convention can suck it, because the Omniverse was always simply...there. It was Infinite before the concept even existed. The Unending Void, the Origin of All. Before, there was no life. No concept existed within the realm. That is, until something new happened in this Void.
A spark.
A tiny insignificant spark that seemed shine bright despite not having no conceivable source from which it came. This Spark gave life to the concepts of Light and Darkness, which then gave rise to a endless multitude of color that filled the Omniverse in a kaleidoscope. The Spark then became a Seed, and grew roots so that it may feed upon to the only things that had been around as long as the Void. The Aether and the Nether.
At the very same time as this was going on something else was being created. A being with no distinct form was born from the Infinite. It had no name but it knew instinctually that it had no limit to what it could do. It watched over the Seed and witnessed it grow from its energy sources. It grew into a mighty Tree with infinite branches sprouting from it's great trunks. And from these countless branches, worlds, universes, multiverses, megaverses, and so on came forth. Though some were incredibly similar, each was different from the last. And as life began to flourish in each the Infinite Being grew curious. As many of the life forms slept, they also dreamed which seem to be the catalyst for the birth of another inhabitant of the Void. But instead of being shapeless like the Infinite One, it morphed into some manner of beast never before seen. The Dreamt One first created a massive reptilian-like body with four strong limbs and a tail.
Next came the wings, and reminiscent of a bat's with the thin membrane hanging from each wing's spine. Then the scales. Row upon row of overlapping material that was stronger than any substance in existence attached themselves to the body of this imposing creature, making it seemingly shine in a bloody crimson. With this powerful armor came ivory claws that were meant solely for the purpose of rending flesh from victims, and razor sharp teeth that could only mean death to all who they clamped on to.
With it's metamorphosis complete, the Dreamt One opened its now emerald green eyes for the first time ever. It surveyed all within its gaze, before reeling it's head back to let loose a deafening roar that spanned the entire Omniverse. It roared with all of it's newfound might to let Existence know of it's creation.
The birth of the Dream.
The birth of the Apocalypse.
The birth of the Great Red, Dragon of Dragons.
Once done, the Great Red simply took off in a direction of its choosing and left the Infinite One alone. Once again the Infinite One was curious. It wondered what having a physical form would be like and so following in a similar fashion as the Great Red, but instead of a more grandiose transformation, the Infinite One simply gave it's shapeless mass of energy an asexual humanoid form with pointed ears and lilac reptilian-like eyes. It looked itself over a few times when it decided that like the beings that house themselves within the World Tree, it would need to give itself a name as well.
The Great Black? No.
Infinity? No.
The One Above All? Oh god no.
Ophis?
...
...
Ophis will do.
And thus Ophis, the Dragon God of the Infinite was born.
