Omega: After playing Dark Souls, I have decided that a FanFic of it would be rather cool. So, me thinking 'Why the ef not!' decided to make one. Enjoy it my good readers.

Chapter 1: Jailbreak

A cell in the lovely five star resort that is the Undead Asylum...

Jack sat there feeling bored out of his mind. He had been in this place for over two years just sitting in this cell as his sanity chipped away and he continued to look more and more like a beef-jerky zombie. To think, before he died, that he was on his way to fame, glory, and power. If it were not for the fact that he was back-stabbed, literally, by some jerk with a weird mask and some very tough armor which he could friggin ninja flip in! Well, that was years ago anyway. At least he still had his armor, a nice fine set of Elite Knight Armor he had acquired when he was visiting Astora. Though, sitting in this cell had rusted it somewhat.

Jack was thinking of a way out when a body tumbled down the hole in the ceiling and next to him. He looked up at man in the same armor as him, only in better condition. Jack stood to talk but the knight quickly disappeared. So, he decided to inspect the body, maybe there was some at least half rotten food for him to eat. Instead, he found himself a broken sword and a ring of keys. A smile etched its way across Jack's face as he fumbled with the keys to find the right one. After maybe 5 minutes he grew impatient and kicked the door. It fell off its hinges.

Jack stood in disbelief thinking that he could have done that much earlier. He shook it off, happy that he was at least free from the cell. He walked down the hallway with his stub of a sword at the ready. He came across a mumbling Hollow, which he promptly stabbed in the gut. The skeletal undead fell to the ground and Jack felt the souls rush to him.

"Ah, refreshing." Jack said happily. He continued forward and reached a room with a pool of sewage water and a Hollow crouched in it. Jack got his attention, parried his attack, and jabbed the Hollow's own weapon into his gut. Jack continued on with even more souls stocked up. Jack climbed the ladder and came into a courtyard with a sword stabbed into a pile of bones in the center. He approached it and reached to pull out the sword only for it to light ablaze at his touch. Jack staggered back and looked at the flame. It felt somewhat comforting to him, so he sat down and rested for a moment.

He stood and walked through the large double doors. He was about half way across the large room when some massively fat demon popped from the sky and slammed down. Jack instinctively made a wuss run for the opened door on the left yelling "OH SHIT!" at least 5 times. He ran down the stairs into another room like the sewage run except it possessed another one of those swords in it. He touched it and it lit up. Jack took another rest before he decided to move on. He threw his broken sword into the eye of the Hollow in the room and continued into the outside hallway.

Jack just exited when an arrow flew by his head. He dived forward and grabbed his confiscated Crest Shield off of a dead guard. He stood and blocked the next procession of arrows and rushed the archer, who made a sissy run once Jack was in ten feet of him. Jack picked up his Astorian Straight Sword from the other guard's body. He followed the archer and ended up at a stairwell overlooking the courtyard. He assumed that the downward stairs would take him back to Fatty the Smasher. So, he went up, only to come running down two seconds later as a metal ball was sent tumbling down. He moved out of the way and it crashed through the wall, a Hollow followed it.

Jack put a massive gash on the Hollow and went through the hole in the wall. He entered and saw the knight from before lying on top of a pile of bricks with a hole in the ceiling illuminating him.

"Hey, you are the guy who got me out of the cell, thanks." Jack said, truly meaning it.

"No problem my good man, I am Oscar of Astora." the knight replied.

"I am Jack of, um, well, just call me Jack, can't remember exactly where I am from." Jack said rubbing his head and letting out a small chuckle.

"Well, nice to meet you Jack, but it seems this will be a short meeting." Oscar said grimly.

"I take it you are hurt? I can tell from hole in the roof." Jack said.

"Yes, it seems my journey ends here. But, I believe you can continue it. You ever hear of the legend of the Chosen Undead?" Oscar asked coughing.

"Yep, you here for that purpose?" Jack asked.

"Yes, since you already know." Oscar said reaching into his pack. "Take these." Oscar handed Jack a key and a emerald flask.

"Thanks, what are these?" Jack asked.

"A key to the upstairs door and an Estus Flask that holds up to 20 drinks. Sadly, I only have five left, but they heal any wound to an Undead and can be refreshed at the Bonfires." Oscar said.

"You're undead right?" Jack asked looking at Oscar like he was stupid.

"Yes."

"Hold this." Jack handed the Estus Flask to Oscar. " Drink it. "Oscar took a big gulp of Estus and was standing up with sword and shield in hand at full health.

"Why didn't I think of that?" Oscar asked his palm. "Regardless, thank you."

"No problem. Now, would you mind helping me get out of here?"

"Sure, the way up the stairs would let us drop on the Asylum Demon's head and kill it instantly." Oscar said.

"Let's go then."

The two made their way up and killed the awaiting Hollows. They stood on the little ledge above the demon. It looked up just as the two came down and plunger their blades into its eyes. The beast gave out a roar as it fell and dispersed into souls. Jack absorbed them but Oscar apparently didn't.

"Why did I not receive any power?" Oscar complained.

"I think only the real Chosen can collect them. Actually never mind, you just got half of what I did, so you just didn't feel it." Jack pointed out.

"Oh, good." Oscar happily said.

Jack noticed a small black orb sitting where the demon once stood. Jack picked it up and crushed it in his hand out of some unknown instinct and felt a rush of new life flow through him. He walked to the Bonfire he sat at it. The Estus Flask refilled and Jack placed his hand into the flame, but was not burnt. Instead he felt that life amplify and his body start to regenerate. His Hollowed and ugly face returned to the handsome image it once was, very defined and strong built with green eyes and brown hair. Jack was ecstatic at the return of his humanity.

"Looks like you got a humanity!" Oscar said.

"So that is what that was." Jack responded.

"They can return an Undead back to a human, but only for as long the Undead stays alive will that humanity last. So try not to die, again." Oscar said.

"Got it, now we need to get out of here."

"Agreed." Oscar said leading the way to the doors the demon had guarded.

The two went through and walked to the cliff edge. They looked around for a possible way out but couldn't find one. After about a moment, the two felt themselves being swept from their feet as a massive bird grabbed them and took them off to the land of Lordran, where their journey would begin.
